In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, numerous side quests demand crucial decisions impacting NPCs' fates. This guide focuses on the Cabbage Thief quest and the dilemma surrounding Sauerkraut Pepa.
Initiating the Cabbage Thief Quest:
Begin by conversing with Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. He's usually found wandering the village during the day or within the tavern. Inquire about recent town events, and he'll reveal the cabbage thefts, directing you to the grocer south of Troskowitz to officially start the quest.
Locating the Thief:
Follow the trail of scattered cabbages leading towards Nebakov Fortress. This path will guide you down a less-obvious route through the river, eventually leading to a cabbage-laden cart. Sauerkraut Pepa, the culprit, is just beyond the cart.
The Sauerkraut Pepa Decision:
When confronting Pepa, you have three choices:
-
Spare him: Pepa will reward you with sauerkraut and promise to prepare more if you provide him with cabbages. This non-perishable food offers significant healing and nourishment.
-
Kill him: Results in a reward from Bailiff Thrush.
-
Turn him in: Also results in a reward from Bailiff Thrush.
Both killing and turning in Pepa yield 789 groschen. The decision hinges on your immediate needs: the healing properties of the sauerkraut might outweigh the monetary reward, especially considering the ease of acquiring money through dice games with the right strategy.
This concludes the guide on Sauerkraut Pepa in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For further game insights, including romance options and optimal endings, consult additional resources.
