In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, stealth is a key strategy for completing various tasks, and it's essential for successfully navigating the "Storm" quest. This mission marks a pivotal transition from the Trosky Region to the Kuttenberg Region, wrapping up the main quests in the former area. Like "For Whom the Bell Tolls," you start "Storm" at a disadvantage, without your armor, weapons, or Saviour Schnapps, and with reduced health and stamina from torture.
How To Start ‘Storm’ in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Begin by scavenging gear from the guards Katherine dispatched during your prison break. While the equipment isn't top-notch, it's crucial for survival. Katherine also provides her dagger, enabling stealth kills. Your next move is to ascend the Crone in Trosky, carefully avoiding or neutralizing the spaced-out guards along the way using stealth or distractions.
