In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, side quests abound, offering you the chance to make impactful decisions that can alter the course of an NPC's life.

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. You'll often catch him wandering the village during the day or unwinding at the tavern. Strike up a conversation with him about recent happenings, and he’ll mention the ongoing cabbage thefts. He’ll then direct you to the Grocer NPC, located just south of Troskowitz, who will officially set you on the path of the Cabbage Thief quest.

Your next task is to track down the thief. Follow your objective marker, which leads you to a trail of cabbages scattered along the ground. Continue along the road, and you’ll be directed toward Nebakov Fortress. Along the way, take a slightly concealed path through the river, and you'll come across a cart brimming with cabbages. Just beyond this, you’ll find Sauerkraut Pepa, the notorious cabbage thief.

Should You Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?

When confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you're presented with three choices: spare him, kill him, or turn him in. If you decide to let him go, he'll reward you with some sauerkraut and offer to cook more for you in exchange for cabbages. Pepe’s Sauerkrauts are invaluable, as they never spoil and provide significant healing and nourishment.

On the other hand, choosing to kill or turn in Pepa will earn you 789 groschen from Baliff Thrush. The decision boils down to your current needs: if you're in dire need of money, the groschen might be more appealing. However, if you’re looking for long-term benefits, the healing items can prove to be more advantageous, especially when you consider that making money through dice games is relatively straightforward with the right strategy.
