Lockpicking in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: A Sneaky Guide
Mastering stealth in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 requires finesse, especially when tackling the notoriously frustrating lockpicking mechanic. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to successfully picking locks.
Lockpicking Mechanics:
The lockpicking mini-game returns, and it's just as challenging as in the first game. Here's the process:
- Inventory Check: Ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory.
- Lock Interaction: Interact with the locked object (door, chest, etc.).
- Golden Circle Targeting: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it becomes a golden circle. This is crucial.
- Rotation and Precision: While maintaining the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock. Consistent precision is key; straying from the golden circle will break your lockpick.
Important Considerations:
- Save Often: Save your game before attempting to pick a lock. Breaking a lockpick means losing the pick and potentially attracting unwanted attention.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Start with simpler locks to hone your skills. Your lockpicking proficiency will improve with practice, making tougher locks more manageable.
- Stealthy Alternatives: If lockpicking proves too difficult, consider alternative methods like pickpocketing guards for keys.
Acquiring More Lockpicks:
Lockpicks aren't sold by merchants. Your best bet is to loot them from fallen enemies (guards, soldiers, bandits). Pickpocketing is a viable option if direct combat is undesirable.
