Should You Help Prochek or Olbram in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? (Mice & Frogs Quest Guide)

Early in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter side quests in Tachov and Zhelejov, requiring you to choose between helping Prochek or Olbram. This guide clarifies whether you can assist both and which choice is best for you.

Can You Help Both Prochek and Olbram in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*?

Tachov and Zhelejov are locked in a bitter rivalry. Fortunately, you can complete most quests for both Prochek and Olbram, provided you approach strategically. This approach unlocks more of the game's backstory. While a completely favorable outcome for both is impossible, you'll gain a richer understanding of the settlements.

Should You Choose Prochek or Olbram in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*?

If forced to choose, there's little practical difference. Both aim to sabotage the other; the selection boils down to personal preference for the quest's humor.

Olbram's quest involves stealing Zhelejov's maypole—a nighttime stealth operation requiring you to distract the guard. Prochek's quest involves painting Olbram's bull blue, demanding a recipe from Radovan and dye from the tailor.

Prochek's quest is generally harder, especially early in the game. Insufficient groschen or Speech skill might hinder progress, making Olbram's quest potentially easier. The following sections detail both questlines.

How to Start "Mice" for Prochek in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*

Speak to Prochek in Tachov to initiate "Mice." If you can't locate him, the innkeeper can direct you.

Obtaining the Dye and Lullaby Potion

Purchase dye from Bartoshek the tailor in Troskowitz. For the lullaby potion, either work as Radovan's blacksmith apprentice or charm the recipe from him. The recipe requires oil, poppy, and thistle (harvested from the apothecary garden in Troskowitz).

Brew the potion, then proceed to Zhelejov, pour it into the bull's trough, and paint the bull once it's asleep. Report back to Prochek. You can then speak to Olbram to begin "Frogs."

How to Start "Frogs" for Olbram in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*

Find Olbram near the meadow in Zhelejov and agree to steal the Tachov maypole to start "Frogs."

Stealing the Maypole

In the evening, approach the Tachov maypole cautiously. Henrik guards it. You can knock him out or (with sufficient Speech) persuade him to leave, arranging a date for him with Manka. Inform Manka, then return to Henrik. Once he departs, climb and cut down the maypole.

Return to Olbram; he'll then task you with chasing sheep from a Tachov pasture and delivering a digestive potion to Alshik. You can complete this or inform Prochek of Olbram's plans to conclude both quests.

This concludes your guide to Prochek, Olbram, and the "Mice" and "Frogs" quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Check The Escapist for more Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 tips, including advice on killing Jakesh and optimal perk choices.
