Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpicking

For veterans of the first game, brace yourselves: the lockpicking mini-game returns, and it's just as challenging as before. Here's the breakdown:

  1. Inventory Check: Ensure you have 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 turns golden.
  4. Rotate and Hold: While maintaining the golden cursor with the right stick, hold L2 to rotate the lock. Unlocking requires precise control; straying from the golden circle will break your lockpick.

This sounds simple enough, but maintaining that golden cursor is incredibly difficult. A broken lockpick means restarting the process and potentially alerting nearby NPCs. Therefore, it's highly recommended to save your game before attempting any lockpicking. Lost lockpicks also mean added noise, attracting unwanted attention.

Practice makes perfect! Start with easier locks to build your skill and confidence. As your lockpicking proficiency increases, you'll find it easier to open tougher locks.

How to Get More Lockpicks

Finding lockpicks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 isn't difficult. While you can't purchase them from merchants, they're frequently found as loot on fallen guards, soldiers, and bandits. You don't necessarily need to fight them; pickpocketing is a viable alternative.
