While it might not be as thrilling as engaging in open combat, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* offers a robust stealth system that allows players to sneak past enemies. A key component of this system is the ability to throw rocks, which can be a game-changer in your stealth strategy. Here's how you can master this technique.
How To Throw Rocks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
It's crucial to understand 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, depending on your platform, press and 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 appear on the screen, ready with a pebble. A small crosshair will also appear, guiding you to where the rock will land. Once you've aimed at 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* lies in its unlimited nature. You don't need to worry about running out of rocks or spending time to retrieve them, allowing you to focus on your stealth tactics.
Keep in mind that the pebbles Henry throws create a relatively small noise radius. To maximize their effectiveness, ensure your target is close to where you aim. Hitting objects like cups or plates can produce a sharper sound, drawing more attention.

If executed correctly, enemies will be drawn to the sound, 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 immediately cause a commotion.
Rocks also serve another purpose: knocking down bird nests scattered across the map. These nests can yield valuable rewards like eggs, which offer a small nutritional boost, or even dice badges if fortune smiles upon you.
And that's all you need to know about throwing rocks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and tricks to enhance your gameplay, The Escapist offers guides on everything from acquiring the best horse to selling stolen goods, should you choose to continue your life of stealth and thievery.
