Towards the game's climax, Henry confronts Markvart von Aulitz, intending to end his life. A crucial conversation precedes this final act. Selecting the right responses influences the tone and Henry's actions.
| Prompt | Recommended Answer |
|---|---|
| I don’t want to sit here all night, dying slowly like a stuck pig. | Are you afraid? |
| At a time like this, you do not feel fear. | Hell awaits you. |
| He will take care of them… He owes it to me. | Sigismund will never be king. |
| He had her torn apart by dogs. | Wenceslas did nothing of the sort. |
| While traitors like Jobst profit. | What have you got against Jobst? |
| Mark my words. | Where’s von Bergow? |
| You would like to pay him a night-time visit as well? | That’s none of your business. |
| Let me depart with dignity. | Give von Aulitz a dignified death. |
The final choice is paramount. Three options are presented:
- Give von Aulitz a dignified death.
- Kill von Aulitz like a dog.
- Let von Aulitz live.
The most impactful and thematically appropriate choice is to "Give von Aulitz a dignified death." This allows Henry to help Markvart stand before delivering the final blow, offering a more humane and fitting end, in contrast to the cold-blooded killing depicted in the second option. This aligns with the game's focus on the human cost of war and seeks to humanize Markvart.
Can You Let von Aulitz Live?
Choosing to "Let von Aulitz live" results in Henry leaving Markvart to bleed out. Markvart requests a final drink of wine before Henry departs, leaving him to die alone.
In conclusion, the suggested dialogue choices, culminating in a dignified death for Markvart von Aulitz, provide a more resonant and narratively consistent conclusion to this critical moment in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
