There are many locked containers in RES 8 but you need a lockpick to open them. This Resident Evil 8 Village Lockpick Locations Guide will give you the locations of each of the lockpicks we have discovered on our adventures through the game as unlike other games, the lockpicks are a single use – meaning they are destroyed after you use it.
We’ve compiled a list of the locations below with further details also available. If you just want a general location, check out the list of lockpick locations. For more detailed information, including screenshots of the location, check the full guide further down. It’s worth noting, this list is not exhaustive. We’ve likely missed one or two and haven’t reached the others yet. We do have two editors working through the game so expect updates as we progress.
Lockpick Location #1 – In the Hall next to the Kitchen in Castle Dimitrescu. After you defeat one of the sisters.
Lockpick Location #2 – In the Armory on the table, when one of the sisters is chasing you
Lockpick Location #3 – In the Attic after you find the Mask of Joy
Lockpick Location #4 – In the well behind the house in West Old Town
Lockpick Location #5 – In the Garden, after you defeat the doll boss, in a small house
Lockpick Location #6 – In the building with the grenade launcher on the windowsill
Lockpick Location #7 – At the bottom of a well North of the Mountain Stream
Lockpick Location #8 – Inside an underground part of Heisenberg’s Factory
Can be found in the Armory on the 2nd floor. When you first arrive here, one of the sisters is chasing you, so you’ll need to be quick. You will need Dimitrescu’s Key to reach this area
After you find the Mask of Joy and solve the five bells puzzle, you will find yourself in the Attic. Check the corner of the room. There’s a zombie on the floor that will attack as you approach. Then grab the lockpick.
You can find a Lockpick in the Well that can be found behind the West Old Town house in the village. This is after you return from the castle. You need to find the Well Wheel to be able to use the wells.
In the bottom of this well. When you use the well it doesn’t bring up a bucket, it brings up a ladder. Descend to the bottom and search the green water right at the foot of the ladder to find this lockpick.

Blaine "Captain Camper" Smith is one of the original founders of Gamers Heroes. Now operating under the guise of Editor-in-Chief (purely because we felt the position was needed for public relations purposes), he's tasked with a lot of the kind of jobs that would put you to sleep at your desk.
When he's not catching some Zs, you'll likely find him arguing points he knows nothing about, playing the latest rogue-like he'll never complete, or breaking something on the website that never needed fixing.
You can best reach him on Twitter
