Swamp

For the swamp this is my guide to getting past it.

May contain some spoilers if you haven't been there.

Starting off I had full troll armor and some bronze gear I had the 2nd bow, a bronze mace, bronze axe, bronze pickaxe.

Food for me was carrot soup, minced meat sauce, deer stew. I like to have 2 life foods and 1 stamina food.

You will want a supply of boars for both the food before and food made with swamp ingredients

The poison resistance poison is a must for the swamp. If you dont have one its alot harder to survive. Leeches poison, blobs poison and the new monster they added can poison.

You should have the health potion also and look to upgrade to the medium health potion as quick as possible

In the swamp fire arrows are just ok it took alot to kill the tree monster I avoided the tree monsters all together after first kill. Most monsters walk in water and become damp in the swamp.

I used spear and mace mostly for some of the monsters I shot the leeches. In the beginning you can use a bow

In the swamp you will want to gather blood packs from leeches, entails, ancient bark from the trees, turnips from a random land patch (i only found one in my run through) and most of all iron from the crypts.

When you first go into the crypts you should have a bow and bronze arrows preferably with a shield and melee weapon of choice

You need to collect iron to upgrade weapons. You also need some chain from the crypts (theres a ghost at night thats tough that drops a chain too but I wouldn't do this unless I had to)

One of hardest things on some of my runs was looking for sunken crypts. I would find some swamps with out crypts and have to look in others

Once you gear up in the swamp you can run with the wood armor from the trees or iron armor. If you like to use bows tree armor give bonus but its alot of kills 2 per 1 item. It does have resistance to posion but not as much armor as iron. I always use iron but I am sure it would work for the boss

You will want to make a stone cutter using iron and use it to build out stone base. The stone cutter also makes a sharpening stone which can make a sharpening wheel for the forge.

Other upgrades you'll want are for the forge the smiths anvils and tool rack.

You should make the spice rack next to cooking pot to access the swamp foods.

For the boss I use full iron armor (mine is rank 3) I used iron mace, iron round shield (you can use banded shield too).

To find the boss there are markers i call them guidstones in crypts or outside towers

On the boss you want medium health, poison resistance, and minor stamina.

Food turnip stew, black soup, sausages This combo is 146 health, 139 stamina

You need to pop a poison resist before engaging.

You will attack with mace and shield when you run out of stamina run away and drink stamina and heal if you need to and go back.

Boss is weak to the blunt damage, pierce and slice don't hurt as much and I don't believe fire arrows would work well. Boss is immune to poison. Poison arrows will be better used on the mountain.
