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 far more efficient on horseback. While several mounts are available, this guide focuses on obtaining the best horse: Pebbles.
Why Pebbles Reigns Supreme
While technically other horses possess marginally superior stats, Pebbles offers the best combination of performance and accessibility. Unlocking the "Good Old Pebbles" perk significantly boosts her attributes, making her a top contender.
Pebbles' Enhanced Stats (with perk):
- Stamina: 217
- Capacity: 353
- Speed: 53
- Courage: 12
Acquiring Pebbles:
Early in the game, journey to Semine and locate the horse trader. A high Speech skill allows you to acquire Pebbles for free; otherwise, a modest fee is required.
Crucially, riding Pebbles for approximately 35 kilometers unlocks the "Good Old Pebbles" perk, substantially enhancing her capabilities. This makes further investment in other, more expensive horses unnecessary.
Alternative Mounts (but not as good):
For those seeking alternatives, consider these options, but be aware of their significantly higher costs and the need for additional perks to reach their full potential:
- Herring (Trosky Castle): Obtained after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls," Herring is free but lags behind Pebbles in capacity and speed.
- Kincsern (Kuttenberg): Boasting the highest stamina (235) and speed (60), Kincsern commands a hefty price of 5,260 groschen.
- Pisek Lad (Kuttenberg): A strong all-arounder, surpassing Pebbles in speed and courage, but priced at a steep 7,560 groschen.
The substantial price difference for minimal stat improvements makes Pebbles the most practical and ultimately best horse in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Her readily available nature and significant post-perk enhancements solidify her position as the top choice.
