While it may not offer the adrenaline rush of direct combat, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* introduces a stealth system that lets players sneak past enemies with finesse. One key element of this stealth strategy is the ability to throw rocks, and here's how you can master this technique.

How to Throw Rocks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

It's crucial to understand that rock throwing is exclusively available during stealth mode. To enter stealth, press the right stick on your controller or the 'C' key on your PC. Once in stealth, depending on your gaming platform, hold the following button to prepare your rock throw:

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

As you hold the button, Henry's right hand will come into view, clutching a pebble, and a crosshair will appear to help you aim. Position the crosshair where you want the rock to land, then release the button to execute the throw.

Tips and Tricks for Throwing Rocks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Stealth and strategy go hand in hand, and when it comes to rock throwing, remember that your supply of pebbles is endless, freeing you from the need to retrieve missed throws. However, since Henry uses small pebbles, the noise they create is minimal, so ensure your target is close to your intended impact area. If you strike objects like cups or plates, the sound will be sharper and more likely to attract attention.

A successful rock throw can lure enemies towards the sound, giving you the chance to either take them down silently or slip away unnoticed. Be cautious, though; hitting an enemy directly with a rock will immediately alert them and cause a commotion.

Rocks also serve another purpose: knocking down bird nests scattered throughout the game world. These nests can yield valuable rewards like eggs, which offer minor nourishment, or even dice badges if fortune smiles upon you.

That covers everything you need to know about throwing rocks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
