Storm Quest Guide | Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Storm is the twelfth main quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. After the fall of Nebakov in The Finger of God, Henry is back in the dungeons of Trosky Castle. This chapter is about revenge, reclaiming Radzig's sword, and escaping Trosky to open the Kuttenberg arc.

Survive Istvan's interrogation

Henry and Zizka hang in the torture chamber. Istvan Toth asks about Jobst and Liechtenstein. Dialogue choices do not change the plot: if you stay silent long enough, Father Godwin breaks and gives information to save Henry.

To skip torture, tell Istvan what he wants after the first skill check.

If you fail skill checks and endure the full sequence, you gain the Tortured debuff, which lowers Strength and carrying capacity for the rest of the quest.

Sneak through the castle

Katherine rescues the group and points to a secret passage, but you need a key from Toth. You must reach the Crone Tower (West Wing) while the castle is distracted by the storm.

Loot the guard Katherine killed for basic armor and a sword. She also gives a Dagger. You can fight, but stealth along the battlements above the courtyard is recommended.

Leave the prison via stairs in the room with a chest near Bohuta. You enter a room Chamberlain Ulrich often uses. Use the door beside the stairs, go outside, and find two soldiers talking.

Option 1: Wait until they split. One walks toward you. Return to the previous room and hide on the staircase while he enters the kitchen, or kill him from behind.

Go outside again. The second guard may have returned to his post. Throw a rock to distract him, sneak behind, and remove him.

Option 2: Sneak left through the dark to a door, climb the stairs, then turn back to find an entrance to the wooden ramparts.

Cross the battlements. A cutscene shows Toth sending Erik to Kuttenberg after Jan Liechtenstein.

Sneak through Crone Tower

Stay on the ramparts and enter the Crone Tower, preferably through the room shown below.

Take the only door and go up to two drunkards playing dice. Remove metal armor and sneak past quickly; they will not notice.

From the drunkards, climb two large staircases, then turn into the room on the left: the Scribe's room. Search the desk, shelves, and chests and use four different prompts.

There is strong loot here, including the On Heraldry skill book in the next alchemy room if you own the Brushes with Death DLC. You do not find the orders here, but the search advances the objective.

Put your armor back on and prepare for a big fight.

Kill Istvan Toth: decision

Go to the highest room of the Crone Tower. You can talk to Toth about his past with Erik and his motives before you choose how to end him.

Ask extra questions, including about Erik. If you pick Intimidate and fail, he attacks at once and you lose the dishonorable kill option.

Honorable duel: Henry challenges Toth to a 1v1. If you are unarmed, Toth may give you a sword from the wall. The fight is harder with the Tortured debuff. Use the center table for cover and stamina recovery.

Dishonorable kill: Henry stabs Toth and pushes him out the window. This skips the hard duel.

Reward: either way you reclaim Radzig Kobyla's Longsword and unlock the Vengeance achievement.

Reclaim your gear

Go to the top floor into Toth's chambers. In a chest at the foot of the green bed you recover all confiscated gear and the Castle Keys. Still no Sigismund's orders.

With the Tortured debuff, grabbing everything may overencumber you.

Sneak back to Maiden Tower

You must return to the Maiden Tower (East Wing) to find Godwin. Take stairs down to a kitchen. One drunkard sleeps on a table; another is in the kitchen. Strong Saviour Schnapps sits near the exit door outside, which you should use.

Go outside near Blacksmith Osina's forge. Sneak behind the patrolling soldier and take him down.

Return to the kitchen, go one floor up, then exit through a dining room to the battlements. Cross back toward the Maiden Tower.

Do not return to the prison. Use stairs up to Otto von Bergow's chambers and reunite with Godwin.

Search the medium-locked chest for Sigismund's orders.

The escape

Follow Godwin to the dungeons and enter the secret passageway. Stay close so you do not lose him in the rocky sections.

Open the door and follow Bohuta, Zizka, and Katherine through the caves until you emerge in Apollonia. Bohuta and Zizka read the orders and learn Sigismund is massing forces near Kuttenberg.

Sneak through the rocks to save Mika

Guards search with torches. Head for the abandoned camp to the south. Stay on high ground. Move southeast and watch for a guard on the path.

Continue and cross the fallen log. Move up into the rocks until you see two groups of soldiers.

Ignore the upper camp. Sneak down the left slope toward the lower camp, where Mika is held by one guard. Distract with a stone or stealth takedown, then free him.

Sneak to the wagon

From Mika, continue south through the rocks. Stay crouched. Another soldier appears down the path; your dagger works well. Drop off the rocks and go left.

Hug the cliff on your right. Two men patrol the bend; wait until they move uphill, then sneak behind to regain height. Move through bushes to the marker. Henry comments on a broken cart and says you must go higher.

Cross the forest to the next marker. The area can be visited by two guards. Then continue south. Stay off the main path, track torch lights, and keep elevation on the right side of the route.

Run to the south of Apollonia. The further south you go, the fewer guards patrol. At the final search area, a cutscene plays.

The group loads the wagon toward Kuttenberg. Trosky ends here and you unlock New Horizons.
