Securing the best ending in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* requires completing specific tasks, and rescuing Sam is key. 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.

A guard's outfit is crucial for stealth. You can acquire one by killing a guard and taking it, or by looting chests within the camp. Once equipped, explore the camp undetected.

Sam is in the barn to the left of the camp, past the central fire. Use the ladder to access the barn and confront Brabant. Here, you face crucial choices: kill or spare Brabant. Sparing him contributes to the best ending.

When to Rescue Sam

After freeing Sam, don't immediately leave. He mentions von Aulitz, also in the camp. It's advisable to deal with von Aulitz first, then find a horse, before returning 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 you access. You'll find him near death. You can offer 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 (explaining you're moving a body if questioned) and find a horse near the camp's stables.

Escape with Sam, bringing you closer to completing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s main quests.
