In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, there is essentially one main ending, but it can vary slightly depending on the choices you make throughout the game. Achieving the best ending requires Henry's parents to be proud of the man he has become, which hinges on several key decisions in the main storyline. Here’s a comprehensive guide to securing the best possible outcome in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Best Ending Guide
The game concludes with Henry conversing with his parents, reflecting on his journey. To ensure they are proud of him, you need to make specific choices that align with honor and morality.
The critical decisions to aim for are:
- You sided with Semine during the quest "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.
Let's delve into each of these decisions:
Semine vs. Hashek
During the "Necessary Evil" quest, 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 and live.
The Dry Devil's Plan
In the "Dancing With the Devil" quest, Jan Zizka tasks you with attacking Maleshov Fortress. To secure the best ending, reject the Dry Devil's plan. This decision leads to a duel with the Dry Devil and makes the quest more challenging, but it ensures no innocents are harmed.
Markvart von Aulitz's Fate
During the "Reckoning" quest, you encounter Markvart von Aulitz. For the best ending, allow him to die naturally or offer him a dignified death by helping him stand before delivering a fatal blow, 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 ensure the best ending. This choice will prompt him to call the guards, making the mission more difficult but aligning with the moral path.
Show Remorse
If you've acted criminally throughout the game, you can still redeem yourself by showing remorse. When speaking to Henry's parents at the end, choose the dialogue option "I’m sorry" to help secure the best ending.
