Lockpicking is one of the harder skills to train inKingdom Come: Deliverance 2because of multiple factors. While Henry can just pick up a sword and start a fight with a bandit by heading out of any random town, he can’t really lockpick chests and locked doors quite as easily.
For one, finding a locked chest that can be picked without someone stumbling uponthe crime in actionis not easy, and even if Henry does manage to find one, it has to be a very easy lock for him to have a chance. Thanks to the sparseness of locks of this nature and the constantly patrolling guards and NPCs, it’s very difficult to practice lockpicking in the game. Luckily, the developers have devised a dedicated tutorial section for players interested in this mechanic that can be used to power-level lockpicking in the very early game. However, it is a bit out of the way and easy to miss.
How to Farm Lockpicking XP Early in KCD 2
You can easily level up lockpicking very quickly inKingdom Come: Deliverance 2by enlisting the services ofthe Miller in Lower Semine, who provides Henry with a training chest made specifically for training the Lockpicking Skill. This is by far the easiest and most efficient way of gaining experience and practice with lockpicking in the early game. Here is how players can locate this chest and get the Miller’s approval to use it.
You canget the horse, Pebbles, for freefrom the Horse Trader in Semine along the way if you accept The Jaunt quest from Blacksmith Radovan.
You will need to start with at least one lockpick of your own to start this exercise. The miller only provides the chest, not the lockpicks.
Remember to talk to Hensel, the Miller’s Hired Hand, to gettraining for pickpocketingand takedowns as well.
From here on out, the main way to earn more lockpicking XP is to find actual locked chests under the cover of darkness and apply your lockpicking skills to them. The harder the lock difficulty, the bigger the XP gain.
