In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the ongoing feud between Prochek and Olbram can be resolved during the Battle of the Frogs and Mice side quest. Here's a detailed guide on how to start the quest, navigate the conflict, and ultimately stop the feud for a more harmonious outcome.
How to Start Battle of Frogs and Mice in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To initiate the Battle of the Frogs and Mice side quest, you must first complete either the Mice or Frogs quests for Prochek and Olbram. Once you've completed one of these quests, the Battle of the Frogs and Mice quest will unlock. To begin, simply speak with Prochek in Tachov or Olbram in Zhelejov. After starting the quest, proceed to the designated pasture to continue.
Should You Side With Prochek or Olbram?
During the quest, Henry faces the decision of siding with either Prochek or Olbram. However, there's a way to end the feud altogether. To side with Prochek, talk to him in Tachov and say, "Let's get those Zhelejovites!" To side with Olbram, speak to him in Zhelejov and say, "Let's go and see those Tachovites!"
When negotiations take place at the pasture, avoid attempting to reconcile them prematurely, as this will trigger the fight earlier. Instead, if you succeed in a dialogue check during the negotiations, an opponent will retreat, simplifying the conflict. Winning the fight for either side will grant you some groschen.
How to Stop the Feud
To achieve a peaceful resolution, before heading to the pasture, ask Prochek or Olbram if they're willing to end the feud. Then, travel to Troskowitz to meet Baliff Thrush. Select the dialogue option, "You'd finally have some peace." Successfully passing the dialogue check allows you to access the Troskowitz Chronicle in the scribe's room. If persuasion fails, you can sneak in to read it, but remember to save your game beforehand.
Engage with the scribe and choose the dialogue, "Fecit, ordinem in regione ope clavi ferrei."
At the pasture, locate three oak trees aligned together. Inspect the middle tree to discover a nail. Your options with the nail are:
- Leaving it in the middle tree will split the pasture equally between Tachov and Zhelejov.
- Placing it in the west tree will allocate more land to Tachov.
- Placing it in the east tree will allocate more land to Zhelejov.
Your choice here doesn't significantly impact the outcome, so select based on your preference or remain neutral. After deciding, speak with Baliff Thrush again, who will agree to end the feud. Then, bring Prochek or Olbram to the pasture to finalize the resolution.
After resolving the feud, speak with Baliff Thrush to receive the Master Studies I book.
By following these steps, you can successfully stop the feud during the Battle of the Frogs and Mice side quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
