How to fight a wolf?
I spawned a wolf with the console to see how they attack, after getting solo killed by one.
With iron armor lvl 3 and iron buckler, one hit from the wolf is enough to stagger me if I block. I suck at parrying.
So if ONE wolf staggers me THROUGH IRON BUCKLER with just ONE ATTACK. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO INTO THE MOUNTAINS? I find absurd that one wolf can do that much damage.
Please tell me what is the correct weapon/armor/shield to fight a wolf without having to parry.

As a Bronze Age guy with troll armor I try and attack them one at a time with a fine bow. Just takes one shot if they don't spot you and 2 if they do. I don't think 'stand in one spot and melee' would be my go to tactic unless it was as TooTall1 said.

Serpent stew is superb health food. If sailing ocean till serpent spawns dont sound too tedious hunting few for scales and meat should help alot.

If you suck at parrying use an iron tower shield or the serpent shield. iron buckler has the lowest block resistance. I spawned a wolf with the console to see how they attack, after getting solo killed by one.

HP foods are almost the only thing that matters for viable parrying.
The alternative to shields is hitting them first with your own staggering blow. As mentioned, they do have relatively low HP so are vulnerable.

And for gods sake get the wolf on the same level as you or he will be able to hit you and you will keep on missing him. Get to flat ground area if you hear him coming or it will be a short fight.

Imho I hope they will change the hitboxes at some time.. it's not only a problem in the mountains. It's literally everywhere where it isn't flat. It is my main flaw of the game right now besides random mobs attacking my boot chilling in the docks regardless what or how I build there.

Which foods have you had active and what was your block level while testing? With iron armor lvl 3 and iron buckler, one hit from the wolf is enough to stagger me if I block.
Your ability to block/parry heavily depends on your max HP and block level. The more HP you have, the less your stagger bar will fill and the more damage the block will absorb.

Using a buckler, you parry. If you suck at parrying; use a tower shield.

If you suck at parrying, you suck at fighting. Sorry, that's just how it is. Learn to parry or you're going to have a hard time.

Hit them just as they get to you and it'll stagger them nearly everytime. Can 1 or 2 shot then easily.

Iron Atgeir secondary attack can handle an attack of many wolves at once.

They have relatively little hp and die to arrows quick too.

The mountains is where I started carrying a tower shield on me (though it was more for the golems). How do you do with a tower shield?
