In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, exploring the vast open world and engaging in horse-related activities is a core part of the experience, so it's crucial to have the best horse at your side. Here's how to get the top horse in the game.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Best Horse
The best horse you can get in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is Pebbles, but you'll need to unlock the Good Old Pebbles perk to maximize its potential. Although other horses may have slightly superior stats, Pebbles stands out due to its affordability and ease of acquisition. With the perk unlocked, Pebbles boasts the following impressive stats:
- Stamina: 217
- Capacity: 353
- Speed: 53
- Courage: 12
How to Get Pebbles
You can acquire Pebbles early in the game by heading to Semine and speaking with 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 small fee. To unlock Pebbles' full potential, you must ride it for about 35 km. Once you've covered this distance, the Good Old Pebbles perk becomes available, significantly boosting all of Pebbles' stats. This makes Pebbles one of the top horses in the game, and its ease of acquisition and lower cost make it a no-brainer choice over other, more expensive options.
Other Horse Options in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
If you're interested in exploring other horse options, consider these:
- Herring (Trosky Castle): Available for free after completing the "For Whom the Bell Tolls" quest, though it slightly underperforms compared to Pebbles in terms of capacity and speed. You'll need to unlock a perk to maximize its 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 that surpasses Pebbles in speed and courage, but costs a whopping 7,560 groschen.
These alternatives come with significant price tags for only marginal stat improvements, making Pebbles the most practical and best horse you can get in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
