In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, stealth plays a crucial role, especially in quests like "Storm," where it's not just a choice but a necessity. This quest marks the transition from the Trosky Region to the Kuttenberg Region and is pivotal in wrapping up the main storyline in Trosky. Starting "Storm" can be challenging as you'll be without your usual armor, weapons, or Saviour Schnapps, and your health and stamina will be compromised due to recent torture.
How To Start 'Storm' in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To kick off "Storm," you'll first need to scavenge for gear from the guards that Katherine dispatched during your prison break. Although the armor and weapons aren't top-notch, they're essential for your survival. Katherine also provides you with a dagger, enabling stealth kills. Your initial objective is to ascend the Crone in Trosky, navigating past the guards who are spaced out enough to allow for distractions or knockouts as you sneak by.

At the summit, you'll confront Istvan Toth. While this encounter doesn't affect the quest's ultimate outcome, choosing a dishonorable approach might be wise if you're not confident in your combat abilities, given your weakened state. After dealing with Toth, search the area to retrieve everyone's belongings and gather crucial documents.

How To Sneak Through the Hills in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The hills present the most challenging section of "Storm." To evade detection, keep your conspicuousness low. Being spotted by a guard can quickly escalate into a confrontation with multiple enemies, made more difficult by your reduced stats from the torture. Start by taking the right path uphill, leading to a larger, guard-patrolled path. Your goal is to reach Mika, who has been captured.

The final stretch of "Storm" requires prolonged stealth. Follow the locations marked on your map according to Mika's instructions. Head east and southeast towards the main road in Apollonia, sticking to the side and using bushes for cover. You only need to reach about halfway through the marked area to trigger the ending cutscene. Use stones to distract guards and slip past them unnoticed.
