In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, numerous side quests demand crucial decisions impacting NPCs' fates. This guide focuses on the Cabbage Thief quest and the dilemma surrounding Sauerkraut Pepa.
Initiating the Cabbage Thief Quest
Begin the Cabbage Thief side quest by conversing with Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. He's usually found wandering the village during the day or within the tavern. Inquire about recent town events, and he'll reveal the cabbage thefts, directing you to the Grocer south of Troskowitz to officially start the quest.
Locating the Thief
Follow the trail of scattered cabbages leading from the grocer towards Nebakov Fortress. This path winds through a riverside area, eventually leading to a cart overflowing with cabbages. Sauerkraut Pepa, the culprit, is nearby.
The Sauerkraut Pepa Decision: Spare, Kill, or Turn In?
When confronting Pepa, you face three choices:
-
Spare him: Pepa will reward you with sauerkraut, and even cook more if you provide him with additional cabbages. His sauerkraut is a non-perishable food item providing substantial healing and nourishment.
-
Kill him: This results in a reward from Bailiff Thrush.
-
Turn him in: Similar to killing him, this also yields a reward of 789 groschen from Bailiff Thrush.
The optimal choice depends on your immediate needs. The healing benefits of the sauerkraut might outweigh the monetary reward, especially considering the ease of acquiring money through dice games with the proper strategy.
