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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, choosing the right horse can significantly impact your journey. You'll have the option to select between two horses: Pebbles and Herring. Let's dive into the details to help you make an informed decision.

How To Find Pebbles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

You can reunite with Pebbles at the Semine estate before the wedding between Lord Semine and Agnes. She's waiting in the stables, but you'll need to purchase her to ride her during the "The Jaunt" quest with Jan Semine before the wedding. Pebbles is not just any horse; she's Henry's trusted steed and has been his loyal companion, much like Mutt, who you can find through side quests.

How To Receive Herring in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

After completing the quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls," you have the opportunity to take Herring as your new horse. If you haven't already acquired Pebbles or another horse, Herring comes to you courtesy of Otto von Bergow. However, if you already have a horse and decide against Herring, you can sell him to nomad traders through Kabat for 300 Groschen.

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

Screenshot by The Escapist At first glance, Herring might seem like the better choice due to his higher base stats. However, this initial advantage can be misleading. Each horse in the game unlocks a perk after being ridden for a specific distance, which boosts its stats. This means that horses with higher base stats don't necessarily remain superior throughout the game.

Pebbles emerges as the superior choice. Although her base stats are lower than Herring's, her perk is unlocked after riding just 35 kilometers, compared to Herring's 50 kilometers. Once boosted, Pebbles' stats are impressive:

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

Pebbles not only offers reliability and decent stats but also comes at a lower cost, making her an excellent value. Additionally, the sentimental value of reuniting with a horse that has been with Henry since before the game's events adds a personal touch to your journey.

When deciding between Pebbles and Herring in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Pebbles is the clear choice. Given the extensive travel you'll undertake, having a reliable and quickly improved steed like Pebbles is essential for Henry's adventures.
