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 strategic use of rock throwing. Here's how to perfect this skill.

Remember: Rock throwing is exclusively a stealth action. Initiate stealth mode by clicking the right stick (controllers) or pressing C (PC). Once in stealth, hold the designated button to prepare your throw:

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

Pro Tips for Rock Throwing:

  • Unlimited Ammo: You have an endless supply of pebbles, so don't worry about conserving ammunition.
  • Noise Radius: The sound radius is relatively small, so aim for close-range targets. Keep in mind that hitting objects like crockery will create a louder disturbance.
  • Distraction and Opportunity: Successfully thrown rocks will draw enemies, giving you a chance for a stealth takedown or a strategic retreat. However, a direct hit will immediately alert them.
  • Bird Nests: Locate and target bird nests scattered throughout the game world for potential rewards like eggs (providing minor nourishment) or even valuable dice badges.
