Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon lets players loose in a vast open world to find adventure and defeat strong foes and mythical beasts. Before you embark on this journey, it's always a good idea to stock up on essential resources and gear, to be ready for any danger the world throws at you. However, some of the best items are often stored inside locked chests and rooms that require lockpicking. So, here's how players can complete the lockpicking mini-game and also get more lockpicks in their inventory.
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon - How to Repair the Deck
Repairing the Deck is one of the many tasks players will find in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. Here's a full guide on how to complete it.
How to Lockpick Chests & Doors in Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon
The lockpicking mini-game in Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon is similar to the one present in the Dying Light series. So, players of Dying Light will quickly get familiar with the mechanic.
There are several locked chests and doors that players will encounter, and they'll need to complete the lockpicking mini-game to unlock them in Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon. To do this, first, you'll need to have multiple lockpicks in your inventory, as attempting the mini-game for the first time may break a few of them.
Once you're all set, start the lockpicking mini-game. There are two essential components to lockpicking: the lockpick, which can turn 180 degrees, and rotating the lock itself. Here's a breakdown of how lockpicking works.
- Set the lockpick in a direction and try to rotate the lock.
- Depending on how much the keyhole rotates, you'll need to adjust the lockpick to the left or right and try rotating again.
- You'll need to figure out the best position for the lockpick that lets the lock turn fully and complete the mini-game.
The difficulty of lockpicking ranges from easy to harder ones, depending on the level of the area or the chest, or the door you're trying to unlock. If you end up rotating a lock multiple times in the wrong position, the lockpick will break.
How to Get More Lockpicks
There are several ways players can get more lockpicks in Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon. One of the best methods is to craft your own lockpicks with Iron Ore on a grindstone table located in various areas of the world. One of them can be found in the Horns of the South castle, located on the marker shown above.
Another way to acquire lockpicks is to purchase them from a merchant. One of the merchants can be found just right of the entrance to the Horns of the South keep. If you don't have enough wealth (money), you can always defeat human enemies and raid their stashes to loot lockpicks.
