Guide: Conquering the Storm in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Stealth is an essential strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, especially for completing certain quests like "Storm." This quest is particularly demanding in terms of stealth, as it is the only viable approach to successfully navigating its challenges.

How to Start 'Storm' in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

"Storm" marks the culmination of the main quests in the Trosky Region and serves as your introduction to the Kuttenberg Region. Much like "For Whom the Bell Tolls," you'll find yourself at a disadvantage from the start. You'll be without your armor, weapons, or essentials like Saviour Schnapps, and your health will be compromised due to prior torture, which also affects your stamina.

Begin by scavenging gear from the guards that Katherine neutralized during your prison break. While the equipment isn't top-notch, it's better than nothing. Katherine also provides you with her dagger, enabling you to perform stealth kills. Your next move is to ascend the Crone in Trosky. The guards 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 consider taking the less honorable route if you're unsure about your combat skills. Engaging Toth in a duel could lead to an easy defeat given your weakened state. After dealing with him, search the room to reclaim everyone's belongings and gather crucial documents.

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

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

The most challenging segment of "Storm" involves navigating the hills while keeping your conspicuousness to a minimum. Being spotted by guards 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. This leads to a larger path patrolled by guards, but it's the route to 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.

How to Finish 'Storm' in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The final stretch requires sustained stealth. Follow the locations marked on your map according to Mika's instructions. Head towards the edge of the region, moving east and southeast to reach the main road in Apollonia. Stay on the outskirts and use the bushes for cover to avoid detection by 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 proceed to the Kuttenberg Region.

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