Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide

For those who are familiar with the original game, you might be disappointed to learn that the lockpicking mini-game returns in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it remains as challenging as ever.

To successfully lockpick:

1. Ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory.
2. Interact with a locked door or chest.
3. Use the right stick to navigate the lock until the cursor becomes a golden circle.
4. While keeping the cursor on the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock until it unlocks.

Although the process might seem straightforward, maintaining the cursor on the golden circle can be quite tricky. While holding 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. If your lockpick breaks, not only will you lose it, but you might also attract unwanted attention from nearby NPCs due to the noise.

It's a challenging process, but perseverance pays off. Start with easier locks to build your skills, and as you improve, you'll find it easier to tackle more complex locks.

How to Get More Lockpicks

Acquiring lockpicks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is relatively straightforward. While you can't purchase them from merchants, you can often find them by looting guards, soldiers, or bandits. You don't need to engage them in combat; pickpocketing is a viable alternative if that suits your style better.

That's your guide to using lockpicks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
