"Knock Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: Proven Techniques"

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, it's not always about going in guns blazing. Sometimes, a more subtle approach is necessary. Here's how you can knock out enemies and NPCs to keep your presence on the down-low.

Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Leaving a trail of bodies isn't always the best strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. There are moments where knocking out an enemy rather than killing them can be more beneficial. Here’s how to do it effectively:

Start by pressing the circle button to crouch and sneak up behind your target. Once you're close enough, a 'Knock Out' prompt will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. Press the corresponding button to initiate the action. When you see a blue icon featuring swords, hit the R2 button to successfully knock out the NPC. If Henry doesn't succeed on the first try and the NPC starts to struggle, watch for a shield icon to appear onscreen. Quickly press L2 to prevent the NPC from escaping and complete the knock-out. Should you fail both prompts, the NPC will get away, likely leading to a direct confrontation.

This method can be challenging, as your success depends heavily on both the NPC's strength and Henry’s strength stat. However, you can increase your chances with specific perks:

• Tight Grip
• Sandman

Both of these perks will boost your ability to knock out enemies, making stealth operations smoother.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For those looking to take a more lethal route, stealth killing is an option, but you'll need a dagger. The approach remains similar to knocking out: sneak up behind an NPC. With a dagger equipped, you'll see a prompt to stealth kill. Follow the on-screen instructions to execute the kill silently.
