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

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, early game side quests in Tachov and Zhelejov offer a choice between aiding Prochek or Olbram. This guide details both questlines – "Mice" (Prochek) and "Frogs" (Olbram) – and explores whether you can help both or should choose one.

Can You Help Both?

While Tachov and Zhelejov are at odds, completing most quests for both Prochek and Olbram is achievable. This provides a more complete picture of the settlements' backstories. However, a completely favorable outcome for both is impossible.

Prochek vs. Olbram: Which to Choose?

Ultimately, choosing between Prochek and Olbram is largely a matter of preference. Both quests involve sabotage, and the "funnier" task is subjective.

Olbram's quest involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, requiring nighttime stealth and potentially charming a guard. Prochek's quest involves painting Olbram's bull blue, necessitating acquiring dye from a tailor and a lullaby potion recipe (either through apprenticeship or charm). Prochek's task might be more challenging early in the game, due to potential limitations in groschen and Speech skill.

Mice Quest (Prochek): A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Speak to Prochek in Tachov (or the innkeeper if you can't locate him).
2. Obtain dye from Bartoshek, the tailor in Troskowitz.
3. Acquire the lullaby potion recipe from Radovan (either work for him or charm him). The recipe needs oil, poppy, and thistle (found near the Troskowitz apothecary).
4. Brew the potion, head to Zhelejov, and use it on the bull.
5. Paint the bull and report back to Prochek. You can then optionally start the Frogs quest.

Frogs Quest (Olbram): A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Find Olbram near the Zhelejov meadow and accept his request to steal the Tachov maypole.
2. Go to Tachov at night and approach the maypole.
3. Either charm Henrik (the guard) with high Speech or knock him out. Charming involves speaking with him about Manka, arranging a date, and informing Manka.
4. Once Henrik leaves, cut down the maypole and return to Olbram.
5. Olbram will then request you chase sheep from a Tachov pasture and deliver a digestive potion to Alshik. You can complete this or inform Prochek to end the conflict.

This concludes the guide to the Mice and Frogs quests. For further Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 tips and strategies, including advice on killing Jakesh and optimal perk choices, consult additional resources.
