How to remove the Tortured debuff in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

During the main story quest Storm in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, events take place that result in your character having a pretty nasty debuff called Tortured. Here's how to remove the Tortured debuff and finally no longer be over encumbered. Screenshot by Destructoid How to remove the Tortured debuff The only way to remove the Tortured debuff is to continue through the Storm main story quest and completely escape Trosky Castle. Unfortunately, you need to rest in order to treat the Tortured debuff, but you cannot rest until you've completely escaped. Bandages and other aid items will not fix it, either. Until you're able to rest and deal with the Tortured debuff, you'll have to deal with the negative effects of the debuff by fixing your encumbrance and potentially using consumables that buff your stats. It can be quite a pain navigating through the various Castle Trosky patrols both inside the castle and south of the castle at Apollonia while you have those Tortured debuff. What does the Tortured debuff do? The Tortured debuff essentially lowers all of Henry's stats in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The problem is, this often creates somewhat of a spiraling effect. Your Strength is lowered which lowers your carrying capacity, so then you're over encumbered, and it sort of snowballs out of control. You get the Tortured debuff when being tortured during the Storm quest, but you can also mitigate and prevent it based on your answers. If you willingly give up your friends, you will not be Tortured and therefore will not receive the debuff. However, if you try to lie and fail the skill check, it will result in you being Tortured. From a narrative standpoint, I certainly understand wanting to lie. But if your skills aren't high enough to succeed in the checks, you may just want to tell the truth, otherwise it will make the future parts of the quest when escaping Trosky Castle much more difficult.
