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," explaining how to complete them and whether helping both is possible.

Can You Help Both Prochek and Olbram?

While Tachov and Zhelejov are at odds, cleverly navigating the quests allows completion of most tasks for both Prochek and Olbram. While a win-win scenario isn't achievable, exploring both sides enriches the game's narrative.

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 "Frogs" quest involves stealing Zhelejov's maypole, requiring nighttime stealth and potentially charming a guard. Prochek's "Mice" quest involves painting Olbram's bull blue, needing dye from the tailor and a lullaby potion (requiring ingredients and potentially charming Radovan). "Mice" might prove more challenging early in the game due to potential speech checks and cost of materials.

How to Start "Mice" for Prochek:

Speak to Prochek in Tachov (or the innkeeper if you can't locate him).

Completing "Mice":

1. Obtain Dye: Purchase dye from Bartoshek the tailor in Troskowitz.
2. Acquire Lullaby Potion: Either work for Radovan or charm the recipe from him. Gather oil, poppy, and thistle (found near Troskowitz apothecary). Brew the potion.
3. Sedate and Paint: In Zhelejov, administer the potion to the bull, then paint it.
4. Report to Prochek: Inform Prochek of the task's completion.

How to Start "Frogs" for Olbram:

Find Olbram near the meadow in Zhelejov and agree to retrieve the maypole.

Completing "Frogs":

1. Steal the Maypole: Go to Tachov at night. You can knock out or charm Henrik, the guard. Charming him involves speaking to him about Manka, arranging a date, and then taking the maypole once he's gone.
2. Report to Olbram: Inform Olbram of the stolen maypole. He'll then task you with chasing sheep from Tachov's pasture and delivering a digestive potion to Alshik. You can choose to complete this or inform Prochek, ending both quests.

This concludes the guide on Prochek, Olbram, and their respective quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Further game information, such as optimal perk choices, can be found elsewhere.
