Seems a lot of people are having trouble with the lockpicking when using a controller.
Well, here’s the skinny.
Use your right joystick to find the right spot. This will be shown by your dot turning yellow.
Use your left joystick to turn the lock.
But wait! There’s more.
You need to actually rotate BOTH joysticks. The right one to keep the pin in place. The left one to rotate a full circle counterclockwise
But wait!! There’s even more.
You cannot go slow as with lower skill levels your hands will start shaking making it more difficult to hold position.
Also, at the beginning of the game, if you did not choose agility as your starting options, you may not be able to unlock the chest with the hammer in it. Instead, you’ll need to go back to your father to let him know, or beat the drunkard in a fight.
