Mastering the art of stealth in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* isn't a walk in the park, especially when grappling with the game's notoriously tricky mechanics. This guide breaks down the process of lockpicking.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Lockpicking Guide
For veterans of the first game, brace yourselves: the lockpicking mini-game returns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and it's just as challenging as before.
Here's the breakdown:
- Inventory Check: Ensure you have a lockpick.
- Interact: Approach a locked door or chest and interact with it.
- Golden Circle: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it turns golden.
- Precision and Patience: While maintaining the golden cursor with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock. This requires steady control; straying from the golden circle breaks the lockpick.
- Save Often: Before attempting any lockpick, save your game. A broken lockpick means losing the tool and potentially alerting nearby NPCs.
This process demands patience and practice. Start with simpler locks to hone your skills. Your lockpicking proficiency will improve with experience, making tougher locks more manageable.
How to Get More Lockpicks
