if you are in the range of it when it starts its attack, it gets a guaranteed off on you. It is extremely hard for me to kite them because they and pigs walk so far away if you walk too far between attack cycles. Also, turn lag compensation off settings, so you see where your character is, instead of where it WOULD be with zero lag. Good luck and don't feel too bad if you, like me, cannot kite them lmao.

tip: varg (only works if you’re near beefalos) hit him once when the hounds spawn, when they spawn, quickly into the beefalos as the hounds will attack them even if you’re what they’re after, the beefalos will group up on the hounds, and whenever hounds get hit, other hounds come to help, hit the varg 2 times then run away, and repeat, keep in mind the hounds might get attracted to you since you’re hitting the varg, then quickly go back to the beefalos and repeat.

You can get 6 hits in just keep hitting it it will die then you will see this crampus thing just stand still till it hits you a few times lit it kill you but dont worry you will spawn back even in survival after it kills you it should give you a dark sword that does 111.2 damage and 100 sanity and that is how you kill glommer. Oh and also eat the glommer goop that it will leave after 10 or so minutes to not get killed by glommer you can leave it in a 1 by 1 cage and NEVER use the glommer goop on plant it will turn the plant into gunpowder and will blow up your base. That's all I know how to kill glommer hope this helps.

Pengulls can be killed off easily without taking damage by taking advantage of them running away when the player gets close. Push a single pengull out of the group's aggro range and then stunlock it. Rinse and repeat until the group is dead.

They can be wiped out easily on the night (Or when they are asleep), as with a powerful enough weapon you can just strike them down without they having a chance to fight back, and as the rest of the group is asleep they will not fight back

for a more optimal method of kiting deerclops get 4 (or five with a walking cane) hits in and move diagonally. because his attack is in the shape of a trapezoid, you dont need to move far out but rather to the side. hope this helps!

[@erhixon773]

Shadow Pieces can be kitable but only in lower levels. Shadow Pieces can also be alone and not in groups, but you can only do this with this procedure. 1. Get the Rook, Bishop and/or Knight marble sketches first. 2. Put the sketch in a Pottery Table (I forgot) 3. Make the Rook, Bishop and/or Knight marble sketches. 4. They will only come out if you hammer them during night at a New Moon. *NOTE:* You will be forced to fight the Shadow Pieces in groups if you hammer one piece near the other pieces, as the first you piece you decided to hammer breaks out, the others will break out as well. You can avoid this by moving them far away from each other OR only making 1 piece.

[@a_pufferfish2936]

Extra Advice: If baby tentacles are being such a big issue to you (which I can't imagine why) put a spear in hutch and have him run by them, they will hit him but he will instantly kill them in mass amounts. Remember every time you hit the big tentacle though, it will make more.

[@wesleytegan5093]

5:48 Pengull (UNKITABLE) ummm, well what you can do is(if they are really annoying your and you don't have other mobs to kill them for your) move them one at a time away from their group and kill it/they run from you like a pigman. They can be stunlocked. Wait for the music to end before going back.

I think that using an Ice Staff on MacTusk often more doable than using chester as bait, simply because finding chester can be time consuming. Spot Mactusk, 2 shots from an ice staff, take out his hounds and/or son, then run up to him and beat his face, hopefully he drops a Tamo and a Tusk :)

[@BigletJohnson]

Worth noting that the amount of strikes between dodges on most of these larger mobs are best case scenario when you have massive speed boost (mighty wolfgang + cane) and so are higher than normal.

[@EdgyRick]

No, they are not. I tested every mob as wilson with no speed boost. You can hit every boss that amount of times with no speed boost.

[@BigletJohnson]

Sure they are. 3:16 you're switching to cane to escape the attack reach and running over a road. Take away speed boost and add some latency (normal playing conditions) and there would be no chance you get away with a third hit. Nice guide but these are pristine testing conditions.

