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

In the early stages of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter side quests in two different settlements, setting you up to choose between helping Prochek or Olbram in the Mice or Frogs quests. Here's a detailed breakdown to help you decide.

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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the rivalry between the people of Tachov and Zhelejov is palpable, yet you can navigate the majority of quests for both Prochek and Olbram if you're strategic. This approach allows you to delve deeper into the backstory of both settlements. While a perfect resolution for both sides isn't achievable, engaging with both quests enriches your game experience.

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

If you're leaning towards supporting just one side, the choice between Prochek and Olbram doesn't significantly impact the game's outcome. Both seek to undermine the other, and your decision might boil down to which task you find more amusing or aligns with your playstyle.

Olbram's quest involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, a task that requires nighttime stealth and possibly distracting the guard. On the other hand, Prochek's mission is to paint Olbram’s bull blue, which necessitates acquiring a dye recipe from Radovan and purchasing the dye from a tailor.

In terms of difficulty, Prochek's task might be more challenging, especially early in the game when resources like groschen and high Speech skills might be limited. Choosing Olbram's side might be easier under these conditions.

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

To initiate the Mice quest, simply talk to Prochek in Tachov. If he's not immediately visible, visit the local inn and ask the innkeeper about him.

Get the Dye and Lullaby Potion

After meeting Prochek, travel to Troskowitz and purchase the dye from Bartoshek the tailor. For the Lullaby Potion, you'll need to either apprentice under Radovan, the blacksmith in Tachov, or use your charm to acquire the recipe from him. The potion requires oil, poppy, and thistle, which can be found in the garden outside the apothecary in Troskowitz.

Once the potion is ready, head to Zhelejov, pour it into the bull's trough to make it fall asleep, and then paint it blue. After completing this task, return to Prochek and inform him of your success. You can then proceed to start the Frogs quest with Olbram.

How to Start Frogs for Olbram in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To begin the Frogs quest, locate Olbram in Zhelejov near the meadow and agree to steal the Tachov maypole.

Steal the Maypole

Approach the maypole in Tachov at night. Henrik will be guarding it. You can either knock him out or, if your Speech skill is high enough, charm him. Engage Henrik in conversation about Manka, and set up a secret date for them, allowing you to watch over the maypole. After arranging the date 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 request one more task: chasing sheep out of the Tachov pasture and administering a digestive potion to Alshik. At this juncture, you can either continue with Olbram's quest or inform Prochek about the plan, effectively ending both quests and the rivalry.
