Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide
For those who've played the original, I've got some bad news: the lockpicking mini-game is back in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it's just as challenging as before. Here’s how to tackle it:
- Ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory.
- Interact with a lock, whether it's on a door or a chest.
- Use the right stick to navigate the lock until the cursor becomes a golden circle.
- While keeping the cursor on the golden circle with the right stick, hold down the L2 button to rotate the lock and unlock it.
Sounds straightforward, right? But here's the catch: maintaining the right stick on the golden circle is tougher than it looks. You must keep the cursor hovering over the golden circle while holding L2, or your lockpick will snap, and you'll have to start over.
To mitigate this frustration, save your game just before attempting to pick a lock. Remember, if your lockpick breaks, not only will you lose it, but you'll also make noise that could draw unwanted attention from nearby NPCs.
It's a challenging process, but persistence pays off. Start with easier locks, and as your lockpicking skill improves, you'll find it easier to crack those tougher ones.
How to Get More Lockpicks
In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, lockpicks are relatively easy to come by, though you can't purchase them from merchants. Instead, you'll find them by looting guards, soldiers, and bandits. You don't need to fight them; pickpocketing is a viable option if you prefer a stealthier approach.
That's the rundown on using lockpicks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
