In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, exploring the vast open world and engaging in various horse-related activities are central to the gameplay experience. It's clear that traversing this expansive world on foot isn't the most efficient way to get around. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to obtain the best horse in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Best Horse
The undisputed champion of horses in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is Pebbles. To unlock Pebbles' full potential, you'll need to acquire the Good Old Pebbles perk. While there are horses in the game with marginally superior stats, Pebbles stands out due to its cost-effectiveness and accessibility.
Once you've unlocked the perk, Pebbles boasts impressive stats:
- Stamina: 217
- Capacity: 353
- Speed: 53
- Courage: 12
How to Get Pebbles
You can acquire Pebbles early in the game by visiting Semine and speaking with the horse trader NPC. If your Speech skill is sufficiently high, you can persuade the trader to give you Pebbles for free. Otherwise, you'll need to pay a modest fee.
To unlock Pebbles' full potential, you must ride approximately 35 km with Pebbles, after which the Good Old Pebbles perk will become available. Once unlocked, Pebbles' stats will receive a significant boost, placing it among the top horses in the game. Given the high cost and difficulty of obtaining other top-tier horses, Pebbles remains the most practical choice, making those slight stat increases from other horses hardly worth the effort.
Other Horse Options in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
If you're interested in exploring other horse options, consider the following:
- Herring (Trosky Castle): Available for free after completing the quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls," Herring is a solid choice, though it lags slightly behind Pebbles in capacity and speed. Unlocking a specific perk for Herring is necessary to maximize its potential.
- Kincsern (Kuttenberg): With the highest stamina (235) and speed (60) in the game, Kincsern is a top performer, but it comes with a hefty price tag of 5,260 groschen.
- Pisek Lad (Kuttenberg): Another excellent all-rounder, Pisek Lad surpasses Pebbles in speed and courage, but it's valued at a steep 7,560 groschen.
As you can see, the other options, while offering marginal improvements, come with exorbitant prices, making Pebbles the most economical and practical choice for most players.
