How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To embark on the Cabbage Thief side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you'll need to converse with Baliff Thrush in Troskowitz. You can find him wandering the village during the day or inside the tavern. Approach him and inquire about recent happenings in the town. He'll mention the ongoing issue of stolen cabbages and direct you to the Grocer NPC located just south of Troskowitz. Engaging with the Grocer will officially initiate the Cabbage Thief quest.

Cabbage Thief Location

Your quest to locate the thief begins by following the objective marker, which leads you to a trail of cabbages scattered along the ground. Continue following this trail along the road, which will eventually guide you toward Nebakov Fortress. The path takes a slight detour through a hidden route by the river, leading you to a cart brimming with cabbages. Just beyond this cart, you'll encounter Sauerkraut Pepa, the notorious cabbage thief.

Should You Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?

Upon confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you face a crucial decision with three options: spare him, kill him, or turn him in.

• Spare Him: Choosing to let Sauerkraut Pepa go results in him rewarding you with some sauerkraut. Additionally, he offers to cook more for you if you bring him cabbages. Pepe's Sauerkrauts are invaluable, as they never spoil and provide significant healing and nourishment.

• Kill or Turn Him In: Opting to kill or turn in Sauerkraut Pepa earns you a monetary reward from Baliff Thrush, amounting to 789 groschen.

The choice hinges on your current needs: immediate money or long-term benefits from the healing items. Personally, I found the healing items from sparing Pepa more beneficial, especially given the ease of earning money through dice games with the right strategy.
