Early in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a choice between two feuding settlements, Tachov and Zhelejov, each offering side quests. This guide helps you decide whether to assist Prochek of Tachov or Olbram of Zhelejov in their respective "Mice" and "Frogs" quests.

Can You Help Both Prochek and Olbram in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*?

While Tachov and Zhelejov are locked in bitter rivalry, you can actually complete most of both Prochek and Olbram's quests. This approach allows you to explore both settlements' backstories more fully. While a completely satisfying outcome for both isn't possible, you'll gain a richer understanding of the game's narrative.

Should You Choose Prochek or Olbram in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*?

If forced to choose, there's little practical difference. Both aim to sabotage the other, making the decision largely a matter of personal preference. Olbram's task involves stealing Zhelejov's maypole, requiring nighttime stealth and potentially charming a guard. Prochek's task involves painting Olbram's bull blue, requiring acquiring dye from a tailor and a lullaby potion recipe from Radovan. Early in the game, Prochek's quest might be slightly more challenging due to potential Speech checks and the need for groschen.

How to Start "Mice" for Prochek in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*

Speak with Prochek in Tachov. If you can't locate him, the innkeeper can direct you.

Getting the Dye and Lullaby Potion

Purchase dye from Bartoshek the tailor in Troskowitz. Obtain the lullaby potion recipe by either working for Radovan or charming him. The recipe requires oil, poppy, and thistle (harvested near the Troskowitz apothecary). Brew the potion, then head to Zhelejov, administer it to the bull, and paint the bull. Report back to Prochek.

How to Start "Frogs" for Olbram in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*

Find Olbram near the meadow in Zhelejov and agree to retrieve the maypole to begin his quest.

Stealing the Maypole

In the evening, approach the maypole in Tachov. You can either knock out Henrik, the guard, or use high Speech to persuade him to leave his post. Arrange a date for Henrik and Manka, allowing you to steal the maypole. Return to Olbram to complete this stage. He'll then task you with chasing sheep from a Tachov pasture and delivering a digestive potion to Alshik.

At this point, you can choose to continue Olbram's quest or inform Prochek of Olbram's plans, concluding both quest lines.
