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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter the intriguing side quests known as Mice and Frogs early in your journey, allowing you to engage with two rival settlements. If you're torn between helping Prochek or Olbram, here's a comprehensive guide to help you make an informed decision.

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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the rivalry between the inhabitants of Tachov and Zhelejov is palpable. Fortunately, you have the flexibility to undertake the majority of quests for both Prochek and Olbram. By carefully navigating your choices, you can delve deeper into the rich backstories of these settlements. Although it's impossible to achieve a positive outcome for both factions, exploring both sides will enrich your understanding of the game's world.

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

If you're inclined to support just one side, the decision between Prochek and Olbram doesn't significantly impact the overall story. Both leaders aim to undermine the other, and your choice essentially boils down to which task you find more engaging.

Olbram's mission involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, which requires stealth and cunning to distract the guard at night. Conversely, Prochek asks you to paint Olbram's bull blue, a task that involves acquiring a dye recipe from Radovan and the dye itself from a tailor.

In terms of difficulty, Prochek's quest might pose more of a challenge, especially if you're tackling it early in the game. Limited groschen and lower Speech skills could make navigating the necessary dialogues tricky. Therefore, siding with Olbram might be the easier route initially.

Below, we'll explore both questlines in detail to help you decide which path to take.

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

To initiate the Mice quest, simply speak with Prochek in Tachov. If you struggle to find him, head to the local inn and ask the innkeeper, who can point you in the right direction.

Get the Dye and Lullaby Potion

After your conversation with Prochek, travel to Troskowitz and visit Bartoshek the tailor to buy the dye needed for the task.

To obtain the Lullaby Potion, you have two options: work as an apprentice blacksmith under Radovan in Tachov or use your charm to persuade him to share the recipe. The potion requires oil, poppy, and thistle, which you can gather from the garden next to the apothecary in Troskowitz.

Once you've crafted the potion, head to Zhelejov and pour it into the bull's trough. When the bull falls asleep, approach it and start painting.

After completing the task, report back to Prochek. You can also speak with Olbram to begin the Frogs side quest and help him retaliate against Tachov.

How to Start Frogs for Olbram in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To kick off the Frogs quest, find Old Olbram near the meadow in Zhelejov and agree to help him steal the Tachov maypole.

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 into leaving his post.

Engage Henrik in conversation about Manka, and you can set up a secret rendezvous for them, allowing you to watch over the maypole. After arranging the meeting with Manka at the inn, return to Henrik. Once he departs, climb the maypole and cut it down.

Inform Olbram of your success, and he'll commend you and request one more task: chase the sheep from Tachov's pasture and administer a digestive potion to Alshik.

At this juncture, you can either continue with Olbram's plan or inform Prochek, effectively ending both quests and halting the ongoing feud.
