How to Knock Out Enemies in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, while charging into battle with weapons drawn can be thrilling, there are moments when a subtler approach is necessary. Here's how to effectively knock out enemies and NPCs in the game.

Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Sometimes, leaving a trail of bodies isn't the best strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Knocking out an enemy can be a smarter move, allowing you to proceed without raising alarms. Here's how to do it:

• Begin by pressing the circle button to crouch, then stealthily approach your target from behind. When you're close enough, a 'Knock Out' prompt will appear in the bottom right corner. Press the indicated button to initiate the knockout.
• Watch for a blue icon with swords to appear onscreen. At this moment, press the R2 button to successfully knock out the NPC.
• If Henry doesn't succeed on the first attempt and the NPC starts to struggle, a shield icon will appear. Quickly press L2 to prevent the NPC from escaping and ensure the knockout.
• Should you miss both prompts, the NPC will escape, likely leading to an open confrontation.

The success of your knockout attempts depends significantly on the NPC's strength and Henry's strength stat. However, certain perks can improve your chances:

• **Tight Grip**
• **Sandman**

These perks will increase your likelihood of knocking someone out, making stealth operations smoother.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For a more lethal approach, you'll need a dagger to perform stealth kills. The method remains similar:

• Sneak up behind your target with the dagger equipped. When close enough, a prompt will appear, allowing you to execute a stealth kill.
