Enemy placement issues

[Knavenformed]

Game has a couple of random spawn locations here and there that are just not well thought out
Mainly it comes down to Greataxe tanks and Riven Twins Ents

Some root climbing sections have the enemies spot you before you've climbed the full way up, and some enemies have massive sweeping attacks that will punish your climbing animation

Also in the Beach/Shallows, you have a kick down ladder next to a small room, if an Axe enemy spawns there they can sweep easily over half the area of the room, and notice you walking in before the room is opened up to view

Yep that happens, but you can always give up and come back later since they will resume their original position after some time, the big trunk guy you are talking about is on that alternative entry to the town right? I usually just run past him and kill the two dagger dudes so i can lower the ladder near the bear statues.
Yeah that is the death room if you find those big axe dudes in there, the ones that throw bombs, really annoying, parry is key in those cramped rooms though.
Other place the axe guy appears is up the vines near the daughter and father campsite after the bridge, before the whisper of the swamps, really annoying.

Well that doesn't really sound like engaging design, but yeah I had to drop the Ent fight in the highest part of alt-sacra mountains, just not a good placement for that enemy

If he does the swipe attack the best way to dodge that is to dodge towards the bastard, the kick can be avoided too, problem is staying too close when he does the triple attack, those tend to follow your dodge pretty well and if one hits the others will soon follow, without poise you are toast. And he always grab after the triple attack too.

There is no problem with the enemy itself, there is a problem when you're stuck in the clambering animation and the Ent sweeps you back down where you came from

Could be fixed by making the clambering animation "stealth" or make the player impervious to damage until they are finished with the final animation of climbing sections
