"Knock Out Enemies in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: A Guide"

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you don't always have to go in guns blazing (metaphorically speaking, of course). Sometimes, a subtler approach is needed, especially when it comes to dealing with enemies and NPCs. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to knock out and stealth kill in the game.

Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, leaving a trail of bodies isn't always the best strategy. Sometimes, knocking out an enemy and leaving them unconscious is a smarter move. Here's how you can do it effectively:

• Start by pressing the circle button to crouch, then sneak up behind your target NPC.
• Once you're close enough, a prompt to "Knock Out" will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. Press the corresponding button to initiate the action.
• When a blue icon with swords appears onscreen, press the R2 button to successfully knock out the NPC.
• If Henry fails the first attempt and the NPC starts to struggle, a shield icon will appear. Quickly press L2 to prevent the NPC from escaping and complete the knockout.
• Should you fail both prompts, the NPC will escape, likely leading to an open confrontation.

The success of knocking out an NPC depends heavily on their strength and Henry's own strength stat. To improve your chances, consider acquiring the following perks:

• Tight Grip: Enhances your ability to hold onto an NPC during a knockout attempt.
• Sandman: Increases your overall chance of successfully knocking out an NPC.

These perks can significantly ease the process of sneaking around and taking down enemies without raising alarms.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For those times when a more lethal approach is necessary, stealth killing is an option. Here's how to execute a stealth kill:

• Equip a dagger, as this is essential for stealth kills.
• Sneak up behind an NPC, just as you would for a knockout.
• When close enough, a prompt will appear allowing you to perform a stealth kill. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the action.
