After a surprise attack by bandits, Henry and his fellow soldiers find themselves in Troskowitz, destitute and wearing rags. Players are prompted to traverse this expansive open world, scouring forests and abandoned camps for weapons, armor, and other valuables. This initial segment of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 presents a challenging survival experience, compelling players to scavenge for resources in order to regain their footing.
As they explore the Trosky Region, players can engage in an array of side quests, particularly the Mice quest located in Tachov. This quest is critical as completing it unlocks a follow-up quest that offers the “Truce“Trophy/Achievement. Below, you’ll find a detailed walkthrough to successfully complete this quest.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – Mice Quest Walkthrough
How To Start The Mice Quest
Your journey begins in Tachov. Visit the local Tavern where you’ll encounter Innkeeper Prochek. He will share the tale of his ongoing conflict with the Zhelejovites, who have been haunting the people of Tachov with pranks for years. Prochek seeks revenge and requests your help to paint a notorious white bull owned by Olbram, a landowner in Zhelejov. Since painting the bull while it’s awake presents a considerable challenge, you must concoct a sleeping potion to ensure it’s unconscious during the prank. He also warns you to be discreet during your infiltration of Zhelejov.
Remember, revealing the prank to any Zhelejov residents will jeopardize the quest.
First, approach Blacksmith Radovan and inquire about tools to calm an animal. If you have previously completed his quest titled “The Blacksmith’s Son“, Radovan will provide you with the Recipe for Lullaby Potion.
Acquiring Paint For The Bull
To procure Bull Paint, visit Tailor Bartoshek in Troskowitz and request to purchase some. He will confirm that he has some available for 60 Groschen. If you have adequate funds, simply complete the purchase to expedite the quest.
Alternatively, you can attempt a Speech check to negotiate a better price by convincing him that it’s too costly. This check is relatively straightforward; if successful, engage him further regarding the paint, eventually persuading him to give it to you for free. Note that the tailor also provides clothing and repair services for your garments in exchange for Groschen.
With the paint acquired, make your way to Apothecary Emmerich to prepare the sleeping potion.

Crafting The Bull’s Sleeping Potion
Located at the center of Troskowitz, Apothecary Emmerich can assist you in crafting the Lullaby Potion. To create this potion, gather Herb Paris, Thistle, and Poppy—all of which are readily available nearby. Herb Paris can be purchased from Emmerich, while Thistle and Poppy can be collected from his garden.
Once you’ve collected all necessary ingredients, proceed to the Alchemy Bench to follow these steps for crafting the Lullaby Potion:
- Add all ingredients beside the cauldron for easy reach.
- Introduce Oil to the cauldron, followed by the Poppy.
- Boil for the duration of one hourglass, then raise the cauldron.
- Add the Thistle and continue boiling for one hourglass duration.
- Grind the Herb Paris using a Pestle.
- Finally, include the Herb Paris in the cauldron.
- Pour the completed potion into a Phial.
Due to the bull’s size, you’ll require three Lullaby Potions for it to fall asleep. Should your potion turn out to be a Weak Lullaby Potion, don’t hesitate to gather more ingredients to strengthen your concoction.
Painting The Bull In Mice Quest
Once you have both the paint and potion ready, fast travel to Zhelejov. Inside the barn, interact with the water trough to pour the sleeping potion, allowing the bull to drink it. Wait for nighttime when the bull is asleep, then stealthily enter the barn. Be cautious of a Hired Hand outside; you can use a rock to distract him before making your entrance.
Inside, interact with the bull and select from several painting options; your choice won’t impact the outcome of the quest. After your artistic endeavor, return to Tachov and inform Prochek of your success. He will reward you with 85 Groschen and introduce you to the next side quest titled “Battle of the Frogs and Mice.”
