Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide

If you've played the first game, you might be disappointed to learn that the lockpicking mini-game returns in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it's just as challenging as before. Here's how to tackle it:

• 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 navigate the lock until the cursor becomes 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 trickier than it seems. As you hold L2, you must continuously adjust the right stick to stay within the golden circle, or your lockpick will break, and you'll have 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 attract nearby NPCs.

It's a challenging process, but persistence pays off. Start with easier locks to build your skills, and as your lockpicking proficiency improves, you'll find it easier to open more complex locks.

How to Get More Lockpicks

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, lockpicks are readily available, though you can't purchase them from merchants. Instead, you'll often find them by looting guards, soldiers, and bandits. You don't necessarily need to fight them; pickpocketing can be a stealthier and safer option.

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