If you're aiming for the optimal conclusion, completing specific objectives is essential. Rescuing Sam is among these pivotal tasks that contribute toward achieving the best possible ending. Here's everything you need to know about locating Sam in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 when pursuing the perfect resolution.

Rescuing Sam During "Reckoning"

Approaching the climax of the main storyline, you'll discover Sam imprisoned at Praguer's Camp after being captured by Brabant. The "Reckoning" quest presents your opportunity to liberate him through stealth infiltration or direct confrontation.

To navigate the camp undetected, acquiring a guard's uniform is crucial. You may eliminate a sentry and claim their attire (remember to conceal the body), or potentially find one in the numerous storage chests scattered throughout the compound. Equipping this disguise allows unrestricted movement as you search for Sam.

Sam is detained in the barn on the camp's left side, beyond the open area containing a cooking fire. Access requires scaling the barn's exterior ladder and descending inside, where you'll confront Brabant. This encounter presents critical choices affecting your ending - including the option to spare or execute Brabant (mercy aligns with the optimal conclusion).

Optimal Rescue Sequence

After freeing Sam, he reveals vital information about von Aulitz's presence in the camp. The most efficient approach involves:

1. Eliminating von Aulitz first
2. Securing a mount
3. Returning for Sam

Wearing your disguise grants unhindered access to von Aulitz's quarters, where you'll find him mortally wounded. The most honorable resolution involves granting his request for a dignified death - though abandoning him actually contributes more toward the preferred ending.

The final steps involve reuniting with Sam (claim you're moving a body if questioned) and acquiring a horse from the perimeter stables. Successfully escaping with Sam marks significant progress toward concluding Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's primary narrative arc.
