Goblin caves advice

[Squishy74]

So I've played quite a bit over the last few playtests goblin cave is a much appreciated addition but as for folks who are dying to the goblins.

My suggestions are this take things slower pace yourself bait the goblins one at a time, the goblin archers are a massive pain but squishy you just need to find your openings to take them out its a slow paced game.

When it comes to PvE it rewards using your head not your weapon in hand Started playing fighter to learn the attacks as shield is honestly really handy Rangers don't hit that hard on PvE but you have an easier time baiting one at a time so shoot a few arrows in them and if you have a melee weapon pick them apart nice and slow

As barbarians starting out you should take the savage skill as its a straight increase to damage so long as your shirtless allows you to take the goblins out in two headshots so long as they arent elite and about three or four body shots use your skills more often to start and finish fights but please folks know this the game isn't nearly as hard as it looks once you slow yourself down and don't just rush in without a plan.

Happy hunting and Good luck finding that great loot sorry for the poor grammar don't really feel like going through and fixing ♥♥♥♥ up.

On my side I play right now ranger and Clerc
1) watch where you spawn and how many mob are around : sometimes tou have two ennemies stuck together and sometimes they are split up.
2) start to attract mob one by one or shoot from far away. So far from my experience whatever if you crouch or not or if you are hide behind something you get spotted it is a simple old school « circle of detection ».
3) in melee with goblin, land a hit and get back immediately. If no reaction for 1-2s attack again. After 2-3 hit depending the weapon and class , the mob will either fight back or run away. He will start to shout staying immobile and vulnerable.
4) if you have a mage gobelin, make him use his offensive spell, hide rush at him and hit him. He will then focus on healing itself and be an easy target. It works also if you have goblin soldier and mage : hit the soldier and he will just heal
5) archer are for me bug cause they just go relatively close to you to shoot since go far away. So you have two option dodge left and right waiting the hit or run in circle around it.
6) as you have some height or object mobs as goblin tend to « bug » and stop moving for awhile , use this at your advantage.
7) move slow and don’t hesitate to break box for extra loot.
8) usually the most dangerous thing are others players some can be passive or friendly making the experience better for everyone others are to avoid. So better stay safe.
9) most people will not make useless pvp ( rush to someone to kill it even if it means kill itself or agro all the map).
10) door block most enemy except squelette archer which break them ( don’t ask me why).
11) you can heal others players as Clerc so team up can be a good option like barbarian and Clerc.
12) there is 4-5 portal with 9 players and a stair to leave without limit ( localisation). So don’t waste useless pvp.

13) for some reason or maybe it is bug there is no fall damage. So you can take some short cut
14) you can hit through wood barricade with right weapons ( which is logical). It also you to hit some mobs and players more easily
15) Clerc are extremely efficient against dead with his basic ability.
16) zombie can shout some gas which follow you but have difficulty with height
17) spider are simple to kill but respawn without limit if you don’t break vase where they spawn. A trick can be to attack from distance or jump over the object as spider won’t be able to bite you ( same works with chest)

In the process does clearing an entire room on accident count as having gotten good?

It helps to be aware of the treasure rooms in the vicinity of your spawn, usually there's enough time to clear and loot it even if you start outside of the circle.
Some examples are:
- topmost floor near northwest spawnpoint, guarded by two goblin warriors
- bottom floor near north spawnpoint, guarded by a goblin mage and a warrior
- side-tunnel near east spawnpoint, guarded by 3 mummies

The advice about some players are friendly is great advice, just one small thing I want to add to it. DON'T TRUST ANY BARBARIANS! All they do is *Rawr *Rawr bam your dead. :)
