### T.S.W. Survival Scale- Hunting or Fighting

1- Easy.

2- Mildly dangerous.

3- Can be handled by competent survivor.

4- Dangerous. Approach with caution.

5- Extremely dangerous, avoid if unprepared or kill on sight it prepared.

#### Deer

Deer can be hunted using a bow or spear as they will flee from you on sight. They can also be cornered to get a hit in with a club or sword. 1/5 difficulty hunting.

##### Stag

Stags are easily hunted with melee weapons. Just start circling them until you get to the back and hit them until they turn around, and roll away. Then repeat. With a bow, just keep your distance, and again, try to hit from the back. With 2-4 Stags, try to kill one at a time, or lead them to an Orcling Camp to get the orcs to help you. Overall, you just need a bone club and a few meat kebabs and you'll be fine. 1.5/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

##### Boar

Boars are a threat only to starting survivors. They are almost invulnerable from the front, so use the same principle as Stag hunting. They usually spawn in groups, so make them charge at you, then roll away. If they crash into an object, they will be stunned for a few seconds, allowing you to whittle down their health, slowly but surely. 2/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

##### Bat

Bats are probably the most common enemy you face. The best way to fight them is to get a bow and shoot. Otherwise, you have to find the right timing to hit them, right before they hit you. They are normally one shot to any weapon above a wooden club. 1/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

##### Warthog

The Warthog is our first badlands creature. They are slightly stronger than Boars, and have the same attacking strategy. The only difference is that they can be lured towards Venus Fly Traps, where they will be attacked, and you can beat them up, or escape. 2.5/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

##### Wolves

Wolves will be found guarding vaults and lore structures. They will spawn in groups of three, and since they are pretty weak, just charge them head-on, and with a few hits, they will fall. If you cannot fight them, just make your monkeys intercept them while you shoot arrows at them. 1.5/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

***Venus Fly Trap***

Venus Fly Traps can be found near dinosaur bones, They do somewhat a lot of damage, but due to the their short range, you can attack them safety by using Spears or Bows. 1.5/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

**Cougar**

Cougars are found in their Den in the Badlands, They have a lot of health than warthogs and a somewhat more dangerous, you may need to have 2 combat monkeys with metal clubs before taking down this beast, Be careful it can spawn in groups. 3/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

**Devil Boar**

Devil Boars are the most powerful species of boars, You can do the same tactic as Boars or Warthogs, but they attack twice before a delay, they also spawn in groups to overwhelm you, make sure you are well prepared with a metal sword, combat monkeys and a lot of food before tackling this. 3.5/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

**Tigers**

Tigers have somewhat more hp than cougars, but you can do the same thing as the cougar tactic, they may occasionally spawn in 2 making you overwhelmed, make sure you have well preparation before taking down this beast. 3/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

**Spectre**

They will spawn with 5 Skeleton Corpses, The skeletons deal a lot of damage and will overwhelm you, You may need a sword to hit them all at once and a few fruit kebabs in case you have low health and got overwhelmed and you will be fine, keep in mind that the Spectre can respawn them and continue to overwhelm you. 4/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

**Snapping Turtle**

Snapping Turtles will spawn near swamps and oceans, They shoot 3 acid spits, they are hard to dodge but they deal low damage, so you won’t get overwhelmed even with crowds. 2.5/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

**Swamp Bog**

Swamp Bogs spawn near Dinosaur bones in the Swamp, the only attack that this creature does is put a toxic cloud, due to its area damage, you may need a bow/arrow to kill it safety, you can also have monkeys have bows to shoot at the Swamp Bog too. 3.5/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

**Elephant Bird**

Elephant Birds spawn in the Volcanic in groups of 1 or 2, they can spit out 3 acid spits like with the snapping turtle, the only difference is that they can do a melee attack, if you are planning to kill this creature, Caution is recommended as the melee attack does a lot of damage, you can also attack behind to attack safety. 4/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

**Panther**

Panthers are very dangerous as they can attack twice before a cooldown dealing heavy damage, they also spawn in groups to make it hard for you to deal with, Extreme Caution is advised, bring a lot of high tier food, weapons and preparation (monkeys with weapons). 5/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

**Frabbit**

Frabbit spawns occasionally in the Volcanic, this creature is really fast if it runs, make sure if using a melee weapon does the right timing, bows can be used for easy shots but they deal less damage, if you kill it you can get a lot of rare loot. 3.5/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

**Volcanic Spitter**

Volcanic Spitters can be found in the Volcanic biome, they can shoot a fireball which doesn’t do a lot of damage, it also has a short cooldown so it is easy to kill this hostile plant. 3/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.

**Shark**

Sharks deals the highest amount of damage, they spawn near Beaches or oceans, if you walk into it, it will attack instantly, make sure to keep your distance away by using a Spear, you can also use Bows to attack the shark safety. 4.5/5 difficulty hunting/fighting.
