What to Do With Sauerkraut Pepa in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 (Cabbage Thief Quest Guide)

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, side quests like the Cabbage Thief quest offer players significant choices that can impact the fate of non-player characters (NPCs). Here's a detailed guide on what to do with Sauerkraut Pepa during the Cabbage Thief quest.

How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To initiate the Cabbage Thief side quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you need to speak with Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. You can find him wandering around the village during the day or in the local tavern. Engage him in conversation and ask about any recent happenings in the town. He'll inform you about the ongoing cabbage thefts and direct you to the Grocer NPC located just south of Troskowitz. A conversation with the Grocer will officially start the Cabbage Thief quest.

Cabbage Thief Location

To find the thief, follow the in-game objective marker which will lead you to a trail of cabbages scattered on the ground. Follow this trail along the road until it directs you towards Nebakov Fortress. Keep your eyes peeled for a hidden path that leads through a river, where you'll discover a cart filled with cabbages. Just a short distance ahead, you'll encounter Sauerkraut Pepa, the notorious cabbage thief.

Should You Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?

When you confront Sauerkraut Pepa, you'll have three choices: spare him, kill him, or turn him in.

If you decide to spare Pepa, he'll reward you with some sauerkraut and offer to cook more for you if you bring him additional cabbages. Pepa's Sauerkraut is an invaluable food item in the game, as it never spoils and provides substantial healing and nourishment.

On the other hand, if you choose to kill Pepa or turn him in, you'll receive a reward of 789 groschen from Bailiff Thrush. This choice hinges on your current financial needs versus the long-term benefits of having a steady supply of healing items.

From personal experience, opting for the sauerkraut proved more beneficial, especially since earning money through dice games is relatively straightforward with the right strategies.
