To resolve the ongoing feud between Prochek and Olbram in the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 side quest, "Battle of the Frogs and Mice," follow these detailed steps for a peaceful resolution.
How to Start Battle of Frogs and Mice in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
The "Battle of the Frogs and Mice" side quest becomes available after completing either the Mice or Frogs quests for Prochek and Olbram. Once you've completed one of these quests, you can initiate the new quest by speaking with Prochek in Tachov or Olbram in Zhelejov. After starting the quest, head to the designated pasture to proceed.
Should You Side With Prochek or Olbram?
You'll be faced with the decision to support either Prochek or Olbram. To side with Prochek, meet him in Tachov and say, "Let's get those Zhelejovites!" To support Olbram, go to Zhelejov and say, "Let's go and see those Tachovites!" During their negotiations at the pasture, avoid attempting to reconcile them immediately, as this will only precipitate the conflict. Instead, try to pass a dialogue check during the negotiations to make an enemy retreat, simplifying the subsequent fight. Winning the battle for either side will earn you some groschen.
How to Stop the Feud
For a more harmonious outcome, consider the following steps:
Initiate Peace Talks: Before heading to the pasture, speak to Prochek or Olbram and inquire if they're interested in ending the feud.
Visit Baliff Thrush: Head to Troskowitz to speak with Baliff Thrush. Select the dialogue option, "You’d finally have some peace." You'll need to pass a dialogue check to proceed.
Access the Troskowitz Chronicle: If successful, you can read the Troskowitz Chronicle in the scribe’s room. If you fail to persuade Baliff Thrush, you can sneak into the room to read it, but save your game first for safety.
Consult the Scribe: Engage with the scribe and choose the dialogue, "Fecit, ordinem in regione ope clavi ferrei."
5. Locate the Nail: At the pasture, find three oak trees lined up. Examine the middle tree to find a nail. Your options with the nail are:
- Leave it in the middle tree to split the pasture equally between Tachov and Zhelejov.
- Place it in the west tree to allocate more land to Tachov.
- Place it in the east tree to give more land to Zhelejov.
The choice of placement is relatively inconsequential, so select based on your preference or remain neutral.
Finalize the Agreement: After deciding on the nail's placement, speak with Baliff Thrush again to finalize the agreement to end the feud. Then, bring Prochek or Olbram to the pasture to confirm the resolution.
Collect Your Reward: After successfully ending the feud, speak with Baliff Thrush to receive the "Master Studies I" book.
By following these steps, you can effectively stop the feud in the "Battle of the Frogs and Mice" quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and information on the game, continue exploring resources available online.
