Abonination Strategy

I ran into one w/ my copper aged, troll armor wearing character. I was short on Fire arrows and quickly ran out. He is pretty fast for a big guy (I think he moves as fast as a troll and suspect the ai is similar/same).

I couldn't stop to make more arrows so I did the next best thing.

I started picking up stones and dropping a network of campfires and simply kited him through my labrynth of campfires until he burned to death.

I see potential in this strategy for low lvl characters even with a good supply of fire arrows.

*I did lure him out of the swamp to do this

Well like I said in my original post, I managed to kite him through a clearing in the meadows dropping campfires until he burned to death.

I'm playing a new hardcore guy. He can't make bonfires yet.

fire arrows are the best for early game but ideally you need to retreat to black forest or meadows so you wont have to fight other mods as well.

If you keep strafing to the right, the only attack it has that can reach you is the ground slam. The left arm swings in a wide arc around the left side of it and the right arm has always been a forward jab when I've fought them. I just chop them up with a sword no problem. 2/3 of their attacks are literally unable to reach you if you just keep walking or running towards its right rear leg

GOOD INFO... i'll try it on my "not hardcore" character before I attempt it on my HC guy.

I always find one of those big, undestructible trees that goes on an angle higher than abomination. Run up on it, till it cannot reach you but you can still smack it with your axe.

Proceed to dangerfree chopping, as not only Abominations are prote to axes, but even Elder buff works on them too.

Jump on invincible trees or sunken crypts and then range / melee him as he pounds the lower ground in frustration. Surtling fire geysers are also good.

You know you can do that with surtling spawners too. I love to parry his attacks when he is standing over surtling spawner. He takes extra dmg from fire when he is staggered so he dies very fast. Im not sure, but i think upgraded bronze buckler combined with good foods can parry all of his attacks.
My strategy for swamp is to always flatten the ground around surtling spawners a little bit below the water level. Surtlings will die when spawned in water, and wont interrupt my fight with abom.
