In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, numerous side quests demand crucial decisions impacting NPCs' fates. This guide focuses on the Cabbage Thief quest and the dilemma surrounding Sauerkraut Pepa.
Initiating the Cabbage Thief Quest
Begin the Cabbage Thief side quest by conversing with Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. He's usually found wandering the village during the day or within the tavern. Inquire about recent town events, and he'll reveal the cabbage thefts. This leads you to the grocer south of Troskowitz, initiating the quest.
Locating the Cabbage Thief
Follow the trail of scattered cabbages leading towards Nebakov Fortress. The trail eventually guides you down a hidden river path to a cabbage-filled cart. Sauerkraut Pepa, the thief, is nearby.
Dealing with Sauerkraut Pepa: Spare, Kill, or Turn In?
Three options exist when confronting Pepa:
- Spare him: Pepa provides sauerkraut, and will cook more if you supply cabbages. This non-perishable food offers significant healing and nourishment.
- Kill him: Results in a reward from Bailiff Thrush.
- Turn him in: Also yields a reward of 789 groschen from Bailiff Thrush.
The choice depends on your immediate needs. The healing items from sparing Pepa can prove more valuable than the groschen, especially considering the ease of earning money through dice games with the proper setup.
This concludes the guide on Sauerkraut Pepa in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For further game tips and information, including romance options and optimal endings, consult The Escapist.
