How To Start 'Storm' in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

"Storm" serves as a pivotal quest that transitions you from the Trosky Region to the Kuttenberg Region, marking the conclusion of major storylines in the former. You'll find yourself in a challenging situation, akin to the quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls," where you start without your armor, weapons, or essential items like Saviour Schnapps, and with reduced health due to prior torture, which also impacts your stamina.

To begin, equip yourself with gear from the guards that Katherine neutralized during your escape from prison. Although the armor and weapons aren't top-tier, they're a significant upgrade from nothing. Katherine also provides you with her dagger, enabling stealth kills. Your next move is to ascend to the top of the Crone in Trosky. With guards spaced out along the way, you should have ample opportunities to either knock them out or use distractions to sneak past them.

At the summit, you'll confront Istvan Toth. This encounter doesn't affect the quest's optimal outcome, so consider opting for a less honorable approach if direct combat seems daunting, especially given your compromised health. After dealing with Toth, thoroughly search the room for everyone's belongings and gather crucial documents.
