In the early stages of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter the opportunity to engage in side quests within two rival settlements, choosing to support either Prochek or Olbram in the Mice or Frogs quests. Here's a detailed guide to help you navigate these choices and maximize your gameplay experience.
Can You Help Both Prochek and Olbram in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the tension between the people of Tachov and Zhelejov is palpable. Fortunately, you can undertake the majority of quests for both Prochek and Olbram if you manage your actions wisely. This approach allows you to delve deeper into the rich backstories of both settlements. While it's not possible to achieve a favorable outcome for both sides simultaneously, exploring both questlines enriches your understanding of the game's world.
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 overall game. Both characters aim to sabotage the other, and your decision might hinge on which task you find more engaging.
Olbram's quest involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, which requires stealth and possibly charming the guard, Henrik, away from his post at night. On the other hand, Prochek's task is to paint Olbram's bull blue, necessitating a recipe from Radovan and dye from the tailor, Bartoshek. Prochek's mission might be more challenging, especially early in the game, due to potential dialogue checks and the need for resources like groschen.
Regardless of your choice, detailed walkthroughs for both questlines are provided below.
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 talk to the innkeeper to locate him.
Get the Dye and Lullaby Potion
After meeting Prochek, travel to Troskowitz and purchase the dye from Bartoshek the tailor. For the Lullaby Potion, you'll need to either apprentice under Radovan, the blacksmith in Tachov, or charm the recipe out of him. The potion requires oil, poppy, and thistle, which you can gather from the garden outside the apothecary in Troskowitz.
Once you've brewed the potion, head to Zhelejov, pour it into the bull's trough to make it sleep, and then paint the bull blue. After completing the task, return to Prochek to report your success. 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, find Olbram in Zhelejov near the meadow and agree to steal the Tachov maypole for him.
Steal the Maypole
Approach Tachov in the evening and sneak towards the maypole. You'll encounter Henrik, the guard. You can either knock him out or, if your Speech skill is high enough, charm him by discussing Manka and arranging a secret date. After setting up the date with Manka at the inn, return to Henrik. Once he leaves, climb the maypole and cut it down.
Report back to Olbram, who will commend your efforts and request one more task: chase the sheep out of Tachov's pasture and administer a digestive potion to Alshik. At this juncture, you can either complete Olbram's additional request or inform Prochek of Olbram's plans, effectively concluding both quests and the rivalry.
