Guide: Completing the Storm Quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Stealth is a crucial method for completing tasks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it's especially vital for the quest "Storm." This quest is designed in a way that makes stealth not just an option, but a necessity for success.

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

"Storm" marks the culmination of the main quests in the Trosky Region and introduces you to the Kuttenberg Region. Similar to "For Whom the Bell Tolls," you'll find yourself in a challenging situation at the start of this quest. You'll be without your armor, weapons, or essential items like Saviour Schnapps, and your health and stamina will be compromised due to prior torture.

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

How To Escape Trosky in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Once you've handled Toth and retrieved your gear, head back to the dungeon where your companions await. They'll equip their items 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 next phase of "Storm" is particularly challenging. You need to keep your conspicuousness as low as possible to avoid detection by guards, who will alert others if they spot you. Your lowered stats from torture make stealth kills and knockouts more difficult.

Start by taking 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, take him out, and free Mika. This action saves your progress and provides you with Mika's directions for the next objective.

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

The final stretch requires prolonged 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, then proceed south while staying hidden in the bushes. 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" is one of the few quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* where stealth is not just an option but a requirement. It's beneficial to have leveled up your stealth skills beforehand, as the perks can significantly aid in avoiding detection.
