Sauerkraut Pepa in KCD2: Cabbage Thief Quest Guide

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, side quests like the Cabbage Thief offer players critical choices that can affect the fate of NPCs. If you're contemplating what to do with Sauerkraut Pepa during this quest, here’s your guide to making the best decision.

How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To kick off the Cabbage Thief side quest, head to Troskowitz and find Baliff Thrush. He's often wandering the village during the day or can be found in the local tavern. Engage him in conversation and inquire about recent happenings. He'll mention the ongoing cabbage thefts and direct you to the Grocer NPC, located just south of Troskowitz. A chat with the Grocer will officially start the Cabbage Thief quest.

Cabbage Thief Location

Follow the objective marker to trace the trail of stolen cabbages scattered along the road. This path will lead you towards Nebakov Fortress. Keep an eye out for a hidden path by the 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?

When confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you face 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.

Alternatively, choosing to kill or turn in Pepa will earn you a reward of 789 groschen from Baliff Thrush. Your decision hinges on whether you prioritize immediate financial gain or the long-term benefits of having a reliable source of healing items. Personally, the healing benefits of the sauerkraut proved more advantageous, especially considering the ease of earning money through dice games with the right strategy.
