The Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 world is so cool to explore with countless gameplay mechanics and activities to try. You can gamble, wrestle in tournaments, romance women, steal items, craft potions, and whatnot! You can also get horses to travel around towns quickly, but for that, you will need to find one. So, how to get a horse in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? Let’s discuss the options and see which one’s right for you.
1. Steal a Horse
Stealing a horse is the easiest way to get a horse in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. But it will be temporary as you cannot keep a stolen horse forever. Travel to Semine located southwest of Troskowitz, and then you can steal a horse grazing in the fields. But make sure no one spots you doing this else you can get in trouble. If you get caught stealing, the townspeople will report you to the authorities and you might have to pay a fine. Moreover, You will lose the stolen horse once you dismount it, and then you will have to steal one again. So before you have enough money to buy a permanent horse, you can survive with a stolen one.
2. Buy a Horse
The most reliable and stable option to own a horse is to buy one. Visit the nearest horse trader and buy a horse according to your affordability. The cheapest horse is Pebbles which can be purchased for 160 Groschen. You can also try bargaining, and if your speech skills are good enough, you can land a lower price for the horse. And if your speech skills are up to 7, you can also get the horse for free by talking to and convincing the horse trader to give it to you for free.
You can buy horses through these locations:
- Semine Castle: Southwest of Troskowitz.
- Kuttenberg City: Just south of the western gate within the city walls.
- Grund: East of Devil’s Den.
- Horse Farm West of Maleshov: At the southernmost point of the map, down from Bylany.
3. Get Pebbles Back for Free
Pebbles is your old horse and it’s possible to get her back for free. You need to visit Groom Ballatay and there you will recognise your Pebbles grazing in the fields. Talk to Ballatay and ask him to return your horse. If your speech skills are a minimum of 7, you can select the ‘Be reasonable’ option and convince him that Pebbles is your horse and he should return it to you. If you are not able to pass the persuasion checks a few times, Ballatay will not listen to you anymore and convince you to buy the horse.
4. Get a Free Horse in the Story
You can get a free horse by advancing in the story in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. As you progress in the main storyline, you’ll receive a horse named Herring after completing the “For Whom the Bell Tolls” quest. This happens during the “Back in the Saddle” quest at Trosky Castle. While Herring’s stats are modest, it’s a reliable mount for early adventures. He is better than Pebbles in stamina and speed and will take you places. You can only keep one horse, so if you have already bought one before, you will have to choose between that one or Herring.
Summary
Owning a horse is an important gameplay mechanic in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Though stealing is a thrilling and fun option it could have consequences. Make sure there is no one around when you’re stealing a horse, or if you want a safer and more legitimate option, just go to a horse trader and buy one. You will have to either steal or buy one horse before you reach the quest where you are given a horse for free as it comes very late in the game. So, this was how to get a horse in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
