How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To kick off the Cabbage Thief side quest, head to Troskowitz and seek out Bailiff Thrush. You can find him wandering the village during daylight hours or inside the tavern.

Cabbage Thief Location

To track down the thief, follow the objective marker leading to scattered cabbages. The trail will guide you along a road toward Nebakov Fortress. Keep following it until you veer onto a less noticeable path by the river. There, you'll spot a cart brimming with cabbages. Just beyond it, you'll confront Sauerkraut Pepa, the cabbage thief.

Should You Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?

Upon confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you face three choices: spare him, kill him, or turn him in. If you decide to spare him, Pepa will reward you with sauerkraut and offer to cook more if you supply him with cabbages. His sauerkraut is a valuable item that never spoils and provides substantial healing and nourishment.

Alternatively, if you choose to kill or turn him in, Bailiff Thrush will compensate you with 789 groschen. Your decision hinges on whether you prioritize immediate financial gain or the long-term benefits of Pepa's healing items. Personally, the healing items proved more beneficial, especially considering the ease of earning money through dice games with the right strategy.
