[Suggestion] Nerf the freaking cave flies!

[MaskMan191]

I hate them! They kill me almost every day. I can't run from them because they are faster than me, I can't fight them because I can't change the direction i'm swinging my sword when i attack, they swarm me, and then Maru always steals my ores and money when I wake up at the entrance! They are the ONLY thing I don't like about this game!

UPDATE 4/2: I found a wooden mallet in a barrel on the 32nd floor. I've gotten up to 60 and haven't taken damage.

I hate the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ things too tbh. They get WAY easier to beat once you get a better sword, and you can onehit them usually by midgame.

With a good weapon, caveflies aren´t a big problem anymore ;)

[Seelen]

Even with the first weapon they arent really a problem, just position yourself properly and whack away.

[Rafein]

It's a timing thing.

And don't forget, with a sword, you can defend, which will cause them to take damage and just bouce off you without hurting you.

[Autumn Elf]

Go to the adventurer's guild and get a good weapon, boots, eat defense food, and get nice rings. If you do this you'll progress and they won't be a problem. If you get them at the tip of your sword, you can keep them at distance and it takes about five hits as a low level to kill them.

[Swirler]

Actually I have experienced the fly swarm.
And it is impossible to beat with the basic sword. You just get screwed hard.

Fortunately this isn't a common thing, and as you level up you get more health better access to weapons and more experience in fighting them.

But the first time you get swarmed it's pretty brutal.

[apexpez]

Stand in place, in a corner may help?, and try to time your attacks. Right clicking will damage multiple enemies at once assuming they hit you at roughly the same time. I've found that with the iron sword it takes eight hits to defeat one. And you can beat the swarms with the basic sword. I was doing it until just recently. Healing items will pause the game for the duration of the animation for using them. As for not being able to change direction, your character should turn to face your cursor as you click as long as it's close enough. I'm not sure what the max distance is for that.

This is just one of those things that it's kind of ridiculous at first, but once you figure out how to fight them they become little more than an annoyance.

You mean the serpents, right?

If you mean the guys in the first floors of the basic mines... I don't even want to tell you what's coming later :-/

[Thievery]

Just run away, come back another day. Craft some stone ladders to skip a floor or 2 in order to get to the elevator floors. They were my bane too, but a better sword made crossing those floors much easier. I think it was the annoyng sound they made that irked me the most.

No joke. The thing I hate about serpents is that you can hit them, kill them and yet you still take damage for some reason. Half the time I don't even feel like they touched me and yet I lose health.

[Rafein]

Last game, I ended up doing a lot of fishing early before the mine was even open.

Got lucky and got Neptune's Glave from a fishing chest. Felt funny walking into level 1 mines with a sword 10 times better than the starting sword.

[Kurzidan]

Enemy too strunk.

Must narf

ooooorrrr.....

Git gud m80

___________

Keep 99 stone, get 99 stone, or have a staircase on you when spelunking. You don't physically run from the mist/fliers, You return to the ladder and leave, or place one, and leave.

Well the enemy is hard i feel like it is on porpuse. Just to let you know that your weapon is to weak and you need to buy a new one at the guild. Thats why you need to kill 10 green slimes. Once you done that you roughly het to the flies point zo you visit the guild.

Agreed, it's a game mechanic to tell the player that they're in a more challenging area and require a higher tier weapon.
