In the expansive world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, exploring on horseback is not just a convenience but an essential part of the experience. With a variety of equestrian activities at your disposal, it's crucial to have the best steed by your side. Here’s your guide to securing the top horse in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Best Horse
When it comes to the best horse in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Pebbles reigns supreme. To harness Pebbles' full potential, you'll need to unlock the Good Old Pebbles perk. While other horses may boast marginally superior stats, Pebbles offers the best balance of performance, affordability, and ease of acquisition.
With the Good Old Pebbles perk unlocked, Pebbles boasts impressive stats:
- 217 stamina
- 353 capacity
- 53 speed
- 12 courage
How to Get Pebbles
You can acquire Pebbles early in the game by heading to Semine and negotiating with the horse trader NPC. If your Speech skill is high enough, you can persuade the trader to give you Pebbles for free. Otherwise, you'll need to pay a small fee.
To unlock the Good Old Pebbles perk and maximize Pebbles' capabilities, you'll need to ride approximately 35 km with him. Once unlocked, Pebbles' stats will surge, placing him among the elite horses in the game. Given the high cost and difficulty of obtaining other horses, Pebbles' minor stat differences are hardly worth the investment.
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 "For Whom the Bell Tolls") - While slightly behind Pebbles in capacity and speed, Herring can be obtained for free and requires a perk to reach its full potential.
- Kincsern (found in Kuttenberg) - Boasts the highest stamina (235) and speed (60) 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 7,560 groschen.
These alternatives, though boasting higher stats, come at a significantly higher cost and with greater difficulty in acquisition, making Pebbles the most practical choice for players looking to optimize their gameplay experience.
