In the early stages of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you'll encounter side quests in the settlements of Tachov and Zhelejov, where you'll need to decide whether to assist Prochek or Olbram in the Mice or Frogs quests. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate these choices.
Can You Help Both Prochek and Olbram in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the tension between Tachov and Zhelejov is palpable, but you can strategically complete most quests for both Prochek and Olbram. This approach allows you to delve deeper into the rich backstories of both settlements. While you won't be able to achieve a favorable outcome for both sides simultaneously, engaging with both questlines will enhance your overall gaming experience.
Should You Choose Prochek or Olbram in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
If you prefer to align with just one side, the choice between Prochek and Olbram doesn't significantly impact the game's outcome. Both characters aim to undermine the other, and your decision boils down to which task you find more intriguing.
Olbram's quest involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, requiring stealth and cunning to distract the guard at night. On the other hand, Prochek's task is to paint Olbram's bull blue, which involves acquiring a dye recipe from Radovan and purchasing the dye from a tailor. Prochek's mission might be more challenging, especially early in the game, due to potential limitations in groschen and Speech skills. If these are concerns, siding with Olbram could be the easier route.
How to Start Mice for Prochek in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To initiate the Mice quest, simply speak with Prochek in Tachov. If he's not immediately available, visit the local inn and ask the innkeeper for his whereabouts.
Get the Dye and Lullaby Potion
After talking to Prochek, travel to Troskowitz and meet Bartoshek the tailor to buy the necessary dye.
To obtain the Lullaby Potion, you'll need to either apprentice under Radovan as a blacksmith in Tachov or use your charm to persuade him to share the recipe, which calls for oil, poppy, and thistle. You can gather the required herbs from the garden outside the Troskowitz apothecary.
Once you've crafted the potion, head to Zhelejov and administer it to the bull through its trough. When the bull is asleep, approach and paint it blue.
After completing this task, report back to Prochek. You can then speak with Olbram to start the Frogs quest and help him retaliate against Tachov.
How to Start Frogs for Olbram in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To begin the Frogs quest, locate Old Olbram in Zhelejov near the meadow and agree to steal the Tachov maypole for him.
Steal the Maypole
Visit Tachov at night and approach the maypole cautiously. You'll encounter Henrik guarding it. You can either knock him out or, if your Speech skill is high enough, persuade him to leave by setting up a secret date with Manka. After speaking with Manka at the inn, return to Henrik. Once he departs, climb the maypole and cut it down.
Inform Olbram of your success, and he'll commend you and request one more task: chasing sheep out of the Tachov pasture and giving Alshik a digestive potion.
At this point, you can choose to continue aiding Olbram or inform Prochek about his plans, effectively concluding both quests and ending the feud.
