Hit me once, shame on you. Hit me twice, shame on me.

Hit me three times, Come on! I'm walkin' 'ere!!

Just a few weeks ago there were all these threads saying "Dark Forest is way too difficult, nerf please!". Ah the good ole days...

There has to be a punishment for dieing.

There is a time to run away too. Stamina limitation can be an issue if you pull too many guys. But the enemy are coded to wander mid combat, so if you beeline (weaving around cover if enemy is ranged) to your nearby portal you can make good your escape. Better, enemy heal slowly if at all, so when you are healed up you have an advantage from every hit you made last try.

The game is tough. You are probably going to die sometimes: stuff happens even if you were more or less as prepared as you can be. Having a couple of sets of backup gear, esp easy to make stuff like padded armor (one extra swamp run, which is trivial by this point, gets you the iron, and linen you can grow & process) and black iron weapon/shield, there isnt a lot of excuse to not have pretty good backup gear. I have 3 sets of padded, frostner, porcupine, and BM sword and multiple BM shields (worst of the lot: need extra chains).

the funniest part i find is greydorfs throwing stones while swimming...

Silver gear is sufficient for confident corpse runs. Just remember to craft another light. Dvgar outposts are fairly common in larger mistland regions (I suggest marking them on the map) and can be used to get enemy agro off you in case you pulled multiple on accident or a gjall (which you probably don't want to deal with on a corpse run. Don't waste stamina in the mistlands running on flat ground, use stamina for climbing mountains or sprint dodging attacks. Doing these things I have successfully done (almost) naked corpse runs many times (always have a wisp).

The problem I have with gjalls is that they always seem to spawn every time I equip my wisp, I don't know if this happens to you too, I swear, every single time I equip my wisp, I hear one coming my way, and I'm forced to kill it otherwise it will destroy the base I built around a yggdrasil root.

I have to agree that being prepared helps however enemies having zero stamina requirements and the zerg nature of multiple things + terrain eats through even "prepared" stamina reserves. I have wandered for 10 minutes in the mist and seen nothing, then I get 6-12 things at once. There does need to be some balancing done, it shouldn't be a nothing to fight or you vs bug nation with no inbetween.

Backup set of gear + Bonemass power = easy corpse runs

It's called being prepared. This game requires you to make GOOD solid decisions and take time making sure you have backup gear/food, portals, transportation. This is not a game to breeze through.

Agreed Darthtanyon, your rested buff and the food you prepare is essential to maintaining yourself in a way that keeps your stamina up. I hope you are willing to give the game a solid chance. there are plenty of videos detailing good to knows, and best practices
