Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide
If you've played the original *Kingdom Come: Deliverance*, you might be familiar with the lockpicking mini-game, which unfortunately returns in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. The mechanics remain as challenging as before, but here's how to tackle them:
- 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 transforms into a golden circle.
- While maintaining the cursor on the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock completely and unlock it.
This process might sound straightforward, but it's anything but easy. Keeping the cursor on the golden circle requires precision and patience. If you stray from the golden circle while holding L2, your lockpick will break, and you'll have to start over.
To mitigate frustration, save your game before attempting to pick a lock. Remember, breaking a lockpick not only means losing it but also making noise, which could alert nearby NPCs.
Although the lockpicking process can be daunting, persistence is key. Begin with simpler locks and as your skill improves, you'll find it easier to tackle more complex ones.
How to Get More Lockpicks
In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, lockpicks are readily available but not purchasable from merchants. Instead, you'll find them by looting guards, soldiers, and bandits. You don't need to engage them in combat; pickpocketing is a viable and often easier method to acquire lockpicks.
And that's your guide to using lockpicks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out resources like The Escapist.
