Nat dressed as Samson and waited outside the tomb, but when Jud arrived, Nat killed Samson to keep Eve's Apple for himself.
This misstates the scene at the crypt. Official and recap sources say Samson emerges dressed as Wicks and then meets Nat; Nat does not disguise himself as Samson.
Full reasoning
Netflix’s official ending explainer says Samson is the one who comes out of the crypt in disguise: he is "dressed in similar vestments" and goes to meet Nat in the woods. It then says, "Samson pushes open the Lazarus door and goes to Nat" and that Nat later kills Samson with a scythe after Jud comes upon them. That directly contradicts the article’s claim that Nat "dressed as Samson and waited outside the tomb."
A second recap matches this sequence: Cosmopolitan says the conspirators put Samson dressed as Wicks in the mausoleum, that Jud sees Samson leave the mausoleum and meet Nat in the forest, and that Nat then knocks Jud out and kills Samson. In other words, the disguise belongs to Samson/Wicks, not Nat/Samson.

"They would then put Samson dressed as Wicks in the mausoleum... Jud happened to be there when Samson left the mausoleum and met up with Nat in a nearby forrest. Nat knocked Jud out with a punch and killed Samson."
