Unlocking the Best Steed in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: A Guide to Acquiring Pebbles
Exploring the vast open world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is far easier on horseback. Walking everywhere is simply inefficient. This guide details how to obtain the game's best horse: Pebbles.
Why Pebbles Reigns Supreme
While other horses boast marginally better stats, Pebbles offers the best combination of performance, acquisition cost, and ease of obtaining. Unlocking the "Good Old Pebbles" perk significantly boosts her stats, making her a top contender.
Pebbles' Enhanced Stats (with Perk):
- Stamina: 217
- Capacity: 353
- Speed: 53
- Courage: 12
Acquiring Pebbles:
Early in the game, travel to Semine and locate the horse trader. A high Speech skill allows you to acquire Pebbles for free; otherwise, a modest fee is required.
Crucially, ride Pebbles for approximately 35 kilometers to unlock the "Good Old Pebbles" perk. This unlocks her full potential, making her stats highly competitive. The cost savings and ease of acquisition far outweigh the minor stat advantages of other, more expensive horses.
Alternative Mounts:
For players seeking alternatives, consider these options, but be warned: their superior stats come at a significantly higher cost and often require additional perk unlocks:
- Herring (Trosky Castle): Obtained for free after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls," Herring lags slightly behind Pebbles in capacity and speed. A perk unlock is needed to maximize its potential.
- Kincsern (Kuttenberg): Boasting the game's highest stamina (235) and speed (60), Kincsern commands a hefty price of 5,260 groschen.
- Pisek Lad (Kuttenberg): A well-rounded horse exceeding Pebbles in speed and courage, but its 7,560 groschen price tag makes it a less practical choice.
The significant price difference for minimal stat improvements solidifies Pebbles as the most efficient and valuable horse in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
