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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, early gameplay allows you to engage with side quests in two distinct settlements, presenting you with the choice between helping Prochek or Olbram in the Mice or Frogs quests. Here's a detailed guide to help you make the best decision and navigate through these quests effectively.

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

The tension between the people of Tachov and Zhelejov runs deep in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Fortunately, you can undertake the majority of quests for both Prochek and Olbram if you manage your choices carefully. This approach allows you to immerse yourself in the rich backstories of both settlements. Although achieving a favorable outcome for both sides is impossible, exploring both questlines enriches your overall gaming experience.

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

If you prefer to commit to one side, the choice between Prochek and Olbram is largely a matter of personal preference and the fun factor of the tasks involved. Olbram's quest involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, which entails sneaking around at night and cleverly distracting the guard. On the other hand, Prochek's mission requires you to paint Olbram's bull blue, necessitating a trip to Radovan for a recipe and to the tailor for dye.

In terms of difficulty, Prochek's task may be more challenging, especially early in the game, as it might require more groschen or higher Speech skills to navigate certain dialogue options. If you're looking for an easier path, siding with Olbram might be the way to go.

Below, we'll delve into both questlines in more detail to help you make an informed decision.

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

To initiate the Mice quest, simply talk to Prochek in Tachov. If you can't find him, head to the local inn and ask the innkeeper about his whereabouts.

Get the Dye and Lullaby Potion

After speaking with Prochek, travel to Troskowitz and visit Bartoshek the tailor to buy the dye. For the Lullaby Potion, you'll need to either apprentice under Radovan, the blacksmith in Tachov, or charm the recipe out of him. The potion requires oil, poppy, and thistle, which you can find in the garden next to the apothecary in Troskowitz.

Once you've brewed the potion, head to Zhelejov and pour it into the bull's trough. When the bull falls asleep, approach it and start painting. After completing this task, return to Prochek to report your success. This is also a good time to speak with Olbram to start the Frogs quest and help him get revenge on Tachov.

How to Start Frogs for Olbram in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Find Old Olbram near the meadow in Zhelejov and agree to retrieve the maypole to begin the Frogs quest. This will set you on a mission to steal the Tachov maypole at night.

Steal the Maypole

Approach the maypole in Tachov during the evening. 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 persuade him to leave his post for a secret date. After arranging this with Manka at the inn, return to Henrik. Once he departs, climb the maypole and cut it down.

Report back to Olbram, who will commend your efforts and request one more task: 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, thereby concluding both quests and the ongoing rivalry.
