Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide
For those who have played the first game, brace yourselves: the lockpicking mini-game returns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and it's just as challenging as before.
Here's how to lockpick:
- Ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory.
- Interact with a lock. This could be a locked door or a chest.
- Use the right stick to explore the lock until the cursor turns into a golden circle.
- While keeping the cursor on the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock and unlock it.
It sounds straightforward, but maintaining the cursor on the golden circle is trickier than it seems. While holding L2, you must continuously hover over the golden circle with the right stick, or the lockpick will break, forcing you to start over.
To mitigate frustration, save your game before attempting to pick a lock. If your lockpick breaks, not only will you lose it, but you'll also make noise that might attract nearby NPCs.
It's a challenging process, but persistence pays off. Start with easier locks to build your skills. As your lockpicking proficiency improves, tackling tougher locks will become less daunting.
How to Get More Lockpicks
Lockpicks are relatively easy to come by in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. 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 can be a safer and more discreet method.
And that's your guide to using lockpicks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
