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 explores both questlines, "Mice" and "Frogs," detailing whether you can help both, which choice is better, and how to complete each.

Can You Help Both?

While Tachov and Zhelejov are at odds, cleverly navigating the quests allows completion of most tasks for both Prochek and Olbram. This unlocks more backstory, though 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 aim to sabotage the other; the quests differ in their approach and perceived humor.

Olbram's "Frogs" quest involves a nighttime maypole theft, requiring stealth and possibly charm. Prochek's "Mice" quest necessitates painting Olbram's bull blue, demanding dye from the tailor and a lullaby potion recipe from Radovan (requiring either apprenticeship or high Speech). "Mice" might prove more challenging early in the game due to potential groschen or Speech skill limitations.

How to Start "Mice" for Prochek:

Speak to Prochek in Tachov (or the innkeeper if he's unavailable).

Completing "Mice":

• Dye: Purchase dye from Bartoshek the tailor in Troskowitz.
• Lullaby Potion: Obtain the recipe from Radovan (apprenticeship or charm) and gather oil, poppy, and thistle (found near the Troskowitz apothecary). Brew the potion and use it on the bull in Zhelejov, then paint the bull.
• Report: Inform Prochek of the completed task.

How to Start "Frogs" for Olbram:

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

Completing "Frogs":

• Maypole Theft: Stealthily approach the Tachov maypole at night. Charm or incapacitate Henrik, the guard. Arrange a date for Henrik and Manka (at the inn), then retrieve the maypole once Henrik leaves.
• Sheep and Potion: Deliver the maypole to Olbram. He'll then request chasing sheep from a Tachov 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. Further Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 advice, including optimal perk choices and whether to kill Jakesh, can be found elsewhere online.
