I like to start every biome naked!

I still come across a old headstone every now and then, are memories😢

I have a playstyle I am doing that is essentially that. This strategy is highly effective in the swamp. You can pretty much sneak around in the swamp. I would first just easily level sneaking in the meadows and maybe black forest but yeah, I wanna see if I can play it like an assassin, but mostly passive

I got enough deer hides and leather scraps to make a tanning rack and a crude bow from just special attacking or ambushing deer with a flint knife. Even when I could make my bow, I didn't do it right away.
