frogs in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — a side errand from the Zheleevtsy, who suggest to annoy the neighboring village. The Takhovtsy are proud of their Maypole, considering it a symbol of unity and tradition. But this time the pole will become part of a cunning prank conceived by the resourceful Olbram.
To successfully pull off this trick, you need to eliminate the guard Ginek and get the axe. In this guide, we will tell you how to steal the Takhovsky Maypole, give Alshik the potion and drive the sheep from the pasture in the Frogs KCD 2 quest.
How to start the Frogs quest in KCD 2
Once you've completed the "Troski" story mission, visit the village of Zheleev, located west of Troskovice, and talk to old man Olbram. Learn about the long-standing feud between the two villages and agree to help with the prank.
If you previously took Takhov's side and completed the task "Mice", visit Olbram anyway. The old man may quarrel with Henry over the bull, and your reputation will decrease slightly. Offer to annoy the Tahovites in exchange to make amends, and take the quest.
Complete the Frogs side quests before the mission begins "War of Mice and Frogs", otherwise you will not be able to participate in the conflict on the Zheleevites’ side.
Walkthrough of the Frogs quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
At night, without attracting attention, cut down the pole and take the fallen wreath, deliver the pole to Olbram in Zheleev and get a reward. Additionally, you can ruin the Takhians' laundry by driving the sheep to the laundry and lead the flock away from the pasture. If you mix the potion into Alshik's food, the task with the sheep will be easier.
Steal the Takhovsky Maypole
Head to the northern village of Takhov and talk to the local innkeeper Prochek, ask him about the pole and one of the persuasion tests.
Don't choose a replica "Olbram wants to play a trick on you", otherwise you will immediately fail the task and ruin your relationship with the Jelly people.
Prochek will tell you that Ginek, the pole guard, is dating his daughter Manka - the father doesn't like the union, so he asks to sort things out with the guy. You can go two ways:
- Clean the snout - It is enough to say a few offensive words to Hynek and win him in a fist fight, then you will earn an additional 25 groschen.
- Arrange a date - a simpler method. Talk to the lovers and offer them privacy while Henry watches the pole.
Find an axe
Also, to successfully complete the objective, you need to find an axe - the tool can be bought from the blacksmith Radovan or stolen from the nearest house. Wait until it gets dark and go down to the courtyard opposite. Take the one stuck in the tree working axe and continue the walkthrough. If you already have the necessary weapons in your inventory, skip this step and go straight to stealing the pole.
Clean up Ginek's snout
Wait 21-22 hours and go to the pole. Start a conversation with Ginek - choose a line "What about your brothers?" and insult the family's honor. The man is not so good at fistfighting, but you can increase your chances of winning even more by wearing heavy armor. Hit Hynek a few times, after which he will run away and spend the rest of the evening in a bad mood.
After the fight, we advise you not to communicate with Manka and Ginek, as this will ruin Indro's reputation.
Arrange a date between Ginek and Manka
Having decided to go the peaceful way, also talk to Ginek at the pole and choose the following lines:
- How are you?
- What are you talking about? - if you have enough eloquence points.
- Yes, that is right.
- I'll replace you, and you go on your way.
- (End conversation).
Find Manka in the tavern and tell him about the date, then return to the guy and send him to his beloved. Ginek will be busy all evening, you can calmly chop the pole.
Later you can tell Prochek about the date that took place. If you give up the lovers and try to talk to Manka and Ginek, you will lose reputation points.
At night, hide the torch, climb up and cut down the pole. When Henry comes down, look for the fallen wreath on the ground and steal it. If you don't take the pole, sooner or later one of the locals will find it and hide it, but you can roll back the save and do the operation again.
Deliver the Maypole to Olbram
Return to Zheleev and talk to Olbram - give him the Maypole and agree to help in the next prank. If you decided to clean Hynek's face earlier, the old man will pay an extra 25 groschen.
Give Alshik a stomach remedy
Go to the tavern in Tahov and add the potion to Alshik's breakfast - this can be done in the interval with 8: 00 to 13: 00. You can't add the potion to the common pot, so go out to the backyard and look to the right. There should be Alshik's plate by the bench. Make sure no one is watching Indro, and pour the potion into the food.
Ruin the Takhovites' laundry
After 13:00 Find a flock of stray sheep near a paddock on the southwestern edge of Tachov. To scare the cattle, approach from behind and force them to move in the right direction. If the sheep are running in the wrong direction, go around them from the side.
Animals are more afraid of Barbos, which can complicate the task, so it is better to give the dog the command to stay in place and not interfere.
If Alshik is removed, only the old woman watching the laundry will remain on the field - if you catch her eye, you can lose your reputation. Try waiting another hour and drive the cattle straight to the laundry drying on the grass.
You don't have to lead the whole flock to the sheets, you can choose one sheep and direct it so that it runs over four things.
Drive the sheep from the pasture
Once you've dealt with the laundry, bring the six sheep to the edge of the field and make sure the quest objective is completed. To do this, all the animals must reach the dark bushes. After that, you can mount your horse and return to Zheleev.
Tell Olbram about the scattered herd
Tell the quest giver how it went and collect your rewards. Olbram will thank you, and you can choose one of the following lines:
- What's next on your agenda? - opens the quest "War of Mice and Frogs".
- (End conversation) - select a replica if you haven't completed the "Mouse" task yet.
After completing the mission, return to Zheleyev and talk to the innkeeper Prochek. If Henry was spotted with rams or linen, his reputation will decrease, but you will still be able to take the "Mouse" quest and restore yourself in the eyes of the Zheleyevites.
What happens if you give up Olbram?
Throughout the quest, Henry can tell Olbram's plans by talking to Innkeeper Prochek of Tachov. How does this affect the quest:
- get 11 groschen - a small bonus for honesty;
- the "Frogs" task will fail - you will lose a possible reward of 205 groschen;
- the task will start "Mice".
If you want to do two side missions at once and take part in the dispute from different sides, it is better not to set up Olbram or Prochek. First, do one mission, then take on the second one from the "enemy".
Awards
The final rewards depend on the correct completion of the quest and Henry's success:
- 45 groschen - if you just scare away the sheep and fail to complete the additional objectives.
- 85 groschen - for completing all tasks: damaging the laundry and eliminating Alshik.
- 135 groschen - successfully complete all mission objectives and avoid being caught by the Takhians.
If you count the reward for the pole and the victory over Hynek, then in total you can get 205 groschen.
