After the opening section of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you're able to dive into side quests and explore the world more freely. One such quest involves finding Vostatek's horse, Pepik, and completing this quest can net you a substantial reward.

Start your journey by picking up the side quest "Lackey," which you can get from Zlata at Gamemaster Vostatek's home, located to the west of Tachov. Alternatively, you can speak with Vitek to initiate the quest, as Zlata will send you to him anyway. Vitek is slightly southeast of the house, marked by the B on the map above. This sets you on a path to the north, where you'll encounter Vostatek being attacked by wolves.

Searching for Pepik in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
After rescuing Vostatek from the wolves, he'll ask you to carry him to his camping spot where he left his horse, Pepik. Following his directions is straightforward, but keep an eye on your stamina; if it drops too low, you'll drop Vostatek.
Upon reaching the camping site, Vostatek discovers that Pepik is missing. Your next task is to follow the traces of Pepik along the path. As you approach each clue, you'll get a prompt to examine it. After inspecting each clue, continue following the path until you reach a poacher's camp.

As Vostatek suspected, Pepik has been taken by poachers in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. You'll find him at the back of their camp. Fortunately, the poachers move around, allowing you to engage them in smaller groups rather than all at once. Those roaming the edges of the camp are easier targets, and if you can isolate them, most will beg for mercy before you finish them off. You can also bypass the two tougher poachers in the camp by quickly mounting Pepik and riding away before they can attack. Note that you won't have a chance to rest between finding Vostatek and Pepik, so your health might be low depending on how the wolf fight went.
Once you've retrieved Pepik, return him to Vostatek's camp. When you speak with Vostatek, you'll have the option to ride back to his home with him, which is the fast travel choice. Upon arrival, you'll be rewarded with Groschen and a place to stay whenever you need it.
With Pepik safely returned to Vostatek in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you can now pursue other quests or explore romantic storylines. Additionally, the money you've earned can be used to purchase more equipment if needed.
*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
