In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the expansive open-world and array of horse-related activities make it essential to have a reliable steed. Walking everywhere is simply not an option when you can ride the best horse in the game. Here's your guide to securing the top equine companion, Pebbles, and exploring other horse options in the game.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Best Horse
In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Pebbles emerges as the best horse you can acquire, but you'll need to unlock the Good Old Pebbles perk to maximize its potential. While other horses may boast slightly superior stats, Pebbles stands out due to its affordability and ease of acquisition.
Once you've unlocked the perk, Pebbles boasts impressive stats:
- Stamina: 217
- Capacity: 353
- Speed: 53
- Courage: 12
How to Get Pebbles
You can obtain Pebbles early in the game by heading to Semine and negotiating with the horse trader NPC. If your Speech skill is high enough, you can persuade the trader to give you Pebbles for free. Otherwise, you'll need to pay a modest fee.
To unlock Pebbles' full potential, you must ride approximately 35 km with it. This will unlock the Good Old Pebbles perk, significantly boosting all of Pebbles' stats. This enhancement places Pebbles among the elite horses in the game, making it the most cost-effective and practical choice.
Other Horse Options in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
If you're interested in exploring other horse options, consider these alternatives:
- Herring (Trosky Castle): Obtainable for free after completing the quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls." While it lags slightly behind Pebbles in capacity and speed, unlocking its perk can enhance its performance.
- Kincsern (Kuttenberg): Boasts the highest stamina (235) and speed (60) in the game, but comes with a hefty price tag of 5,260 groschen.
- Pisek Lad (Kuttenberg): An excellent all-rounder that surpasses Pebbles in speed and courage, yet it costs a steep 7,560 groschen.
Given the high cost and marginal stat improvements of these alternatives, Pebbles remains the best choice for most players due to its accessibility and value.
