Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide

For veterans of the first game, brace yourselves: the lockpicking minigame returns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and it's just as challenging as before.

Here's the lockpicking process:

1. Inventory Check: Ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory.
2. Interact: Approach a locked door or chest and interact with it.
3. Target the Sweet Spot: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it becomes a golden circle. This is crucial.
4. Precision and Patience: While maintaining the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock. This requires steady control; straying from the golden circle will break your lockpick.

Important Considerations:

• Save Often: Saving before attempting a lockpick is highly recommended. A broken lockpick means losing the tool and potentially attracting unwanted attention.
• Start Simple: Begin with easier locks to build your skill and confidence. As your lockpicking proficiency increases, the process becomes significantly easier.
• Alternative Acquisition: You can't purchase lockpicks from merchants, but they are frequently found as loot from fallen enemies (guards, soldiers, bandits). Pickpocketing is a viable, less confrontational option.

How to Acquire More Lockpicks

Lockpicks are readily available as loot in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. While merchants don't sell them, they're a common drop from defeated or incapacitated enemies. Pickpocketing provides a stealthy alternative to combat.
