Stealth plays a crucial role in completing certain tasks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it's absolutely essential for the "Storm" quest. If you're aiming to successfully navigate through this mission, embracing the art of sneaking is non-negotiable.
How To Start ‘Storm’ in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The "Storm" quest marks a pivotal moment in your journey through the Trosky Region, serving as a bridge to the Kuttenberg Region. As you embark on this quest, remember that the odds are stacked against you. You'll find yourself stripped of your armor, weapons, and essentials like Saviour Schnapps, and your health will be compromised due to recent torture, affecting your stamina as well.

Your first step is to scavenge some gear from the guards that Katherine dealt with during your prison break. While the armor and weapons you find may not be top-tier, they're vital for your survival. Katherine also provides you with her dagger, equipping you for stealth kills. Your next move is to head to the top of the Crone in Trosky. With guards spaced out along the way, you can either knock them out or use distractions to slip by unnoticed.

Upon reaching the top of the Crone, you'll confront Istvan Toth. Since this encounter doesn't affect the quest's ultimate outcome, opting for a less honorable approach might be wise, especially if you're unsure about your combat abilities in your weakened state. After dealing with Toth, search the room to reclaim everyone's belongings and secure important documents.

The next phase of "Storm" is where the challenge truly ramps up. To successfully navigate the hills, you must minimize your conspicuousness to avoid detection by guards. Being spotted can quickly escalate into a confrontation with multiple enemies, made more difficult by your lowered stats due to torture.

Begin by taking the right path and continue uphill. This leads to a larger path frequented by guards. Your goal here is to reach Mika, who has been captured. Sneak up on the guard holding Mika, neutralize him, and then liberate Mika. This not only secures your position but also provides crucial directions for your next objective.

The final leg of "Storm" involves a lengthy stretch of stealth. Follow the markers on your map to adhere to Mika's instructions, then make your way towards the region's edge. Head east and southeast to reach the main road in Apollonia, but keep to the sides and use the bushes for cover to evade the guards. You only need to traverse about halfway through the marked area to trigger the concluding cutscene. Utilize stones to create distractions and slip past the guards. Once the cutscene plays, your part in the Trosky Region ends, and you're set to proceed to the Kuttenberg Region.
"Storm" stands out as one of the quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* where stealth isn't just an option—it's a necessity. Prioritizing the development of your stealth skills before this mission can significantly enhance your chances of staying undetected.
