While it might not be as thrilling as direct combat, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* introduces a stealth system that allows players to sneak past enemies. A key component of this stealth approach is rock throwing, and 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 you can only throw rocks while in stealth mode. To enter stealth, click the right stick on your controller or press the C key 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. You’ll see a small crosshair to help you aim your throw. Once you've lined up your target, 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 won't need to gather rocks after missing your target. However, keep in mind that the pebbles Henry throws create a limited noise radius, so aim close to your intended target. If your rock hits objects like cups or plates, it will produce a sharper sound, drawing more attention.

When executed correctly, enemies will wander over to investigate the noise, giving you a chance to either take them down stealthily or slip away unnoticed. Be cautious, though; hitting an enemy directly with a rock can cause an immediate alert and trigger a commotion.
Rocks can also be used to knock down bird nests, which are scattered across the game's map. These nests can yield valuable rewards such as eggs for nourishment or even dice badges if fortune smiles upon you.
And that's everything you need to know about throwing rocks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
