How To Use Your Shovel or Spade | Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

If you already have a spade or a shovel in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, you can only use it at specific spots. You can’t use it to dig up holes willy-nilly! Instead, you want to look for spots where it looks like the dirt has been tampered with. These should look somewhat like the example above.

Once you get to one of those spots, you will get a prompt to dig it up as long as you keep a spade in your inventory. The exact prompt depends on what type of spot it is, though. It can be something like “Start Digging” or “Rob the Grave”, for example. Just press the button corresponding with the prompt and Henry will do all the work!

If you do not have a spade currently, you can buy them from various traders. Alternatively, you can find a free spade at the Troskowitz Cemetery early in the game. There are other spots to get it, but that’s the easiest and earliest one we’ve found.

Nonetheless, that’s all you need to know to be able to use your spade or shovel in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. In summary, keep it in your inventory and you’ll get a prompt to use it at designated digging spots. It’s as simple as that!
