Prochek or Olbram: Who to Help in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? (Mice & Frogs Quest)

In the early stages of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, players can engage in side quests within two rival settlements, choosing to support either Prochek or Olbram in the Mice or Frogs quests. Here's a detailed guide to help you navigate these choices and maximize your gameplay experience.

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

Despite the deep-seated animosity between the people of Tachov and Zhelejov in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, it's possible to complete the majority of quests for both Prochek and Olbram if you strategize effectively. This approach allows you to delve deeper into the lore and narratives of both settlements. Although you won't achieve a perfect resolution for both factions, engaging with both sides enriches your understanding of the game's world.

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

If you're set on aligning with just one side, the choice between Prochek and Olbram doesn't significantly impact the game's outcome. Both are engaged in a tit-for-tat rivalry, with each task designed to sabotage the other. The decision largely hinges on which task you find more engaging.

Olbram's quest involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, which requires stealth and the ability to distract the guard at night. On the other hand, Prochek's task is to paint Olbram’s bull blue, necessitating a recipe from Radovan and dye from a tailor. Prochek's challenge might be more demanding, especially early in the game, due to potential financial and skill constraints. However, siding with Olbram could be more straightforward if these limitations are a concern.

Below, I'll detail both questlines to help you make an informed decision.

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

To initiate the Mice quest, simply speak with Prochek in Tachov. If he's not immediately available, a visit to the local inn and a chat with the innkeeper should point you in the right direction.

Get the Dye and Lullaby Potion

After your conversation with Prochek, head to Troskowitz to meet Bartoshek the tailor and purchase the necessary dye. For the Lullaby Potion, you can either apprentice under Radovan, the blacksmith in Tachov, or use your charm to obtain the recipe from him. You'll need oil, poppy, and thistle; the latter two can be found in the garden outside the Troskowitz apothecary.

Once you've prepared the potion, travel to Zhelejov and pour it into the bull's trough to put it to sleep. Then, approach the bull and begin painting it blue. After completing the task, return to Prochek to report your success. This also opens the opportunity to start the Frogs quest with Olbram, allowing you to assist him in retaliating against Tachov.

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 for him.

Steal the Maypole

Approach Tachov in the evening 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. Engage Henrik in conversation about Manka and set up a secret rendezvous, which will distract him from his post. After informing Manka at the inn about the date, return to Henrik. Once he leaves, climb the maypole and cut it down.

Report back to Olbram, who will commend your efforts and request one more task: to chase the sheep out of the Tachov pasture and administer a digestive potion to Alshik. At this juncture, you can either continue with Olbram's plan or inform Prochek of Olbram's intentions, effectively concluding both quests and the feud between the two.
