Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide

If you've played the first game, you're familiar with the lockpicking mini-game, and unfortunately, it's back in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* with the same level of difficulty. Here's how to tackle lockpicking:

• 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 turns into 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.

Sounds straightforward, right? But here's the catch: maintaining the right stick on the golden circle is incredibly challenging. As you hold L2, you must continuously adjust the right stick to stay within the golden circle, or else your lockpick will break, and you'll need to start over.

To mitigate this frustration, save your game just before attempting to pick a lock. Remember, if your lockpick breaks, not only will you lose it, but the noise might also draw the attention of nearby NPCs.

It can be a frustrating process, but persistence is key. Start with easier locks to build up your skill, and you'll find it becomes more manageable as you progress.

How to Get More Lockpicks

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, lockpicks are relatively easy to come by, although you can't purchase them directly from merchants. Instead, you can often find them by looting guards, soldiers, and bandits. You don't necessarily need to engage in combat; pickpocketing can be a stealthier and safer option.

And that's the rundown on how to master lockpicking in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and insights on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
