Prochek or Olbram: Who to Help in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?

In the early stages of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, players are introduced to side quests in the settlements of Tachov and Zhelejov, where they must decide whether to assist Prochek or Olbram in the Mice or Frogs quests. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you make an informed decision and navigate these quests effectively.

Can You Help Both Prochek and Olbram in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?

The rivalry between Tachov and Zhelejov is central to *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, yet it's possible to complete the majority of the quests for both Prochek and Olbram. By skillfully managing your choices, you can delve deeper into the rich narratives of both settlements. Although it's impossible to achieve a positive outcome for both sides simultaneously, engaging with both questlines will enrich your understanding of the game's world.

Should You Choose Prochek or Olbram in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

If you prefer to align with just one faction, the choice between Prochek and Olbram is largely a matter of personal preference. Both characters seek to undermine the other, and your decision hinges on which task you find more engaging.

Olbram's quest involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, which requires stealth and possibly persuasion to distract the guard, Henrik. Conversely, Prochek's mission is to paint Olbram's bull blue, a task that demands acquiring a dye recipe from Radovan and dye from the tailor in Troskowitz.

In terms of difficulty, Prochek's task may be more challenging, especially early in the game, due to potential limitations in funds or Speech skills. If you're new to the game, aligning with Olbram might be the easier route.

How to Start Mice for Prochek in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To initiate the Mice quest, speak with Prochek in Tachov. If he's not immediately available, visit the local inn and talk to the innkeeper to locate him.

Get the Dye and Lullaby Potion

After meeting Prochek, travel to Troskowitz and consult Bartoshek the tailor for the dye. For the Lullaby Potion, you have two options: work as an apprentice blacksmith for Radovan in Tachov or use your charm to obtain the recipe from him. The potion requires oil, poppy, and thistle, which can be gathered from the garden outside the apothecary in Troskowitz.

Once you've prepared the potion, head to Zhelejov and administer it to the bull's trough to make it fall asleep. Then, approach and paint the bull. After completing the task, report back to Prochek. You can also speak with Olbram to start the Frogs quest and aid him in retaliating 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 steal the Tachov maypole for him.

Steal the Maypole

Approach Tachov at night and make your way to the maypole. You'll encounter Henrik, the guard. You can either knock him out or, if your Speech skill is high enough, charm him by discussing Manka and setting up a secret rendezvous. After convincing Henrik to leave, climb the maypole and cut it down.

Return to Olbram to report your success. He'll then ask you to chase sheep from Tachov's pasture and provide you with a digestive potion for Alshik. At this point, you can continue with Olbram's quest or inform Prochek about Olbram's plan, thereby concluding both quests and the feud between the settlements.
