Pebbles or Herring: Best Choice in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the choice between Pebbles and Herring as your trusty steed is a pivotal one. As Henry, you'll find yourself without a horse after the prologue, but later, you'll have the opportunity to choose between these two companions.

How To Find Pebbles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

You'll reunite with Pebbles at the Semine estate before the wedding between Lord Semine and Agnes. She's available at the stables, but you'll need to purchase her to ride her during your quest with Jan Semine, known as "The Jaunt." Pebbles is not just any horse; she's Henry's trusted companion, akin to Mutt, another beloved character you can find through side quests.

How To Receive Herring in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

After completing the quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls," you can opt to take Herring as your new horse. If you haven't acquired Pebbles or another horse by this point, Herring comes to you courtesy of Otto von Bergow. Should you already have a horse and decide against keeping Herring, you can sell him to Kabat for 300 Groschen, who will then trade him to nomad traders.

Should You Choose Pebbles or Herring in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

At first glance, Herring might seem the better choice due to his higher base stats. However, this can be misleading. Each horse unlocks a perk after being ridden a specific distance, which boosts its stats. This means horses with better initial stats don't necessarily end up with the best stats in the long run.

Pebbles, despite not having the highest stats even after her boost, becomes the best horse you can get. You can acquire her for a lower price than many other horses, and her perk is unlocked after riding just 35 kilometers, compared to Herring's 50 kilometers. Once boosted, Pebbles' stats are:

• 217 stamina
• 353 capacity
• 53 speed
• 12 courage

Pebbles is not only reliable but also a great bargain. The sentimental value she holds, having been with Henry before the game's events, adds to her appeal. She's a horse you can trust throughout your extensive travels in the game.

When choosing between Pebbles and Herring in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, opting for Pebbles is the best decision. Her early availability, faster perk unlock, and the bond she shares with Henry make her the ideal steed for your journey.

*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
