How do I use torch ds2?

To use a torch in Dark Souls 2, you need to be near a lit bonfire or sconce and press Y when prompted to, and then press A to light a torch instead of resting at the bonfire. The torch has a limited time to function, and you can equip it in your left hand instead of using a shield, which illuminates darkened areas and functions similarly to the Skull Lantern in the original game.

Torch Usage and Benefits

Equipping and Lighting a Torch

To equip a torch, it must be in your inventory, and you can view it in your Equipment page next to your armor items, where you’ll see a timer shown next to the icon of a torch. Lighting the torch starts the timer, and it only stops once the torch is extinguished.
