Embarking on your adventure in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* means you'll want to explore its expansive open world and engage in various horse-related activities. Instead of trekking on foot, having the best horse by your side can transform your gameplay experience. Here's your guide to securing the top horse in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Best Horse
In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the crown jewel among horses is Pebbles. However, to harness its full potential, you must first unlock the Good Old Pebbles perk.
While there are other horses in the game that might boast marginally superior stats, Pebbles stands out as the best choice due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of acquisition. Once you've unlocked the perk, Pebbles will boast impressive stats:
- Stamina: 217
- Capacity: 353
- Speed: 53
- Courage: 12
How to Get Pebbles
You can get your hands on Pebbles early in the game. Make your way to Semine and find the horse trader NPC. If your Speech skill is high enough, you can persuade the trader to give you Pebbles for free. Otherwise, you'll need to pay a nominal fee.
To unlock Pebbles' full potential, you'll need to ride it for approximately 35 km. Once you've covered this distance, the Good Old Pebbles perk becomes available, significantly boosting Pebbles' stats. With this perk, Pebbles ranks near the top of the game's horse hierarchy, making it an unbeatable choice, especially considering the high costs and challenges associated with obtaining other top-tier horses.
Other Horse Options in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
If you're keen on exploring other horse options, consider these alternatives:
- Herring (Trosky Castle): Available for free after completing the "For Whom the Bell Tolls" quest, though it lags slightly behind Pebbles in capacity and speed. Unlocking its perk can help it reach its full potential.
- Kincsern (Kuttenberg): Boasts the highest stamina (235) and speed (60) in the game, but comes with a hefty price tag of 5,260 groschen.
- Pisek Lad (Kuttenberg): An excellent all-rounder, surpassing Pebbles in speed and courage, but priced at 7,560 groschen.
As you can see, the small stat improvements these horses offer come at a significant cost, making Pebbles the most practical and efficient choice in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
