I've killed two abominations easily by kiting them like I do trolls and running them into other mobs to give me time to recover stam and pepper them with fire arrows. In a very short period of time I learned to parry with the bronze buckler and draugr are really not much of a threat at all. They are terrifying until you realize they are nearly only as dangerous as the greys from the Black Forest. I was terrified of entering the swamp until I watched a greydork take a good amount of health from a draugr so I decided to at least try to melee one. But then, more protection probably would only had added a couple of seconds to my life expectancy in that situation, I suspect). Should I go with bronze armor? It seems like it would provide more protection, but, of course, it'd also slow me down (wouldn't really have made a difference to the death in the swamp, though. One draugr with an axe could take most of my health off, so I felt extremely squishy in the swamp (unlike in the black forest, where I'd been doing fine). I had level 3 troll armor, chitin dagger, bone tower shield. I've done swamps before, but they never had this many enemies and I certainly never saw abominations (or wraiths, like the one that killed me earlier in the game), so now I'm unsure how to prepare for it. Then I started a new character because that all got too messy and I got set back farther and farther. Then I ran back, but the raid was still going on (I kind of thought it would have ended when I died, but they clearly don't). There was no way I could get my stuff back from that place until I'd made new armor, so I started mining for copper and tin and promptly got a "foul smell from the swamp" raid. I could probably have defended that and then maybe slowly made my way into the swamp proper). (In hindsight, I could have spent 40 hours making a narrow dirt bridge across the canal. I couldn't turn and reversing would have taken far too long, so I got off the boat and was immediately swarmed by draugr and skeletons and the abomination.īacked away using my tower shield, but there was nowhere to go, so I ended up in the water where I got eaten by leeches. Instead I took my karve and went toward a small canal sort of thing that seem good for a boat, and a second before I hit land, an abomination came out of the ground. The canal was deep so I'd have had to swim and it was full of leeches. On day 137 I thought I was ready to enter a swamp, but the only one I could find was sort of an island, with a wide canal between it and the black forest.
