In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the side quests offer rich narrative experiences that often involve making impactful decisions, such as the fate of NPCs during the Cabbage Thief quest involving Sauerkraut Pepa. Here's a detailed guide on how to navigate this quest and the choices you'll face.
How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To initiate the Cabbage Thief side quest, head to Troskowitz and locate Baliff Thrush. You can usually find him wandering around the village during the day or relaxing in the local tavern. Strike up a conversation with him, inquiring about any recent events. He'll mention the ongoing issue of stolen cabbages and point you towards the Grocer, located just south of Troskowitz. Speaking with the Grocer will officially kick off the Cabbage Thief quest.
Cabbage Thief Location
To find the thief, follow the objective marker which will lead you to a trail of scattered cabbages. This path will take you along the road towards Nebakov Fortress. Keep an eye out for a less conspicuous path that veers off through a river. There, you'll discover a cart brimming with cabbages. Just beyond the cart, you'll encounter Sauerkraut Pepa, the notorious cabbage thief.
Should You Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?
When confronted with Sauerkraut Pepa, you're presented with three distinct choices: spare him, kill him, or turn him in.
- Sparing Pepa: Opting to let him go will result in Pepa gifting you some sauerkraut. Additionally, he promises to cook more sauerkraut for you if you bring him cabbages in the future. Pepe's Sauerkrauts are exceptionally valuable as they never spoil, providing significant healing and nourishment benefits.
- Killing or Turning Him In: Choosing to kill Pepa or turn him in to Baliff Thrush will earn you a reward of 789 groschen.
Your decision hinges on whether you prioritize immediate financial gain or long-term utility. Personally, the healing benefits from Pepe's Sauerkrauts proved more advantageous, especially given the ease of earning money through dice games with the right strategy.
That covers everything you need to know about handling Sauerkraut Pepa in the Cabbage Thief quest of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more in-depth guides, including romance options and strategies for achieving the best ending, be sure to check out resources like The Escapist.
