Securing the best ending in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* requires completing specific tasks, and rescuing Sam is crucial. This guide details how to find and save Sam during the "Reckoning" quest.
Rescuing Sam During “Reckoning”
Near the end of the main questline, you discover Sam is held captive at Praguer’s Camp, captured by Brabant. The "Reckoning" quest presents the opportunity to save him. You can infiltrate the camp stealthily or opt for a more direct approach.
To blend in, acquire a guard's outfit. You can either stealthily kill a guard and take his clothes, or locate one in the numerous chests scattered throughout the camp. Once equipped, you can explore the camp undetected.
Sam is located in a barn to the left of the camp, beyond the central cooking fire. Use the ladder on the barn's side to enter and confront Brabant. Here, you face several impactful choices: you can kill or spare Brabant. Sparing him contributes to the best ending.
When to Rescue Sam
After freeing Sam, don't immediately leave the camp. Sam will inform you about von Aulitz, also within the camp. It's advisable to deal with von Aulitz first, then find a horse, and finally return for Sam. This order simplifies the process, as you'll need to carry Sam to the horse.
Von Aulitz is in the main camp area. Wearing a guard's outfit allows you to enter his quarters without raising suspicion. You'll find him near death. You can choose to grant him a dignified death (the most honorable choice), kill him, or leave him to die. Leaving him to die contributes to the best ending.
Finally, retrieve Sam from the barn (a guard may question you; simply say you're moving a body). Exit the camp, turn right, and go around the outside to reach the stables.
Choose a horse and escape with Sam, bringing you closer to completing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s main quests.
