Embark on a side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and face a moral dilemma that will shape an NPC's destiny. This guide focuses on the Cabbage Thief quest and what to do with Sauerkraut Pepa.
How to Start the Cabbage Thief Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Initiate the Cabbage Thief side quest by speaking with Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. He's usually found wandering the village during the day or inside the tavern. Inquire about recent events in town, and he'll reveal the cabbage thefts. He'll then direct you to the Grocer south of Troskowitz to officially begin the quest.
Cabbage Thief Location

To find the thief, follow the trail of scattered cabbages leading towards Nebakov Fortress. This trail will guide you down a less obvious path near the river, eventually leading you to a cart full of cabbages and, finally, Sauerkraut Pepa, the culprit.
Should You Spare or Turn in Sauerkraut Pepa?
When confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you face three choices: spare him, kill him, or turn him in.
Sparing him yields a reward of sauerkraut. He'll even cook more for you if you provide additional cabbages. Pepa's sauerkraut is a valuable non-perishable food item providing significant healing and nourishment.
Killing or turning him in earns you 789 groschen from Bailiff Thrush.
The best choice depends on your immediate needs. The healing benefits of the sauerkraut might outweigh the monetary reward, especially considering the ease of acquiring money through dice games with the right strategy.
