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. One of the key elements 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 to throw a rock:
- 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 throw the rock.

Tips and Tricks for Throwing Rocks in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
The beauty of throwing rocks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* lies in their unlimited supply, meaning you don't need to worry about running out or collecting them after a miss. However, since Henry throws small pebbles, the noise they create has a limited radius. It's essential to ensure your target is close to where you aim. If you hit objects like cups or plates, the noise will be sharper and more likely to attract attention.
When executed correctly, enemies will wander over to investigate the noise, giving you the opportunity to either take them down stealthily or slip away unnoticed. Be cautious, though; hitting an enemy directly with a rock will immediately cause a commotion.
Rocks also serve another purpose: knocking down bird nests scattered across the map. These nests can contain valuable items like eggs, which offer a small nutritional boost, or even dice badges if you're fortunate.
And that's all you need to know about throwing rocks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and tricks, The Escapist has a wealth of information, including guides on how to get the best horse or how to sell stolen items, should you choose to continue your thieving ways.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
