Mastering Mounts in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: A Guide to Acquiring Your Steed
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's expansive world can feel daunting initially. Efficient travel is key, and that means acquiring a horse. This guide outlines two methods: reclaiming your original horse, Pebbles, or stealing a new one.
Reclaiming Pebbles:
Your starting horse, Pebbles, can be retrieved from the horse trader in Semine (south). However, securing her return requires either paying Groschen, employing persuasion, or intimidation. In my experience, progressing through the main questline and aligning with Radovan the blacksmith provided the necessary social standing (better clothing) to persuade the trader without financial cost, though it did impact my reputation slightly. If persuasion fails, prepare to pay.
Stealing a Horse:
Alternatively, you can acquire a horse through less legitimate means. Wild horses are rare; your best bet is targeting farms or stables. This carries the risk of being caught.
I recommend the farmhouse near Vidlak Pond (west). The fishermen there possess two horses, easily stolen.
Once you've secured a horse, visit the horse trainer at the Nomads' Camp (east of Vidlak Pond) to learn saddling and taming. This requires payment. Alternatively, you can ride your newly acquired steed unsaddled.