Actually a method to deal with Pengulls and get eggs in winter is to lure them away by running at them and leading them away from their spawn far enough not to get the others to aggro onto you. Then you can stunlock them safely. I died to Pengulls twice from just attacking them in groups.

Pengulls arr kitable. It just takes some time. Step into the group to seperate them. Walk towards one of the pengull to seperate them from the crowd. It will fall back. Continue walking until the singled pengull is at least two or three screens (approx.) away from the rest of the group. Attack, and even id you are using a spear, the animation of him calling his friends is so long it won't attack you. Just keep in mind not to walk back towards the group until the battle music wears off ad they will still be hostile towards you

[@Webdriver_Torso]

shadow clockworks are not unkiteable, they each have windup periods, if you have a walking cane and are on a road you can keep running through them to sync up their wind up periods and get hits off whenever they all pause, other than that you are essentially only dodging the bishop since its attack is the most similar to a hitscan, kill the knight first, then repeat the previous process of hitting them only when they pause their attacks, kill the bishop second and then the rook is just plain easy

[@EdgyRick]

Look at pinned comment. Also, they are unkitable without a speed boost, so the guide is mostly right.

@@WoshTheTriangle It drops mushrooms, frog legs, meat, mushroom spores, and blueprints for funcaps (which are mushroom hats that reduce hunger loss). The actual good drops are shroom skin and glowcap/mushlight blueprints (which provide long-lasting light and are made from shroom skin). Misery Toadstool, the harder counterpart of Toadstool, also drops a blueprint for the napsack, which is probably the most useful drop - not for its intended use, though. Never use it for that. Instead, since you can use one shroom skin to make four napsacks, do that, and then deconstruct each individual napsack for a net gain of three shroom skin. This renders the Toadstool fight unnecessary as long as you keep getting green gems from Dragonfly or the ruins.

[@lonejohnwolf]

