Short answer

Start Mice with Innkeeper Prochek in Tachov, get paint from the Troskowitz tailor, brew enough Lullaby potion for the bull, pour it into the trough, wait until night and paint Olbram's bull while avoiding the hired hand.

Questline
Tachov and Zhelejov prank feud

Watch before you commit

  • Do not accept the opposite prank while Mice is active. Community walkthroughs agree that starting Frogs and Mice concurrently can fail one of them.
  • Bring enough potion strength or doses; weak Lullaby may require more brewing.
  • The bull step is a stealth step, so save before entering the barn area.

Practical route

  1. 1 Speak with Prochek in Tachov after the feud chain is available.
  2. 2 Do not warn Zhelejov if you want Mice to stay active.
  3. 3 Ask Radovan about calming animals if you need the Lullaby recipe context.
  4. 4 Get paint from the Troskowitz tailor through payment or speech.
  5. 5 Gather Herb Paris, Poppy and Thistle, then brew enough Lullaby potion.
  6. 6 Pour the potion into the bull trough, wait for night, distract the watcher and paint the bull.

Mice Is the Potion Side of the Feud

Mice is the Tachov answer to Frogs. Prochek wants Olbram's bull painted, and the hard part is not the paint; it is preparing a calming potion and reaching the animal without turning a joke into a crime spiral.

Players usually search this quest because they are missing one material or because they accidentally started the wrong side of the feud. This page keeps both problems together.

Supplies: Paint and Lullaby

The paint comes from the Troskowitz tailor. You can pay or talk your way through it, so high speech can save Groschen. The animal-calming part points you toward Lullaby potion.

For Lullaby, plan around Herb Paris, Poppy and Thistle. The alchemy workbench now includes this recipe because Mice creates a real player need: checking whether you have enough herbs before riding across the region.

Bull Trough and Night Entry

Pour the potion into the bull's trough first, then wait until the animal sleeps. At night, approach carefully. If a hired hand blocks the barn, use a thrown stone to pull attention away instead of forcing a confrontation.

Once the route is clear, enter quickly, paint the bull and leave. Do not loot random containers around the barn; the joke objective is already risky enough.

Mice and Frogs: protect the active quest

The safe rule is not to promise a universal Frogs-then-Mice order. Finish the prank you have already accepted before taking the other village's quest, because community walkthroughs report that accepting both at once can fail one side automatically.

Before speaking to the rival village, make a separate save and read the journal objective. That is safer than following an old completion-order list after the quest state has already changed.

FAQ

What potion do I need for the bull?

Use Lullaby potion. Plan around Herb Paris, Poppy and Thistle, and brew enough strength or doses.

Can Mice lock out Frogs?

Yes. Do not take Frogs while Mice is active, or take Mice while Frogs is active. Finish the accepted prank first, then check the journal before moving into the feud resolution.
