Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide

If you've played the first game, brace yourself for some déjà vu—the lockpicking mini-game is back in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it's just as challenging as before. Here’s how to tackle it:

First, ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory. Approach a locked door or chest and interact with the lock. Use the right stick to maneuver the cursor within the lock until it turns into a golden circle. While keeping the cursor on that golden circle with the right stick, hold down the L2 button to rotate the lock until it unlocks. Sounds straightforward, right? Wrong. Keeping the right stick precisely on the golden circle is a tricky feat. If you stray off even slightly while holding L2, your lockpick will snap, and you'll have to start over.

To avoid frustration, save your game just before attempting to pick a lock. Remember, if your lockpick breaks, not only do you lose it, but you'll also make noise that might draw the attention of nearby NPCs.

It's a steep learning curve, but perseverance pays off. Start with easier locks to build your skills, and as you improve, you'll find the process less daunting.

How to Get More Lockpicks

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, lockpicks are readily available, though not for purchase from merchants. Your best bet is to loot them from guards, soldiers, and bandits. You don't need to engage in combat; simply pickpocketing them can suffice if you're stealthy enough.
