Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide
For veterans of the first game, prepare for a familiar challenge: the lockpicking minigame returns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and it's just as challenging as before.
Here's the process:
- Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
- Interact: Approach a lock (door or chest) and interact with it.
- Target the Sweet Spot: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it becomes a golden circle. This is crucial.
- Precision and Patience: While maintaining the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock. This requires steady control; straying from the golden circle will break your lockpick.
This sounds straightforward, but maintaining that golden circle is significantly more difficult than it appears. A broken lockpick means restarting the process and potentially alerting nearby NPCs.
Pro-Tip: Save your game before attempting any lockpicking.
Though frustrating, persistence pays off. Start with simpler locks to hone your skills. As your lockpicking proficiency increases, you'll find the process becomes smoother.
How to Acquire More Lockpicks
Finding lockpicks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is relatively easy. While merchants don't sell them, they're frequently found as loot from fallen guards, soldiers, and bandits. You can even try pickpocketing them to avoid combat.
