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 element of this system is the ability to throw rocks, which can be a game-changer in your stealth strategy. Here's a detailed guide on how to master this technique.
How To Throw Rocks in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
It's crucial to understand that rock throwing is only available when in stealth mode. To enter stealth, click the right stick on your controller or press C on your PC. Once in stealth, hold the following button based on your platform 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, helping you aim your throw. When you've chosen your target, release the button to send the rock flying.

Tips and Tricks for Throwing Rocks in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
A crucial advantage of rock throwing in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is that rocks are unlimited, so you don't need to worry about collecting them after a miss. However, since Henry is throwing small pebbles, the noise they create has a limited radius. Aim close to your target for the best effect. If your rock hits objects like cups or plates, it will produce a sharper sound, drawing more attention.

Successfully throwing a rock near enemies will often cause them to investigate the noise, providing you with an opportunity to either stealthily take them down or slip away unnoticed. Be cautious, though; directly hitting an enemy with a rock will immediately alert them and cause a commotion.
Rocks also serve another purpose: knocking down bird nests. These are scattered throughout the game's world and can yield useful items like eggs, which offer minor nourishment, or even dice badges if you're fortunate.
And that's everything you need to know about throwing rocks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and tricks, The Escapist offers guides on various aspects of the game, such as acquiring the best horse or selling stolen goods, should you choose to pursue a life of thievery.
