All this great, and ya Swamp and the Plains are a wake up, tbh I use the shield for Parry, but ya its kinda weak in swamps, you just got to make sure all your Forge is as high as it can be before Iron, I am sure it's said above, but look for a Swamp on the edge of the Meadows and set up a base just outside the swamp so its nice and sunny. and make roads etc, Noise will draw Everything out, the Tree thing, just run. Bow's are a great extra weapon max out a bow and kill leaches that way, heck for some reason Green slime's are somewhat weak vrs arrows, I just kite and kill
