Should You Aid Prochek Or Olbram In KCD2? (Mice & Frogs Quest)

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, early side quests in Tachov and Zhelejov offer a choice between aiding Prochek or Olbram. This guide explores both options, the "Mice" and "Frogs" quests, detailing how to complete each and 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 feasible. This approach unlocks more backstory, though a fully favorable outcome for both isn't achievable.

Prochek vs. Olbram: Which to Choose?

Choosing between Prochek and Olbram ultimately comes down to personal preference; neither choice significantly impacts the game's progression. Both aim to sabotage the other, making the selection a matter of enjoying one task over the other.

Olbram's quest involves stealing Zhelejov's maypole, requiring nighttime stealth and potentially charming a guard. Prochek's quest demands painting Olbram's bull blue, necessitating a recipe from Radovan and dye from the tailor. Prochek's task might prove more challenging early in the game, due to potential groschen or Speech skill requirements.

Detailed Questlines:

Mice for Prochek:

1. Speak to Prochek in Tachov (or the innkeeper if he's unavailable).
2. Obtain dye from Bartoshek the tailor in Troskowitz.
3. Acquire a lullaby potion recipe (either work for Radovan or charm it from him). Gather oil, poppy, and thistle (found near Troskowitz apothecary). Brew the potion.
4. In Zhelejov, administer the potion to the bull, then paint it.
5. Report back to Prochek. You can then choose to start Olbram's quest.

Frogs for Olbram:

1. Find Olbram near Zhelejov's meadow and accept his quest.
2. Steal the Tachov maypole at night. You can knock out the guard, Henrik, or charm him with sufficient Speech. Charm him by inquiring about Manka, arrange a date for them, and then retrieve the maypole.
3. Return to Olbram. He'll then request chasing sheep from a Tachov pasture and delivering a digestive potion to Alshik.
4. Complete the task, or inform Prochek of Olbram's actions to conclude both quests.
