"Mastering Knockouts in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Tips and Tricks"
In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you don't always have to resort to lethal force. Sometimes, a subtler approach like knocking out enemies and NPCs can be more advantageous. Here's a detailed guide on how to master this technique in the game.
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 scenarios where it's more beneficial to knock out your adversaries and leave them unconscious. Follow these steps to execute a successful knock out:
- Start by pressing the circle button to crouch and sneak up behind your target.
- Once you're close enough, a prompt to "Knock Out" will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. Press the designated button to initiate the knock out.
- Watch for a blue icon with swords to appear onscreen; this is your cue to press the R2 button to complete the knock out.
- If Henry fails the first attempt and the NPC starts to struggle, a shield icon will appear. Quickly press L2 to prevent them from escaping and ensure a successful knock out.
- If you miss both prompts, the NPC will escape, likely leading to an open confrontation.
The success of knocking out an NPC depends heavily on the strength of both the NPC and Henry. To increase your chances, consider acquiring the following perks:
- Tight Grip: Enhances your ability to hold onto your target.
- Sandman: Increases the likelihood of a successful knock out.
These perks can significantly improve your stealth capabilities, making it easier to navigate through the game without drawing unnecessary attention.
How to Stealth Kill Enemies
For those moments when a more lethal approach is necessary, stealth killing is an option. Here's how you can do it:
- Equip a dagger, as this is essential for stealth kills.
- Sneak up behind the NPC just as you would for a knock out.
- With the dagger equipped, a prompt will appear allowing you to execute a stealth kill.
Mastering these techniques can give you a strategic edge in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed guides on other aspects of the game, such as how to find Herb Paris or romance Katherine, be sure to check out The Escapist.
