Exploring the vast world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 on foot is a recipe for sore feet. Thankfully, the game offers a variety of mounts, making horseback riding the preferred method of travel. This guide will show you how to acquire the best horse in the game.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - The Best Horse
Pebbles is the clear winner, but unlocking her full potential requires the "Good Old Pebbles" perk. While other horses might boast slightly superior stats, Pebbles offers the best combination of performance and accessibility. With the perk active, Pebbles boasts impressive stats:
- Stamina: 217
- Capacity: 353
- Speed: 53
- Courage: 12
How to Get Pebbles
Acquiring Pebbles is surprisingly straightforward. Early in the game, visit the horse trader in Semine. A high Speech skill allows you to obtain Pebbles for free; otherwise, a small fee is required.
To maximize Pebbles' potential, ride her for approximately 35 km to unlock the "Good Old Pebbles" perk. This significantly boosts her stats, making her a top contender. Her ease of acquisition and powerful post-perk stats make her the most practical choice. The cost and difficulty of acquiring horses with only marginally better stats simply aren't worth it.
Other Horse Options in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
If you're still curious about other mounts, here are a few alternatives:
- Herring (Trosky Castle): Obtained for free after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls," Herring lags slightly behind Pebbles in capacity and speed. A perk is also required to unlock its full potential.
- Kincsern (Kuttenberg): Boasting the highest stamina (235) and speed (60), Kincsern comes with a hefty price tag of 5,260 groschen.
- Pisek Lad (Kuttenberg): Another strong all-arounder, surpassing Pebbles in speed and courage, but at a steep cost of 7,560 groschen.
The significant price difference for minimal stat increases makes Pebbles the most worthwhile option.
