Unlocking the Best Steed in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: A Guide to Acquiring Pebbles
Exploring the vast open world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is significantly enhanced by horseback riding. Walking everywhere is simply inefficient. This guide outlines how to obtain the game's best horse: Pebbles.
Why Pebbles Reigns Supreme
While other horses boast slightly superior stats, Pebbles offers the best combination of performance and accessibility. Unlocking the "Good Old Pebbles" perk is key to maximizing her potential. This perk significantly boosts her stats, making her a top contender.
Pebbles' Enhanced Stats (with Perk):
- Stamina: 217
- Capacity: 353
- Speed: 53
- Courage: 12
Acquiring Pebbles:
Early in the game, travel to Semine and locate the horse trader. A high Speech skill allows you to obtain Pebbles for free; otherwise, a small fee is required.
Crucially, ride Pebbles approximately 35 kilometers to unlock the "Good Old Pebbles" perk. This unlocks her full potential and makes her stats exceptionally competitive. The cost-effectiveness and ease of acquisition make her superior to other, more expensive options.
Alternative Mounts:
For players seeking alternative steeds, consider these options:
- Herring (Trosky Castle): Acquired for free after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls." While good, it lags behind Pebbles in capacity and speed. A perk is needed to reach its full potential.
- Kincsern (Kuttenberg): Boasts the highest stamina (235) and speed (60) but commands a hefty price of 5,260 groschen.
- Pisek Lad (Kuttenberg): Another strong contender, exceeding Pebbles in speed and courage, but its 7,560 groschen price tag makes it less practical.
The significant price difference for minimal stat increases makes Pebbles the most efficient choice.
Conclusion:
For the best balance of stats, accessibility, and cost, Pebbles is the ultimate mount in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Don't overlook the importance of unlocking the "Good Old Pebbles" perk to fully realize her capabilities.
