If you're aiming for the best ending in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, completing certain tasks is crucial, and saving Sam is one of them. Knowing where to find Sam is essential for achieving that perfect conclusion.
Rescuing Sam During "Reckoning"
As you approach the end of the main quest line, you'll discover that Sam is being held captive at Praguer's Camp, captured by Brabant. Your opportunity to save him comes during the main quest "Reckoning." You can't simply stroll into the camp and free him; instead, you'll need to choose between stealth or violence.
To move around the camp without raising suspicion, you'll need a guard's outfit. You can obtain one by either killing a guard and stealing his attire, then hiding the body, or by looting one from the numerous chests scattered around the camp. Once you have the outfit equipped, you can freely explore the camp in search of Sam.

Sam is located in the barn on the left side of the camp, past the open area with a cooking fire. To reach him, use the ladder on the side of the barn and drop down inside, where you'll confront Brabant. At this point, you have critical choices to make: you can either kill or spare Brabant. Sparing him contributes to achieving the best ending, but the decision is yours.
When to Rescue Sam
After freeing Sam, it's not yet time to escape with him. He'll inform you about von Aulitz, who is also in the camp. It's advisable to deal with von Aulitz first, then find a horse, and finally return to Sam to get him out of the camp. Sam can wait safely while you complete these tasks, and this order makes the process smoother since you'll need to carry him to the horse.
Von Aulitz is located in the main part of the camp. Wearing the guard's outfit allows you to enter his quarters without issue. Upon finding him, you'll see that von Aulitz is already dying. He requests a dignified death, which is the most honorable choice. Alternatively, you can kill him brutally or leave him to die slowly. Interestingly, leaving him to die actually contributes to the best ending.
Your final steps involve retrieving Sam and securing a horse. Sam remains in the barn where you left him. If a guard questions you about moving him, simply say you're handling a body, which will dispel any suspicion. Head towards the camp gates, exit, and turn right to follow the perimeter.

As you follow the camp's outer edge, you'll reach the stables. Choose a horse, and escape with Sam, bringing you one step closer to completing the main quests of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
