Reckoning is the 30th main quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. This walkthrough will guide you through all objectives of the Reckoning main story quest.
The only main objective of this quest is to find the horses. This is technically a 2-minute quest if you run past the enemy camp and go straight to the stables south of Suchdol. However, there are some very important and highly missable side tasks here that you should do first. If you find Markwart von Aulitz you can choose to kill him to avenge your parents’ death. If you find Samuel you get to rescue him and kill the traitor Brabant. If you don’t rescue Samuel he’ll get hanged and you bury him during the last story quest. You should remain in stealth at all times, there are many soldiers here and if you get spotted you will have a difficult time.
[MISSABLE] Face to Face Trophy/Achievement (Meet Markvart von Aulitz)
[MISSABLE] Face to Face 
(finally met Markvart von Aulitz): You find Markvart in the tavern in the middle of town. It’s heavily guarded. You’ll want to sneak there stealthily through the houses in the north and the barn in the east of the search area. The door has a very hard lock but you can pickpocket the keys from the guard sitting in front of the door:
The trophy unlocks immediately when you enter the tavern and see a cutscene of Markvart. Afterward you can decide if/how you want to kill. If you don’t kill him now, he will bleed out from his crossbow wound and you find his dead body in the final story quest. If you kill him, you won’t need to find his body in the final quest.
Find out where Sam is (Optional) / Talk to Sam (Optional)
Samuel is in the south of Suchdol. The only entrance is from within the enemy camp, opposite the tavern. You can’t access it from outside.
There will be a single guard in front of the barn. It’s best to stealth-kill him because you’ll need to carry Sam to the horses afterward. You can headshot him with a bow/crossbow.
Climb up the ladder on the side of the barn. Make a save before dropping down the barn. When you drop down it starts a fight against Brabant. He’s a skilled swordfighter. He has no head protection so you can headshot him with a bow/crossbow for an instakill. However, then you won’t get to talk to him. If you beat him in a duel he’ll try to convince you to let him go. If you let him go he’ll immediately call out for the guards and you’ll have to kill him regardless. It’s better to avoid the trouble and kill him immediately.
Untie Sam and talk to him. He’s too wounded to walk. You can pick up his body and carry him to the horses. Make a manual save and explore the route to the stables before you carry him.
Exit to the street from where you came. Facing the street, turn left (north/northwest). Enter the first yard on the left, there’s a single guard. Can headshot him or bypass him by entering the next yard and lockpicking an easy door. On the left side of this yard are bushes you can walk through:
This leads out of the camp. From here you can walk straight to the stables, see the next objective.
Find a horse and get help
The stables are in the southwest of the search area. Not far from where you found Samuel:
Interact with a horse there to end the mission. You can choose to leave with Samuel (if you carried him there), or go alone. If you leave Samuel behind he gets hanged and you find his dead body in the final quest. If you leave with him he will be alive at the end of the game.
This finishes Reckoning main quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
