You, as Henry, face a crucial decision in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: choosing your trusty steed from two contenders, Pebbles and Herring. The prologue cruelly strips you of your original horse, leaving you to rebuild your stable. So, which horse reigns supreme?
Finding Pebbles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Your reunion with Pebbles occurs at the Semine estate, before the wedding of Lord Semine and Agnes. She resides in the stables, but requires purchase to become your ride during the "The Jaunt" quest with Jan Semine. Pebbles holds a special place, having been Henry's companion, much like Mutt (also retrievable through side quests).
Obtaining Herring in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Herring becomes available after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls." If you're horseless, Otto von Bergow gifts him to you. Alternatively, if you already own a horse, you can sell Herring to Kabat for 300 Groschen.
Pebbles vs. Herring: The Ultimate Showdown
At first glance, Herring's superior base stats might seem alluring. However, this initial advantage is deceptive. Each horse unlocks a perk boosting its stats after a certain riding distance. This means initial stats aren't the whole story.
Ultimately, Pebbles emerges as the victor. While not boasting the highest boosted stats, her lower acquisition cost and faster perk unlock (after 35 kilometers versus Herring's 50) make her a compelling choice. Her boosted stats are impressive: 217 stamina, 353 capacity, 53 speed, and 12 courage. Furthermore, the sentimental value of her prior companionship with Henry adds to her appeal.
For extensive travel in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, a reliable steed is paramount. Pebbles' combination of affordability, efficient perk unlock, and decent stats makes her the ideal choice for Henry's journey. Her sentimental value only sweetens the deal.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
