Securing the best ending in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* requires completing specific tasks, and rescuing Sam is crucial. This guide details how to locate 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, remembering to hide the body, or locate one within the numerous chests scattered throughout the camp. Once equipped, explore the camp unnoticed.
Sam is located in the barn to the left of the camp, beyond the central fire pit. Climb the ladder on the barn's side and drop down inside to confront Brabant. Here, you face significant choices: you can kill or spare Brabant. Sparing him contributes to the best ending, but the decision is ultimately yours.
When to Rescue Sam
After freeing Sam, don't immediately attempt to leave. He'll inform you about von Aulitz, also within the camp. It's more efficient 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 him to the horse.
Von Aulitz is in the main camp area. Your guard outfit allows you to enter his quarters without raising suspicion. You'll find him near death. You can grant him a dignified death (the most honorable choice), kill him, or leave him to perish. Leaving him to die contributes to the best ending.
Finally, retrieve Sam from the barn (a guard may question you; simply state you're moving a body). Exit the camp, turn right, and follow the perimeter to the stables. Choose a horse and escape with Sam, bringing you closer to completing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's main questline.
