In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter the intriguing choice between helping Prochek or Olbram in the Mice or Frogs side quests. These quests introduce you to the ongoing feud between the settlements of Tachov and Zhelejov, offering a chance to engage with the game's rich narrative and its characters.
Can You Help Both Prochek and Olbram in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
Despite the animosity between Tachov and Zhelejov, you can strategically navigate the quests to assist both Prochek and Olbram to a certain extent. By doing so, you'll uncover more of the game's backstory and immerse yourself in the detailed world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. However, achieving a completely favorable outcome for both sides isn't possible, but this approach allows you to experience the game's depth more fully.
Should You Choose Prochek or Olbram in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
If you prefer to align with just one side, both choices—Prochek or Olbram—have their unique challenges and rewards. Olbram's task involves stealing the Zhelejov maypole, which requires stealth and cunning to distract the guard at night. On the other hand, Prochek asks you to paint Olbram's bull blue, which involves acquiring dye and a lullaby potion, and might be more challenging, especially early in the game due to resource and skill constraints.
Ultimately, the choice depends on which task you find more engaging or less difficult, based on your current game progress and available skills.
How to Start Mice for Prochek in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To initiate the Mice quest, simply speak with Prochek in Tachov. If you have trouble locating him, visit the local inn and ask the innkeeper for directions.
Get the Dye and Lullaby Potion
After your conversation with Prochek, travel to Troskowitz to meet Bartoshek the tailor and purchase the necessary dye. For the Lullaby Potion, you have two options: work as an apprentice blacksmith under Radovan in Tachov, or charm the recipe out of him. The potion requires oil, poppy, and thistle, the latter two of which you can find in the garden outside the Troskowitz apothecary.
Once you've brewed the potion, head to Zhelejov and pour it into the bull's trough. Wait for the bull to fall asleep, then approach and paint it blue. After completing this task, return to Prochek to report your success. This is also an opportunity to start the Frogs quest with Olbram and help him retaliate against Tachov.

To begin the Frogs quest, find Olbram in Zhelejov near the meadow and agree to retrieve the Tachov maypole for him.
Steal the Maypole
Approach Tachov in the evening and cautiously move towards the maypole. You'll encounter Henrik, the guard. You can either knock him out or, if your Speech skill is high enough, charm him by discussing Manka and arranging a secret date. After convincing Henrik to leave, climb the maypole and cut it down.
Report back to Olbram, who will commend your efforts and request one more task: chase the sheep out of Tachov's pasture and administer a digestive potion to Alshik. At this point, you can decide whether to continue with Olbram's plan or inform Prochek, effectively concluding both quests and ending the feud's antics.
