In the expansive world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, traversing the vast landscapes on foot is not the most efficient way to explore, especially with the plethora of horse-related activities at your disposal. Here's your guide to securing the best horse in the game, ensuring your journeys are both swift and enjoyable.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Best Horse
The crown jewel among horses in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is none other than Pebbles. To unlock this top-tier steed, you'll first need to acquire the Good Old Pebbles perk. Although there are other horses in the game that may boast slightly superior stats, Pebbles stands out due to its affordability and accessibility. Once the perk is activated, Pebbles boasts impressive stats:
- Stamina: 217
- Capacity: 353
- Speed: 53
- Courage: 12
How to Get Pebbles
You can acquire Pebbles early in the game by heading to Semine and negotiating with the horse trader NPC. With high enough Speech skills, you can persuade the trader to give you Pebbles for free. Otherwise, you'll need to pay a small fee. To unlock Pebbles' full potential, you must ride approximately 35 km with the horse, which will make the Good Old Pebbles perk available. Once unlocked, Pebbles' stats receive a significant boost, making it one of the best horses in the game and an unbeatable choice considering the cost and difficulty of obtaining other horses.
Other Horse Options in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
For those interested in exploring other equine options, consider the following:
- Herring (available at Trosky Castle after completing the quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls") offers a free alternative, though it lags slightly behind Pebbles in capacity and speed. A specific perk is needed to maximize Herring's potential.
- Kincsern (found in Kuttenberg) boasts the highest stamina and speed in the game at 235 and 60, respectively, but comes with a hefty price tag of 5,260 groschen.
- Pisek Lad (also in Kuttenberg) excels in speed and courage, surpassing Pebbles in these areas, but is priced at an expensive 7,560 groschen.
Given the exorbitant costs and marginal stat improvements of these alternatives, Pebbles remains the most practical and best horse choice in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
