Unlocking the Best Steed in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: A Guide to Acquiring Pebbles
Exploring the vast open world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is significantly enhanced by horseback riding. Walking everywhere is simply inefficient. This guide details how to obtain the game's most practical and valuable horse: Pebbles.
Why Pebbles Reigns Supreme
While other horses boast slightly superior stats, Pebbles offers the best combination of performance, acquisition cost, and ease of obtaining. Unlocking the "Good Old Pebbles" perk is key to maximizing her potential. With this perk active, Pebbles' stats are:
- Stamina: 217
- Capacity: 353
- Speed: 53
- Courage: 12
Acquiring Pebbles: A Step-by-Step Guide
Pebbles can be acquired early in the game. Travel to Semine and locate the horse trader. A high Speech skill allows you to acquire Pebbles for free; otherwise, a modest fee is required.
Crucially, riding Pebbles for approximately 35 kilometers unlocks the "Good Old Pebbles" perk, significantly boosting her stats. This makes further investment in other, more expensive horses unnecessary.
Alternative Mounts: A Comparative Look
While Pebbles is the recommended choice, alternative horses exist:
- Herring (Trosky Castle): Obtained for free after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls," Herring lags behind Pebbles in capacity and speed, requiring a perk to reach its full potential.
- Kincsern (Kuttenberg): Boasting the highest stamina (235) and speed (60), Kincsern commands a hefty price of 5,260 groschen.
- Pisek Lad (Kuttenberg): A strong all-arounder surpassing Pebbles in speed and courage, but its price of 7,560 groschen makes it a less cost-effective option.
The significant price difference for marginal stat improvements makes Pebbles the superior choice.
Conclusion
This guide provides a comprehensive strategy for obtaining the best horse in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
