"Guide to Completing Storm in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2"

Stealth is a critical skill in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, especially when tackling the "Storm" quest. This mission is not just another task; it's a pivotal moment where your sneaking abilities are put to the ultimate test. To successfully complete "Storm," you'll need to embrace the shadows and move with precision.

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. Like the quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls," you're entering "Storm" at a disadvantage. You'll be stripped of your armor, weapons, and even Saviour Schnapps, all while suffering from lowered health and stamina due to torture.

Your first step is to scavenge gear from the guards that Katherine neutralized during your prison break. Although their equipment isn't top-notch, it's essential for your survival. Katherine also provides you with her dagger, which is crucial for stealth kills. Your next objective is to reach the top of the Crone in Trosky. The guards you'll encounter are spaced out, allowing you to knock them out or use distractions to slip by unnoticed.

At the summit of the Crone, you'll confront Istvan Toth. This encounter doesn't affect the best ending, so if you're unsure about your combat skills, consider taking the dishonorable route. A duel with Toth, given your compromised health, could be fatal. After dealing with him, search the room for everyone's belongings and collect important documents.

After handling Toth and reclaiming 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 and less demanding.

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

The real challenge begins as you navigate the hills in "Storm." With your conspicuousness needing to be as low as possible, avoiding detection by guards is paramount. Being spotted can lead to multiple enemy encounters, and your lowered stats from torture make stealth kills and knockouts more difficult.

Start by taking the right path uphill. This leads to a more trafficked route, but you'll eventually reach Mika, who has been captured. Sneak up on the guard, neutralize him, and free Mika. This action saves your progress and provides you with Mika's guidance for the next phase.

The final stretch of "Storm" requires prolonged 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, sticking to the edges and using bushes for cover. The area on your map may seem vast, but you only need to reach about halfway 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 isn't just an option—it's a necessity. Prioritizing your stealth skills and perks before this quest can significantly enhance your chances of success.
