You, as Henry, face a crucial decision: choosing your trusty steed from two contenders, Pebbles and Herring, in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The prologue cruelly strips you of your original horse, leaving this choice all the more important.
How To Find Pebbles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Your reunion with Pebbles occurs at the Semine estate, before Lord Semine and Agnes' wedding. She's awaiting you in the stables, but requires a purchase to become your ride during the "The Jaunt" quest with Jan Semine. Consider her a loyal companion, much like Mutt, another recruitable friend through side quests.
How To Acquire Herring in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Herring becomes available after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls." If you haven't acquired another horse, Otto von Bergow gifts him to you. Otherwise, you can sell him to Kabat for 300 Groschen.
Should You Choose Pebbles or Herring in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
Pebbles emerges as the superior choice. Although not possessing the highest stats even after the boost, her lower acquisition cost and faster perk unlock (after 35 kilometers versus Herring's 50) make her a remarkable bargain. Her boosted stats are impressive: 217 stamina, 353 capacity, 53 speed, and 12 courage. Furthermore, her pre-existing bond with Henry adds sentimental value.
For extensive travel, a reliable steed is essential. Pebbles' combination of affordability, relatively high boosted stats, and early acquisition, coupled with her history with Henry, makes her the ideal choice.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
