Lockpick #1 (Kitchen)

You can find the first lockpick on the first floor. Head to the southwest corridor, past the Kitchen, and look for a set of drawers next to a lamp – the lockpick is right there.

Lockpick #2 (Armory)

Once you’ve entered the Armory and defeated one of Lady Dimitrescu’s daughters, check the table in the northwest corner to find a lockpick and some pipe bombs.

Lockpick #3 (Attic)

After you finish the bell puzzle in the Atelier, the painting will open, allowing you to climb the ladder to the Attic. Once you’re inside, go to the northeast corner to find a Lockpick on a wooden chest next to a lamp.

Locked Drawer #1 (Kitchen)

I found a locked drawer while exploring! It’s in the west corridor, up north from the Kitchen on the first floor. I used a Lockpick to open it, and inside was a Wooden Angel Statue. It’s worth 3,000 Lei if you sell it to the Duke, but honestly, it doesn’t do anything else, so selling it is the way to go!

Locked Drawer #2 (Bedchamber)

Leave the bedroom and head northeast into the Hall of the Four to find a locked chest. Inside, you’ll find four shotgun shells.

Locked Drawer #3 (Opera Hall)

From the Courtyard, go to the 2nd-floor Opera Hall. At the end of the hallway on the northeast side, you’ll find a locked chest with 6 Sniper Rifle Ammo inside.

Lockpick #1 (West Old Town Well)

After you leave Castle Dimitrescu and return to the Village, use the Iron Insignia Key on the gate by the house with the red chimney to obtain the Well Wheel. Then, head to the garden near the house in the eastern part of West Old Town, right before you reach the Workshop. You’ll find a Lockpick inside the well there.

Lockpick #2 (West Old Town Outhouse)

In the southern part of West Old Town, between East and West Old Town, there’s an outhouse. Inside, on the wooden seat, you’ll find a Lockpick.

Lockpick #3 (Garden)

Once you’ve finished exploring House Beneviento, go outside to the Garden. In the southern building, near the Beneviento Treasure, you’ll find a Lockpick on the windowsill.

Lockpick #4 (Waterwheel Weapon)

As you progress, you’ll be able to reach the south gate at the Village Altar. This opens up access to East Old Town. From there, you can circle around to the north to find a building with the Waterwheel Weapon inside. Use the Iron Insignia Key to enter, and you’ll find a Lockpick on a windowsill at the back of the room.

All Lockpick Locations in Heisenberg’s Factory (Resident Evil Village)

Lockpick #1 (MB3)

Once you reach B3 in Heisenberg’s Factory, take the ladder up from the elevator and enter the mines. Explore the mines until you find a bigger room with enemies. Inside this room, you’ll find a cabinet with a Lockpick on one of its shelves.

Lockpick #2 (MB4)

After the power comes back on at the Foundry, a button will appear that unlocks a door to the Operating Room, located to the east. When you go inside, check the shelf on the left – you’ll find a Lockpick there.

Locked Drawer #1 (South MB4)

Okay, so I was exploring MB4, specifically down in the Foundry, and I found a locked drawer right across from Heisenberg’s place. If you have a lockpick, definitely use it – I got three Magnum ammo rounds from inside! It’s a quick little find if you’re running low.

Locked Drawer #2 (North MB4)

Head northeast from the Foundry in MB4 to find a locked cabinet. You’ll need a lockpick to open it, and inside you’ll discover a Yellow Quartz.
