Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide
Veterans of the first game will find the lockpicking mini-game familiar, and unfortunately, just as frustrating. Here's the breakdown:
- Inventory Check: Ensure you have a lockpick.
- Interact: Approach a lock (door or chest) and interact with it.
- Golden Circle: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it becomes a golden circle. This is crucial.
- Precision and Patience: While maintaining the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock. This requires steady control; straying from the golden circle will break your lockpick.
Important Considerations:
- Save Often: Save your game before attempting any lockpick to avoid losing progress and lockpicks.
- Noise Factor: A broken lockpick creates noise, potentially attracting nearby NPCs.
- Skill Matters: Lockpicking skill improves your success rate. Start with simpler locks to build proficiency.
How to Get More Lockpicks
While lockpicks aren't sold by merchants, they are readily available as loot. You can find them on fallen guards, soldiers, and bandits. Pickpocketing is a viable, quieter alternative to direct combat.
