Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide

For those familiar with the original game, brace yourselves: the lockpicking mini-game is back in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it's just as challenging as before. Here's how to navigate this tricky mechanic:

• Ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory.
• Interact with a lock, whether it's on a door or a chest.
• Use the right stick to maneuver the cursor within the lock until it 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 until it unlocks.

It might sound straightforward, but maintaining the cursor on the golden circle is a delicate task. As you hold L2, you must continuously adjust the right stick to stay within the golden circle, or risk breaking the lockpick and having to start over.

To mitigate frustration, save your game before attempting to pick a lock. Remember, a broken lockpick not only means you lose it but also creates noise that could alert nearby NPCs.

Though the process can be daunting, persistence pays off. Start with easier locks to build your skills, and as your lockpicking proficiency increases, you'll find it easier to tackle more complex locks.

How to Get More Lockpicks

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, lockpicks are readily available, though you won't find them for sale at merchants. Instead, you can acquire them by looting guards, soldiers, and bandits. You don't necessarily need to engage in combat; pickpocketing can be a stealthier and safer option.

That's the rundown on using lockpicks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
