Mastering Stealth in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: The Art of Rock Throwing

While direct combat has its thrills, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's stealth mechanics offer a compelling alternative. A key element of successful stealth is the ability to distract enemies using rocks. This guide details how to effectively utilize this tactic.

Initiating the Throw:

Remember, rock throwing is exclusively a stealth action. Enter stealth mode by pressing the right stick (controllers) or the C key (PC). Then, hold the following button to initiate a throw:

  • PlayStation: R1
  • Xbox: RB
  • PC: G

A crosshair will appear, indicating the rock's trajectory. Release the button to throw.

Tips and Strategies:

  • Unlimited Ammo: You have an unlimited supply of pebbles, so don't worry about conserving them.
  • Noise Radius: The sound radius is relatively small, so ensure your target is within close proximity. Hitting objects like crockery will create a louder distraction.
  • Distraction and Opportunity: Successfully thrown rocks will draw enemies to investigate, creating an opening for a stealth takedown or a discreet retreat. Direct hits will, however, alert them immediately.
  • Bird Nests: Explore the game world to locate bird nests. These can be knocked down with rocks, yielding rewards such as eggs (providing minor nourishment) or even valuable dice badges.
