Where to find the Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

While exploring the lands of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you’ll encounter many peculiar characters who either want to kill you or need your help. In particular, you may have run into a quest involving a cabbage thief that’s caused some trouble. Here’s where to find this leafy thief.

How to start the Cabbage Thief quest in KCD2

You can start the Cabbage Thief quest by speaking to Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. Since this mission is considered a free-roam objective, there won’t be a waypoint for this character. Based on my experience, he tends to roam around this village, so try to look out for his yellowish clothing. You may also greet him during the Bad Blood quest, which will place a marker on his location.

Once you’ve encountered Baliff Thrush, ask him, “What’s new?” and he eventually tells you about the cabbage thief. He’ll also direct you to the Grocer, thus beginning the mission.

How to find the Cabbage Thief in KCD2

Locate the Grocer south of Troskowitz to learn more about the cabbage thief’s whereabouts. You can use the Semine fast travel point to get here faster.

Next, talk to the Peasant at the Grocer to narrow down the thief’s location.

After speaking to the Peasant, you can go south of the Grocer to follow a trail of cabbages.

Eventually, you’ll end up at the Cabbage Cave on the southwest side of the Grocer.

Sauerkraut Pepa, aka the cabbage thief, will be lingering around here. Confront him to see why he’s been stealing cabbages.

Should you attack, turn in, or let go of Sauerkraut Pepa in KCD2?

You’ll have to decide whether to let Sauerkraut Pepa go, turn him in, or attack him. But before you do that, question him a bit more, and he’ll give you a sauerkraut as a gift, triggering a +1 vitality bonus. Once you’ve gained the item, I find it best to turn in Sauerkraut Pepa to get 789 Groschen. It’s pretty challenging to earn money in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, especially in the beginning, so this option is well worth it.

However, it’s still possible to claim the money even after you’ve eliminated him since the Baliff seems to give you the coins, regardless. But if you want to save yourself from a ruthless killing, simply turn him in to avoid violence altogether. You can also let him go to gain more of his delicious sauerkraut.

Those who decide to turn him can return to the Baliff at Troskowitz and tell him: ‘I found the cabbage thief’ to get your money. Now, you may be able to afford expensive purchases like a horse or upgraded armor.
