which weapon

[Maccy]

Hi can anyone help with which weapons are best to use on different types of creatures?

Kite them with a bow and arrows.

Use bow & arrow to pull them. then I use short sword while makinbg sure to dodge when I can. I use a mace for clearing out the lv 1-2 mobs with nearly 1 swing.

Mace is a good choice for weak enemies which you can kill in 1-2 hits, such as foxes, boars and dumb goblins.
For high level enemies however it's not viable.
To kill a single giant easily, just run around him in circles as fast as possible and hit him with a short sword. Same with bears. You should use speed amulet for this.
For grim reapers and yellow/red daemons use dodge tactics - when it comes to hit you, just stab it once with a short sword and back up, and repeat many times. It requires some practice though.
Bow is good against scorpions. Another option is to run in zig-zags towards it and hit it with a short sword.
The biggest pain in the ass for me so far are big monkeys with wooden clubs. If you are attacked by group of them, instant heal potion (or a meat pie at least) is your only friend
