Mastering stealth is crucial for tackling many tasks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, but some quests, like "Storm," practically demand it. This quest concludes the main storyline in the Trosky region and introduces the Kuttenberg region for the first time. You'll find yourself at a significant disadvantage, starting with limited health and stamina from recent torture, and lacking your usual armor, weapons, and even Saviour Schnapps.

Fortunately, you can recover some basic gear from the guards Katherine dispatched while freeing you. It's not top-tier equipment, but it's better than nothing. Katherine also provides her dagger, enabling stealth kills. Your first objective is the top of the Crone in Trosky. While guards patrol the route, they're spaced sufficiently to allow for stealth takedowns or clever distractions and evasion.
Atop the Crone, you confront Istvan Toth. The outcome of this encounter doesn't affect the quest's ultimate conclusion, so if combat isn't your strong suit, consider the less honorable approach. Due to your weakened state, a direct duel with Toth is risky. After dealing with Toth, thoroughly search the room for everyone's belongings and secure important documents.

Once Toth is dealt with and you've recovered your possessions, return to the dungeon where your companions remain. They'll equip their belongings and reveal the escape route through the tunnels. Simply follow them—this part of the quest is remarkably straightforward.

The truly challenging part of "Storm" begins now: a grueling stealth section requiring the utmost discretion. Being spotted triggers alarms, bringing multiple guards to your location. Your weakened stats further complicate matters, making stealth kills or knockouts more difficult.
Begin by taking the uphill path to the right. This leads to a larger, more heavily guarded path, but it also takes you to Mika's location. Neutralize the guard silently, free Mika, and receive further instructions.

A lengthy stealth sequence follows. Use the map markers to follow Mika's directions, heading east and southeast towards the Apollonia main road. Stick to the edges, utilizing bushes for cover to avoid patrolling guards. You only need to proceed roughly halfway through the marked area to trigger the final cutscene, which concludes your role in this section and transports you to the Kuttenberg region. Remember to use stones to create distractions as needed.
"Storm" stands out as one of the few *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* quests where stealth isn't optional, but a necessity. Prioritizing stealth skill upgrades before embarking on this quest is highly recommended.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
