Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide

Returning from the first game, the lockpicking mini-game in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 remains...challenging.

Here's the lockpicking process:

1. Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
2. Target Acquisition: Interact with the lock (door or chest).
3. Precision is Key: Use the right stick to manipulate the lock until the cursor becomes a golden circle.
4. The Balancing Act: While maintaining the golden circle cursor with the right stick, hold L2 to rotate the lock. Unlocking requires constant, precise right stick control to stay within the golden circle. Failure results in a broken lockpick and a restart.

Important Considerations:

• Save Often: Save your game before attempting any lockpick to avoid frustration from repeated failures.
• Consequences of Failure: A broken lockpick is lost, and the noise may attract unwanted attention.
• Start Simple: Begin with easier locks to build skill and confidence. Lockpicking proficiency reduces the difficulty.

Obtaining More Lockpicks

Lockpicks aren't typically sold by merchants. However, they are readily acquired as loot from fallen guards, soldiers, and bandits. Pickpocketing offers a non-violent alternative.
