In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, your dialogue choices play a significant role in shaping your character's persona and the emotional tone of the game, even if they don't drastically change the overarching narrative. When it comes to the pivotal scene involving Markvart von Aulitz's death, your choices can imbue the moment with different nuances. Here’s a guide to the best dialogue options for this crucial encounter.
As you approach the end of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Henry confronts Markvart von Aulitz with the intent to end his life. Before the final act, you'll have a chance to engage in dialogue that can influence the scene's emotional impact.
Here are the recommended dialogue choices for your conversation with Markvart:
Prompt | 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 most impactful choice comes at the end of the dialogue, where you are presented with three options:
Opting for Give von Aulitz a dignified death is recommended. This choice allows Henry to assist Markvart to stand before delivering the final blow with his sword. This contrasts with the harsher option of killing him while seated, which lacks compassion. Given the scene's intent to humanize Markvart and reflect on the brutal realities of war, allowing him a dignified death feels thematically appropriate for Henry's character arc.
If you choose to Let von Aulitz live, Henry will not deliver the killing blow. Instead, he'll leave Markvart to bleed out slowly. Before departing, Markvart will request another cup of wine, which Henry will provide. This choice results in a poignant scene where Markvart drinks alone as he succumbs to his wounds.
