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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the side quest "Cabbage Thief" presents players with intriguing decisions that can impact the fate of an NPC named Sauerkraut Pepa. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to navigate this quest and the choices you can make.

How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To kick off the Cabbage Thief side quest, locate Baliff Thrush in Troskowitz. You can find him either wandering around the village during the day or relaxing in the local tavern. Engage him in conversation and inquire about recent happenings. He'll inform you about a mysterious cabbage thief, directing you to speak with the Grocer NPC just south of Troskowitz. This conversation will officially launch the Cabbage Thief quest.

Cabbage Thief Location

To track down the thief, follow the objective marker which leads to a trail of cabbages scattered on the ground. This trail will guide you along the road towards Nebakov Fortress. Keep your eyes peeled for a slightly concealed path that winds through the river. Here, you'll discover a cart brimming with cabbages, and just ahead, you'll encounter Sauerkraut Pepa, the notorious cabbage thief.

Should You Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?

When confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you'll face a moral dilemma with three possible outcomes: sparing him, killing him, or turning him in to the authorities.

• Sparing Him: If you choose to let him go, Sauerkraut Pepa will reward you with some sauerkraut. He'll also offer to cook more for you if you bring him additional cabbages. Pepe's Sauerkrauts are valuable as they never spoil and provide significant healing and nourishment benefits.
• Killing or Turning Him In: Opting to kill Sauerkraut Pepa or turn him in 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 a non-perishable healing item. From personal experience, the healing items proved more beneficial at that stage of the game, especially considering the ease of earning money through dice games with the right strategy.
