Your dialogue choices in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 significantly impact the game's atmosphere, shaping Henry's character arc, even if they don't drastically alter the main storyline. This guide focuses on the optimal dialogue choices during the pivotal confrontation with Markvart von Aulitz.
Towards the game's climax, Henry confronts Markvart, intending to end his life. A crucial conversation precedes this act, offering several dialogue options. The following table outlines the recommended responses:
| Prompt | Recommended Answer |
|---|---|
| I don’t want to sit here all night, dying slowly like a stuck pig. | Are you afraid? |
| At a time like this, you do not feel fear. | Hell awaits you. |
| He will take care of them… He owes it to me. | Sigismund will never be king. |
| He had her torn apart by dogs. | Wenceslas did nothing of the sort. |
| While traitors like Jobst profit. | What have you got against Jobst? |
| Mark my words. | Where’s von Bergow? |
| You would like to pay him a night-time visit as well? | That’s none of your business. |
| Let me depart with dignity. | Give von Aulitz a dignified death. |
Ultimately, the final choice holds the most weight. Three options are presented:
- Give von Aulitz a dignified death.
- Kill von Aulitz like a dog.
- Let von Aulitz live.
Choosing "Give von Aulitz a dignified death" is strongly recommended. This allows Henry to assist Markvart to his feet before the final act, offering a more humane and thematically appropriate conclusion, contrasting with the brutal alternative of killing him while seated. This choice aligns with the game's focus on the human cost of war and attempts to humanize Markvart.
Can You Let von Aulitz Live?
Selecting the third option, "Let von Aulitz live," results in Henry leaving Markvart to bleed out. Markvart requests a final drink of wine before Henry departs, leaving him to die alone.
In summary, the best approach involves selecting the recommended dialogue options leading up to the final choice, culminating in granting Markvart a dignified death, thus reflecting a nuanced understanding of the conflict's moral complexities.
