In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, side quests like the Cabbage Thief quest offer engaging narratives and impactful choices, particularly regarding the fate of NPC Sauerkraut Pepa. If you're pondering over what to do with Sauerkraut Pepa, here's a comprehensive guide to help you make an informed decision.

How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To kick off the Cabbage Thief side quest, head to Troskowitz and find Bailiff Thrush. He's usually wandering around the village during the day or can be found in the local tavern. Strike up a conversation with him about the goings-on in town, and he'll mention the mysterious cabbage thefts. This will prompt you to visit the Grocer NPC just south of Troskowitz, where you can officially start the quest.

Cabbage Thief Location

Once you're on the trail, follow your objective marker to find scattered cabbages on the ground. Track this trail along the road until it leads you towards Nebakov Fortress. Keep your eyes peeled for a hidden path that veers off through the river, where you'll discover a cart brimming with cabbages. Not far from the cart, you'll encounter Sauerkraut Pepa, the notorious cabbage thief.

Should You Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?

When confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you're faced with three choices: spare him, kill him, or turn him in. Opting 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; they never spoil and provide significant healing and nourishment.

On the other hand, choosing to kill or turn in Sauerkraut Pepa will earn you a reward of 789 groschen from Bailiff Thrush. The decision hinges on your current needs—whether you prioritize the immediate financial gain or the long-term benefits of having a reliable source of healing items. Personally, the healing benefits of Pepe's Sauerkrauts proved more advantageous, especially given the ease of earning money through dice games with the right strategy.
