In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, early side quests in Tachov and Zhelejov offer a choice between aiding Prochek or Olbram. This guide details both questlines, "Mice" and "Frogs," and explores whether it's possible to help both.
Can You Help Both?
While Tachov and Zhelejov are at odds, cleverly navigating the quests allows completion of most tasks for both Prochek and Olbram. While a win-win isn't possible, exploring both sides reveals more of the game's narrative.
Choosing Prochek or Olbram:
Ultimately, choosing between Prochek and Olbram is largely a matter of preference. Both aim to sabotage the other, making the choice purely based on personal enjoyment of the tasks.
Olbram's quest involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, requiring nighttime stealth and potentially charming a guard. Prochek's task involves painting Olbram's bull blue, requiring dye from a tailor and a lullaby potion recipe from Radovan.
Prochek's quest might be slightly more challenging early in the game, depending on your groschen and Speech skill.
Mice Quest (Prochek):
Speak to Prochek in Tachov (or the innkeeper if he's unavailable). The quest involves:
- Obtaining Dye: Purchase dye from Bartoshek, the tailor in Troskowitz.
- Brewing a Lullaby Potion: Acquire the recipe from Radovan (either through apprenticeship or charm). Gather oil, poppy, and thistle (found near the Troskowitz apothecary). Brew the potion.
- Painting the Bull: In Zhelejov, administer the potion to the bull, then paint it.
- Reporting to Prochek: Inform Prochek of the completed task.
Frogs Quest (Olbram):
Find Olbram near the Zhelejov meadow. The quest involves:
- Stealing the Maypole: In Tachov at night, stealthily approach the maypole and either knock out or charm Henrik, the guard. Use Manka to create a diversion. Chop down the maypole.
- Chasing Sheep: After returning to Olbram, he'll request chasing sheep from a Tachov pasture and delivering a digestive potion to Alshik.
Conclusion:
Both questlines offer engaging gameplay. The choice depends on preferred difficulty and playstyle. After completing either questline, you can choose to inform the opposing character of the other's actions, concluding the rivalry. For more Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 guides, check The Escapist.
