Here's how to lockpick:

1. Inventory Check: Ensure you possess a lockpick.
2. Interact with the Lock: Approach a locked door or chest and initiate interaction.
3. Target the Golden Circle: Use the right stick to carefully maneuver the cursor until it aligns with the golden circle on the lock.

• Practice Makes Perfect: Start with simpler locks to hone your skills. Lockpicking proficiency will ease the difficulty of more complex locks.
