Guide: Mastering the Storm Quest 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, 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 best ending, so if you're unsure about your combat skills, consider the less honorable approach. 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.

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 lead to a multi-enemy confrontation, which is tougher due to your reduced stats from torture. Start by taking the right path uphill, which leads to a larger, guard-patrolled route. Your goal is to reach Mika, who has been captured. Sneak up behind the guard, take him out, and free Mika to receive further directions.

The final stretch of "Storm" requires 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. 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.
