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”
Towards the end of the main questline, you discover Sam is held captive at Praguer's Camp, captured by Brabant. You can save him during the "Reckoning" quest, choosing between stealth or a more direct approach.
To infiltrate the camp undetected, 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 without raising suspicion.
Sam is located in a barn to the left of the camp, past the central fire. Use the ladder on the barn's side to enter and confront Brabant. Here, you face significant choices: you can choose to kill or spare Brabant. Sparing him contributes to the best ending.
When to Rescue Sam
After freeing Sam, don't immediately leave the camp. He'll inform you about von Aulitz, also within the camp. It's strategically better 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 the guard outfit allows you to enter his quarters without incident. You'll find him near death. You can 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; explain you're moving a body). Exit the camp, turn right, and locate the stables. Choose a horse and escape with Sam, bringing you closer to completing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's main quests.
