In the early stages of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, players can engage in side quests in two distinct settlements, choosing to support either Prochek or Olbram in the Mice or Frogs quests. Here's a detailed guide to help you navigate these quests effectively.
Can You Help Both Prochek and Olbram in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?
In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the rivalry between the people of Tachov and Zhelejov is intense, yet it's possible to complete most of the quests for both Prochek and Olbram if you manage your choices wisely. This approach allows you to delve deeper into the backstories of both settlements. Although you can't achieve a favorable outcome for both sides, exploring both questlines will enrich your gaming experience and reveal more of what the game has to offer.
Should You Choose Prochek or Olbram in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
If you prefer to align with only one side, the choice between Prochek and Olbram doesn't significantly impact the overall game. Both seek 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 entails sneaking in at night and distracting the guard. On the other hand, Prochek wants you to paint Olbram’s bull blue, requiring a dye from the tailor and a Lullaby Potion recipe from Radovan.
Prochek's task may be more challenging, particularly early in the game, due to potential limitations in groschen and Speech skills. If these are concerns, siding with Olbram might be easier. Below, I'll provide a more detailed breakdown of both questlines to assist you in making your choice.
How to Start Mice for Prochek in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To initiate the Mice quest, simply talk to Prochek in Tachov. If you can't locate him, visit the local inn and inquire with the innkeeper to find Prochek.
Get the Dye and Lullaby Potion
After conversing with Prochek, head 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 can be harvested from the garden outside the apothecary in Troskowitz.
Once you've prepared the potion, travel to Zhelejov and pour it into the bull's trough. When the bull falls asleep, approach it and begin painting.
After completing the task, return to Prochek to report your success. You can then speak with Olbram to start the Frogs side quest and assist him in retaliating against Tachov.
How to Start Frogs for Olbram in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To begin the Frogs quest, locate Olbram in Zhelejov near the meadow and agree to retrieve the maypole for him.
Steal the Maypole
Approach Tachov in the evening and cautiously move towards the maypole. You'll encounter Henrik guarding it. You can either knock him out or, if your Speech skill is high enough, charm him.
Engage Henrik in conversation about Manka, and persuade him to leave his post for a secret date while you watch the maypole. Inform Manka at the inn about the date, then return to Henrik. Once he departs, climb the maypole and cut it down.
Report back to Olbram, who will commend your efforts and request one more task: to chase the sheep from Tachov's pasture and give Alshik a digestive potion.
At this juncture, you can either proceed with Olbram's plan or inform Prochek of the scheme, thereby concluding both quests and ending the rivalry's antics.
This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about choosing between Prochek and Olbram, and navigating the Mice and Frogs quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
