While it might not be the most thrilling compared to open combat against foes, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 offers a robust stealth system that allows players to sneak around their enemies. A key element of this system is the ability to throw rocks, which can be a game-changer in your stealth tactics. Here's how you can master the art of rock throwing in the game.
How To Throw Rocks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
It's crucial to remember that you can only throw rocks while in stealth mode. To enter stealth, click the right stick on your controller or press C on your PC. Once in stealth, you can throw a rock by holding down the following buttons depending on your platform:
- PlayStation: R1
- Xbox: RB
- PC: G
As you hold the button, Henry's right hand will appear on the screen, ready with a pebble. You'll also see a small crosshair to guide your throw. Once you've targeted your desired location, release the button to send the rock flying.

Tips and Tricks for Throwing Rocks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The beauty of rock throwing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is that the rocks are unlimited. This means you won't need to worry about retrieving your missed throws, giving you the freedom to experiment without consequence.
Keep in mind that Henry throws small pebbles, so the noise radius is quite limited. Aim close to your target for the best effect. Hitting objects like cups or plates will create a sharper sound, potentially drawing more attention.

If executed correctly, your rock throw will lure enemies to investigate the noise, giving you a chance to either take them down stealthily or slip away unnoticed. Be cautious, though; directly hitting an enemy with a rock will trigger an immediate alert.
Rocks are also useful for knocking down bird nests scattered throughout the game world. These nests can yield valuable rewards such as eggs, which offer minor nourishment, or even rare dice badges if you're fortunate.
And that's all you need to know about throwing rocks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and tricks, The Escapist has a wealth of information, including guides on how to acquire the best horse or sell stolen goods, should you choose to continue your thieving ways.
