Mastering Knockouts in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, while the thrill of charging into battle is undeniable, there are moments where a subtler approach is necessary. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to knock out enemies and NPCs in the game, ensuring you can navigate its medieval world with finesse and strategy.

Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, it's not always wise to leave a trail of bodies in your wake. Sometimes, knocking out an enemy and leaving them unconscious is a more strategic choice. Here's how you can accomplish this:

Begin by pressing the circle button to crouch, then stealthily approach your target from behind. As you close in, a prompt to 'Knock Out' will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. Seize the moment and press the indicated button to initiate the knockout. When the blue icon featuring swords appears, swiftly press the R2 button to successfully knock out the NPC. Should Henry falter on the first attempt, and the NPC begins to struggle, a shield icon will emerge. Quickly press L2 to prevent their escape and secure the knockout. Failing both prompts might result in the NPC breaking free, likely leading to an open confrontation.

The success of your knockout attempts hinges on the NPC's strength and Henry's own strength stat, which can make this maneuver challenging. However, acquiring certain perks can tip the scales in your favor:

• Tight Grip
• Sandman

Both perks significantly increase your chances of knocking out an adversary, making stealth operations smoother and more effective.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For those moments when a lethal approach is unavoidable, stealth killing becomes an option. Equip a dagger, and as with knocking out, sneak up on your target from behind. With the dagger ready, a prompt will appear, allowing you to execute a stealth kill efficiently.
