In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, early 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 at odds, cleverly navigating the quests allows completion of most tasks for both Prochek and Olbram. While a mutually beneficial outcome is impossible, exploring both sides provides a richer understanding of the game's lore.
Prochek vs. Olbram: Which to Choose?
Ultimately, choosing between Prochek and Olbram has minimal impact on the overall narrative. Both aim to sabotage the other; the selection 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 dye from the tailor and a lullaby potion recipe from Radovan. Prochek's quest might prove more challenging early in the game, particularly due to potential dialogue checks requiring sufficient groschen or Speech skill.
Prochek's "Mice" Quest:
Initiate the quest by speaking with Prochek in Tachov (locate him at the local inn if needed). The quest requires obtaining dye from Bartoshek the tailor in Troskowitz and a lullaby potion. The potion recipe (oil, poppy, thistle) can be acquired from Radovan (either through apprenticeship or charm). Brew the potion, administer it to the bull in Zhelejov, paint the bull, and report back to Prochek.
Olbram's "Frogs" Quest:
Find Olbram near the meadow in Zhelejov to begin. The quest involves stealing Tachov's maypole at night. You can either knock out the guard, Henrik, or charm him using a high Speech skill. Charm him by inquiring about Manka, arrange a date for them, and then steal the maypole once Henrik leaves. Return to Olbram, who will then request you chase sheep from a Tachov pasture and deliver a digestive potion to Alshik.
Conclusion:
This guide covers the "Mice" and "Frogs" quests, allowing players to choose their allegiance or attempt to complete both. Remember to consult other resources, like The Escapist, for further Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 tips and strategies.
