The Locking Mechanism, or Gear Lock, are three types of locking devices manufactured by the Mechanist Cid Capezza that functions as an advanced door lock that cannot be picked.[1] The "key" to this device is a thin gear that slides into the bottom of the lock. Once used, the gear cannot be removed, either as a disastrous oversight on the part of Capezza, or simply a gameplay mechanic, on the idea that a player would not want to lock a door they just opened.
The three types of locking mechanism, distinguishable by their gears, are:
- the more common Generic Metal Gear Lock having dusky gray gears;
- the Bronze Gear Lock having well polished brown gears; and
- the Silver Gear Lock having well polished gray gears.
Each is unlocked only by their corresponding gear type and when the wrong type of gear is inserted into the locking mechanism nothing happens.[1]
Appearances[]
It has been installed in the recording studio of T. M. Blackheart and in several locations of the Truart Estate.[2][3] No locks of these kind can be found on Markham's Isle, Angelwatch, or in Soulforge Cathedral.
Notes[]
- Garrett can only have one of each gear in his inventory at a time; additional gears will disappear when taken.
