Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Mice Walkthrough

The side quests "Mice" and "Battle of the Frogs and Mice" in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will become available in the town of Tachov, located west of Trosky Castle. In this guide, we will detail the walkthrough of these quests and explain how to prepare a sedative yourself and where to get paint for free.

Visit the innkeeper Procek in Tachov and ask if he needs help. He will tell you about the antics of the residents of Zheleevo and propose a cunning plan for revenge: Old Olbram, the owner of the largest plot in Zheleevo, has a magnificent bull. Procek suggests painting it. But before you start, you need to get paint and a potion to temporarily put the bull to sleep.

You have several ways to get the "Lullaby Potion" recipe from Radovan: successfully pass a skill check or buy it. If you don't have extra funds, you can safely skip this step, as in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, recipes remain unchanged even if you haven't studied them.

To prepare three units of the lullaby potion at once, you'll need to brew the concoction perfectly. Otherwise, you'll get one unit of weak potion or two units of medium decoction.

Head to any alchemy table, bringing the following ingredients with you:

Almost all plants can be purchased from apothecaries or found in the open world. For example, thistle and poppy can be collected a few meters from Radovan's forge.

When you are ready, go to the alchemy table and use this recipe:

If you end up with a weak or regular potion, you'll need to repeat the steps, as you need three vials of sleeping potion to complete the quest.

The tailor from Troskovice can help with the paint. The base price for this item is 60 groschen, but if you can pass a persuasion check, ask Bartoshek a question. He will start a long story, but do not interrupt him. When he finishes his monologue, he will give you a vial of paint for free.

Wait until morning and head to Zheleevo. In one of the barns, there will be a bull. You should wait a few more hours until the herdsman leads the cattle to the pasture. This usually happens between 9-11 AM.

When the barn is empty, go inside and pour the lullaby potion into the trough, then leave the scene of the crime and wait until evening. The herdsman returns the cattle around 9-10 PM.

Try not to linger too long, as being on the farm premises is prohibited from midnight. Pass by the two servants and paint the bull. You can choose to:

Return to Procek and tell him how it went. As a reward, he will give you only 85 groschen. If you had spent 100 groschen on the potion recipe and 60 groschen on the paint, you would be at a significant loss. However, the story doesn't end there.

The quest will start automatically during a conversation with the innkeeper if you decide to take part in the mass brawl at the pasture. We recommend leveling up your fistfighting skill in advance, as there will be plenty of opponents. Of course, you can try to use a skill check to reduce the number of enemies, but the fight will still be uneven.

When the crowd starts the skirmish, say "Why don't you just make peace?", then "This is Olbram's fight, not yours" (persuasion check). If you succeed, a few people from the Zheleevo gang will leave.

Use the skills you've acquired in the game to deal with the Zheleevo gang, focusing on Old Olbram first. We can't provide any specific combat tips. For winning the battle, you will receive 90 groschen.
