For veterans of the first game, prepare for a familiar frustration: the lockpicking minigame returns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and it's just as challenging as before.

Here's the lockpicking procedure:

1. Ensure you possess a lockpick: Check your inventory.
2. Interact with the lock: This could be a chest or door.
3. Use the right stick (or equivalent control): Carefully maneuver the cursor until it becomes a golden circle. This requires precision.
4. Maintain the golden circle: While holding the L2 button (or equivalent), constantly adjust the right stick to keep the cursor within the golden circle. This is crucial; straying from the circle will break your lockpick.
5. Rotate the lock: Continue holding L2 to rotate the lock mechanism until it unlocks.

This process is notoriously difficult. A broken lockpick means restarting and potentially attracting unwanted attention. Therefore:

• Save frequently: Save your game before attempting any lockpick.
• Start with easier locks: Your lockpicking skill will improve with practice.

Acquiring More Lockpicks

Lockpicks aren't typically sold by merchants. However, you can readily find them as loot from fallen enemies (guards, soldiers, bandits). Pickpocketing is a viable alternative to direct combat.
