Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide
For veterans of the first game, brace yourselves: the lockpicking minigame returns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and it's just as challenging as before.
Here's the lockpicking process:
- Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
- Interact: Approach a locked door or chest and interact with it.
- Golden Circle: 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.
Important Considerations:
- Save Often: Save your game before attempting any lockpick to avoid frustration from repeated failures.
- Consequences of Failure: A broken lockpick is lost, and the noise may attract unwanted attention.
- Skill Progression: Start with simpler locks. Your lockpicking skill improves with practice, making tougher locks more manageable.
Obtaining More Lockpicks
Lockpicks aren't typically sold by merchants. However, they are frequently found as loot from defeated or incapacitated guards, soldiers, and bandits. Pickpocketing is a viable alternative to direct combat.
