Should You Use Pebbles or Herring in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?

Choosing Your Steed in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: Pebbles vs. Herring

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, reclaiming a trusty steed is a priority after the prologue's devastating events. You'll face a choice between two horses: Pebbles and Herring. Which one should you choose?

Pebbles: The Familiar Friend

You'll encounter Pebbles at the Semine estate before Lord Semine and Agnes' wedding. She's located in the stables, but requires purchase to ride during the "The Jaunt" quest with Jan Semine. However, Pebbles holds sentimental value as Henry's former companion, similar to Mutt.

Herring: The Powerful Contender

Herring becomes available after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls." He's offered by Otto von Bergow if you lack another horse, or can be purchased from Kabat for 300 Groschen.

The Verdict: Pebbles Reigns Supreme

While Herring boasts initially higher base stats, this advantage is deceptive. Each horse unlocks a stat-boosting perk after a certain riding distance. Pebbles' perk unlocks after only 35 kilometers, compared to Herring's 50 kilometers. This makes her the more efficient choice.

After the perk activation, Pebbles offers respectable stats:

• 217 Stamina
• 353 Capacity
• 53 Speed
• 12 Courage

Her affordability (potentially free) and faster perk unlock, combined with her sentimental value and reliable performance, make Pebbles the superior choice for Henry's long journeys. She's the trusty steed you can depend on.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
