While it might not be the most thrilling aspect compared to open combat against foes, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* introduces a stealth system that allows players to sneak around enemies. A key component of these stealth tactics is the ability to throw rocks, and here’s how you can master this skill.
How to Throw Rocks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
It’s crucial to understand that you can only throw rocks while in stealth mode. To enter stealth, click the right stick on your controller or press C on your PC. Once in stealth, depending on your platform, press and hold the following button to prepare to throw a rock:
- PlayStation: R1
- Xbox: RB
- PC: G
As you hold the button, Henry’s right hand will appear on the screen, clutching a pebble. A small crosshair will also appear, indicating the trajectory of your throw. Aim carefully and release the button to send the rock flying to your chosen spot.

Tips and Tricks for Throwing Rocks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Embrace the art of stealth, as the most advantageous aspect of throwing rocks is their unlimited supply. You won't need to worry about retrieving your missed shots, allowing you to focus on your strategy.
Keep in mind that Henry throws small pebbles, which produce a limited noise radius. Ensure your target is close to where you aim, as the sound of the rock hitting the ground may not be loud enough to attract attention from a distance. However, if you strike objects like cups or plates, the resulting noise will be sharper and more likely to draw enemies closer.
When executed correctly, enemies will wander over, voicing their confusion. This gives you the opportunity to either silently take them down or continue on your way. Be cautious, though; hitting an enemy directly with a rock will instantly trigger a commotion.
Rocks can also serve another purpose: knocking down bird nests scattered across the map. These nests often contain valuable rewards such as eggs, which offer a small nutritional boost, or even dice badges if fortune smiles upon you.
And that’s everything you need to know about throwing rocks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and guides to enhance your gameplay, The Escapist offers resources on topics like acquiring the best horse or selling stolen items, perfect for those continuing their stealthy adventures.
