In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the path to the best ending hinges on the choices you make throughout your journey, culminating in a reflective moment with Henry and his parents. To ensure Henry's parents are proud of the person he has become, you must navigate several key decisions in the main storyline. Here's a detailed guide to securing the best possible outcome.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Best Ending Guide
The final scene features Henry conversing with his parents, reflecting on his journey. To achieve the best ending, you must ensure the following:
- You sided with Semine during Necessary Evil.
- You rejected the Dry Devil’s plan at Maleshov Fortress.
- You didn’t kill Markvart von Aulitz, or you gave him a dignified death.
- You spared Vauquelin Brabant.
- You tried to be a law-abiding citizen and didn’t commit too many crimes.
- You showed remorse for your mistakes.
While the last two criteria are somewhat subjective, let’s delve into each decision for clarity.
Semine vs. Hashek
During the quest Necessary Evil, you must choose between Semine and Hashek. To secure the best ending, side with Semine and eliminate Hashek. Although Semine will lose his estate, this choice allows him to escape, aligning with the moral path that leads to the optimal ending.
The Dry Devil’s Plan
In the quest Dancing With the Devil, Jan Zizka tasks you with attacking Maleshov Fortress. To achieve the best ending, reject the Dry Devil’s plan. This decision triggers a duel with the Dry Devil, making the quest more challenging, but crucially, it ensures no innocent lives are lost.
Markvart von Aulitz’s Fate
During the quest Reckoning, you encounter Markvart von Aulitz. To attain the best ending, allow him to die naturally or offer him a dignified death by assisting him to stand before ending his life, thus easing his suffering. This choice reflects compassion and honor, key elements for the best outcome.
Spare Brabant
In the same mission, you'll find Vauquelin Brabant torturing Samuel in the village. After defeating him, spare his life to contribute to the best ending. This action, though it may complicate the mission by summoning guards, aligns with the moral choices needed for the ideal conclusion.
Show Remorse
If you've acted as a criminal throughout the game, you can still steer towards the best ending by showing remorse. During your conversation with Henry’s parents, choose the dialogue option “I’m sorry” to demonstrate your regret, guiding you towards the optimal ending.
