How to pick hard and very hard locks in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Hard and Very Hard Locks can prove to be stern tests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as they are significantly more challenging to pick. It's very easy to distinguish between the types of locks when you're about to crack one open. If you get the "This lock is too difficult" message, you're on to the correct one (in the context of this guide). However, these locks are just harder to crack, not impossible, but you'll have to take some extra steps to complete the process. How to pick hard locks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Cracking open a lock on doors and chests depends on your Thievery skill. The locks are of five types: Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard, and Very Hard. The first two types of locks are straightforward to pick, and you can attempt opening them at any given time. To crack Medium, Hard, and Very Hard locks, here are general Thievery requirements you'll need. Medium: Thievery 7 Hard: Thievery 14 Very Hard: Thievery 19 To pick the Hard and Very Hard locks, you'll have to buff your Thievery Skill. A sustainable and effective way to do so is by spending time with Blacksmith Radovan. As you spend more time smithing with him, your Craftsmanship Skill will improve, and eventually unlock the Locksmith Perk. This Perk will offer +3 Thievery at all times for all types of locks. Image via Destructoid The Mischief Artist Perk might not be as effective, but it will provide a +3 bonus to both Thievery and Stealth for 120 seconds after picking a lock or pickpocketing an individual. If you're yet to unlock the two perks, you can always rely on your Alchemy recipes. The Quickfinger potion temporarily improves your Thievery skill, and you can prepare it from the Alchemy bench. Collect 2x Eyebright, 2x Valerian, and 1x Cobweb. Pour water into the cauldron, and add Cobweb along with Eyebright. Boil the items for 3 turns. Add Valerian to the cauldron. Boil for 1 turn. Your Quickfinger potion will be ready if you complete all the steps. It will increase Thievery (and Craftsmanship) by 2(10 minutes)/4(20 minutes)/6(40 minutes) based on whether it's Weak/Normal/Strong potion. Lockpicking isn't the only important activity to complete in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. If you're looking to make more resources, check out this guide. Additionally, potions can not only help you to open the Hard and Very Hard locks, but you cal also cure Drunkenness and Hangovers with their help.
