"Guide: Completing Storm in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2"

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, stealth is a crucial strategy for completing certain quests, and "Storm" is one such mission where sneaking is not just an option but a necessity. This quest marks the transition from the Trosky Region to the Kuttenberg Region, wrapping up the main storylines in Trosky. You'll find yourself in a challenging situation, stripped of your armor, weapons, and even Saviour Schnapps, with your health and stamina compromised due to prior torture.

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

To kick off "Storm," you'll first need to gather some gear from the guards that Katherine dealt with during your prison break. While the equipment isn't top-notch, it's better than nothing. Katherine also provides you with her dagger, which is essential for stealth kills. Your next move is to head 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 if you're not confident in your combat skills, consider taking the dishonorable route. Engaging Toth in a duel could be risky given your weakened state. After dealing with him, search the room to reclaim everyone's belongings and collect crucial documents.

The next phase of "Storm" is where the real challenge begins. You need to keep your conspicuousness to a minimum to avoid detection by the guards, who will alert others if they spot you. Your lowered stats from the torture make stealth kills and knockouts more difficult.

Start by taking the right path uphill, which leads to a larger path patrolled by guards. Your goal is to reach Mika, who has been captured. Sneak up behind the guard, take him out, and free Mika. This not only saves your position but also provides you with Mika's directions to your next objective.

The final stretch of "Storm" involves a long period of 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 while staying hidden in the bushes to avoid 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" is complete, and you'll move on to the Kuttenberg Region.

"Storm" is a prime example of a quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* where stealth is not just beneficial but essential. Prioritizing stealth skills and perks before this mission can significantly ease your journey through the quest.
