To achieve the best ending in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, completing specific tasks is crucial, and one of these tasks involves saving Sam. Knowing where to find Sam is essential for those aiming for perfection in the game.
Rescuing Sam During "Reckoning"
As you approach the conclusion of the main quest line, you'll discover that Sam is being held captive at Praguer's Camp, captured by Brabant. Your opportunity to save him comes during the main quest "Reckoning." However, simply walking into the camp to free him isn't an option. You must choose between stealth or violence to infiltrate the camp.
To move around the camp without arousing suspicion, you'll need a guard's outfit. You can obtain this by either killing a guard and stealing his outfit, ensuring to hide the body afterward, or by looting one of the many chests scattered throughout the camp. Once you have the outfit equipped, you can freely explore the camp in search of Sam.
When to Rescue Sam
After freeing Sam, it's not yet time to escape the camp with him. He'll inform you about von Aulitz, who is also within the camp. It's advisable to deal with von Aulitz first, then secure a horse, and finally return to Sam to get him out of the camp. Sam can wait safely while you complete these tasks, and this order makes the process smoother, especially since you'll need to carry him to the horse.
Von Aulitz can be found in the main part of the camp. Wearing the guard's outfit allows you to enter his quarters without issue. Upon finding him, you'll see that von Aulitz is already dying. He requests a dignified death, which is the most honorable choice you can make. Alternatively, you can choose to kill him brutally or leave him to die slowly. While these choices have less impact, leaving him to die actually contributes to the best ending.
Your final steps involve retrieving Sam and securing a horse. Sam remains in the barn where you left him. If a guard questions your actions, simply explain that you're moving a body, which will dispel any suspicion. Head towards the camp gates, exit, and turn right to follow the perimeter.
