Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Best Ending Guide
The best ending hinges on specific decisions made during critical quests. Here are the pivotal choices you need to make:
- 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.
The last two criteria are somewhat subjective, but we'll delve into each decision for clarity.
Semine vs. Hashek
In the quest "Necessary Evil," you must choose between Semine and Hashek. To secure the best ending, align with Semine and eliminate Hashek. Although Semine will lose his estate, this choice enables his escape, aligning with the moral path favored for the best ending.
The Dry Devil’s Plan
During "Dancing With the Devil," Jan Zizka tasks you with attacking Maleshov Fortress. Reject the Dry Devil’s plan to achieve the best ending. This decision leads to a challenging duel with the Dry Devil but ensures no innocent lives are lost.
Markvart von Aulitz’s Fate
In the "Reckoning" quest, you encounter Markvart von Aulitz. To achieve the best ending, allow him to die naturally or opt for a dignified death by assisting him to stand before delivering a merciful end. Both choices reflect a compassionate approach, essential for the best outcome.
Spare Brabant
In the same mission, you'll find Vauquelin Brabant torturing Samuel. Defeat him but choose to spare his life. This decision, though it complicates the mission by alerting the guards, is crucial for the best ending.
Show Remorse
If you've engaged in criminal activities, you can still steer towards the best ending by showing remorse. When conversing with Henry's parents, select the dialogue option "I’m sorry" to demonstrate your regret and commitment to better choices.
By following these steps, you'll unlock the best ending in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, where Henry's parents are proud of the man he has become.
