"Sauerkraut Pepa Guide: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Cabbage Thief Quest"

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, side quests abound, each presenting unique challenges and moral dilemmas that can shape the fates of NPCs. One such quest is the Cabbage Thief, where you'll have to decide the fate of Sauerkraut Pepa. Here's what you need to know to navigate this intriguing side quest.

How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To embark on the Cabbage Thief side quest, you'll need to converse with Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. He can typically be found wandering the village during the day or relaxing in the tavern, so keep your eyes peeled. Engage him in conversation and inquire about recent happenings. He'll reveal the mystery of the stolen cabbages, directing you to the Grocer NPC just south of Troskowitz. A chat with the Grocer will officially kickstart the Cabbage Thief quest.

Cabbage Thief Location

Your quest to catch the thief begins by following an objective marker, which leads you to a trail of cabbages scattered along the road. Follow this trail towards Nebakov Fortress. You'll soon discover a hidden path that winds through the river, leading you to a cart brimming with cabbages. Just beyond the cart, you'll encounter Sauerkraut Pepa, the notorious cabbage thief.

Should You Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?

Upon confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you're presented with three options: spare him, kill him, or turn him in. Choosing to let him go will earn you some sauerkraut and a promise from Pepa to cook more if you bring him additional cabbages. Pepa's Sauerkraut is a valuable item in the game, as it never spoils and provides significant healing and nourishment benefits.

Alternatively, if you decide to kill or turn in Pepa, Bailiff Thrush will reward you with 789 groschen. This decision hinges on your current needs: do you require immediate funds, or would the long-term benefits of the healing items be more advantageous? Personally, I found the healing items to be invaluable, especially given the ease of earning money through dice games with the right setup.

That covers everything you need to know about handling Sauerkraut Pepa in the Cabbage Thief quest of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more insights and tips on the game, including details on romance options and achieving the best ending, be sure to visit The Escapist.
