Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide

Veteran players of the first game will find the lockpicking mini-game familiar, and unfortunately, just as frustrating.

Here's the procedure:

1. Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
2. Interact: Approach a locked door or chest and initiate interaction.
3. Precision Targeting: Utilize the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it aligns with the golden circle.
4. Steady Hand: While maintaining the golden circle alignment with the right stick, press and hold the L2 button to rotate the lock. This requires precise, continuous control; straying from the golden circle will break your lockpick.

This process is deceptively difficult. A broken lockpick is lost, and the resulting noise may attract unwanted attention. Saving your game beforehand is strongly advised.

Practice makes perfect. Begin with simpler locks to hone your skills. As your lockpicking proficiency increases, the challenge will diminish.

How to Acquire More Lockpicks

Lockpicks aren't readily available for purchase. However, they are frequently found as loot from fallen guards, soldiers, and bandits. Pickpocketing offers a less confrontational alternative.