There's a lot I can add on to this and/or correct, and I want to really bad so prepare for a huge chunk of info. Most of these you actually got pretty dang accurate to what an extreme hardcore fighting pro like me has experienced, but a good amount of your attack counts COULD get an extra one if you're good enough at the game with a good connection, which you did mention with beefalo and koalephant. This will be information that fits with how the game currently is, so some things in the video may be wrong due to being outdated. What I'm saying here is more of a guide on how to kill them efficiently though, I learned this stuff on my own from playing and mastering fighting things pretty dang easily. (Btw I despise the whole kiting thing, it's ridiculous. I just call it fighting like you're not an idiot, because it's common sense that you wanna take as little damage as possible for the most benefit.) I'll start with pengulls, as they're one of the easiest. All you do for a pengull is drag it away from its group, then stun-lock it, SUPER easy. With bunnymen you have to make sure to stun-lock it JUST as it would start to run away, or it will almost always get away. So, going with the assumption that it has to lose 130 health first, here's how you actually deal with a bunnyman. Assuming you just have a regular spear (takes half the swings with a darksword btw), hit it once, dodge, hit again twice, dodge, and then I think you can just stun-lock it as you'll go above 130 damage with the next 2 swings. You might wanna split the last 2 swings in half to be safe, by only hitting it once, dodging, then stun-locking. With tanking anything, I would highly suggest using a marble suit, but I personally hate tanking anything, it's just not skilled gameplay. However, it's a lot more fun to tank a bishop than try and dodge it. You didn't quite explain how to deal with frogs in a way that would satisfy me if I was trying to learn how, and chances are I'd probably just get smacked up a lot if I went off of what you said if I tried it for the first time. I kill frogs (with a spear again) by hitting them three times IF it hasn't noticed me and isn't hopping away from me, it works great. But let's say a frog actually notices you, maybe you killed its friend with my assassination tactic. It's easy to deal with, all you gotta do is hit first (or dodge first if you're scared) and then dodge and hit again twice, very easy. If you get chased by a horde of frogs, they're basically the same as bees, except you have a lot less time to dodge. Just hit once and get back fast. I have taken out over a hundred frogs before AT ONCE, single-handedly. Hounds you didn't quite get right on the 1v1, but you were close. With ice or fire hounds you just dodge, then hit three times to kill, as they only have 100 hp. But with a regular hound you'll wanna dodge, hit it twice, dodge hit it thrice. Merms I'd say you got right, but I have to note that when I try and fight them, they seem to ignore the stun-lock after the second (and rarely the FIRST) attack, which is quite infuriating. Werepigs I almost cringed at, you can easily get 5 or 6 FREE HITS on it if you just let it howl, other than that 2 hits is safe, but I can easily get 3 hits in due to the short stun it gets, sometimes it will bug out though, ignoring the stun from the third hit. From what I've seen, you can usually just smack it to death and stun-lock it if you're hitting it with a friend. It will actually howl again if it gets hit by something else and not interrupted. With both kinds of shadows, I find that I can usually hit them twice after dodging, it's probably a bug but it's extremely useful. I don't like to hit the terrorbeak as it's attacking me, as if it actually lands the hit, that's 50 damage (10 with most armors). Spider warriors I must say I'm pretty disappointed that you didn't go very far in depth with them, as they're MUCH harder for me to fight than deerclops or bearger. Also I think the developers made warrior spiders no longer stop short on their jumps if you went out of range, making it IMPOSSIBLE to escape via distance alone. Also I would say you could get 8 hits in, but it's definitely risky. Spider queen is actually a lot easier to kill if you can memorize the timing with how long till she starts to poop out another spider, roughly around 3 dodges. I can easily get in like 7 hits while she's too busy making a spider to hit back, just gotta continue swinging on the attack pattern where you know she'll start making a baby, which cancels her attack. Tallbirds I just wanna say you should be very careful with 2 hits, as it's 50 damage if it actually manages to hit you, I'd recommend starting the pattern by only hitting once after the first dodge, then continue with double hits after every dodge. I'm pretty sure it's near impossible to actually land 3 hits on a tallbird without being hit. Tentacles are a bit tricky, as the second swing on its double attack has active frames that last the length of another entire attack, just pretend it does 3 swings and then hit it. I like to combine both of the tactics you mentioned here together, just hit it once it starts to come out of the ground, then dodge as if it had 3 swings, hit, and repeat. Treeguards are a bit of an odd case, if you time the active frames on the swing right, you can actually land 6 hits in, it's nearly impossible unless you start hitting it BEFORE the animation of the last swing you dodged ends, and then you gotta dodge basically frame perfect. I like to do 5 hits for leniency, but you can do 4 hits if you wanna be safe and/or are a scared baby, lol. Bearger is a bit of an odd case for me, I tend to not wanna fight it at all, as its drops aren't really that useful to me, the fur coat would be really nice though. I'm not sure if you can actually land 3 hits between bearger swings, but with the ground slam it is possible to get a hit in and dodge before he would hit you. I like to lead bearger to the oasis (as he doesn't eat cacti and oasis is pretty trash for basically any purpose) and just use him to kill deerclops for me. Seeing as he hibernates in winter, and doesn't respawn if he doesn't die, you'll just keep getting free deerclops eyeballs. I haven't gotten around to getting bearger to fight antlion yet, but I think he could win that fight too if you managed to get him mad at antlion. Buzzard is way faster to kill if you actually hit twice between dodges. I haven't killed one in a good bit, but I'm pretty sure you can treat them like stationary hounds, it might take 6 hits with a spear though. Catcoons are very easy, I've never had any problems taking them down by just spamming a spear on them before they can attack me. But I think you left out a VERY important detail that I myself haven't really explored (as I hate being unable to have pig villages), which is if you're webber or wortox! What do you do then?? A lot of people (webber mains for example) won't be able to use this if the catcoon just jumps at you without warning. So I'm left very unsatisfied with this one. (Comment was too long, I put the rest in replies)

