Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide

For veterans of the first game, prepare for a familiar challenge: the lockpicking minigame returns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and it's just as challenging as before.

Here's the process:

1. Ensure you possess a lockpick: Check your inventory.
2. Interact with the lock: Approach a locked door or chest and initiate the interaction.
3. Navigate the lock: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it becomes a golden circle. Precision is key!
4. Unlock the mechanism: While maintaining the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock.

The difficulty lies in consistently keeping the cursor within the golden circle while rotating the lock. Failing to do so will break your lockpick, forcing a restart. This also creates noise, potentially alerting nearby NPCs.

Pro-Tip: Save your game before attempting any lockpicking to avoid frustration.

Start with simpler locks to hone your skills. As your lockpicking proficiency increases, the process will become significantly easier.

How to Acquire More Lockpicks

Lockpicks aren't typically sold by merchants. However, they are frequently found as loot from fallen guards, soldiers, and bandits. Consider pickpocketing them if direct combat is undesirable.
