Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide

If you've played the first game, brace yourself for some déjà vu: the lockpicking mini-game returns in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it's just as challenging as before. Here's your step-by-step guide to mastering lockpicking:

First, ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory. Approach a locked door or chest and interact with the lock. Use your right stick to navigate the lock until the cursor becomes a golden circle. While maintaining the cursor on the golden circle with the right stick, press and hold the L2 button to rotate the lock until it unlocks. Sounds straightforward, right? But here's the catch: keeping 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 zone, or your lockpick will snap, and you'll have to start over.

To mitigate 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, which could draw unwanted attention from nearby NPCs.

It's a tedious process, but persistence pays off. Start with simpler locks to hone your skills. As your lockpicking proficiency improves, tackling tougher locks will become easier.

How to Get More Lockpicks

Acquiring lockpicks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is relatively straightforward. While you can't purchase them from merchants, you can often find them by looting guards, soldiers, and bandits. You don't necessarily need to engage in combat; pickpocketing is a stealthy alternative if you're looking to avoid confrontation.
