How to Knock Out Foes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, while charging in with weapons drawn can be thrilling, there are times when a subtler approach is necessary. Here’s a detailed guide on how to knock out enemies and NPCs in the game, ensuring you can navigate the world with finesse and strategy.

Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Sometimes, it's not just about leaving a trail of bodies behind in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. There are situations where knocking out an enemy instead of killing them can be the smarter move. Here's how you can do it effectively:

• First, press the circle button to crouch and move stealthily behind your target. When you're close enough, a prompt to "Knock Out" will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. Press the corresponding button to initiate the action.
• Watch for a blue icon with swords to appear onscreen. At this moment, press the R2 button to execute the knockout. If Henry fails on the first attempt and the NPC begins to struggle, a shield icon will appear. Quickly press L2 to prevent the NPC from escaping and complete the knockout.
• Be aware that failing both prompts will allow the NPC to escape, potentially leading to an open confrontation.

The success of knocking out an NPC depends significantly on their strength and Henry's own strength stat. To improve your chances, consider acquiring the following perks:

• Tight Grip: Enhances your ability to hold onto an NPC during a knockout attempt.
• Sandman: Increases the overall chance of successfully knocking out an NPC.

These perks can make your stealthy endeavors much smoother and more effective.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For those moments when a lethal approach is preferred, stealth killing is your go-to method. Here’s how to execute it:

• Equip a dagger, as this is essential for stealth kills.
• Approach an NPC from behind while crouched. Once close enough, a prompt will appear allowing you to perform a stealth kill.

This method ensures you can take down enemies quietly and efficiently, maintaining the element of surprise.
