Stealth is a key strategy for completing certain quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and "Storm" is one such quest where sneaking is not just an option but a necessity. To successfully navigate through this mission, you'll need to rely heavily on stealth tactics.
How To Start 'Storm' in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
"Storm" is a pivotal quest that transitions you from the Trosky Region to the Kuttenberg Region. As you begin, you're at a disadvantage, having been stripped of your armor, weapons, and essential items like Saviour Schnapps. Moreover, your health is compromised due to prior torture, which also affects your stamina.

Your initial step involves scavenging gear from guards that Katherine dealt with during your prison breakout. Although the gear isn't top-notch, it's a crucial upgrade from nothing. Katherine also hands you her dagger, enabling you to execute stealth kills. Your journey then leads you to the top of the Crone in Trosky. The guards are spaced out enough to allow you to either knock them out or sneak past them using distractions.

At the peak, you'll confront Istvan Toth. Since this encounter doesn't affect the best ending, you might opt for a less honorable approach if you're unsure about your combat skills, especially considering your weakened state. After dealing with Toth, search the area for everyone's belongings and important documents.

With Toth dealt with and your gear recovered, head back to the dungeon to reunite with your companions. They'll equip their items and guide you through the escape tunnels, making this part of the quest relatively straightforward.

The most challenging segment of "Storm" involves navigating the hills stealthily. With your conspicuousness at a minimum, avoid detection by guards who can quickly alert others. The torture you endured further complicates matters by lowering your stats, making it harder to take down or stealth kill guards.

Begin by taking the right path uphill, which leads to a more trafficked route. Here, you'll encounter patrolling guards, but this path is necessary to reach Mika, who has been captured. Sneak up on the guard, neutralize him, and free Mika to secure your position and receive further directions.

The final stretch requires prolonged stealth. Follow the map markers provided by Mika, heading east and southeast towards the main road in Apollonia. Stick to the edges and use bushes for cover to evade guards. Although the marked area on your map seems vast, you only need to reach about halfway to trigger the concluding cutscene. Use stones to distract guards and slip past them. Once the cutscene plays, your part in "Storm" ends, and you'll proceed to the Kuttenberg Region.
"Storm" stands out as one of the few quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* where stealth is mandatory. Prioritizing stealth skill development before this quest can significantly enhance your chances of success by helping you remain undetected.
