While a full-on assault is always an option in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, sometimes a more subtle approach is necessary. Knowing how to incapacitate enemies without killing them can be crucial. 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 the best strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Sometimes, incapacitating an enemy is the smarter move. Here's how:
- Crouch: Press the circle button to crouch and stealthily approach your target from behind.
- Knock Out Prompt: Once close enough, a "Knock Out" prompt will appear in the bottom right corner. Press the indicated button.
- Timing is Key: A blue icon with swords will appear. Press R2 to successfully knock out the NPC.
- Second Chance: If Henry fails the first attempt and the NPC struggles, a shield icon will appear. Press L2 to restrain them and complete the knockout.
- Failure: Failing both attempts will likely lead to a fight.
Your success rate depends on the NPC's strength and Henry's strength stat. However, certain perks can significantly improve your chances:
- Tight Grip
- Sandman
These perks increase your chances of a successful knockout, making stealth much easier.
How to Stealth Kill Enemies
For a more lethal, silent 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 close enough.
