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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, choosing between Pebbles and Herring as your trusty steed is a crucial decision for Henry, especially after losing everything in the prologue. Let's dive into the details to help you make the best choice.

How To Find Pebbles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

You'll have the chance to reunite with Pebbles at the Semine estate before the wedding between Lord Semine and Agnes. She's waiting for you at the stables, but you'll need to purchase her if you want her by your side during the "The Jaunt" quest with Jan Semine. Pebbles isn't just any horse; she's Henry's loyal companion, akin to Mutt, whom you can also find through side quests.

How To Receive Herring in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

After completing the "For Whom the Bell Tolls" quest, you can opt to take Herring as your new horse. If you haven't acquired Pebbles or another horse by this point, Otto von Bergow will generously provide you with Herring. Should you already have a horse and decide against keeping Herring, you can strike a deal with Kabat, selling him to nomad traders for 300 Groschen.

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

At first glance, Herring may seem like the superior choice due to his higher base stats. However, this initial impression can be misleading. Each horse in the game unlocks a perk after being ridden for a certain distance, which significantly boosts their stats. This means that horses with initially higher stats don't necessarily remain the best throughout the game.

Pebbles, despite not having the highest base stats, emerges as the best choice for several reasons. Firstly, you can acquire her at a lower cost than many other horses. Secondly, her stat boost is unlocked after riding just 35 kilometers, compared to Herring's 50 kilometers. Once boosted, Pebbles boasts impressive stats:

• 217 stamina
• 353 capacity
• 53 speed
• 12 courage

Pebbles not only offers reliability and decent stats but also sentimental value, having been with Henry before the events of the game. Her ability to unlock her perk faster than other horses makes her an excellent choice for those looking for a dependable companion throughout their journey.

When deciding between Pebbles and Herring, Pebbles stands out as the best option for Henry. With extensive travel ahead, having a steed you can trust is essential, and Pebbles perfectly fits the bill.
