Unveiling the Mystery: Prochek or Olbram - Who to Aid in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, early side quests in Tachov and Zhelejov offer a choice between aiding Prochek or Olbram. This guide clarifies whether you can help both and which choice is best.

Can You Help Both?

While Tachov and Zhelejov are at odds, it's possible to complete most quests for both Prochek and Olbram. This reveals more backstory, though a completely favorable outcome for both is impossible.

Prochek vs. Olbram: Which to Choose?

Ultimately, choosing between Prochek and Olbram makes little difference. Both aim to sabotage the other; the selection boils down to personal preference.

Olbram's task involves stealing Zhelejov's maypole, requiring nighttime stealth and potentially charming a guard. Prochek's quest demands painting Olbram's bull blue, necessitating dye from the tailor and a lullaby potion recipe from Radovan.

Prochek's quest presents a slightly higher difficulty, particularly early in the game. Insufficient groschen or Speech skill might hinder progress, making Olbram's quest potentially easier.

Prochek's "Mice" Quest:

Speak to Prochek (found in Tachov's inn if needed). This initiates the "Mice" quest.

Obtaining Dye and Lullaby Potion:

Purchase dye from Bartoshek, the tailor in Troskowitz. The lullaby potion recipe (requiring oil, poppy, and thistle) can be obtained from Radovan (either through apprenticeship or charm). Gather herbs near Troskowitz's apothecary. Brew the potion, then in Zhelejov, apply it to the bull and paint it. Report back to Prochek.

Olbram's "Frogs" Quest:

Find Olbram near Zhelejov's meadow. Agreeing to retrieve the maypole starts the "Frogs" quest.

Stealing the Maypole:

Proceed to Tachov at night. Approach the maypole; Henrik guards it. You can knock him out or (with sufficient Speech) charm him into leaving by arranging a date with Manka. Once Henrik departs, obtain the maypole. Return to Olbram. He'll then request you chase sheep from Tachov's pasture and deliver a digestive potion to Alshik. You can choose to complete this or inform Prochek of Olbram's plan, concluding both quests.
