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 process:

1. Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
2. Interact: Approach a locked door or chest and interact with it.
3. Golden Circle: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it becomes a golden circle. This is crucial.
4. Precise Manipulation: 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: Save your game before attempting any lockpick to avoid repeated frustration.
• Consequences: A broken lockpick is lost, and the noise may attract unwanted attention.
• Practice Makes Perfect: Start with easier locks and gradually increase the difficulty as your skill improves.

How to Get More Lockpicks

Lockpicks aren't typically sold by merchants. However, they are frequently found as loot from fallen guards, soldiers, and bandits. Pickpocketing is a viable alternative to combat.
