Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To equip a torch, access your inventory, equip a pouch, then select and equip the torch. Exiting the inventory, press and hold the down directional pad (or 'R' key on PC) to activate the torch. A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms it's equipped. Remember, torches have a limited burn time, so carry spares. Also note that torch use is compatible only with one-handed weapons; you cannot wield a two-handed weapon or a shield simultaneously with a torch.
Why Use a Torch?
Beyond improved visibility in darkness, carrying a torch is mandatory in settlements and towns after dark. Failing to do so will result in pursuit and interrogation by guards, leading to a fine or imprisonment. Furthermore, locals may be less cooperative if you approach them unlit.
Obtaining Torches
Torches are readily available from general merchants in towns or can be looted from fallen enemies and chests.
