In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, early game 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 locked in a feud, completing most quests for both Prochek and Olbram is achievable. This provides a richer understanding of both settlements' backstories. While a completely satisfying outcome for both isn't possible, exploring both sides offers a more comprehensive gameplay experience.
Prochek vs. Olbram: Which to Choose?
Ultimately, choosing between Prochek and Olbram doesn't significantly impact the game's progression. Both aim to sabotage the other; the choice boils down to personal preference.
Olbram's quest involves stealing Zhelejov's maypole, requiring nighttime stealth and potentially charming a guard. Prochek's task is to paint Olbram's bull blue, necessitating acquiring dye from a tailor and a lullaby potion recipe (possibly from Radovan).
Prochek's quest presents a slightly higher difficulty, particularly early in the game. Resource limitations (groschen, Speech skill) might make Olbram's quest a more accessible starting point.
Mice for Prochek: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Speak to Prochek in Tachov (or the innkeeper if he's unavailable).
- Obtain the Dye: Purchase dye from Bartoshek, the tailor in Troskowitz.
- Acquire the Lullaby Potion: Either work for Radovan as a blacksmith or charm him for the recipe. Gather poppy and thistle from the apothecary garden in Troskowitz, and combine with oil.
- Paint the Bull: In Zhelejov, administer the potion to the bull, wait for it to sleep, and paint it.
- Report Back: Inform Prochek of the completed task.
Frogs for Olbram: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Find Olbram near the meadow in Zhelejov and accept his quest.
- Steal the Maypole: Go to Tachov at night. You can either knock out Henrik, the guard, or charm him using high Speech, creating a diversion with a date for him and Manka.
- Chop Down the Maypole: Once Henrik is gone, climb and cut down the maypole.
- Report Back & Next Task: Return to Olbram; he'll assign a follow-up task (chasing sheep and delivering a potion to Alshik).
- Optional: Betrayal: You can choose to inform Prochek of Olbram's plan, concluding both quests.
This comprehensive guide covers both questlines, allowing players to choose the path that best suits their playstyle. Remember to consult other resources for additional Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 tips and strategies.
