In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, numerous side quests demand crucial decisions impacting NPCs' fates. This guide focuses on the Cabbage Thief quest and what to do with Sauerkraut Pepa.
Initiating the Cabbage Thief Quest
Begin the Cabbage Thief side quest by speaking with Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. He's usually found around the village during the day or in the tavern. Inquire about recent town events, and he'll reveal the cabbage thefts, directing you to the grocer south of Troskowitz to officially start the quest.
Locating the Cabbage Thief
Follow the trail of scattered cabbages leading towards Nebakov Fortress. This path will take you through a less obvious river route, eventually leading to a cart full of cabbages. Sauerkraut Pepa, the thief, is just beyond.
Dealing with Sauerkraut Pepa: Spare, Kill, or Turn In?
When confronting Pepa, you have three choices:
-
Spare him: He'll reward you with sauerkraut, and will cook more if you provide him with cabbages. His sauerkraut is a non-perishable, valuable healing item.
-
Kill him: Results in a reward from Bailiff Thrush.
-
Turn him in: Also results in a reward from Bailiff Thrush.
Both killing and turning him in yield 789 groschen from Bailiff Thrush. The decision depends on your immediate needs: money or healing items. Considering the relative ease of acquiring money through dice games (with the right setup), the healing benefits of sparing Pepa might be more advantageous.
