Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Ultimate Guide to Stealth Attacks

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, sometimes a subtle approach is better than brute force. This guide explains how to incapacitate enemies without killing them.

Knocking Out Enemies

Leaving a trail of corpses isn't always ideal. Knocking out enemies offers a stealthier alternative. Here's how:

  1. Crouch: Press the circle button to crouch and approach an NPC from behind.
  2. Knock Out Prompt: A "Knock Out" prompt appears in the bottom right corner when you're close enough. Press the indicated button.
  3. Timing is Key: A blue icon with swords will appear. Press R2 to successfully knock out the NPC.
  4. Second Chance: If Henry fails, a shield icon appears. Press L2 to restrain the NPC and try again. Failure on both attempts will likely lead to a fight.

Success depends on Henry's strength compared to the NPC's. These perks improve your chances:

  • Tight Grip: Increases knockout success rate.
  • Sandman: Increases knockout success rate.

Stealth Kills

For a lethal stealth approach, equip a dagger. The process is similar to knocking out: sneak up from behind, and a stealth kill prompt will appear if a dagger is equipped.
