Pebbles vs. Herring in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Which to Choose?

Mar 28,25

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

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 at the stables, but you'll need to purchase her to ride her during your quest with Jan Semine, known as "The Jaunt." Pebbles isn't just any horse; she's Henry's trusted companion, much like 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 Pebbles or another horse by this point, Herring comes to you courtesy of Otto von Bergow. Should you already have a horse and decide against Herring, you can sell him to nomad traders through Kabat for 300 Groschen.

At first glance, Herring might seem 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 a certain distance, which varies per horse. This perk significantly boosts the horse's stats, meaning horses with initially better stats don't necessarily remain the best throughout the game.

Pebbles emerges as the top choice for several reasons. Although her base stats aren't the highest, her perk, which boosts her stats after just 35 kilometers of riding, makes her a formidable steed. Her boosted stats are as follows:

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

In contrast, Herring's perk requires 50 kilometers of riding to unlock. Pebbles can be obtained for free, and her early availability combined with the quicker perk unlock makes her an excellent bargain. Moreover, the sentimental value of having Pebbles, who has been with Henry since before the game's events, adds to her appeal.

When choosing between Pebbles and Herring in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Pebbles is the clear winner. With extensive traveling ahead, you need a reliable steed, and Pebbles fits the bill perfectly.

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