Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide

Veteran players of the first game will find the lockpicking mini-game familiar, though no less frustrating. Here's the breakdown:

1. Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
2. Interact: Approach a locked door or chest and interact with it.
3. Golden Circle: 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: Saving before attempting a lock is highly recommended. 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 improves with practice.
• Alternative Acquisition: If direct confrontation is undesirable, consider pickpocketing lockpicks from guards, soldiers, or bandits.

Obtaining More Lockpicks

Lockpicks aren't readily available for purchase. However, they are commonly found as loot from defeated or incapacitated enemies (guards, soldiers, bandits). Pickpocketing offers a less confrontational method of acquiring them.
