In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, numerous side quests demand crucial decisions impacting NPCs. This guide focuses on the Cabbage Thief quest and the fate of Sauerkraut Pepa.
Initiating the Cabbage Thief Quest
Begin the Cabbage Thief side quest by conversing with Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. He's usually found wandering the village during the day or within the tavern. Inquire about recent town events; he'll reveal the cabbage thefts. Next, speak with the Grocer south of Troskowitz to officially start the quest.
Locating the Cabbage Thief
Follow the trail of scattered cabbages leading towards Nebakov Fortress. The trail will guide you down a less-obvious path alongside the river, eventually leading to a cart overflowing with cabbages. Sauerkraut Pepa, the culprit, is just beyond the cart.
To Spare or to Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?
When confronting Pepa, you face three choices: release him, kill him, or hand him over to authorities.
Sparing Pepa: He'll reward you with sauerkraut and offer to prepare more if you provide him with additional cabbages. His sauerkraut is a valuable, non-perishable food item providing substantial healing and nourishment.
Killing or Turning In Pepa: Bailiff Thrush will reward you with 789 groschen.
The best option depends on your immediate needs. If healing items are more valuable to you than the groschen (especially considering the ease of earning money through dice games with the right strategy), sparing Pepa is recommended.
