In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, early game side quests in Tachov and Zhelejov offer players a choice between aiding Prochek or Olbram. This guide details both questlines, "Mice" and "Frogs," and explores whether completing both is possible.
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. This provides a more comprehensive understanding of the settlements' backstories, though a completely favorable outcome for both is impossible.
Prochek vs. Olbram: Which to Choose?
Ultimately, choosing between Prochek and Olbram doesn't significantly impact the game's progression. Both aim to sabotage the other; the choice 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, demanding dye from the tailor and a lullaby potion recipe from Radovan. Prochek's quest might prove more challenging early on, due to potential speech checks and the need for groschen.
Below, both questlines are detailed.
How to Start "Mice" for Prochek:
Speak to Prochek in Tachov (or the innkeeper if he's unavailable).
Obtaining Dye and Lullaby Potion:
Purchase dye from Bartoshek the tailor in Troskowitz. Acquire the lullaby potion recipe from Radovan (either through apprenticeship or charm). The recipe requires oil, poppy, and thistle (found near Troskowitz's apothecary). Brew the potion, apply it to the bull in Zhelejov, paint the bull, and report back to Prochek. You can then initiate Olbram's quest.
How to Start "Frogs" for Olbram:
Find Olbram near Zhelejov's meadow. Agree to steal Tachov's maypole.
Stealing the Maypole:
Proceed to Tachov at night. Either charm Henrik (the guard) with high Speech or knock him out. Persuade Henrik to leave for a date with Manka, then chop down the maypole. Report to Olbram, who will then request you chase sheep from Tachov's pasture and deliver a digestive potion to Alshik. Alternatively, you can inform Prochek of Olbram's plan to conclude both quests.
This concludes the guide to Prochek, Olbram, and their respective quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Consult other resources for further game tips, such as optimal perk choices.
