Should You Help Prochek or Olbram in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? (Mice & Frogs Quest Guide)

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, early side quests in Tachov and Zhelejov offer a choice between aiding Prochek or Olbram. This guide details both questlines, "Mice" and "Frogs," and explores whether completing both is possible.

Can You Help Both?

While Tachov and Zhelejov are locked in conflict, cleverly navigating the quests allows you to largely complete both Prochek and Olbram's tasks. Although a win-win isn't achievable, this approach maximizes the game's backstory and content.

Prochek vs. Olbram: Which to Choose?

Ultimately, choosing between Prochek and Olbram has minimal impact on the overall narrative. Both aim to sabotage the other; the decision boils down to personal preference.

Olbram's "Frogs" quest involves a nighttime maypole theft from Tachov, requiring stealth and potentially charm to distract the guard. Prochek's "Mice" quest necessitates painting Olbram's bull blue, demanding dye from the tailor and a lullaby potion recipe from Radovan (requiring either apprenticeship or high Speech).

"Mice" presents a slightly higher difficulty, particularly early in the game, due to potential groschen and Speech skill requirements. Olbram's quest might prove easier for less experienced players.

Prochek's "Mice" Quest:

Begin by speaking with Prochek in Tachov (or the innkeeper if he's unavailable). This involves:

• Obtaining Dye: Purchase dye from Bartoshek the tailor in Troskowitz.
• Brewing the Lullaby Potion: Acquire the recipe from Radovan (apprenticeship or charm). Gather oil, poppy, and thistle (found near the Troskowitz apothecary).
• Painting the Bull: Administer the potion to the bull in Zhelejov, then paint it.
• Completion: Report back to Prochek. You can also subsequently start Olbram's quest.

Olbram's "Frogs" Quest:

Find Olbram near the Zhelejov meadow. The quest involves:

• Stealing the Maypole: Navigate to Tachov at night. Subdue or charm the guard, Henrik (requires high Speech), using a fabricated date with Manka as a distraction. Chop down the maypole.
• Further Tasks: Olbram will request additional tasks, including chasing sheep from a Tachov pasture and delivering a digestive potion to Alshik.
• Quest Conclusion: Complete the tasks or inform Prochek of Olbram's plans to conclude both questlines.
