In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the dialogue choices you make during your encounter with Markvart von Aulitz are pivotal, not in altering the storyline's end, but in shaping the tone and your character's moral stance. Here's a guide to the best dialogue choices for Markvart's death scene.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Best Dialogue Choices for Markvart's Death
As you near the climax of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Henry confronts Markvart von Aulitz with the intent to end his life. Before the final act, you have the opportunity to engage in a crucial dialogue. Here are the recommended responses for this significant conversation:
| 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 this dialogue. You'll have three options:
- Give von Aulitz a dignified death.
- Kill von Aulitz like a dog.
- Let von Aulitz live.
Opting to give him a dignified death is the best choice here. This decision allows Henry to help Markvart stand before delivering the final blow with his sword, offering a moment of respect and humanization in the face of war's brutality. Choosing the second option results in a colder, more ruthless killing while Markvart is seated. The dignified death aligns with the narrative's intention to portray the somber reality of conflict.
Can You Let von Aulitz Live?
Selecting the third option to let von Aulitz live leads Henry to walk away, leaving Markvart to bleed out. Before departing, von Aulitz requests another cup of wine, which Henry provides. This choice leaves von Aulitz to drink his wine as he succumbs to his wounds.
These are the optimal dialogue choices for handling Markvart von Aulitz's death in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more insights and guides on the game, including romance options and the best perks to unlock first, be sure to check out The Escapist.
