Prochek or Olbram: Who to Help in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter an intriguing conflict between two settlements, Tachov and Zhelejov, where you can engage in side quests involving Prochek and Olbram. If you're wondering whether to help Prochek or Olbram in the Mice or Frogs quests, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.

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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the rivalry between Tachov and Zhelejov is palpable, yet you can navigate most quests for both Prochek and Olbram if you're strategic. This approach allows you to delve deeper into the narratives of both settlements. While you can't achieve a perfect outcome for both sides, helping both will enrich your gameplay experience by unveiling more of what the game has to offer.

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

If you're inclined to pick just one side, the choice between Prochek and Olbram doesn't significantly impact the overall game. Both seek to undermine the other, and your decision might hinge on which task you find more enjoyable or suitable for your playstyle.

Olbram's quest involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, requiring you to sneak out at night and distract the guard. Meanwhile, Prochek's task is to paint Olbram's bull blue, necessitating a recipe from Radovan and dye from the tailor. Prochek's task can be more challenging, especially early in the game, due to potential resource constraints and dialogue checks. If these hurdles seem daunting, siding with Olbram might be easier.

Below, I'll detail both questlines to help you make an informed decision.

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

To initiate the Mice quest, speak with Prochek in Tachov. If you can't locate him, the innkeeper at the local inn can point you in the right direction.

Get the Dye and Lullaby Potion

After speaking with Prochek, head to Troskowitz to buy dye from Bartoshek the tailor. For the Lullaby Potion, you'll need to either work as an apprentice blacksmith under Radovan in Tachov or charm the recipe out of him. The potion requires oil, poppy, and thistle, the latter two of which can be harvested from the garden outside the Troskowitz apothecary.

Once the potion is ready, head to Zhelejov, pour it into the bull's trough to make it fall asleep, and then paint it blue. After completing the task, return to Prochek to report your success, and you can also start the Frogs quest with Olbram for a chance to help him retaliate against Tachov.

How to Start Frogs for Olbram in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To begin the Frogs quest, find Olbram in Zhelejov near the meadow and agree to steal the Tachov maypole for him.

Steal the Maypole

Visit Tachov at night and approach the maypole cautiously. Henrik guards it, and you can either knock him out or use your Speech skill to charm him. Engage Henrik in conversation about Manka, and persuade him to leave for a secret date you'll arrange. After setting up the date 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: to chase the sheep out of the Tachov pasture and administer a digestive potion to Alshik. At this juncture, you can either proceed with Olbram's plan or inform Prochek, thereby concluding both quests and halting their feud.
