So uh....yetis.

[Bignastycupcake]

I'm playing in the new caves on my singleplayer world, I'm testing out to see what it takes to beat these caves, so I'm spawning in my gear that I have on my server, because my server isn't up as of right now, and I came across a yeti in the snow cave. Um, what does it take to beat these guys? I saw it took nearly 15 hits with a mastercraft sword, and it was a lower leveled one (112?) And a longneck doesn't seem like it's much good, takes too long to reload. I'm thinking either a shot gun, a fabricated sniper rifle, or a rocket launcher. I feel like the rocket launcher is really the only way to kill one without getting killed by one yourself.

Like I said, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

I'm not going to try and help you any further. You're beyond help - for the simple reason of your attitude.

so it'd probably be best to bring an ascendant/mastercraft compound bow or shotgun. compound bow with at least 200 arrows, and shotgun with at least 100 ammo, these two for a particular reason for bow for long range, and shotgun in case you miss something and you might die. not bad, i'll have to give it a try.

Agreed. Compound Bows take a little getting used to, but they're very accurate to a long range and have a respectable rate of fire. They're my preffered hunting weapon - I'm like Jennifer Lawrence only better looking.

Jokes aside, Metal Arrows are extremely durable. I recommend only bringing 50 - my hunting trips last about an hour, and I usually return with the full 20 I left with. They've got atleast a 70% chance to survive.

The cost is a bit rediculous though. they cost cementing paste to make and thats allready a bit of a commodity.

So the devs put a challenge in, that's entirely possible, and people complain. Gg. But if they made them as strong as gigas, then it would be a different story

btw the yetis base health at level one is 2000 and they spawn at level 160-300 in the snow cave so ya

So what? I've killed Rexes that had a lot more health than that. Killed them while on foot -everybody has.

You've only lost when you stop trying. So an attitude of "lol game is impossible GG devs" is both self-defeating and probably holding you back more than the Yetis are.

why would you do that? easy mode went straight for a argy to kill my rexes. saves time.

[jacob99]

what sdo you mean? dude i say that because the giga has base 30k when tamed and the yeti has 20k at level 300 which it spawns rexes cant get 20k wild and you cant kill a perfect breed tamed rex on foot unless your on a mount or hacking, how is saying that you dont know the game because you said that killing a level 300 yeti is as easy as killing level one rex even thou just at level one, a yeti has 2k health and the ones in the cave are level 200+ and take multiple hits from an ascendant rocket launcher that does 5k a hit to kill mean that i am just running out of an argument. it isnt, having a wild creature that is as strong as a max level perfect tame trex and spawns in groups of 2-4 is horribly unbalanced and you cant take on 2-3 perfect tamed trexes on foot and you cant take these on foot.

[DeadJukez | TTV]

The devs favor tribes. You're supposed to do most things in the game with tribes. With a tribe, this is entirely possible. If you're solo, I don't know what to say

they are, takes 3-4 shots from an ascendant rocket launcher to kill 1 level 300 yeti in the cave which spawn in groups of 2-4, and an ascendant rocket launcher does that does 4k a hit btw

I haven't tested myself but i'm 99.5% certain you can kill giganotos while on foot. Problem is you can't keep trying the same thing over and over again expecting different results .. which is what the guy was getting at. I'm thinking of something right now that would most likely work to kill yetis with ease.

Ps I saw a video earlier of someone doing the ice cave totally naked. He had a few deaths of course but he got in, got what he wanted and got out.

[jacob99]

yetis in the cave do 250 damage a hit and have 10k health, used admin cheats to test, yetis may look like megapiths but the are way stronger, there base health at level 1 is 2k.

also he cheated, the cave is so long and so cold you take 10 damage every second in there if naked and it takes 4-5 min to get to one end to the other and then anoth 4-5 min to get out, also the yetis and dires will kill you after your first step in

pretty sure he was in the ice cave with the artifact of the sky, not the new snow cave

[axenation]

I don't recall there being yetis, wolves and ice blue water streams in the sky cave. I'm not 100% certain of it's validity either, but it might be possible to do a high fortitude / run speed spec to avoid taking too much damage. I would have to test it myself and honestly I don't really care that much.

For giganotos I would assume that you can mindwipe and spec yourself around super high run speed. If you can run faster than them then the only limiting factor would be your weaponry and ability to re-arm yourself. Of course you can also make a taming pen to lure them in and do it the easy way .. but where's the fun in that?

I won't give away my idea for killing yetis yet since it's new. I could be wrong with what i'm thinking too .. but the point is there's ways around most things in this game just people aren't generally able to think outside the box enough to even try and instead try the same thing over and over until they get frustrated and give up.
