Kingdom Come: Cabbage Thief Quest - Uncovering Sauerkraut Pepa's Fate

by Julian Feb 23,2025

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, numerous side quests demand crucial decisions impacting NPC fates. This guide focuses on the Cabbage Thief quest and how to handle Sauerkraut Pepa.

Initiating the Cabbage Thief Quest:

Begin by conversing with Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. He's usually found exploring the village during the day or within the tavern. Inquire about recent town events, and he'll reveal the cabbage thefts, directing you to the grocer south of Troskowitz to officially start the quest.

Locating the Cabbage Thief:

Cabbage Thief Location

Follow the trail of scattered cabbages leading from the grocer towards Nebakov Fortress. This path will guide you to a hidden riverside trail, where you'll discover a cabbage-laden cart. Sauerkraut Pepa, the culprit, is just ahead.

The Decision: Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?

Three options present themselves when confronting Pepa: release him, kill him, or hand him over to the authorities.

  • Sparing Pepa: He'll reward you with sauerkraut and offer to prepare more if you provide him with additional cabbages. His unspoilable sauerkraut provides substantial healing and nourishment.

  • Killing or Turning In Pepa: Bailiff Thrush will reward you with 789 Groschen.

The choice depends on your immediate needs. The healing benefits of the sauerkraut might outweigh the monetary reward, especially considering the ease of acquiring money through dice games with the right strategy.
