Guide: Conquering the Storm in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Stealth plays a crucial role in completing certain quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and "Storm" is one such quest where it's not just an option but a necessity. To successfully navigate through "Storm," you'll need to employ your sneakiness to the fullest.

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, marking a significant point in the game's storyline. Similar to "For Whom the Bell Tolls," you'll find yourself at a disadvantage right from the start. You're without your usual armor, weapons, and even Saviour Schnapps, and your health and stamina are diminished due to prior torture.

Your first step is to scavenge gear from the guards that Katherine neutralized during your prison break. While the gear isn't top-notch, it's better than going bare. Katherine also provides you with her dagger, enabling stealth kills. Your journey then leads you to the top of the Crone in Trosky. The guards along the way are spaced out enough that you can either knock them out or use distractions to sneak past them.

At the summit, you'll confront Istvan Toth. This encounter doesn't affect the quest's outcome, so if combat isn't your strong suit, especially with your current weakened state, you might opt for a less honorable approach. After dealing with Toth, scour the room for everyone's belongings and critical documents.

With Toth dealt with and your gear reclaimed, head back to the dungeon to meet up with your companions. They'll also gear up and guide you through the escape tunnels, making this part of the quest relatively straightforward.

Begin by taking the right path uphill. This will lead you to a larger path patrolled by guards. Stealthily approach the guard near Mika, who has been captured, take him out, and then free Mika. This not only secures your position but also provides you with Mika's guidance for your next steps.

The final stretch of "Storm" requires a prolonged stealth effort. Follow the markers on your map as per Mika's instructions, heading towards the edge of the region. Navigate east and southeast to reach the main road in Apollonia, then proceed south while staying hidden in the bushes. Although the area on the map appears vast, you only need to reach about halfway to trigger the concluding cutscene. Utilize stones to distract guards and slip by unnoticed. Once the cutscene plays, your part in "Storm" ends, setting the stage for your journey to the Kuttenberg Region.

"Storm" stands out as a quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* where stealth is not merely an option but a requirement. Prioritizing your stealth skills and perks before embarking on this quest can significantly ease your journey.
