10 Secret Ways To Win In Video Games You Had No Idea Existed
3. You Can Kill The King And Become A Martyr - Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II puts Henry in a more esteemed position than its predecessor. The blacksmith’s son has to deal with his country’s royalty as he sets out to resolve the dispute between Sigismund and his half-brother, King Wenceslaus IV.
Both rulers have their flaws, but Sigismund is an especially cruel king who burned down Henry’s home village, so naturally the main hero wants to support his political opponent.
Getting rid of Sigismund is the culmination of the lengthy main quest that will make you sink hours into seeing the resolution, but there is actually a secret shortcut for those who’d like to get justice for Henry’s loved ones early.
When you come to one of Sigismund’s council meetings, instead of assisting the gathered lords like you’re supposed to, you can simply pull out your sword and kill Sigismund on the spot.
This will trigger a secret ending in which the game describes that your assault on the king was successful, but Henry was cut down by his guards shortly after. The young would-be knight is deemed a martyr for his country, and his legacy will forever serve its people as a reminder to fight for their liberty.
Yeah, it was worth it!
