In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, side quests like the Cabbage Thief quest offer players pivotal decisions that can significantly impact the fate of NPCs. If you're pondering what to do with Sauerkraut Pepa during this quest, here's a detailed guide to help you navigate your choices.

How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To kick off the Cabbage Thief side quest, head to Troskowitz and find Baliff Thrush. He's typically wandering around the village during the day or can be found in the local tavern. Engage him in conversation and inquire about recent happenings in the town. He'll mention the ongoing cabbage thefts and direct you to the Grocer NPC, located just south of Troskowitz. A chat with the Grocer will officially start the Cabbage Thief quest.

Cabbage Thief Location

To track down the thief, follow the objective marker which leads you to a trail of cabbages scattered on the ground. This trail will guide you along the road towards Nebakov Fortress. Keep an eye out for a hidden path that veers off through a river, where you'll discover 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?

When confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you're presented with three options: spare him, kill him, or turn him in. Choosing to spare him results in him gifting you some sauerkraut and offering to cook more if you supply him with cabbages. Pepe's Sauerkrauts are invaluable as they never spoil and provide substantial healing and nourishment.

On the other hand, if you decide to kill or turn in Sauerkraut Pepa, you'll receive a reward of 789 groschen from Baliff Thrush. The choice hinges on your current needs—whether you prioritize the immediate financial gain or the long-term benefits of the healing items. Personally, the healing items proved more beneficial, especially considering the ease of earning money through dice games with the right strategy.
