Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide
For those familiar with the original game, brace yourselves: the lockpicking mini-game is back in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and it's just as tough as before. Here's how to navigate this tricky mechanic:
- Prepare Your Inventory: Ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory before you begin.
- Engage with the Lock: Approach a locked door or chest and interact with it.
- Navigate the Lock: Use the right stick to maneuver within the lock until the cursor transforms into a golden circle.
- Unlocking the Lock: While keeping the cursor on the golden circle with the right stick, press and hold the L2 button to rotate the lock fully and unlock it.
Sounds straightforward, right? Think again. Maintaining the cursor on that golden sweet spot is a real challenge. You must keep the right stick steady on the golden circle while holding L2, or your lockpick will snap, and you'll have to start over.
To mitigate frustration, I strongly suggest saving your game just before you attempt to pick a lock. Remember, a broken lockpick not only means you lose it but also creates noise that could alert nearby NPCs, drawing unwanted attention.
Persistence is key. Start with easier locks to build your skills. As your lockpicking prowess grows, you'll find tackling these locks becomes less daunting.
How to Get More Lockpicks
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, lockpicks are readily available, though you won't find them for sale at merchants. Instead, your best bet is to loot them from guards, soldiers, and bandits. You don't necessarily need to engage in combat; pickpocketing can be a stealthier and safer option.
And that's your guide to using lockpicks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and insights on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
