How to Knock Out Enemies in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

While a full-on assault is always an option in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, sometimes a more subtle approach is needed. Subduing enemies without killing them can often be the more strategic choice. Here's how to knock out enemies and NPCs in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*:

Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Leaving a trail of unconscious bodies isn't always ideal in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Knocking out enemies offers a less violent, and often more advantageous, approach. Here's how to do it:

Crouch using the circle button, then stealthily approach an NPC from behind. When close enough, a "Knock Out" prompt will appear in the bottom right corner. Press the corresponding button to attempt the knockout. If a blue icon with swords appears, press R2 to execute the knockout. If Henry fails initially and the NPC struggles (indicated by a shield icon), press L2 to restrain them and complete the knockout. Failing both attempts will likely lead to a fight.

Success depends on the NPC's strength and Henry's own strength stat. However, certain perks can significantly improve your chances:

• Tight Grip
• Sandman

These perks boost your knockout success rate, making stealth approaches much easier.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For a more lethal, yet still stealthy approach, equip a dagger. The process is similar to knocking someone out: sneak up from behind, and the stealth kill prompt will appear when you're in range.
