In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, side quests abound, and the choices you make can significantly impact the fate of NPCs. If you're curious about how to handle Sauerkraut Pepa during the Cabbage Thief quest, here's your guide.
How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To kick off the Cabbage Thief side quest, head to Troskowitz and seek out Baliff Thrush. You can typically find him wandering the village during the day or relaxing in the local tavern. Strike up a conversation and inquire about recent events, and he'll mention the ongoing issue of stolen cabbages. He'll then point you toward the Grocer NPC, located just south of Troskowitz. Chat with the Grocer to officially start the Cabbage Thief quest.
Cabbage Thief Location
Once you're on the quest, follow the objective marker. You'll notice a trail of cabbages scattered on the ground, leading you along a road towards Nebakov Fortress. Keep following this trail, and you'll be directed down a less obvious path that crosses a river. There, you'll spot a cart brimming with cabbages. Not far from the cart, you'll encounter Sauerkraut Pepa, the notorious cabbage thief.
Should You Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?
When confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you face three choices: spare him and let him go, kill him, or turn him in to the authorities.
Opting to spare him comes with its perks. Sauerkraut Pepa will gift you some sauerkraut and offer to cook more if you bring him cabbages. His Sauerkrauts are invaluable—they never spoil, provide substantial healing, and offer nourishment, making them a fantastic asset in your inventory.
Conversely, if you decide to kill or turn him in, you'll receive a reward from Baliff Thrush—789 groschen, to be exact. The choice hinges on your current needs: if you're short on cash, the groschen might be tempting. However, if you prioritize healing items, sparing Pepa could be more beneficial, especially considering how easy it is to earn money through dice games with the right strategies.
That wraps up everything you need to know about dealing with Sauerkraut Pepa in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips, tricks, and comprehensive guides on the game, including details on romance options and achieving the best ending, be sure to check out The Escapist.
