Embark on a side quest adventure in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, where your choices shape the fate of NPCs. This guide focuses on the “Cabbage Thief” quest and the decision you face regarding Sauerkraut Pepa.
How to Start the Cabbage Thief Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Initiate the “Cabbage Thief” side quest by speaking with Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. He’s usually found wandering the village during the day or relaxing in the tavern. Ask him about recent events, and he’ll reveal the cabbage-related crime. You’ll then be directed to the Grocer south of Troskowitz, starting the quest proper.
Cabbage Thief Location

Follow the trail of scattered cabbages leading from the grocer. The trail winds towards Nebakov Fortress, eventually leading you down a less obvious path through the river. You’ll discover a cart full of cabbages, and just beyond, you’ll find Sauerkraut Pepa, the culprit.
Should You Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?
When confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you have three choices: spare him, kill him, or turn him in.
Sparing him yields a reward of sauerkraut. He’ll even cook more for you if you provide him with additional cabbages. Pepa’s sauerkraut is a non-perishable food item offering substantial healing and nourishment.
Killing or turning him in earns you 789 groschen from Bailiff Thrush.
The best choice depends on your immediate needs. If you’re short on healing items, sparing Pepa might be more beneficial than the immediate cash reward, especially considering the ease of acquiring money through dice games with the right strategy.
