Lockpicks are essential for unlocking chests and doors in Avowed, but they can be scarce in the early stages of the game. Fortunately, there are several ways to get your hands on lockpicks as you progress through the game. Here's how to find and stock up on lockpicks for your journey:
Where to Find Lockpicks:
Buy from Traders
Lockpicks can be found for sale at most traders. These traders may sell a variety of items like weapons, armor, food, and magic gear, but lockpicks are often included in their inventory. Check with any trader you come across and buy lockpicks as soon as you see them.
Loot Chests
While not guaranteed, you may occasionally find lockpicks inside chests while exploring. These can be hidden in various areas, so make sure to search thoroughly.
Defeat Enemies
Some enemies drop lockpicks upon defeat, especially specific groups of enemies like those in Paradis City. Make sure to loot the bodies of defeated enemies to see if you get lucky with some lockpicks.
How to Use Lockpicks:
Open Locked Chests and Doors
Lockpicks are mainly used to open locked chests and doors. Some chests are specifically locked and require lockpicks to open, while for doors, you might have the option of using a key if you find one.
If you can't find a key, use lockpicks to unlock doors and chests. They are invaluable when exploring areas that contain hidden loot or important items.
Important Notes:
Lockpicks have no weight in your inventory, so carry as many as you can without worrying about inventory space.
It's a good idea to stock up on lockpicks, especially as the game progresses and you'll encounter more locked chests and doors.
Now you're ready to start unlocking all those hard-to-reach treasures in Avowed! Safe travels friends.
