Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide

If you've played the first game, brace yourself for some disappointing news: the lockpicking mini-game is back in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it's just as tricky as ever.

Here's how to lockpick:

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

It might sound straightforward, but maintaining the right stick on the golden circle is much tougher than it seems. You must keep the cursor hovering over the golden circle while holding L2, or else the lockpick will break, forcing you to start over.

To mitigate the frustration, save your game before attempting to pick a lock. If your lockpick breaks, you'll lose it and may attract nearby NPCs with the noise. It's a process that requires patience, but with practice, you'll get the hang of it. Start with easier locks and as your lockpicking skill improves, you'll find it easier to tackle more challenging ones.

How to Get More Lockpicks

Finding lockpicks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is relatively straightforward. While you can't purchase them from merchants, you can often loot them from guards, soldiers, and bandits. You don't necessarily need to engage in combat; picking their pockets can be an easier alternative.
