How to Get the Best Horse in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

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 easier on horseback. While several mounts are available, Pebbles reigns supreme for its combination of accessibility and performance. This guide details how to obtain and optimize this exceptional horse.

Why Pebbles is the Best Choice

While technically other horses boast slightly superior base stats, Pebbles' affordability and ease of acquisition make it the ideal mount. Its true potential is unlocked through the "Good Old Pebbles" perk.

Acquiring Pebbles

Early in the game, visit the horse trader in Semine. High Speech skill allows for a free acquisition; otherwise, a modest fee is required.

Unlocking Pebbles' Full Potential

Ride Pebbles for approximately 35 kilometers to unlock the "Good Old Pebbles" perk. This significantly boosts its stats, making it a top contender:

• Stamina: 217
• Capacity: 353
• Speed: 53
• Courage: 12

After unlocking the perk, the slight stat advantages of other, far more expensive horses, become insignificant.

Alternative Mounts

For players seeking alternatives, consider these options, but be aware of their significantly higher cost and the need for additional perks to reach their full potential:

• Herring (Trosky Castle): Obtained after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls," Herring offers decent stats 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 cost-benefit analysis clearly favors Pebbles.

Conclusion

For the best balance of performance and accessibility in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Pebbles is the clear winner. Its readily available nature and significant stat boost after unlocking the "Good Old Pebbles" perk make it the superior choice.
