Stealth is paramount in many *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* quests, but "Storm" elevates it to a necessity. This quest concludes the main storyline in the Trosky region, ushering you into the Kuttenberg region for the first time. Like "For Whom the Bell Tolls," the odds are stacked against you; you'll start with depleted health, stamina, and no access to your usual armor, weapons, or helpful items like 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 objective: reach the top of the Crone in Trosky. While guards patrol the route, they're spaced sufficiently to allow for stealth takedowns or skillful distraction and evasion.
Atop the Crone, you confront Istvan Toth. The outcome of this encounter doesn't affect the best ending, so consider the dishonorable option if combat feels too risky given your weakened state. Engaging Toth directly is perilous with your low health. After dealing with Toth, thoroughly search the room for everyone's belongings and retrieve crucial documents.

After securing your belongings and Toth's defeat, return to the dungeon where your companions remain. They'll equip themselves and reveal the escape tunnels. Simply follow them—this is the easiest part of the quest.

The truly challenging section of "Storm" begins now: a grueling stealth sequence. Maintain the lowest possible conspicuousness to avoid detection. Guards will alert each other, making multiple enemy encounters likely if spotted. Your weakened stats further complicate stealth kills or knockouts.
Take the uphill path to the right, leading to a larger, heavily patrolled route. This path, however, takes you to Mika's capture point. Stealthily eliminate the guard, free Mika, and receive directions to your next objective. This secures your progress.

A lengthy stealth section follows. Navigate to the map locations guided by Mika's instructions, then proceed to the region's edge. Head east and southeast towards the Apollonia main road, following it south while using bushes for cover. The marked area is larger than it seems; reaching its midpoint triggers the final cutscene, concluding your role in this section and leading you to the Kuttenberg region. Utilize stones to distract guards as needed.
"Storm" uniquely demands stealth, unlike many optional stealth segments in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Prior investment in stealth skills proves invaluable here.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
