Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Finigans magic lockpicks..

I can't find his lockpicks and when i went there before i got the quest even then there were no lockpicks the only lockpicks i found in the building were in a small room and the lockpicks were hidden in a pillow

Can anyone help me out, i need to complete the quest

They should be in the main room, in one of the drawers in a table.

In a game started before the patch was installed the magic lockpicks are breakable if they are in the inventory when the Lockpick skill is used or if they are dropped on the ground. In the former case, installing the patch will put them back in the town watch building, to be re-stolen. Some re-release versions of the game may already be updated to the latest 1.0034A version, as shown in the bottom right corner of the main menu, so would not need to be patched.


If they are not there, you can get replacement lockpicks by using the procedure in the Lost Items topic. Ignore the first reference to Finnigan's magic lockpicks, which links to another topic; since the latest patch the inventory swap is the best way to restore them.


Did you install the patch before starting your current game? If so, you can return the magic lockpicks to complete the quest, and then buy them back from Finnigan. If you started the game before installing the patch, it would be better to keep the lockpicks, since you can not buy them back.

Yes, thanks, it was indeed inside the table.
But when i played earlier in previous patch it was on the table, i knew it was fixed in latest patch but i dint think they would be on a different place, definatly not in another room..

Thats why i was confused, thanks again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

The lockpicks should be in the table regardless of the patch.

Nope, in the patch i used to play they were on the table in his office.

The key to the evidence room is on the table (or was it the desk?) in his office, but the magic lockpicks were always in the table in the main room. My first game I played in the original English version until these lockpicks broke, then installed the 1.32 hotfix to get them back.

That has always been my experience too.

Weird, i can clearly remember seeing them in his chamber on the desk with the chair
