Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide

For those familiar with the original game, brace yourselves: the lockpicking mini-game is back in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it's just as demanding as before. Here’s how to navigate this tricky mechanic:

1. Ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory. Without one, you won't be able to attempt lockpicking.
2. Interact with a lock. This could be a locked door or a chest.
3. Use the right stick to explore the lock until the cursor turns into a golden circle.
4. While keeping the cursor on the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock and unlock it.

It might sound straightforward, but maintaining the cursor on the golden circle is a delicate task. As you hold L2, you must continuously adjust the right stick to stay within the golden circle, or your lockpick will break, forcing you to start over.

To mitigate frustration, save your game before attempting to pick a lock. Remember, a broken lockpick not only means you lose it but also creates noise that might attract nearby NPCs.

Though challenging, persistence pays off. Start with easier locks to build your skills, and as your lockpicking proficiency grows, you'll find it easier to tackle more complex locks.

How to Get More Lockpicks

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, lockpicks are readily available, though you won't find them for sale at merchants. Instead, you can acquire them by:

• Looting: Search guards, soldiers, and bandits. You don't necessarily need to engage them in combat; pickpocketing can be a stealthier option.
