In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, exploring the vast open world on horseback is not just a luxury, it's a necessity. With various equestrian activities at your disposal, opting for the best horse is a no-brainer. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to secure the top steed in the game.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Best Horse
The crown jewel among the horses in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is none other than Pebbles. To unlock Pebbles' full potential, you must first acquire the Good Old Pebbles perk.
While there are other horses with marginally superior stats, Pebbles stands out for its exceptional value and ease of acquisition. Once you unlock the perk, Pebbles boasts the following impressive stats:
- Stamina: 217
- Capacity: 353
- Speed: 53
- Courage: 12
How to Get Pebbles
You can obtain Pebbles early in your journey. Head to Semine and engage with the horse trader NPC. With high enough Speech skills, you can persuade the trader to part with Pebbles at no cost. If your Speech isn't up to par, you'll need to pay a nominal fee.
To unlock the full potential of Pebbles and the Good Old Pebbles perk, you'll need to ride approximately 35 km with your trusty steed. Once you achieve this, the perk becomes available, significantly boosting Pebbles' stats. At this point, Pebbles ranks among the elite horses in the game, making other options less appealing due to their high cost and difficulty in acquisition.
Other Horse Options in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
For those interested in exploring alternative equine companions, consider these notable options:
- Herring (available at Trosky Castle after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls"): A solid choice, though it lags slightly behind Pebbles in capacity and speed. Unlocking a specific perk for Herring is necessary to maximize its potential.
- Kincsern (located in Kuttenberg): Boasts the highest stamina (235) and speed (60) in the game, but comes with a hefty price tag of 5,260 groschen.
- Pisek Lad (also in Kuttenberg): An excellent all-rounder, surpassing Pebbles in speed and courage, yet priced at a staggering 7,560 groschen.
Given the exorbitant prices and marginal stat improvements of these alternatives, Pebbles remains the unbeatable choice for the best horse in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
