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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll have the opportunity to engage in side quests within two rival settlements, deciding whether to assist Prochek or Olbram in the Mice or Frogs quests. Here’s a detailed guide to help you navigate these quests effectively.

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

The animosity between the residents of Tachov and Zhelejov is palpable in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Fortunately, you can undertake most quests for both Prochek and Olbram, provided you handle your interactions wisely. This approach allows you to delve deeper into the backstory of both settlements. While achieving a perfect resolution for both sides is impossible, you'll still uncover more of the game's rich content.

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

If you're set on siding with one faction, the choice between Prochek and Olbram doesn't significantly alter your gameplay experience. Both aim to sabotage the other, and your decision may hinge on which task you find more entertaining.

Olbram's mission involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, requiring stealth and the ability to distract the guard at night. On the other hand, Prochek tasks you with painting Olbram's bull blue, which necessitates obtaining a dye recipe from Radovan and dye from the tailor.

Prochek's task might be more challenging, especially early in the game, due to potential limitations in groschen or Speech skills, which are crucial for navigating dialogue. If you're struggling, siding with Olbram could be the easier option.

Below, I'll detail how to proceed with both questlines.

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

To initiate the Mice quest, simply speak with Prochek in Tachov. If you can't locate him, head to the local inn and consult the innkeeper; he'll 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.

For the Lullaby Potion, you can either work as an apprentice blacksmith for Radovan in Tachov or use your charm to persuade him to share the recipe. You'll need oil, poppy, and thistle; the latter two can be harvested from the garden outside the apothecary in Troskowitz.

Once you've prepared the potion, head to Zhelejov, pour it into the bull's trough to make it sleep, then approach and paint the bull blue.

After completing the task, return to Prochek to report your success. You can then speak with Olbram to start 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 at night.

Steal the Maypole

Approach Tachov in the evening and stealthily move towards the maypole, where you'll find Henrik on guard. You can knock him out, but if your Speech skill is high enough, you can charm him instead.

Engage Henrik in conversation about Manka and propose setting up a secret date for them, offering to watch the maypole in his absence. After discussing the plan with Manka at the inn, return to Henrik. Once he leaves, climb the maypole and cut it down.

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

At this juncture, you can either continue with Olbram's quest or inform Prochek of his plans, effectively concluding both quests and halting the ongoing feud.
