Stealth is paramount in many *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* quests, but few demand it as absolutely as "Storm." This quest concludes the main storyline in the Trosky region, transporting you to Kuttenberg for the first time. Similar to "For Whom the Bell Tolls," you'll face challenging circumstances. You begin unarmed, lacking armor, weapons, and even essential items like Saviour Schnapps, and your health and stamina are severely depleted from your recent torture.

Initially, scavenge some basic gear from the guards Katherine dispatched while freeing you. It's minimal, but better than nothing. Katherine also provides her dagger, enabling stealth kills. Your first objective: the top of the Crone in Trosky. While guards patrol the route, they're sufficiently spaced 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 best ending, so feel free to choose the dishonorable option if combat feels too risky. Given your weakened state, a duel is highly perilous. After defeating Toth, thoroughly search the room for everyone's belongings and essential documents.

Once Toth is dealt with and your possessions recovered, return to the dungeon where your companions remain. They'll re-equip and reveal the escape tunnels. Simply follow them—this is the easiest part of the quest.

The truly challenging section of "Storm" begins now. Maintaining extremely low conspicuousness is vital to avoid detection. Guards will alert each other, making a single sighting a potentially deadly encounter. Your weakened stats exacerbate the difficulty of stealth kills or knockouts.
Take the right-hand path, following it uphill. This leads to a larger, heavily patrolled path, but it also takes you to Mika's location. Stealthily eliminate the guard and free Mika. This secures your position and provides crucial directions.

A long stretch of stealth awaits. Follow Mika's instructions, visiting the marked locations on your map. Proceed to the region's edge, heading east and southeast towards the main road in Apollonia. Follow the road south, keeping to the sides and using bushes for cover. The marked area is larger than it seems; reach the halfway point to trigger the ending cutscene. Use stones to distract guards as needed. The cutscene concludes your role in this area, leading you to the Kuttenberg region.
"Storm" uniquely demands stealth, unlike many other quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Prioritizing stealth skills beforehand is highly recommended, as relevant perks significantly aid evasion.
