Pebbles vs. Herring: Best Choice in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, one of the key decisions you'll face is choosing between two horses: Pebbles and Herring. This choice is crucial as your steed will be your constant companion throughout your adventures in the game. Let's delve into the details to help you make an informed decision.

How to Find Pebbles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

You'll have the chance to reunite with Pebbles at the Semine estate before the wedding between Lord Semine and Agnes. She's waiting for you at the stables, but you'll need to purchase her to ride her during your quest with Jan Semine, known as "The Jaunt." Pebbles is not just any horse; she's Henry's trusted steed, akin to Mutt, who you can also find through side quests. Her familiarity and bond with Henry make her a sentimental choice.

How to Receive Herring in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

After completing the quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls," you can opt to take Herring as your new horse. If you haven't acquired Pebbles or any other horse by this point, Herring becomes your steed, courtesy of Otto von Bergow. If you already have another horse and decide against Herring, you can sell him to nomad traders through Kabat for 300 Groschen.

Should You Choose Pebbles or Herring in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

At first glance, Herring may seem like the superior choice due to his higher base stats. However, this initial advantage can be misleading. As you ride your horse a specific distance, which varies for each horse, you unlock a perk that boosts its stats. This means that horses with initially better stats don't necessarily maintain that edge throughout the game.

Pebbles, despite not having the highest stats even after her boost, becomes the best choice for several reasons. You can acquire her at a lower cost compared to many other horses, and her stat boost is unlocked after just 35 kilometers of riding. In contrast, Herring requires 50 kilometers to unlock his boost. Pebbles' boosted stats include:

• 217 stamina
• 353 capacity
• 53 speed
• 12 courage

Pebbles proves to be a reliable and cost-effective choice. Her early availability and quicker stat boost make her an excellent bargain. Moreover, the sentimental value she holds, having been with Henry before the game and journeying alongside him, adds to her appeal.

When deciding between Pebbles and Herring in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Pebbles is the clear winner. With extensive traveling ahead, you need a dependable steed, and Pebbles fits the bill perfectly for Henry.
