Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide

Veterans of the first game will find the lockpicking mini-game familiar, and unfortunately, just as frustrating. Here's the breakdown:

1. Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
2. Interact: Approach a lock (door or chest) and interact with it.
3. Precision is Key: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor. Your goal is to maintain the cursor within the golden circle.
4. Rotate and Hold: While keeping the cursor in the golden circle using the right stick, press and hold the L2 button to rotate the lock. Success unlocks the mechanism.

The challenge lies in the precision required. Maintaining the cursor within the golden circle while simultaneously rotating the lock with L2 is significantly more difficult than it sounds. Failing to do so will break your lockpick, forcing a restart and potentially attracting unwanted attention.

Pro-Tip: Save your game before attempting to pick any lock. A broken lockpick is lost, and your actions may alert nearby NPCs.

Practice makes perfect. Start with simpler locks to hone your skills. As your lockpicking proficiency increases, the process will become smoother.

Obtaining More Lockpicks

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