We know that the game has multiple endings, but what if we told you there’s a Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 secret ending? While most players will see the story through Henry’s eyes and follow the main path, doing quests like For Whom the Bell Tolls, there are secret ways to change the story. One of the biggest secrets is the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 secret ending involving King Sigismund. Some players even think that it is the true ending. Maybe they’re right. Let’s find out.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to unlock this rare ending, plus details on the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 true ending.
How to Get the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Secret Ending
King Sigismund of Hungary is the main force behind the conflict in the game. Most of the story is about stopping his plans. But if you want to see what happens if Sigismund is killed early, you can unlock a Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 secret ending during the “King’s Gambit” quest.
Step-by-Step Guide to KCD 2 Secret Ending
Start the King’s Gambit Quest
This quest comes after “Taking French Leave.” Henry must sneak into a council meeting in Kuttenberg by pretending to be a servant.
Serve Wine and Stay Low
As you serve wine, try not to draw attention. You’ll be asked for help twice during this part.
First Chance: Bailiff Andreas Plumel
Bailiff Plumel will ask you to fetch a confiscated goblet from his office. Say yes.
- Go to the chapel near the wine pitchers.
- Turn right and go through the door.
- The goblet is on the table, but check the desk at the end for a dagger hidden in a scroll.
Second Chance: Franz Rosenthal
If you miss the first chance, Franz will ask you to fetch his gloves. He’ll also ask you to count the angels in the chapel. The correct answer is twenty-four, which helps you stay undercover.
Wait for King Sigismund
When Sigismund arrives, a cutscene will play. Afterward, you’ll briefly play as Godwin at Raborsch. Finish this part to return to Henry.
Assassinate King Sigismund
With the dagger in your inventory, sneak behind King Sigismund. Hold A/Cross (controller) or E (keyboard) to stealth kill him. Patch 1.3 added a special animation for this moment.
See the Secret Ending
After killing Sigismund, you’ll get a message:
THE END…You killed King Sigismund, although you died at his guard’s hands shortly after. King Wenceslas soon returned to the Bohemian throne, Jan Hus was never burned at the stake, and the Hussite Wars never took place. This ending changes history, since the real Sigismund died in 1437. You’ll have to reload your last save, but it’s a fun secret to try.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 True Ending
The Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 true ending is different from the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 secret ending. The true ending depends on your choices throughout the game, your relationships, and how you finish the main story. To see the true ending, follow the main questline, make careful choices, and see Henry’s story through to the end. The true ending gives you the full story of Henry, his friends, and the fate of Bohemia.
And that’s all you need to know about the Kingdom Come Delieverance 2 secret ending as well as the true ending. For more KCD 2 content, stay tuned to RetroNoob.
