Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Guide - Stealth Kills

Stealth Kills in Kingdom Come 2

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you can eliminate enemies and civilians with one hit using stealth mode. However, to successfully perform stealth kills, you will need certain skills and equipment. In this guide, we will tell you what you need for stealth kills and how they work.

Where to Find the Stealth Kill Dagger

At the very beginning of the game, you have the opportunity to neutralize an enemy by simply strangling him with your bare hands. But in order to kill with one hit, you will need a dagger. It can be obtained during the mission "Wedding Planner", exploring secondary quests: from the miller in Nizhny Semin or from the blacksmith in Takhov. In addition, the dagger can be found in various locations of the game or purchased in the Gypsy Camp.

How to perform stealth assassinations in Kingdom Come 2

The process of stealth assassinations is quite simple. Sneak up to the target from behind. If you are not noticed, a hint will appear (press F). Then, when the icon with blue swords appears, press the attack button. For example, if you decide to kill a defenseless maid, she may die without additional key presses. However, some characters require a more precise approach, and you may need to block their countermeasures. The QTE mechanics in this case work similarly to normal combat.

There is another way to stealth kill. Find a powerful crossbow, load it and approach the victim from behind. Aim for the base of the neck, as crossbow bolts may initially fly higher than the target. Damage will vary depending on your shooting skill level, the quality of the crossbow, the enemy's armor, and the type of bolt, so a successful kill cannot be guaranteed.
