Should You Help Prochek or Olbram in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? (Mice & Frogs Quest Guide)

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, early side quests in Tachov and Zhelejov offer a choice between aiding Prochek or Olbram. This guide details both questlines, "Mice" and "Frogs," and explores whether it's possible to help both.

Can You Help Both?

While Tachov and Zhelejov are at odds, completing most quests for both Prochek and Olbram is achievable. This provides a richer understanding of both settlements' backstories. However, a completely favorable outcome for both isn't possible.

Prochek or Olbram: Which to Choose?

Choosing one side over the other doesn't significantly impact the overall narrative. Both involve sabotaging the other, and the selection boils down to personal preference.

Prochek's "Mice" Quest:

Initiate this quest by speaking with Prochek in Tachov (or the innkeeper if you can't locate him). The task involves painting Olbram's bull blue.

• Gathering Supplies: Purchase dye from Bartoshek the tailor in Troskowitz. Obtain a lullaby potion recipe from Radovan (either through apprenticeship or persuasion). The recipe requires oil, poppy, and thistle (found near the Troskowitz apothecary).

• Completing the Task: Brew the potion, administer it to the bull in Zhelejov, paint the bull, and report back to Prochek.

Olbram's "Frogs" Quest:

Find Olbram near the Zhelejov meadow. He requests the theft of Tachov's maypole.

• Stealing the Maypole: Navigate to Tachov at night. Henrik guards the maypole. You can either knock him out or (with sufficient Speech) persuade him to leave by arranging a date with Manka. Once Henrik is gone, chop down the maypole.

• Further Tasks: Olbram will then request you chase sheep from a Tachov pasture and deliver a digestive potion to Alshik. Alternatively, you can inform Prochek of Olbram's plan to conclude both quests.

Conclusion:

Both questlines offer unique challenges and rewards. Prochek's quest might prove slightly more difficult early on due to potential Speech checks and resource requirements. The choice ultimately depends on personal preference and play style. Remember to check The Escapist for further Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 guides and strategies.
