Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide
Veteran players of the first game will find the lockpicking mini-game familiar, unfortunately, it retains its challenging nature. Here's the process:
- Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
- Lock Interaction: Interact with the target lock (door or chest).
- Precision Targeting: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it aligns with the golden circle.
- Rotation and Patience: While maintaining the cursor within the golden circle using the right stick, hold the L2 button to initiate the lock rotation. This requires steady precision; straying from the golden circle will break your lockpick.
This process demands patience and a steady hand. A broken lockpick results in its loss and potentially alerts nearby NPCs. Saving your game before attempting a lockpick is highly recommended. Start with simpler locks to hone your skill and gradually tackle more complex ones as your proficiency increases.
