Lockpicking can also be accomplished by Open Lock spells, based on Alteration. The Skeleton Key also increases the security skill by 40 points, increasing the chance of a successful pick. With the Skeleton Key, the player can repeatedly hit auto-attempt without running out of lockpicks. The reward given is the Skeleton Key, which is an unbreakable lockpick.
One of the best techniques for lockpicking is to complete the quest given at the Shrine of Nocturnal. This will also raise the Security skill faster. If the player has a large quantity of lockpicks one can repeatedly hit auto-attempt until the lock opens. However, auto-attempt is a chance so it is possible to unlock the lock on the first try.Ī technique for auto-attempt is to have as many lockpicks as possible.
If your security level is low (relative to the lock difficulty), picks will break more often. Simply continue pressing Auto-Attempt until the lock successfully opens. The lock either opens or the pick breaks. Unfortunately, this practice does not work in game.Īuto-attempt is a chance game of unlocking the lock depending on the difficulty level of the lock and the Security skill. (Having a torch equipped when you approach the lock to pick it.) Heating the lock is supposed to make all the pins fall at a uniform rate.
The in-game book Advances in Lockpicking recommends holding a torch close to the lock while picking it. In these two cases it comes down to preferences of the player. This will give the most time to set the tumbler.Īnother technique is to recognize the pattern for when the tumbler rises and falls at its fastest rate. One technique is to recognize the pattern of when the tumbler rises slow and falls slow. If a pattern is recognized, one can easily set the tumbler when it reaches the top of the lock. While lockpicking, a pattern will develop with the tumblers rising and falling. The easiest way to combat this is to acquire the Skeleton Key. It is important to note that the speed the pin slides at varies for each push, and can be quite tough to time correctly when it moves quickly, regardless of security level. Once all the tumblers are set, the lock will open. Skill level will determine how many additional tumblers will drop if a pick is broken. When the sound is heard set the tumbler. If the timing is not correct, the pick will break and the tumbler will fall. When the tumbler is pushed up a slight "tink" sound will be heard once it reaches the top of the lock. While moving the tumbler in place the character must "set" the tumbler in place when it reaches the top of the lock. Moving the tumbler up will result in attempting to place the tumbler. Moving the pick left or right will select what tumbler the player will work on.
