In the early stages of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, players are presented with the opportunity to engage in side quests in two different settlements, involving a rivalry between Prochek and Olbram. If you're deciding whether to assist Prochek with the Mice quest or Olbram with the Frogs quest, here's a detailed guide to help you navigate these choices.
Can You Help Both Prochek and Olbram in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
The animosity between the people of Tachov and Zhelejov is a central theme in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Fortunately, players can complete most of the quests for both Prochek and Olbram by carefully managing their actions. This approach allows you to delve deeper into the rich backstories of both settlements. While a perfect resolution for both sides is unattainable, completing quests for both characters enriches your gaming experience and offers a broader view of the game's world.
Should You Choose Prochek or Olbram in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
If you prefer to align with only one faction, the choice between Prochek and Olbram doesn't significantly impact the overall outcome. Both characters seek to undermine the other, and your decision may hinge on which task you find more engaging.
Olbram's quest requires you to steal the Zhelejov maypole, which involves a nighttime stealth operation and distracting the guard. On the other hand, Prochek's task involves painting Olbram's bull blue, which requires acquiring a dye recipe from Radovan and dye from a tailor.
In terms of difficulty, Prochek's task may be more challenging, particularly early in the game, due to potential dialogue checks and resource constraints. If you're struggling with resources or dialogue skills, aligning with Olbram might be a more straightforward choice. Regardless of your decision, 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 you can't locate him, visit the local inn and ask the innkeeper for his whereabouts.
Get the Dye and Lullaby Potion
After talking to Prochek, head to Troskowitz to meet Bartoshek the tailor and purchase the necessary dye. For the Lullaby Potion, you can either work as an apprentice blacksmith for Radovan in Tachov or charm the recipe out of him. The potion requires oil, poppy, and thistle, which can be gathered from the garden outside the apothecary in Troskowitz.
Once you've crafted the potion, travel to Zhelejov and pour it into the bull's trough to put it to sleep. Approach the sleeping bull and start painting it blue. 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 his revenge 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 help him steal the Tachov maypole.
Steal the Maypole
Approach Tachov at night and quietly make your way to the maypole, where Henrik stands guard. 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 rendezvous, which you'll set up for him. 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 to inform him of your success. He'll then request one more task: chasing sheep out of Tachov's pasture and administering a digestive potion to Alshik. At this juncture, you can either continue with Olbram's plan or inform Prochek about it, effectively ending both quests and stopping the rivalry.
