Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide How to Get More Lockpicks

For veterans of the first game, be warned: the lockpicking minigame returns, and it's just as demanding.

Lockpicking Steps:

1. Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
2. Interact: Approach a locked door or chest and interact with it.
3. Golden Circle: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it becomes a golden circle. This is crucial.
4. Precise Rotation: While maintaining the golden circle with the right stick, hold L2 to rotate the lock. Success hinges on consistently keeping the cursor within the golden area. Stray, and the lockpick breaks, forcing a restart.

Important Considerations:

• Save Often: Before attempting any lockpick, save your game. A broken lockpick means lost progress and potential noise, attracting unwanted attention.
• Start Easy: Begin with simpler locks to build skill and confidence. Your lockpicking proficiency will improve with practice.
• Alternative Approach: If direct lockpicking proves too difficult, consider alternative methods like pickpocketing guards or bandits for lockpicks.

Acquiring More Lockpicks:

Lockpicks aren't typically sold by merchants. However, they are frequently found as loot from fallen guards, soldiers, and bandits. Pickpocketing offers a less confrontational route to acquiring them.
