Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide
Veteran players of the first game might be disheartened: the lockpicking minigame returns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and it retains its challenging nature.
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: Utilize the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it aligns with the golden circle on the lock.
- Precision and Patience: While maintaining the cursor within the golden circle using the right stick, hold down the L2 button to initiate the lock rotation. The challenge lies in consistently keeping the cursor on the golden circle; any deviation will break your lockpick.
This process requires significant precision and patience. A broken lockpick is lost, and the resulting noise might attract unwanted attention. Saving your game before attempting a lockpick is highly recommended.
To improve your success rate, begin with simpler locks. As your lockpicking skill progresses, you'll find the process becomes easier.
How to Acquire More Lockpicks
Lockpicks are relatively common in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. While merchants don't sell them, they can be acquired through looting fallen guards, soldiers, and bandits. Pickpocketing offers a non-confrontational alternative.
