Mastering Lockpicking in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

A guide to improving your Thievery skill, navigating the lockpicking minigame, and finding essential lockpicks in Warhorse Studios' latest RPG.

Lockpicking in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 involves a challenging minigame requiring players to find the correct starting position and maintain cursor precision while rotating the lock.
Locks have five difficulty levels—Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard, and Very Hard—each requiring progressively higher Thievery skill to attempt and succeed.
Players can enhance their lockpicking ability by unlocking perks like 'Mischief Artist' and 'Locksmith,' or by using Quickfinger potions for temporary skill boosts.
Lockpicks can be acquired from vendors, bird nests, and specific locations like the barn at Lower Semine Mill, with some respawning over time for consistent supply.
Noise during lockpicking can alert nearby NPCs, but perks like 'Silent Fiddler' reduce the sound of failed attempts, making stealth essential for success.
