Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide
If you've played the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance, brace yourself: the lockpicking mini-game is back in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and it's just as challenging as before.
Here's how to tackle lockpicking:
- Prepare Your Inventory: Ensure you have a lockpick ready in your inventory.
- Interact with the Lock: Approach a locked door or chest and interact with it.
- Navigate the Lock: Use the right stick to maneuver the cursor within the lock until it turns into a golden circle.
- Unlock the Mechanism: While keeping the cursor on the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock fully and unlock it.
It might sound straightforward, but maintaining the cursor on the golden circle is trickier than it seems. As you hold L2, you must continuously adjust the right stick to stay within the golden zone, or risk breaking your lockpick, which means starting over.
To mitigate frustration, save your game before attempting to pick a lock. Remember, a broken lockpick not only means you lose it but also creates noise that could alert nearby NPCs.
Persistence is key. Start with simpler locks to build your skills, and as your lockpicking proficiency grows, you'll find it easier to tackle more complex locks.
How to Get More Lockpicks
Acquiring lockpicks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is relatively straightforward. While you can't purchase them from merchants, you can often find them by looting guards, soldiers, or bandits. You don't necessarily need to engage in combat; pickpocketing can be a stealthier and safer option.
And there you have it—a complete guide on using lockpicks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
