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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, selecting the right horse is crucial for Henry's adventures. After losing everything in the prologue, you'll eventually have the opportunity to choose between two horses: Pebbles and Herring. Let's dive into the details of each horse to help you make an informed decision.

How to Find Pebbles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

You'll reunite with Pebbles at the Semine estate before the wedding between Lord Semine and Agnes. She's waiting at the stables, and you can purchase her to ride during the quest "The Jaunt" with Jan Semine before the wedding. Pebbles isn't just any horse; she's Henry's trusted companion, akin to 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 have the option to take Herring as your new horse. If you haven't acquired Pebbles or another horse by this point, Herring becomes your steed, courtesy of Otto von Bergow. Should you already own another horse and decide against Herring, you can sell him to Kabat for 300 Groschen to nomad traders.

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

At first glance, Herring might seem the superior choice with his higher base stats. However, this is deceptive. Each horse unlocks a perk after being ridden for a specific distance, which boosts its stats. This means that horses with initially better stats don't necessarily maintain that advantage throughout the game.

Pebbles, despite not having the highest stats even after her boost, emerges as the best choice. You can acquire her for a lower price than many other horses, and her perk is unlocked after just 35 kilometers of riding, compared to Herring's 50 kilometers. Pebbles' boosted stats are:

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

Pebbles is a reliable choice with decent stats, and the fact that you can obtain her early and unlock her perk quickly makes her a fantastic bargain. Additionally, the sentimental value she holds, having been with Henry before the game and journeying alongside him, cannot be overlooked.

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