How to Stealth Kill in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Throughout Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you’ll sometimes have to get your hands dirty while keeping to the shadows, which is where stealth killing comes into play. Here is how to perform a Stealth Kill in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

How to Stealth Kill successfully

In order to perform a Stealth Kill in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you need to have a Dagger equipped. You can find them scattered throughout Bohemia, or you can craft one at the Blacksmith or purchase one from a merchant. Unlike most other weapons in KCD2, you can’t actually engage in combat with a Dagger. Instead, it simply gives you the option to perform a Stealth Kill.

Once you have a Dagger equipped, you then want to enter your crouched/stealth mode by hitting ‘C’ key by default on PC. When hiding, you are harder to see by enemies and this allows you to sneak up on your target to perform a Stealth Kill.

Next, walk close behind your target, and when you get close enough, you will see the prompts in the bottom right corner of the screen to execute a Stealth Kill. By default on PC, you need to hold the ‘F’ key to carry out the Stealth Kill. Simply tapping the ‘F’ key instead of holding it will perform a Knock Out, which won’t kill your target but rather disable them quietly for a short duration.

Sometimes when executing a Stealth Kill, your target will attempt to fight back. When this happens you will see indicators in the middle of your screen, similar to the counterattack and block indicators when engaged in Melee Combat. If you see the green Block indicator, you must right click, whereas if it’s the blue counter-attack indicator, you must left-click. If you fail either of these checks the enemy will stop you from executing the Stealth Kill as well as alert others in the area to come and help them.
