never use the crossbow to kill a ichty NEVER

It has 400HP on Hard, the crossbow does 50 damage on every diffculty.

It takes 8 shots to kill it on Hard.

and you gotta take in the account that CROSSBOW IS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ PROJECTILE BASED AND ICHTY IS JUST A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CRAZY SHARK THAT YOU CANT PREDICT SO YOU EITHER GOTTA SHOOT IT WITH CROSSBOW ON POINT BLANK OR MISS EVERY SHOT

You probably didn't even hit it in the first place. Crossbow has weird physics with water. Bolt flies downwards while looking up, and upwards while looking down. If it fired straight, it would actually be useful.

Just kite with the pistol or take popshots from safety with the shotgun.

1.PsyVeteran is right, because i have no idea what the hell kiting is. (im not an expert on gaming ok, im sorry i claimed to be)
2.Ok i'll try that, thanks.

Also i know i was hitting the Ichthyosaur because the weird yellow blood sprite came out when i shot it, thanks for the help, and no thanks to PsyWarVeteran, all types of gamers should not be oppressed by their own kind, and we shall defeat them. Gamers Rise Up!

Kiting is essentially fleeing from enemies so you can get some distance between you and them, incredibly useful for melee based enemies. It's a fancy word for tactical retreat except it sounds less like you're trying to be a military LARPer. Games that allow you to sprint while running make kiting more of "shoot behind you while you run backwards"

I thought it was more literal. If you're holding an actual kite, it's going to follow you everywhere you go, in spite of it freely moving.
