In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, sometimes a subtle approach is better than brute force. This guide explains how to incapacitate enemies without killing them.
Knocking Out Enemies
Leaving a trail of corpses isn't always ideal. Knocking out enemies offers a stealthier alternative. Here's how:
- Crouch using the circle button and sneak up behind an NPC.
- A "Knock Out" prompt will appear in the bottom right corner when you're close enough. Press the designated button.
- A blue icon with swords will appear. Press R2 to knock out the NPC.
- If Henry fails, a shield icon will appear. Press L2 to prevent the NPC's escape and try again. Failure on both attempts will likely lead to a fight.
Success depends on Henry's strength compared to the NPC's. The following perks increase your chances:
- Tight Grip: Improves knockout success rate.
- Sandman: Similarly enhances knockout chances.
Stealth Killing Enemies
For a more lethal stealth approach, equip a dagger. The process is similar to knocking out: sneak up from behind, and a stealth kill prompt will appear.
