Guides/Mob Killing Guide

So this is a guide to pretty much kill any thing in the game of Don't Starve

The main tactic in this game is to run away bit, then run back, and strike, then repeat.

-spiders

-hell hounds

-werepigs

-tree gaurd

-bees

While this does work for many hostile mobs, some are more difficult and require a more advanced approach.

Like the Tailbird, the run and strike method does work, but you have to do it fast. Unless you have a logsuit and a spear with Wolfgang equiped you're better off just avoiding this monster, and since it does not drop anything of value, you're better off just killing spiders for monster meat.

The next tough monster is the Swamp Monster. This monster just pops up out of the ground in swamps and pretty much kills with its badass looks, and slaps anything that gives him a what for. The best tactic for this guy is either a pig army or a group of frenemies spiders. To get the pig army, go to a pig vallage, the larger the better, and recruit alot of Mr. Piggingtons, more than 5 is a garunteed number to kill at least one tentacle. Then, go to the swamp and find a tentacle, attack it then retreat so that you don't get hit but your pig minions will agro on the tentacle. That should be enough to kill the tentacle. Note you cannot ever get rid of the swamp monster, the tentacles do respawn. After the battle, there is either a dead tentacle or a lot of dead pigs, either way you benefit pretty well. If your pigs died, collect their meat and skin. If the tentacle died, piss on its grave and t-bag it, then chop of one of his tentacles and collect the highest hitting weapon in the game and some stylinsh material for a spiffy hat.

The second tactic is the spider gang. If your lucky you might get a spider nest beside a swamp, and if you're not so lucky kill a level 3 spider nest, collect its eggs, and then plant them on the edge of a swamp biome. Hit the nest 2 times to angry 8 spiders, then run into the swamp hopefully angrying a tentacle and then kite the spiders around the tentacel, hopefully the tentacle will accidentally slap a spider, making its friends agro on the new found enemy. Now just stand back and eat some popcorn (vital procedure). Once again whoever dies you benefit nicely. If your spiders die, collect their meat and cook it and research it or cook it in a crock pot. If the tentacle died, just follow the standard tentacle-looting-procedure.
