In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, achieving the best ending hinges on the choices you make throughout the game, culminating in a reflective conversation with Henry's parents. To ensure Henry's parents are proud of his journey, you'll need to navigate several key decisions in the main storyline. Here's a detailed guide on how to secure the optimal conclusion.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Best Ending Guide
The game concludes with Henry reflecting on his journey with his parents. To achieve the best ending, focus on the following key decisions:
- 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.
While the last two points are somewhat subjective, let's delve into each decision to ensure you're on the right path.
Semine vs. Hashek
During the quest "Necessary Evil," you must choose between Semine and Hashek. To achieve the best ending, side with Semine and eliminate Hashek. Although Semine will lose his estate, this choice allows him to escape, aligning with the moral path that leads to the best outcome.
The Dry Devil’s Plan
In the quest "Dancing With the Devil," Jan Zizka tasks you with attacking Maleshov Fortress. To secure the best ending, refuse to follow the Dry Devil's plan. This decision leads to a duel with the Dry Devil, making the quest more challenging, but it ensures you avoid harming innocents.
Markvart von Aulitz’s Fate
During the "Reckoning" quest, you encounter Markvart von Aulitz. For the best ending, choose not to kill him directly. Instead, allow him to die on his own terms, or assist him to stand before delivering a dignified death, easing his suffering.
Spare Brabant
In 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. This choice will make the mission more difficult as he calls the guards, but it's crucial for the optimal outcome.
Show Remorse
If you've acted criminally during your journey, you can still redeem yourself by showing remorse. When speaking to Henry's parents, select the dialogue option "I’m sorry" to demonstrate your regret, helping to secure the best ending.
By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to achieving the best ending in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and information on the game, including how to find all six Saint Antiochus’ Dice and explore all romance options, be sure to visit The Escapist.
