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:
- Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
- Interact: Approach a locked door or chest and interact with it.
- Golden Circle: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it becomes a golden circle. This is crucial.
- 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: Save your game before attempting a lockpick to avoid frustration from broken lockpicks and restarts.
- Noise and NPCs: A broken lockpick creates noise, potentially attracting nearby NPCs.
- Skill Progression: Start with simpler locks. Your lockpicking skill improves with practice, making tougher locks more manageable.
Acquiring More Lockpicks
Lockpicks aren't typically sold by merchants. However, they are readily available as loot:
- Enemy Looting: Search fallen guards, soldiers, and bandits.
- Pickpocketing: For a stealthier approach, try pickpocketing these enemies.
Mastering lockpicking in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 takes practice and patience. Remember to save frequently and start with easier locks to build your skill. For more Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 tips and strategies, check out The Escapist.
