Sauerkraut Pepa Guide: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Cabbage Thief Quest

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, side quests like the Cabbage Thief quest present players with decisions that can significantly impact the game's world and characters. If you're pondering what to do with Sauerkraut Pepa during this quest, here's a comprehensive guide to help you make an informed choice.

How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To kick off 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 local tavern. Engage him in conversation about the town's recent troubles, and he'll reveal that someone has been pilfering cabbages. He'll then point you towards the Grocer NPC, located just south of Troskowitz, who will officially initiate the Cabbage Thief quest.

Cabbage Thief Location

Your quest to find the thief begins by following the objective marker, which leads you to a trail of cabbages scattered on the ground. Follow this trail along the road, and it will guide you towards Nebakov Fortress. Keep an eye out for a slightly concealed path that veers off through a river. Here, you'll discover a cart brimming with cabbages, and just beyond it, you'll encounter Sauerkraut Pepa, the notorious cabbage thief.

Should You Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?

When confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you're faced 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 substantial healing and nourishment.

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