Escape a boar?

[Ekardt]

Is there anyway to escape a boar? One aggro'd to me while running a quest and I was unarmed. He chased me halfway across the world until I was out of stamina then killed me. Is it possible to escape them? Bobbing and weaving through trees did nothing. Boar seems pretty OP if one catches you unarmed. Lost like 10 minutes of progress and honestly soured my desire to play.

no tool? all tools work as weapon, maybe you have to crouch to hit the boar, but a stone axe or wooden hammer is good enough to kill a single boar.
Or run and jump over a fence helps al lot.

Sometimes they can get stuck but there is no sure way. Outside of jumping over a fence or down a cliff. Maybe water stops them too but I didn't try.

LOL

All I had was the hunting knife which cant block. I was doing a run to sell all of my crafted items so to maximize profits I emptied my inventory. It seems impossible to dodge the boar's attacks too. All I could do was slowly die to him lol.

It was probably glich they stop chasing u after like Half ur stamina.

Dont run, But if you do just cross water. Best thing is to stand ground and whack it with your axe.

When hunting boars they seem to run away after you shoot the first arrow / spear at them!
One also chased me earlier ... they use to give up after a while but now they don't seem to ...and when they get close up it's not always easy to kill them first!
I ran into my house and the boar was still outside!

They run after being near death injured, most of the time.

Due to the nature of everything needing stamina, and you having the stamina of a 90 year old man, I suggest turning off "stamina usage" in the game options next time, the game is definitely no fun with the stamina in the current level as it is.

There is potions and foods for "less stamina", but they do absolutely nothing, at least nothing noticeable.

save and load while escaping

Almost everytime I am attacked by an animal I see myself running out of stamina wich wont allow me ro escape or see properly or fight.
Specially when I am hunting and I have to constantly use the Focus Vision so I can see where my Arrows or Spears are to get them back. Having in account the many times we have to hit the animals and how easy it is to miss I am constantly running out of Stamina and if I need to run at any moment I find myself pretty dead. My salvation have been to save the game before going to the woods where feel to be dangerous but honestly I wish I could just go and play without worrying about the safe save.

Or you could draw a lesson about maximizing profit vs. Safely making that profit....

For me - Carrying 5kg of extra gear each trip to ensure I can safely make the trip without losing 10-30 minutes is worth it, If that 5kg is a deal breaker - get the Backpack + Pouch.

Thats Kinda Funny, The Boars for me allways run away more then they Attack me. When i hit them, they turn around and run. So the Anwser to ur Question would be "Attack him" for me :D The Wolfs are more the Problem for me. When they Attack, and ur not armed, ur Screwed. No Way of Escaping those

I made sure to have the stamina set at the beginning so that I won't run out of it, I got tired of huffing and puffing all the time.

[Ruca [PT]]

And I don´t know why but I have come to realise that I actually die more to Boar attacks than any other animal.
