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. 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 find one in a chest within the camp. Once equipped, you can freely explore without raising suspicion.
Sam is located in a barn to the left of the camp, beyond the central fire area. Use the ladder on the barn's side to enter and confront Brabant. You then face a critical choice: kill or spare Brabant. Sparing him contributes to the best ending.
When to Rescue Sam
After freeing Sam, don't immediately leave. He'll inform you about von Aulitz, also in 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. Your guard outfit allows access without incident. You'll find him near death. You can offer him a dignified death (the most honorable option), 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; claim you're moving a body). Exit the camp, turn right, and proceed to the stables. Choose a horse and escape with Sam, completing a major step towards the end of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s main questline.
