Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide

Veteran players of the first game will be disappointed to learn the lockpicking minigame returns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and it's just as challenging.

Here's the process:

1. Inventory Check: Ensure you have a lockpick.
2. Interact: Approach a locked door or chest and interact with it.
3. Target the Sweet Spot: Use the right stick to manipulate the lock until the cursor becomes a golden circle.
4. Precision is Key: While maintaining the golden circle with the right stick, hold L2 to rotate the lock. This requires steady control; straying from the golden circle will break your lockpick.

Important Considerations:

• Save Often: Save your game before attempting any lockpick to avoid frustration from broken tools and restarts.
• Noise Factor: A broken lockpick creates noise, potentially attracting nearby NPCs.
• Skill Matters: Lockpicking skill improves your success rate; start with easier locks to hone your abilities.

Obtaining More Lockpicks

Lockpicks aren't readily available for purchase. Instead, they're commonly found as loot from defeated or incapacitated guards, soldiers, and bandits. Pickpocketing is a viable alternative to combat.
