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 demanding as before.
Here's the lockpicking procedure:
- Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
- Interact: Approach a locked door or chest and interact with it.
- Target Acquisition: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it becomes a golden circle. Precision is key.
- Unlocking: While maintaining the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock. This will unlock it if you maintain the correct position.
The challenge lies in the precision required to keep the cursor within the golden circle while rotating the lock. A slip will break your lockpick, forcing a restart. The process generates noise, potentially attracting attention.
Recommendation: Save your game before attempting to pick any lock. Starting with simpler locks is advisable, as your skill improves with practice.
How to Acquire More Lockpicks
Lockpicks aren't readily available for purchase. However, they are frequently found as loot from fallen guards, soldiers, and bandits. Pickpocketing offers a non-confrontational alternative to acquiring them.
