In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, early side quests in Tachov and Zhelejov offer a choice between aiding Prochek or Olbram. This guide clarifies whether helping both is possible and which choice is preferable.
Can You Help Both?
While Tachov and Zhelejov are at odds, cleverly navigating the "Mice" and "Frogs" quests allows completion of most tasks for both Prochek and Olbram. This reveals more backstory, although a mutually beneficial outcome isn't achievable.
Prochek vs. Olbram: Which to Choose?
Ultimately, choosing between Prochek and Olbram is inconsequential. Both aim to sabotage each other; the decision boils down to personal preference for the quest's mechanics.
Olbram's task involves a nighttime maypole theft from Zhelejov, requiring stealth and potentially charming a guard. Prochek's mission involves painting Olbram's bull blue, demanding dye from the tailor and a lullaby potion recipe from Radovan.
Prochek's quest might be more challenging early in the game, depending on your groschen and Speech skill. Olbram's quest may prove easier for players lacking resources.
Prochek's "Mice" Quest:
Initiate the quest by speaking with Prochek in Tachov (or the innkeeper if you can't find him).
- Dye and Lullaby Potion: Purchase dye from Bartoshek the tailor in Troskowitz. Obtain the lullaby potion recipe from Radovan (either through apprenticeship or charm). Gather poppy and thistle from the Troskowitz apothecary garden, then brew the potion. In Zhelejov, administer the potion to the bull, paint it, and report back to Prochek.
Olbram's "Frogs" Quest:
Locate Olbram near Zhelejov's meadow and agree to steal the Tachov maypole.
- Maypole Theft: Proceed to Tachov at night. Either knock out or charm Henrik, the guard. Arrange a date for Henrik and Manka (at the inn), then retrieve the maypole once Henrik leaves. Report to Olbram, who will then task you with chasing sheep from Tachov's pasture and delivering a digestive potion to Alshik. You can choose to complete this or inform Prochek, concluding both quests.
This concludes the guide on the "Mice" and "Frogs" quests. For further Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 strategies and information (like whether to kill Jakesh or optimal perk choices), consult The Escapist.
