Storm quest through Apolonia is a nightmare

[Kaktus]

This quest part when you need to sneak through hundreds of npc’s is so hard on normal that I will proly quit playing.I tried everything bit it’s so hard.

Lol what? Are you wearing armor? There are bushes everywhere which cause you to be almost completely hidden, and they have walking paths they follow... Just wait, and if someone is in your way throw rocks... you have an unlimited amount. It's quite easy.

There are difficulty options?

So long as you're low noise (ideally just naked, you shouldn't be fighting) you can get very close to the patrols without them noticing you. On top of that, I found it was best to go up hills as much as possible. Doing so gives you a better view of the enemy positions and usually also avoids the majority of them. I was able to complete the mission on my first try. Just go slowly and don't be afraid to get closer than you're normally comfortable with.

took me 30 minutes tops overencumbered

yes I am in full armor.Can I drop everything on ground and later come to pick it up?

Bro I slaughtered every single person during that mission. I got so much exp. It was easy. No clue how people can think it's hard unless you're super underleveled, and have terrible equipment.

Just wear something with low visibility and low noise, then sneak past people and try to stay a little off the paths the NPCs walk on.

I agree this quest nearly made me rage quit, it was so dumb more men then likely exist in the entire county magically appear to search the woods for you... When their were like 2-3 guys left alive in the castle itself.... And none of them would let you stealth kill them they all seemed to be magically too strong to be stealth killed....

You're doing something wrong. You need higher strength and skills that help give you a better chance.

I am click on the two blue swords but the guys I am attacking have high strength and end up with me having to block their counter attack..... this happened on nearly everyone on this map and yet in different parts of the story I have had no issue with sticking a dagger into the guards.... For instance it never happened at all when saving han's from Malashev...

Not to mention being over weight beyond belief and having to slowly walk across a map that had a stupid amount of enemy's that made zero sense to how they even existed in game....

They probably have different stats depending on who it is. You're likely underleveled in strength. I grinded stats for hours and I don't have any problems now. I would definitely find pebbles first at semine, and also sell or drop off your stuff in your chests.
