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 process:

1. Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
2. Interact: Approach a locked door or chest and interact with it.
3. Precision is Key: Use the right stick to maneuver the cursor until it becomes a golden circle. Maintaining this golden circle is crucial.
4. Rotate and Hold: While keeping the cursor golden with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock. Unlocking requires precise control and constant adjustment.

The challenge lies in consistently maintaining the golden circle; even slight deviations will break your lockpick, forcing a restart. This process is notoriously difficult.

Recommendations:

• Save Often: Save your game before each attempt to mitigate frustration.
• Broken Lockpicks: A broken lockpick is lost, and creates noise, potentially attracting NPCs.
• Start Simple: Begin with easier locks to build skill and confidence. Your lockpicking proficiency improves with practice.

How to Obtain 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 offers a less confrontational alternative.
