Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide

For those familiar with the original game, brace yourselves: the lockpicking mini-game returns in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it's just as challenging as before. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to tackle it:

1. Ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory.
2. Interact with a lock. This could be on a door or a chest.
3. Use the right stick to explore the lock until the cursor turns into a golden circle.
4. While keeping the cursor on the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock until it unlocks.

It might sound straightforward, but maintaining the cursor on the golden circle is far more difficult than it seems. While holding L2, you must continuously adjust the right stick to stay within the golden circle, or your lockpick will break, forcing you to start over.

To mitigate frustration, save your game right before attempting to pick a lock. Remember, if your lockpick breaks, not only will you lose it, but you'll also make noise, potentially attracting nearby NPCs.

Although challenging, persistence pays off. Start with easier locks and as your lockpicking skill improves, you'll find the process less daunting.

How to Get More Lockpicks

Acquiring more lockpicks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is relatively straightforward. While you can't purchase them from merchants, you can often find them by looting guards, soldiers, and bandits. You don't necessarily need to engage in combat; pickpocketing is a viable and often safer option.

That sums up the essentials of lockpicking in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
