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:

1. Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
2. Interact: Approach a locked door or chest and interact with it.
3. Golden Circle: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it becomes a golden circle. This is crucial.
4. Precision and Patience: While maintaining the golden circle with the right stick, hold down the L2 button to rotate the lock. This requires steady hands and precise control; straying from the golden circle will break your lockpick.

Important Considerations:

• Save Often: Save your game before attempting to pick a lock. A broken lockpick means a lost tool and potential noise that could attract unwanted attention.
• Start Simple: Begin with easier locks to hone your skills. Your lockpicking proficiency will improve with practice, making tougher locks more manageable.

Lockpicks aren't typically sold by merchants. Your best bet is to loot them from fallen enemies (guards, soldiers, bandits). Pickpocketing is a viable, and often safer, alternative to direct combat.
