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," and explores whether it's possible to help both.

Can You Help Both?

While Tachov and Zhelejov are at odds, completing most of both Prochek and Olbram's quests is feasible. This provides a fuller understanding of the settlements' backstories. However, a completely favorable outcome for both isn't possible.

Prochek vs. Olbram: Which to Choose?

Ultimately, choosing between Prochek and Olbram has little impact on the game's overall narrative. Both aim to sabotage each other; the choice depends on personal preference.

Olbram's quest involves stealing Zhelejov's maypole, requiring nighttime stealth and potentially charming a guard. Prochek's quest involves painting Olbram's bull blue, needing dye from a tailor and a lullaby potion recipe from Radovan.

Prochek's task is arguably more challenging early in the game, potentially requiring significant groschen or Speech skills.

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

1. Speak to Prochek in Tachov (or the innkeeper if he's unavailable).
2. Purchase dye from Bartoshek, the tailor in Troskowitz.
3. Obtain the lullaby potion recipe. This can be done by working for Radovan or charming him. The recipe requires oil, poppy, and thistle (found near Troskowitz apothecary).
4. Brew the potion, head to Zhelejov, and administer it to the bull.
5. Paint the bull.
6. Report back to Prochek. You can also then choose to start the Frogs quest for Olbram.

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

1. Find Olbram near the meadow in Zhelejov and accept the maypole theft.
2. Go to Tachov at night and approach the maypole.
3. Either charm or incapacitate the guard, Henrik. Charming him requires sufficient Speech skill.
4. Arrange a date for Henrik and Manka (at the inn).
5. Once Henrik leaves, chop down the maypole.
6. Report to Olbram. He'll then task you with chasing sheep from Tachov's pasture and delivering a digestive potion to Alshik. You can complete this or inform Prochek, ending both quests.
