If you're aiming for the best ending in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, completing specific tasks is crucial, and one of those tasks is saving Sam. To achieve perfection, it's essential to know where to find him and how to rescue him effectively.
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 arises during the main quest “Reckoning.” Infiltrating the camp requires strategy—you can opt for stealth or choose a more direct, violent approach.
To move freely within the camp without arousing suspicion, you'll need a guard's outfit. You can obtain this by either killing a guard and stealing his uniform, ensuring to hide the body afterward, or by looting one of the many chests scattered around the camp. Once equipped with the guard's outfit, you can explore the camp to locate Sam.

Sam is held in a barn on the left side of the camp, past the open area with a cooking fire. Use the ladder on the side of the barn to climb up and then drop down inside. Here, you'll encounter Brabant, and you'll face a critical decision: kill or spare him. Choosing to spare Brabant contributes to achieving the best ending, though the final decision rests with you.
When to Rescue Sam
After freeing Sam, it's not yet time to leave the camp with him. Sam will inform you about von Aulitz, who is also present in the camp. It's advisable to deal with von Aulitz first, then secure a horse, before returning to Sam to escort him out of the camp. Sam can wait safely, and this sequence makes the tasks easier since you'll need to carry him to the horse.
Von Aulitz is located in the main part of the camp. Wearing the guard's outfit allows you to enter his quarters without interference from the guards at the door. You'll find von Aulitz in a dire state, requesting a dignified death. Granting his wish is the most honorable choice, but you also have the option to kill him cruelly or leave him to die slowly. Interestingly, leaving him to die contributes to the best ending.
After dealing with von Aulitz, your next steps are to retrieve Sam and secure a horse. Return to the barn where you left Sam. If questioned by a guard about Sam, simply say you're moving a body to avoid suspicion. Head towards the camp gates, exit, and turn right to follow the perimeter to the stables.

At the stables, select a horse and make your escape with Sam. This action brings you one step closer to completing the main quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* and achieving the best ending.