Moosegoose is a very easy boss, her babies are the real danger for me. I'm pretty sure you can very easily get 3 hits in on her, and for the honk (if you play on controller especially) I suggest you just let the weapon drop, and grab it again really quick whenever she honks. Having to manage your weapon being equipped or not WHILE trying to dodge just isn't very fun, right? Moslings are a bit complicated. It's best if you dodge the first mosling's attack, then follow it while it spins, simultaneously dodging every mosling's attack as well, then just hit it as much as possible before it gets back up, then repeat on each mosling. With a darksword I believe you could kill it with 6 hits, but don't bet your life on it till you confirm that. Birchnutters are a huge fricking pain, but it IS possible to dodge their attacks and kill one with a spear, if you get it frame perfect on the dodge. I would not recommend fighting more than 3 at a time even with a darksword. Varg is one of the hardest creatures in the game to kill, and will plague your worlds in the late game if you don't get rid of them, or you'll never follow hunts anymore since you're terrified of vargs. Luckily for you I happened to find the PERFECT tactic on killing them with taking NO damage, and ignoring all the minions. This tactic is extremely advanced, but only requires a weapon, and probably a walking cane. Just run away until all the hounds give up, the varg will not give up, then dodge and get 2 or 3 hits in, then repeat. This does take a while as the varg has like 1000 hp, so I suggest you give the hounds targets to get distracted on, such as beefalo, or a brave friend. If all the hounds are distracted, you might be able to get 2 attack patterns in. I VERY HIGHLY recommend not using anything weaker than a fresh ham bat with this tactic, or it could take ages. Antlion is actually unkillable 100% if you're using a controller with the client mod I use, which makes controllers WAY BETTER. If you don't have the mod then you'll have to make sure to lock your target on the antlion BEFORE it launches up any spikes, or you lose instantly. PLEASE KLEI fricking FIX your game, make the antlion the high priority target for CONTROLLERS TOO! Slurpers are extremely easy to kill. I would assume you're not a nutcase, and actually have a darksword when you meet one of these things. All you gotta do is dodge the initial attack, then hit till it dies. Pig guardians ARE NOT LIKE REGULAR PIGS, I don't know if they used to be or not, but if you try to fight them like regular pigs you WILL die. Their attack cooldowns RESET upon being hit. (Let me know if this isn't actually the case, I'm going purely off of memory.) Eyeplants are so easy to kill that it would actually look so pathetic if you baited out its attack before hitting it (unless you were wendy or wes with a spear). Just walk over and hit it, but make sure to not get in the range of other eyeplants while doing so. And don't you dare waste a darksword on eyeplants, you'll disgust me, but also be wasting the hardest strong weapon to obtain, I even tend to use spears (sometimes ham bats though) late game on spiders, so that I can save my darksword. Big tentalces might be able to be killed without taking damage if you lay down a sheet of destroyed walls where the baby tentacles would spawn, just a theory. You can use hutch to get rid some of the baby tentacles if you put a lightbulb and a spear inside of him, as long as they hit him instead of you.

I forgot to mention ancient guardian. It is NOT like rook AT ALL other than in looks. Sure it charges, but from what I've seen in videos, it charges A LOT faster than a rook would, looks nearly impossible to dodge. It also has a faster attack where it doesn't even move while doing it, and looks a bit random to me. I wish that with my over 1400 hours of Don't Starve Together I actually got to FIND the ancient guardian and fight it, but I can't even find the maze. Maybe I need to spend hours looking in one of my many servers, but basically the only part of the game I don't spend much of my time is in the ruins, much too dangerous of a place if you run out of fighting resources, and you tend to go through tons of darkswords down there.

[@kevor576]

my sugestion for kiting mac tusk is chasing it away from his camp inoring the hounds and when he starts walking back you just kill him
