What to Do With Sauerkraut Pepa in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 (Cabbage Thief Quest Guide)

Author:Kristen Update:Mar 04,2025

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, numerous side quests demand crucial decisions impacting NPCs. This guide focuses on the Cabbage Thief quest and the fate of Sauerkraut Pepa.

Initiating the Cabbage Thief Quest:

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

Locating the Thief:

Cabbage Thief Location

Follow the trail of scattered cabbages leading towards Nebakov Fortress. This path will take you through a riverside route, ultimately leading you to a cart overflowing with cabbages. Sauerkraut Pepa, the culprit, is nearby.

The Decision: Spare or Turn In Pepa?

When confronting Pepa, you have three choices:

  • Spare him: He'll reward you with sauerkraut, and will cook more if you provide him with additional cabbages. His sauerkraut is a non-perishable food item offering significant healing and nourishment.

  • Kill him: This results in a reward from Bailiff Thrush.

  • Turn him in: This also yields a reward from Bailiff Thrush.

Both killing and turning in Pepa reward you with 789 groschen. The best choice depends on your immediate needs. If healing items are more valuable to you than the groschen (especially considering the ease of acquiring money through dice games with the right strategy), sparing Pepa is the more advantageous option.
