Embark on a variety of side quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, each presenting choices that significantly impact the fate of NPCs. This guide focuses on the Cabbage Thief quest and the decision regarding Sauerkraut Pepa.
How to Start the Cabbage Thief Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Initiate 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. Engage him in conversation, inquire about recent town events, and he'll reveal the cabbage thefts. This leads you to the Grocer NPC south of Troskowitz, where the quest officially begins.
Cabbage Thief Location
Follow the trail of scattered cabbages leading towards Nebakov Fortress. This trail will guide you down a slightly concealed path alongside the river, eventually leading you to a cart filled with cabbages. Sauerkraut Pepa, the culprit, is just beyond the cart.
Should You Spare or Turn in Sauerkraut Pepa?
When confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you face three choices: spare him, kill him, or turn him in.
Sparing him yields a reward of sauerkraut; he'll even prepare more if you provide him with additional cabbages. Pepa's sauerkraut is a valuable non-perishable food item offering substantial healing and nourishment.
Killing or turning him in grants a reward of 789 groschen from Bailiff Thrush.
The optimal choice depends on your immediate needs. If healing items are more valuable to you than the groschen, sparing him is advisable, especially considering the ease of acquiring money through dice games with the right strategy.
This concludes your guide to handling Sauerkraut Pepa in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For further game tips and information, including romance options and optimal ending strategies, explore The Escapist.
