Stealth plays a pivotal role in completing certain quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and "Storm" is one such quest where sneaking is not just a strategy, but a necessity. To successfully navigate through "Storm," you'll need to harness your stealth skills to the fullest.

How To Start ‘Storm’ in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

"Storm" marks a significant transition from the Trosky Region to the Kuttenberg Region, wrapping up key narrative threads. Similar to "For Whom the Bell Tolls," you're thrust into this quest under challenging circumstances. Without your usual armor, weapons, or items like Saviour Schnapps, and with your health and stamina reduced from torture, you're at a clear disadvantage.

Begin by scavenging gear from the guards that Katherine dispatched during your prison escape. While the gear isn't top-notch, it's essential for survival. Katherine's dagger, in particular, equips you for stealth kills. Your journey continues to the top of the Crone in Trosky, where you'll encounter guards. Use distractions and stealth to bypass them without raising an alarm.

At the summit, you'll confront Istvan Toth. Since this encounter doesn't affect the quest's optimal ending, opting for a dishonorable approach might be wise if you're not confident in direct combat. Given your weakened state, engaging Toth in a duel is risky. Once Toth is dealt with, search the room thoroughly for your belongings and crucial documents.

After handling Toth and retrieving your gear, head back to the dungeon to rejoin your companions. They'll equip their gear and guide you through the escape tunnels, making this part of the quest relatively straightforward.

The next phase of "Storm" is where stealth becomes truly challenging. With your conspicuousness needing to be as low as possible, avoiding detection by guards is crucial. Being spotted can quickly escalate into a multi-enemy confrontation, and your reduced stats from torture make stealth kills and knockouts more difficult.

Take the right path and follow it uphill to a larger, guard-patrolled route. This path leads to Mika, who's been captured. Sneak up on the guard, neutralize him, and free Mika. This action saves your progress and provides you with Mika's guidance for the next steps.

How To Finish ‘Storm’ in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The final stretch of "Storm" requires sustained stealth. Follow the map markers to adhere to Mika's instructions, then head towards the region's edge. Travel east and southeast to reach the main road in Apollonia, sticking to the sides and using bushes for cover. You only need to navigate about halfway through the marked area to trigger the ending cutscene. Use stones to distract guards and slip past them unnoticed. Once the cutscene plays, your part in "Storm" concludes, and you'll proceed to the Kuttenberg Region.

"Storm" stands out as a quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* where stealth is not just an option but a requirement. Prioritizing stealth skill development before this quest can significantly enhance your chances of success.
