Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, it's often more strategic to knock out enemies rather than leaving a trail of bodies. Here’s how to do it effectively:

To knock out an enemy, start by crouching with the circle button and sneak up behind your target. When you're close enough, a "Knock Out" prompt will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. Press the corresponding button to initiate the action. A blue icon with swords will appear; at this point, press the R2 button to successfully knock out the NPC. If Henry fails on the first attempt and the NPC begins to struggle, watch for a shield icon to appear. Press L2 to prevent the NPC from escaping and complete the knockout. If you miss both prompts, the NPC will escape, likely leading to a confrontation.

The success of this maneuver depends on both the NPC's strength and Henry's strength stat. To increase your chances, consider acquiring the following perks:

• Tight Grip
• Sandman

These perks will significantly improve your ability to knock out opponents, making stealth operations smoother.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For a more lethal approach, equip a dagger for stealth kills. The process mirrors that of knocking out enemies: sneak up behind your target. If you have the dagger ready, a prompt will appear allowing you to execute a stealth kill.

And that's everything you need to know about handling enemies quietly in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and information on the game, including how to obtain Herb Paris and how to romance Katherine, be sure to check out The Escapist.
