In the Kingdom Come: Deliverance side quest 'If all else fails, you have to help Hermann, the Executioner, to expose his rival. As part of this task, you have to dull the hangman's sword, ideally at night.
However, the hangman always wakes up when I open his chest, regardless of whether I use his keys or a lockpick or he sleeps in another tent. By the way, I have a high lockpicking and stealth and games on the Xbox One.
I think I've lured him by noises behind the tent, if I'm still right in the head. Am then sneaked around and have his stuff manipulated / stolen sword to ruin a grindstone and then put it back again.
In addition, you make less noise when you creep really slowly and carefully - and of course wearing appropriate clothes (dark cloth clothing).
