Strategy
It is highly recommended to save the Crucifixes and Holy Waters for tough locations such as Towns, the Castle, Fort Constitution, or the Outlaw's Town.
While you don't have to worry about lightning strikes during Stormy Nights, your visibility is still greatly reduced, so being careful is still recommended.
Additionally, if you get struck by Lightning while riding a Horse, the Horse will still die.
If you have a Mining Helmet or another light source, Stormy Nights become considerably safer as in addition to your Lightning immunity, you'll also be able to see better. Since Stormy Nights do not spawn enemies, players can use this time to explore safely.
