Should You Help Prochek or Olbram in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? (Mice & Frogs Quest Guide)

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter the opportunity to engage in side quests within two rival settlements, deciding whether to help Prochek or Olbram in the Mice or Frogs quests. Here's what you need to know to make informed decisions and maximize your gameplay experience.

Can You Help Both Prochek and Olbram in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the animosity between Tachov and Zhelejov sets the stage for your involvement. Fortunately, you can complete most of the quests for both Prochek and Olbram if you navigate the situation cleverly. This approach allows you to delve deeper into the lore of both settlements. Although you won't achieve a positive outcome for both sides, engaging with both factions enriches your gaming experience by revealing more of the game's content.

Should You Choose Prochek or Olbram in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

If you prefer to align with just one faction, choosing between Prochek and Olbram is largely a matter of personal taste, as both quests offer similar rewards. Olbram's task involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, requiring stealth to distract the guard at night. On the other hand, Prochek asks you to paint Olbram's bull blue, which involves obtaining a dye recipe from Radovan and purchasing the dye from the tailor.

Difficulty-wise, Prochek's task might be more challenging, especially early in the game due to potential dialogue barriers or insufficient funds. If you're starting these quests early, siding with Olbram could be more straightforward. Below, I'll detail both questlines to help you decide.

How to Start Mice for Prochek in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To initiate the Mice quest, speak with Prochek in Tachov. If you can't locate him, the innkeeper at the local inn can direct you to him.

Get the Dye and Lullaby Potion

After meeting Prochek, travel to Troskowitz and visit Bartoshek the tailor to buy the necessary dye. For the Lullaby Potion, you have two options: work as an apprentice blacksmith for Radovan in Tachov or charm the recipe out of him. The potion requires oil, poppy, and thistle, which can be harvested from the garden near the apothecary in Troskowitz.

Once you've crafted the potion, head to Zhelejov, administer it to the bull's trough to make it sleep, then approach and paint the bull blue. After completing the task, return to Prochek to report your success. You can then speak with Olbram to start the Frogs quest and aid in his retaliation against Tachov.

How to Start Frogs for Olbram in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To begin the Frogs quest, find Olbram in Zhelejov near the meadow and agree to steal the Tachov maypole for him.

Steal the Maypole

Approach Tachov at night and stealthily move towards the maypole. Henrik guards it, and you can either knock him out or use your Speech skill to distract him. Engage Henrik in conversation about Manka, and persuade him to leave for a secret date you set up, allowing you to cut down the maypole.

After completing the task, report back to Olbram, who will then request another favor: to chase the sheep out of Tachov's pasture and give a digestive potion to Alshik. At this juncture, you can either continue aiding Olbram or inform Prochek about his plans, concluding both quests and the rivalry.

That covers all you need to know about the choices between Prochek and Olbram, as well as the Mice and Frogs quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
