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 assisting Prochek or Olbram. This guide clarifies whether you can help both and which choice is preferable.

Can You Help Both?

While Tachov and Zhelejov are at odds, cleverly navigating the "Mice" and "Frogs" quests allows completion of most tasks for both Prochek and Olbram. This provides comprehensive backstory, though a completely favorable outcome for both is impossible. It's a chance to experience more of the game's content.

Prochek vs. Olbram: Which to Choose?

Ultimately, choosing between Prochek and Olbram makes little difference in the overall narrative. Both aim to sabotage the other; the selection boils down to personal preference for the task's humor.

Olbram's quest involves a nighttime maypole theft, requiring stealth and potentially charming a guard. Prochek's task requires painting Olbram's bull blue, demanding dye from the tailor and a lullaby potion recipe from Radovan (requiring either apprenticeship or charm skills).

Prochek's quest presents a slightly higher difficulty, especially early in the game, due to potential groschen or Speech skill requirements. Olbram's quest might be easier for less experienced players.

Prochek's "Mice" Quest:

Initiate this quest by speaking with Prochek in Tachov (or the innkeeper if he's unavailable).

• Dye and Lullaby Potion: Obtain dye from Bartoshek the tailor in Troskowitz. The lullaby potion recipe requires oil, poppy, and thistle (found near Troskowitz's apothecary). Brew the potion, then administer it to the bull in Zhelejov and paint it. Report back to Prochek.

Olbram's "Frogs" Quest:

Find Olbram near Zhelejov's meadow and agree to steal the Tachov maypole.

• Maypole Theft: Proceed to Tachov at night. You can either knock out the guard, Henrik, or (with sufficient Speech) charm him into leaving his post. Once the coast is clear, obtain and return the maypole to Olbram. He'll then request you chase sheep from a Tachov pasture and deliver a digestive potion to Alshik. You can choose to complete this or inform Prochek to end the conflict.
