How to Knock Out Enemies in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you might find yourself tempted to go in guns blazing (metaphorically, of course), but sometimes, a subtler approach is necessary. Here's how to master the art of knocking out enemies and NPCs, ensuring you can navigate the game's world with finesse and strategy.

Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Leaving a trail of bodies isn't always the best strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Sometimes, knocking out an enemy and leaving them unconscious is the smarter move. Here's how to do it effectively:

• Start by pressing the circle button to crouch, then stealthily approach your target from behind.
• Once 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.
• When a blue icon with swords appears, press the R2 button to successfully knock out the NPC.
• If Henry fails the first attempt and the NPC struggles, a shield icon will appear. Quickly press L2 to prevent the NPC from escaping and complete the knockout.
• Should you fail both prompts, the NPC will escape, likely leading to an open confrontation.

The success of knocking out an NPC depends heavily 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 struggling NPCs.
• Sandman: Increases your overall chance of successfully knocking out an enemy.

These perks can significantly ease the challenge of sneaking around and taking down enemies without alerting others.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For those times when a more lethal approach is required, stealth killing with a dagger is your go-to method. Here's how to execute it:

• Equip a dagger and sneak up behind your target.
• Once close enough, a prompt will appear allowing you to perform a stealth kill. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the action.
