In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, side quests play a crucial role, often requiring players to make impactful decisions that can alter the fate of NPCs. If you're tackling the Cabbage Thief quest and wondering about the best approach with Sauerkraut Pepa, here’s a detailed guide to help you make the right choice.
How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To kick off the Cabbage Thief side quest, head to Troskowitz and find Baliff Thrush. He can typically be found wandering around the village during the day or inside the local tavern. Engage him in conversation about recent happenings in town, and he'll inform you about the ongoing cabbage thefts. He'll then direct you to the Grocer, located just south of Troskowitz, who will officially start the quest for you.
Cabbage Thief Location
To find the thief, follow the objective marker which will lead you to a trail of cabbages scattered on the ground. This trail guides you along the road towards Nebakov Fortress. Keep your eyes peeled for a hidden path that runs along the river, where you'll discover a cart brimming with cabbages. Just beyond this, you'll encounter Sauerkraut Pepa, the notorious cabbage thief.
Should You Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?
When confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you face three choices: spare him, kill him, or turn him in. Choosing to let him go results in him giving you sauerkraut and promising to cook more if you supply him with cabbages. Pepe's Sauerkraut is an invaluable item that doesn't spoil and provides significant healing and nourishment benefits.
On the other hand, if you decide to kill or turn him in, you'll receive 789 groschen from Baliff Thrush as a reward. The decision hinges on whether you prioritize immediate financial gain or long-term benefits from the healing items. Personally, the utility of the sauerkraut was more valuable to me, especially since earning money through dice games is straightforward with the right strategy.
