Stealth is a key method for completing tasks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it's essential for the "Storm" quest. If you're aiming to successfully navigate "Storm," mastering stealth is crucial.
How To Start ‘Storm’ in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
"Storm" marks the conclusion of main quests in the Trosky Region and introduces you to the Kuttenberg Region. Much like "For Whom the Bell Tolls," you'll start this quest under challenging circumstances. You'll be without your armor, weapons, or Saviour Schnapps, and your health will be compromised due to torture, which also affects your stamina.

Katherine also provides you with a dagger, enabling stealth kills. Your next step is to reach the top of the Crone in Trosky. The guards are spaced out, allowing you to either knock them out or use distractions to sneak past them.

This encounter won't affect the quest's best ending, so consider opting for a less honorable approach if you're unsure about your combat skills. Engaging Toth in a duel can be risky due to your weakened state. After dealing with him, search the room to recover everyone's belongings and collect crucial documents.

After handling Toth and reclaiming your gear, head back to the dungeon to regroup with the others. They'll equip their items and guide you through the tunnels for an escape. This part of the quest is straightforward, making it the least challenging section.

The "Storm" quest becomes truly challenging when you need to navigate the hills. Keeping your conspicuousness low is vital to avoid detection by guards, who will alert each other if they spot you. The difficulty is compounded by your reduced stats from torture, making stealth kills and knockouts more challenging.

Stealthily approach the guard from behind, take him down, and free Mika. This action saves your progress, and Mika provides directions for your next objective.

Travel east and southeast to reach the main road in Apollonia, then proceed south, staying hidden in the bushes to evade the guards. Though the marked area seems vast, you only need to traverse about half of it to trigger the concluding cutscene. Use stones to distract guards if necessary, allowing you to slip past them unnoticed. Once the cutscene plays, your part in Trosky ends, and you'll transition to the Kuttenberg Region.
"Storm" stands out as one of the few quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 where stealth isn't just an option but a necessity. Prioritizing stealth skill development before this quest can significantly aid in avoiding detection.
