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

In the early stages of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a choice between siding with Prochek or Olbram in the Mice or Frogs side quests. These quests take place in the settlements of Tachov and Zhelejov, where the local rivalry adds a layer of intrigue to your decisions. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate these quests effectively.

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

Despite the animosity between the people of Tachov and Zhelejov in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, it's possible to complete the majority of quests for both Prochek and Olbram. By carefully managing your actions, you can delve deeper into the backstory of both settlements. While it's not feasible to achieve a favorable outcome for both sides simultaneously, engaging with both questlines enriches your overall gaming experience.

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

If you decide to commit to one side, the choice between Prochek and Olbram doesn't significantly impact the game's outcome. Both aim to sabotage the other, and your decision boils down to which task you find more engaging.

Olbram's quest involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, which requires stealth and cunning to lure the guard away at night. On the other hand, Prochek's task is to paint Olbram's bull blue, necessitating a dye from the tailor and a lullaby potion from Radovan. Prochek's task can be more challenging, especially early in the game, due to potential limitations in groschen and Speech skills. If you're concerned about difficulty, siding 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, head to the local inn and talk to the innkeeper, who can direct you to him.

Get the Dye and Lullaby Potion

After meeting Prochek, travel to Troskowitz to purchase the dye from Bartoshek the tailor. For the lullaby potion, you'll need to work as an apprentice blacksmith for Radovan in Tachov or charm him into giving you the recipe, which requires oil, poppy, and thistle. These herbs can be found in the garden outside the apothecary in Troskowitz.

Once the potion is ready, head to Zhelejov and pour it into the bull's trough. When the bull falls asleep, approach and paint it blue. After completing the task, return to Prochek to report your success. You can then speak with Olbram to start the Frogs quest and help him retaliate against Tachov.

How to Start Frogs for Olbram in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To begin the Frogs quest, find Old Olbram near the meadow in Zhelejov and agree to steal the Tachov maypole.

Steal the Maypole

Approach Tachov at night and head towards the maypole. You'll encounter Henrik, the guard. You can either knock him out or, if your Speech skill is high enough, persuade him to leave by setting up a secret date with Manka. After speaking with Manka at the inn and arranging the date, return to Henrik. Once he leaves, climb the maypole and chop it down.

Report back to Olbram, who will commend you and request one more task: chasing the sheep out of Tachov's pasture and giving a digestive potion to Alshik. At this point, you can either complete this task or inform Prochek about Olbram's plan, thereby concluding both quests and ending the rivalry.
