While making a habit of it could get you in serious trouble, you will occasionally need to use lockpicks to accomplish your goals inKingdom Come: Deliverance. Every failed lockpicking attempt will break your tools, and you won’t be able to find them at your average trader in major cities.
There are others in Bohemia who are passionate about shady activities. Once you’ve earned their trust through an early mission, you can purchase lockpicks from them. Otherwise, you’ll have to rely on finding these thieves' tools on defeated bandits and, occasionally, in random chests that you stumble upon.
Where To Get Lockpicks
Depending on where you are in the game, there are different places to get lockpicks. A good place in the prologue is to wait until you get to Talmberg, where you canpurchase them from the mini-traderthat is always located there.
Be warned thathe will not replenishhis stock of lockpicks.
Once you finish the prologue and end up in Rattay, you will meetMiller Pasheknorthwest of the city immediately after the prologue, and get a bed in his rafters. He will ask you tohelp him with a series of missionsstarting with a shady grave-digging that gives way to a network of millers that will act as a fence for stolen goods, and they can sell you thieves' tools.
You can also find lockpicks of varying qualities on the bandits you encounter on the roads.
Once you’ve unlocked the millers' secret shops,select ‘Sell the stolen goods.‘to access the shop. There are two other millers you’ll meet during Pashek’s quest, but they include:
Lockpicking
Miller Woyzeck
At the mill along the river east out of Rattay and then north.
At the mill directly east of the main monastery building.
Stealth
While the other two can sell you specific maps and other items,Miller Pashek is your best betfor a recurring supply of lockpicks due to his mill having its own fast travel point.
How To Lockpick
Once you get the lockpicks you need, you’ll have to master the mini-game and improve your skills if you want to try harder locks. The mini-game itself is simple, as all you need to do ismove the reticle until it growsand turns yellow, then youturn the lockwith the associated button while following along on the sweet spot.
Failing a lockpicking attempt will break your lockpick every time.
When you unlock the thieving training through Miller Pashek, you canask him to train you in the Lockpickingskill. He alsosells a book to help you become more proficient, in addition to other tomes in Bohemia.
