In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, numerous side quests demand crucial decisions impacting NPCs' fates. This guide focuses on the Cabbage Thief quest and what to do with Sauerkraut Pepa.

Initiating the Cabbage Thief Quest

Begin the Cabbage Thief side quest by conversing with Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. He's usually found around the village during the day or in the tavern. Inquire about recent town events, and he'll reveal the cabbage thefts. Next, speak with the Grocer south of Troskowitz to officially start the quest.

Locating the Cabbage Thief

Follow the trail of scattered cabbages leading from the grocer towards Nebakov Fortress. The trail will guide you down a hidden river path to a cabbage-filled cart. Sauerkraut Pepa, the thief, is just beyond.

Dealing with Sauerkraut Pepa: Spare, Kill, or Turn In?

When confronting Pepa, you have three choices:

• Spare him: Pepa will reward you with sauerkraut and cook more if you provide cabbages. His sauerkraut is a non-perishable, valuable healing item.
• Kill him: You receive a reward of 789 groschen from Bailiff Thrush.
• Turn him in: Similar to killing him, you'll receive 789 groschen from Bailiff Thrush.

The best option depends on your immediate needs. The healing benefits of the sauerkraut might outweigh the relatively small sum of groschen, especially considering the ease of acquiring money through dice games with the right strategy.
