Anachronox Hints
I have Master Lock Pick, but I still run out of time on some locks!
1 of 4: Take another look at the interface.
2 of 4: There's a way to "cheat" in the mini-game.
3 of 4: Look on the lockpick device itself. See anything different?
4 of 4: Press the little button on the right-hand side, and your clock will reset to 10 seconds. You'll probably need to reset it several times during each lockpicking session, but you can repeat as needed. Also realize that you reset the clock to 10 seconds even if you had more time than that before, so it's probably a good idea not to reset a non-master lock too early.
