Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide

For those who have already experienced the original game, brace yourselves—the lockpicking mini-game is back in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it's as challenging as ever. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you unlock doors and chests:

1. Ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory.
2. Interact with a lock on a door or chest.
3. Use the right stick to explore the lock until the cursor turns into a golden circle.
4. While keeping the cursor on the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock until it unlocks.

Sounds straightforward, right? Well, the trick lies in maintaining that golden circle with the right stick. It's a delicate balance, and if you stray even slightly, the lockpick will break, and you'll have to start all over again. To make matters worse, a broken lockpick not only means you've lost it but also that you might attract unwanted attention from nearby NPCs due to the noise.

To mitigate the frustration, I recommend saving your game just before attempting to pick a lock. Start with easier locks to build your confidence and skill. As you improve, tackling tougher locks will become less daunting.

How to Get More Lockpicks

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, lockpicks are surprisingly easy to come by. You won't find them for sale at merchants, but you can often loot them from guards, soldiers, and bandits. If combat isn't your style, you can also try your luck at pickpocketing them. This method can be less risky and more rewarding if you're skilled at it.
