Stealth is a crucial strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, particularly for certain quests where it's the most effective approach. If you're aiming to complete the "Storm" quest, mastering the art of sneaking is essential.
How To Start 'Storm' in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
"Storm" marks a pivotal moment in the game, serving as a bridge between the Trosky and Kuttenberg Regions. As you embark on this quest, you'll find yourself in a challenging situation, similar to "For Whom the Bell Tolls." You'll be without your armor, weapons, or essential items like Saviour Schnapps, and your health and stamina will be compromised due to prior torture.

Katherine also provides you with her dagger, enabling you to perform stealth kills. Your next objective is to reach 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.

This encounter doesn't affect the quest's outcome, so consider taking the less honorable route if you're unsure about your combat skills. Engaging Toth in a duel could lead to an early demise given your weakened state. After dealing with him, search the room to reclaim everyone's belongings and gather crucial documents.

Head towards the edge of the region, moving east and southeast to reach the main road in Apollonia. Stay on the outskirts and use the 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 proceed to the Kuttenberg Region.
