How To Pick Locks

From time to time,you’ll find locked chests scattered all around the world, in dungeons, bandit headquarters, in ruined fortresses, and many other places. This usually means that the treasures inside are well protected for a reason. To open these chests and get that precious loot,you must use a lockpick.

This involves a minigame where, once you interact with the locked chest, a closer view of the lock will pop up. You mustmove the pick around until you hear a distinctive, metallic clacking sound; once you do, press E until the lock gives in and opens up, revealing the riches inside.
