There’s only one main ending in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, but the variations you experience depend heavily on the choices you make throughout the game. To achieve the best ending, where Henry reflects on his journey with pride and earns his parents' approval, you'll need to make specific decisions. Here's a comprehensive guide to securing the optimal conclusion.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Best Ending Guide
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 concludes with Henry conversing with his parents, reflecting on his journey. To ensure the best ending, your choices should reflect honor and morality. Here are the key decisions that influence this outcome:
- Siding with Semine during Necessary Evil.
- Rejecting the Dry Devil’s plan at Maleshov Fortress.
- Not killing Markvart von Aulitz, or giving him a dignified death.
- Sparing Vauquelin Brabant.
- Maintaining a law-abiding character and minimizing criminal acts.
- Showing remorse for your mistakes.
Let's delve into each of these decisions.
Semine vs. Hashek
In the quest Necessary Evil, you must choose between Semine and Hashek. For the best ending, side with Semine and eliminate Hashek. Although Semine will lose his estate, he can escape and survive.
The Dry Devil’s Plan
During Dancing With the Devil, Jan Zizka tasks you with attacking Maleshov Fortress. To achieve the best ending, refuse the Dry Devil's plan. This choice leads to a duel with the Dry Devil, making the quest more challenging, but it ensures no innocent lives are taken.
Markvart von Aulitz’s Fate
In the quest Reckoning, you encounter Markvart von Aulitz. For the best outcome, do not kill him outright. Instead, allow him to die on his own or assist him in standing before delivering a merciful death, easing his suffering.
Spare Brabant
During the same mission, you'll find Vauquelin Brabant torturing Samuel in the village. After defeating him, spare his life to align with the best ending path. This choice complicates the mission as he will summon the guards, but it's crucial for the optimal ending.
Show Remorse
Even if you've acted criminally during your journey, you can still redeem yourself. When speaking with Henry's parents at the end, select the dialogue option "I’m sorry" to demonstrate your remorse and set the stage for the best possible ending.
By following these steps and making these choices, you'll ensure that Henry's journey in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 ends on the highest note, with his parents proud of the person he has become.
