Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide
Veteran players of the first game will find the lockpicking mini-game familiar, and unfortunately, just as challenging. Here's the breakdown:
- Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
- Interact with the Lock: Approach a locked door or chest and initiate the interaction.
- The Golden Circle: Utilize the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor. Your goal is to maintain the cursor within the golden circle.
- Precision and Patience: While keeping the cursor in the golden circle using 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: Before attempting to pick any lock, save your game. A broken lockpick means lost progress and potential noise, attracting unwanted attention.
- Start Simple: Begin with easier locks to hone your skills. As your lockpicking proficiency increases, the challenge diminishes.
- Silent Approach: Consider pickpocketing guards or bandits for lockpicks instead of engaging in combat.
Acquiring More Lockpicks
While lockpicks aren't available for purchase from merchants, they are readily obtainable through looting. Guards, soldiers, and bandits frequently carry them. Pickpocketing is a viable, silent alternative to combat.
