Reckoning is one of the last main quests inKingdom Come: Deliverance 2, taking place during the Siege of Suchdol. Henry and Samuel are tasked with getting a message to Margrave Jobst’s army, who will hopefully lift the siege.
To do so, the two somewhat-brothers will climb down the castle walls and find a horse from the besieger’s camp. However, things do not go to plan for Henry as Samuel goes off on his own, seeking vengeance. Henry’s main objective during theReckoning quest inKCD2is tosteal a horse and escape, but players can firstsave Samueland maybe mete out somerevengeof their own.
If players want to complete this quest as quickly as possible and aren’t bothered about saving Samuel, they can skip to the section on finding a horse.

To walk into the camp while wearing a Prague uniform, Henry will first need tolisten to two guards talking about the password.
Players willactually need to listen, as the password changes between playthroughs and upon loading the previous save.
An example location of two guards talking is marked above, but there are plenty of other spots. They can then walk to theentrance at the south of the campand talk to the guard. Unfortunately, if Henry participated in theslaughter at Maleshov, this conversation will beextremely tricky. Ahigh Speech statcan help.
Sneaking Into The Camp
Sneaking into the campwith or without a uniform is arguably theeasier option, but there are only a few places to do so. The best way is to approach from the west and find a small hole in the wall covered by a bush. This location isjust south of the main quest marker. There is a smokehouse here.
This spot is best as it’s near towhere Samuel can be found. To get in from the east, follow the stream.
