Stealth is a crucial method for completing tasks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and for the quest "Storm," it's not just an option—it's a necessity. If you're looking to navigate through "Storm" successfully, you'll need to embrace your inner sneak.

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

"Storm" marks the transition from the Trosky Region to the Kuttenberg Region, wrapping up key storylines much like "For Whom the Bell Tolls." You'll start this quest under dire circumstances: stripped of your armor, weapons, and even Saviour Schnapps, and weakened from torture, which affects both your health and stamina.

Your first step is to scavenge gear from the guards that Katherine dispatched during your prison break. While the gear isn't top-notch, it's a step up from nothing. Katherine also provides you with her dagger, enabling 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 slip past them unnoticed.

At the summit, you'll confront Istvan Toth. This encounter doesn't affect the quest's best ending, so if you're not confident in your combat skills, consider the less honorable approach. Engaging Toth in a duel could lead to an early demise due to your compromised health. After dealing with him, search the room to reclaim your belongings and gather crucial documents.

With Toth out of the way and your gear recovered, 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 manageable.

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

The real challenge begins as you navigate the hills in "Storm." Keeping your conspicuousness low is essential to avoid detection by the guards, who will quickly summon reinforcements if they spot you. Your weakened state from torture makes stealth kills and knockouts more difficult.

Begin by taking the right path uphill. This leads to a larger, guard-patrolled path, but it's the route to Mika, who's been captured. Sneak up behind the guard, take him out, and free Mika. This not only saves your progress but also provides you with Mika's guidance for the next phase.

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

The final stretch of "Storm" requires prolonged stealth. Follow the markers on your map according to Mika's instructions, heading east and southeast towards the main road in Apollonia. Stick to the edges and use bushes for cover 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 move on to the Kuttenberg Region.

"Storm" stands out as one of the few quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* where stealth is not just beneficial but essential. Prioritizing stealth skills and perks before this quest can significantly ease your journey through its challenges.
