Pebbles vs. Herring: Best Choice in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, one of the pivotal decisions you'll face is choosing between two horses: Pebbles and Herring. After losing everything in the prologue, Henry's journey is filled with choices, and selecting the right steed is crucial for your adventures across the game's expansive world.

How to Find Pebbles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

You'll have the opportunity to reunite with Pebbles at the Semine estate before the wedding of Lord Semine and Agnes. She can be found in the stables, and to ride her during your quest with Jan Semine, called "The Jaunt," you'll need to purchase her. Pebbles isn't just any horse; she's Henry's trusted companion, akin to his loyal dog Mutt, who you can also 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 another horse by this point, Herring is provided to you by Otto von Bergow. Should you already have a horse and decide against keeping Herring, you can negotiate a deal with Kabat to sell him to nomad traders for 300 Groschen.

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

Pebbles, despite not having the highest stats even after her boost, is arguably the best choice. You can acquire her at a lower cost than many other horses, and her perk activates after just 35 kilometers of riding, compared to Herring's 50 kilometers. Pebbles' boosted stats include 217 stamina, 353 capacity, 53 speed, and 12 courage. This makes her a reliable and cost-effective option, especially considering you can obtain her for free.

Moreover, the sentimental value of Pebbles cannot be overstated; she has been with Henry before the game's events and continues to journey with him. Given the extensive travel required in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, having a dependable steed like Pebbles is invaluable.

When deciding between Pebbles and Herring, the choice is clear: Pebbles is the superior option for Henry. She offers a great balance of stats, affordability, and emotional connection, making her the perfect companion for your adventures in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
