Unlocking the Best Steed in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: A Guide to Acquiring Pebbles
Exploring the vast open world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is significantly enhanced by horseback riding. Walking everywhere is simply impractical. This guide will show you how to obtain the best horse in the game: Pebbles.
Why Pebbles is the Best
While other horses boast slightly superior stats, Pebbles offers the best combination of performance, acquisition cost, and ease of obtaining. Unlocking the "Good Old Pebbles" perk is key to maximizing her potential. With this perk, Pebbles' stats are:
- Stamina: 217
- Capacity: 353
- Speed: 53
- Courage: 12
Acquiring Pebbles
Pebbles is available early in the game. Visit the horse trader in Semine. A high Speech skill allows you to acquire her for free; otherwise, a small fee is required.
To fully realize Pebbles' potential, ride her approximately 35 kilometers. This unlocks the "Good Old Pebbles" perk, significantly boosting her stats. After unlocking the perk, her enhanced stats make her a top contender, surpassing the cost and difficulty associated with obtaining horses with marginally better individual stats.
Alternative Horse Options
For players seeking alternative mounts, consider these options:
-
Herring (Trosky Castle): Obtainable for free after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls." While a solid choice, it falls slightly short of Pebbles in capacity and speed. A perk is also required to unlock its full potential.
-
Kincsern (Kuttenberg): Boasts the game's highest stamina (235) and speed (60), but commands a hefty price of 5,260 groschen.
-
Pisek Lad (Kuttenberg): Another strong all-around horse, exceeding Pebbles in speed and courage, but priced at a steep 7,560 groschen.
The significant cost difference and minimal stat improvements make Pebbles the most practical and efficient choice.
