In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the ongoing feud between Prochek and Olbram threatens to escalate into a full-blown brawl during the "Battle of the Frogs and Mice" side quest. But fear not, Henry! There's a way to bring peace to this ridiculous conflict. Here's how to stop the feud and achieve a more amicable resolution.
How to Start the Battle of Frogs and Mice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
This side quest unlocks after completing either the Mice or Frogs quests for Prochek and Olbram. Finish either quest, and you'll be able to speak to Prochek in Tachov or Olbram in Zhelejov to begin "Battle of the Frogs and Mice." Once the quest starts, head to the pasture to witness (and hopefully prevent) the impending chaos.
Should You Side With Prochek or Olbram?
You'll be pressured to choose a side, but there's a path to peace. To side with Prochek, tell him "Let's get those Zhelejovites!" in Tachov. To side with Olbram, tell him "Let's go and see those Tachovites!" in Zhelejov. During the pasture confrontation, a successful dialogue check might cause an enemy to flee, making the fight easier. Victory for either side rewards you with groschen.
How to Stop the Feud
To achieve a peaceful resolution, before heading to the pasture, ask Prochek or Olbram if they're willing to end the feud. Then, travel to Troskowitz and speak with Bailiff Thrush. Select the dialogue option, "You'd finally have some peace."
A successful dialogue check allows you to access the Troskowitz Chronicle in the scribe's room. If persuasion fails, sneak in (saving your game beforehand is recommended). Speak to the scribe and choose, "Fecit, ordinem in regione ope clavi ferrei."
Next, find three oak trees in the pasture. Examine the middle tree to discover a nail. You can:
- Leave the nail in the middle tree for an equal division of the pasture.
- Place the nail in the west tree to favor Tachov.
- Place the nail in the east tree to favor Zhelejov.
The choice ultimately doesn't significantly impact the outcome. After placing the nail, speak with Bailiff Thrush again; he'll agree to end the feud. Finally, talk to Prochek or Olbram to bring them to the pasture, solidifying the peace. You'll receive the Master Studies I book as a reward from Bailiff Thrush.
That's how to peacefully resolve the "Battle of the Frogs and Mice" in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Check out The Escapist for more game tips and information.
