In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the ongoing feud between Prochek and Olbram can be resolved during the Battle of the Frogs and Mice side quest. Here's a detailed guide on how to navigate this quest and bring peace to the conflicting parties.
How to Start Battle of Frogs and Mice in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To initiate the Battle of the Frogs and Mice side quest, you must first complete either the Mice or Frogs quests for Prochek and Olbram. Once you've seen one of these quests through to the end, the Battle of the Frogs and Mice will become available. Start the quest by speaking to Prochek in Tachov or Olbram in Zhelejov, and then proceed to the designated pasture to begin.
Should You Side With Prochek or Olbram?
During the quest, Henry faces the decision of siding with either Prochek or Olbram. To support Prochek, speak to him in Tachov and choose the dialogue option, "Let's get those Zhelejovites!" To side with Olbram, talk to him in Zhelejov and select, "Let's go and see those Tachovites!"
While at the pasture, avoid trying to reconcile them directly, as this will only trigger the fight prematurely. Instead, if you can pass the dialogue check during negotiations, you can cause one member of the opposing side to flee, making the subsequent fight easier. Winning the fight for either side will earn you some groschen.
How to Stop the Feud
For a more 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 Baliff Thrush, choosing the dialogue option, "You’d finally have some peace." Successfully passing the dialogue check allows you to access the Troskowitz Chronicle in the scribe's room. If persuasion fails, you can sneak in to read it, but remember to save your game beforehand.
Engage with the scribe and select the dialogue option, "Fecit, ordinem in regione ope clavi ferrei."
At the pasture, locate three oak trees aligned next to each other. Examine the middle tree to find a nail. Your choices with the nail are:
- Leaving it in the middle tree will split the pasture equally between Tachov and Zhelejov.
- Placing it in the west tree will allocate more land to Tachov.
- Placing it in the east tree will allocate more land to Zhelejov.
The choice of where to place the nail doesn't significantly impact the outcome, so feel free to choose based on your preference or remain neutral. After deciding, speak with Baliff Thrush again, who will agree to end the feud. Then, bring Prochek or Olbram to the pasture to finalize the resolution.
After successfully ending the feud, speak with Baliff Thrush to receive the Master Studies I book.
This is how you can stop the feud during the Battle of the Frogs and Mice in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
