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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the side quests are not just mere distractions but pivotal narratives where your choices can dramatically impact the lives of NPCs. One such quest is the Cabbage Thief quest, which involves a character named Sauerkraut Pepa. Here's a comprehensive guide on what to do during this quest.

How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To initiate the Cabbage Thief side quest, you'll need to converse with Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. He's often wandering the village by day or can be found in the tavern, so a bit of searching might be necessary. Engage him in conversation about the town's recent events, and he'll inform you of the ongoing cabbage thefts. He will then direct you to the Grocer NPC just south of Troskowitz, where you can officially start the quest.

Cabbage Thief Location

To track down the thief, follow the objective marker which leads you to a trail of cabbages scattered on the ground. This trail will guide you along the road towards Nebakov Fortress. Keep an eye out for a less obvious path that veers off through a river, where you'll discover a cart brimming with cabbages. Just beyond this 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 choices: spare him, kill him, or turn him in. Opting to spare him results in him gifting you some sauerkraut and offering to cook more if you supply him with cabbages. Pepe's Sauerkrauts are invaluable; they never spoil and provide significant healing and nourishment.

Conversely, choosing to kill or turn in Pepa will earn you a reward of 789 groschen from Bailiff Thrush. The decision hinges on your current needs—whether you prioritize immediate financial gain or the long-term benefits of a non-perishable healing item. Personally, the healing items proved more beneficial, especially considering the ease of earning money through dice games with the right strategy.
