Goblin Village

[Salami]

Im having a lot of trouble with the Goblin Villages. So far when im trying to play Solo, no matter how good my run was before i always run into a critical path Goblin Village that i just cannot beat. Running is rarely an option since either the exit is a crawl space, the rest of the floor is gigantic or there's some other murder rooms ahead.

bow

you could try using a bomb to blow up the goblins before you enter, which would get them to much lower health before you have to kill them, or if your on a low enough floor they might just die to the bomb. also I would recommend killing all the normal goblins before dealing with the goblin shaman(s) since otherwise you have to deal with a bunch of goblins blocking your path to the shaman meanwhile the shaman heals all the damage you dealt to them and the other goblins in between each time you manage to get to them while dodging the small goblins.

i've come across them twice and always deal with them by using a spear.

In my case, I am always happy to see the goblin village. Whether solo or with a group.
(Unless we're all on 1 hp without items to restore hitpoints )
Because there is always something interesting to loot

In any case, I always deal with them by aggroing 1-3 goblins that are closest to me and just going backwards while killing them and repeating the process with the next pack of mobs... More often than not, I even manage to get the bosses to come to me one at a time and without small goblins.

To do this, it is useful to visualize your threat level in the form of a circular radius with your character in the center in which mobs start seeng and trying to get to you. And if the threat level is too high, it may make sense to remove a piece of armor to lure only the closest enemies.
Also, if you play alone(Or no one at the party wants to play an archer), it makes sense to keep a bow of any rarity with you just to aggro specific enemies from a distance.

bow or us your dash to cancel air time and maximize damage, if you don't have a half decent weapon run through or ignore, goblin chief heals will outpace you, as for the crowd, aggro retreat, kill everything running backwards come back to solo the bosses and pray they are never side by side, because double heals equal you better already be a god or were not going to die even with a bow

[boom operator]

lure the goblins one by one or few by few then solo the shamans or use bow
