In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, mastering the art of stealth is crucial for successfully navigating the quest "Storm." This mission is unique in that stealth is not just an option but a necessity for its completion.

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

"Storm" marks the culmination of your journey through the Trosky Region and serves as your gateway to the Kuttenberg Region. Like the quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls," "Storm" throws you into challenging circumstances. You'll find yourself without your armor, weapons, or essential items like Saviour Schnapps, and with your health and stamina depleted due to prior torture.

Begin by scavenging gear from the guards that Katherine dispatched during your escape from prison. Although the armor and weapons you find won't be top-tier, they're essential for your survival. Katherine also provides you with her dagger, enabling stealth kills. Your next step is to ascend the Crone in Trosky, where you can take advantage of the spaced-out guards to either knock them out, distract them, or sneak past them undetected.

At the summit, you'll confront Istvan Toth. Since this encounter doesn't affect the quest's best ending, consider opting for a less honorable approach if you're unsure about your combat skills, especially given your weakened state. After dealing with Toth, search the room to reclaim everyone's belongings and gather crucial documents.

With Toth defeated 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 straightforward and manageable.

How To Sneak Through the Hills in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The most challenging segment of "Storm" involves sneaking through the hills. It's vital to keep your conspicuousness to a minimum to avoid detection by the guards, who will alert others if they spot you. Your reduced stats from torture make stealth kills and knockouts more difficult, adding to the challenge.

Start by taking the right path uphill, which leads to a larger, guard-patrolled route. Your goal is to reach Mika, who has been captured. Sneak up behind the guard, neutralize him, and free Mika. This action saves your progress and provides you with Mika's directions to your next objective.

The final stretch of "Storm" requires a prolonged period of stealth. Follow the locations marked on your map according to Mika's instructions. Head east and southeast to reach the main road in Apollonia, then proceed south while staying hidden in the bushes to evade the guards. 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. Once the cutscene plays, your part in "Storm" concludes, and you'll transition 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.
