Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide

Veterans of the first game will find the lockpicking mini-game familiar, and unfortunately, just as challenging. Here's the process:

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

Important Considerations:

• Save Often: Before attempting any lockpick, save your game. A broken lockpick means lost progress and potential noise, attracting unwanted attention.
• Start Simple: Begin with easier locks to build skill and confidence. Your lockpicking proficiency will improve with practice, making tougher locks more manageable.
• Alternative Acquisition: While merchants don't sell lockpicks, they can be looted from fallen enemies (guards, soldiers, bandits) or even pickpocketed for a non-violent approach.

Obtaining More Lockpicks

Lockpicks aren't readily available for purchase. Your best bet is to acquire them through looting fallen enemies or skillfully pickpocketing them. This eliminates the need for direct confrontation.
