How To Get the Best Ending in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Discover tips and strategies to achieve the best ending in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 features a single ending, but your choices throughout the game significantly impact how that ending plays out. This guide outlines the key decisions that determine whether you achieve the "best" ending, where Henry's deceased parents appear in a dream and react positively to his actions.

KCD2: How To Get the Best Ending

Save Semine: This choice arises early in the game. After interrogating the hostage, you can inform Von Bergow about Semine's treachery or remain silent. Remaining silent is the ideal choice. If you've already told Von Bergow, defend Semine from the attackers. Crucially, do not tell Von Bergow that you killed his men, as this will result in a game over. If you allow Von Bergow's men to attack Semine's town, they will kill everyone and burn the place down.

Don't Burn Maleshov: During the "Dance with the Devil" quest, you'll encounter the Dry Devil, who intends to burn down Maleshov. Prevent this by defeating the Dry Devil in a duel. This decision will make the subsequent attack on Maleshov Castle more challenging, requiring Henry to infiltrate and unlock the gate from within.

Spare Brabant: Brabant is revealed to be a traitor. After defeating him in a duel, you are given the choice to spare or kill him. Sparing Brabant is essential for the best ending, although it makes the mission considerably harder. He won't alert the enemies if spared.

Spare Markvart Von Aulitz: During the same mission, you'll encounter Markvart Von Aulitz. Despite Henry's reasons to kill him, sparing Markvart is the best choice. He is already dying, and killing him serves no real purpose. He also won't alert enemies if spared.

Save Samuel: This choice occurs during the same mission. Samuel, believing he'll be a burden, asks you to leave him behind. Abandoning him results in his hanging. Saving Samuel makes your escape more difficult, but it earns you praise from Henry's father in the ending.

Be Lawful and Honorable: Beyond these specific choices, strive to act honorably throughout the game. Even if you follow this guide perfectly, acting like a criminal and harming innocents will be reflected in Henry's parents' reactions. Avoid excessive stealing, kill only when necessary, and treat others with kindness. These actions contribute to the overall impression Henry makes in the dream sequence.

In summary: Achieving the best ending in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 requires a combination of specific choices (saving Semine, sparing Brabant and Markvart, saving Samuel) and a consistent pattern of honorable behavior. These decisions, while sometimes making the game more challenging, ultimately lead to the most satisfying conclusion and the approval of Henry's parents in the dream sequence.
