In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, early side quests in Tachov and Zhelejov offer a choice between aiding Prochek or Olbram. This guide clarifies whether you can help both and which choice is preferable.
Can You Help Both?
While Tachov and Zhelejov are at odds, it's possible to complete most quests for both Prochek and Olbram. This provides a richer understanding of both settlements' backstories. While a mutually beneficial outcome isn't achievable, exploring both questlines offers a more complete experience.
Prochek vs. Olbram: Which to Choose?
Ultimately, choosing between Prochek and Olbram has minimal impact on the overall narrative. Both aim to sabotage the other; the choice boils down to personal preference.
Olbram's task involves stealing Zhelejov's maypole, requiring nighttime stealth and potentially charming or incapacitating a guard. Prochek's quest involves painting Olbram's bull blue, demanding a recipe from Radovan and dye from the tailor. Prochek's quest might be slightly more challenging early in the game due to potential dialogue checks requiring sufficient groschen or Speech skill.
Prochek's Quest: "Mice"
Speak to Prochek in Tachov (or the innkeeper if he's unavailable). This initiates the "Mice" quest.
- Dye and Lullaby Potion: Purchase dye from Bartoshek the tailor in Troskowitz. Obtain the lullaby potion recipe from Radovan (either through apprenticeship or charm). Gather poppy and thistle from the apothecary garden in Troskowitz, combine with oil, and brew the potion. In Zhelejov, administer the potion to the bull, then paint it. Report back to Prochek.
Olbram's Quest: "Frogs"
Find Olbram near Zhelejov's meadow. Agreeing to retrieve the maypole starts "Frogs."
- Steal the Maypole: Go to Tachov at night. Either charm or incapacitate Henrik, the guard. If charming, speak to him about Manka, arrange a date, inform Manka at the inn, and return to Henrik. Once he leaves, chop down the maypole and return to Olbram. He'll then task you with chasing sheep from Tachov's pasture and delivering a digestive potion to Alshik. You can choose to complete this or inform Prochek, ending both quests.
This concludes the guide on Prochek, Olbram, and their respective quests. Further Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 strategies and information can be found elsewhere online.
