In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the expansive open-world beckons you to explore its vast landscapes, and what better way to do so than on horseback? With a variety of horse-related activities at your disposal, it's clear that riding is the way to go. Here’s how you can get your hands on the best horse in the game.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Best Horse
The best horse you can get in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is none other than Pebbles. However, unlocking Pebbles' full potential requires the Good Old Pebbles perk. While other horses in the game might have slightly superior stats, Pebbles stands out due to its affordability and ease of acquisition.
Once you unlock the perk, Pebbles boasts impressive stats:
- Stamina: 217
- Capacity: 353
- Speed: 53
- Courage: 12
How to Get Pebbles
You can obtain Pebbles early in the game by heading to Semine and speaking with the horse trader NPC. If your Speech skill is high enough, you can persuade the trader to give you Pebbles for free. Otherwise, you'll need to pay a small fee.
To unlock the Good Old Pebbles perk and maximize Pebbles' potential, you'll need to ride approximately 35 km with Pebbles. Once unlocked, the perk significantly boosts Pebbles' stats, placing it near the top of the list for the best horses in the game. Given the high cost and difficulty of acquiring other horses, sticking with Pebbles is a smart move.
Other Horse Options in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
If you're curious about other horse options, here are a few notable ones:
- Herring (available at Trosky Castle) - Free after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls," but it lags slightly behind Pebbles in capacity and speed. Herring also requires a perk to reach its full potential.
- Kincsern (available in Kuttenberg) - Boasts the highest stamina (235) and speed (60) in the game, but comes with a hefty price tag of 5,260 groschen.
- Pisek Lad (available in Kuttenberg) - An all-rounder with better speed and courage than Pebbles, but it costs a whopping 7,560 groschen.
As you can see, the marginal stat improvements offered by these other horses come at a steep cost, making Pebbles the most practical and efficient choice.
