Help with the Mountains biome

[Vortex]

I just killed Bonemass and am starting to explore the mountains. But the wolves are a very big problem for me, I keep wasting my frost resistance mead because I die instantly from wolves. I have iron armor, decent food, Iron Mace/Sword, and Huntsman bow with fire arrows. But I just still always die from those stupid wolves.

Moder just destroyed my portal instantly (my portal is inside a stone castle) when I teleported back after I died. I f***ing give up, my next closest portal is right next to a plains biome and now I have no gear. I just returned to the location where Moder destroyed my portal and instantly 3 wolves kill me before I can put my gear on.

Take a breather and give it another try later on. I'm sorry that happened to you. Sometimes a little break, though, can make all the difference in the world.

Moder help

I'm on my first playthrough. Moder’s altar was on a steep mountain, with two stone golems nearby that I had to deal with. I placed a portal in an abandoned stone castle at the top. I started the fight with the best gear and food I could make but had to keep returning to my base through the portal for repairs. During one trip, a "You are being hunted" event triggered, and about 12 wolves killed me in the castle. When I returned, Moder destroyed the portal and killed me. I respawned and used a portal at the bottom of the mountain near the plains biome. I ran up with only frost resist mead and my best food, recovered my items, but three wolves killed me again. Now I need advice/help.

alright thx

This is where your spare armor comes in from the last biome. Grab it with nest food and weapon you used last biome and run to your corpse. Hit bonemass ability so wolves can't really hurt you. Murder them all with ease and grab your body.

Dealing with moder at the same time sounds....rough, you'll just have to be real gud lol.

I'm not real gud... but I finally got all my items back and ran away, then two deathsquitos killed me.

I will come back to Moder later

See if you can get rid of the wolves without pulling moder. Use a bow or something from farther away if you can see one, or try banging on a rock with a pick on the non-moder side of your body to pull them over. Once you get rid of them, you should be safe to proceed, but watch out as bosses have cheat-sense of where you are when you get close.
-----------------
or that. Moder is the hardest boss for me when talking going at it with the gear appropriate to the fight. There is no shame in failing her esp if its your first try or three.

Bro I died 13 times, I think I'll get needle arrows and Lox meat and stockpile everything 3x more than I did before

Also remember to level up your skills again. You may want to find a dwarf spawner and practice your bow and other skills until they are back up to ~50 ish.

I would grab my old huntsman bow and poison arrows and my old troll set and sneak in. Virtually undetectable in sneak. Huntsman bow is all most silent. You can one shot the wolves from range without alerting the others and just sit at the edge of the raid circle and wait for it to expire. When it does keep sneaking to your tombstone and pick off left over wolves from stealth as you go.

Put your good gear back on and go back to base and regroup.

Your idea for a portal in a protected tower was fantastic but a back up portal on the other side of the mountain at least 96 meters from the other portal (dig a pit, put portal and workbench in, build wooden ladder for access for you but not for the critters) would have solved the other problem. You'd still have access to the peak without having to climb up and make a bunch of noise and the boss that destroyed the first portal would be over there. If it was at least 96 meters away that would put her in the inactive part of the program until you got closer. No matter which portal you are at the action is paused at the other portal so you always have a way to get back.

build a repair bench and have extra arrows in the tower portal base

moder is a tough fight, but easier if you prepare for it

[knighttemplar1960]

Above and beyond all the suggestions every one has offered in all the threads, if you don't mind physical help instead of just advice there are forumites who would be willing to join you in multiplayer long enough to get your gear back and you put back together again.

as the game is a proceedural generation, boss locations will be random terrain. Some locs will be harder and some easier. Before the fight, assess the situation and plan for contingencies. We set up our little death base further away out of agro range of the moder.
We also dug pits under big rocks for hide spots when injured. We also raised walls for defense from projectile dmg as the moder flew round, changing positions. Digging pits/trenches for possible golem spawns is a good idea too.
Only fought it once, but these are the main strategies we came up with. Portals are weak to even little mobs, so a moder blast would simply toast it in one good hit.
And when you die, take your time to fully prep again with foods. rest and cape. Local wildlife can always make these fights tougher. And remember, normal difficulty is balanced for 2+ players.
