So I lost all my bronze weapons, troll armor and mats in the swamp and its kind of a bit far from my teleporter. In 7 attempts to run back and get my body i find it impossible. Theres too many Draugr and leeches and skeletons. I've got like 6 rafts over there too.

My question is what do I do now? I had my swamp key with my body too. I need to come back and clear the area but i need a plan.

Poison resist potions, Bow tier 1 max level or tier 2 one or two levels in is fine and a tier one shield at max level could be useful. Do not really need to have armor but if you have extra hide that works fine.

If you want to cheese it somewhat you can set up a bed just outside the swamp and spam crafting stations or any item you want that suppresses spawns as you move to get you're corpse. I just happen to like crafting stations myself. if you place them above the ground only the archers can take them out.

You will have to clear way to corpse and any noises you make can and will attract unwanted mobs in the area just keep eyes open and pick them off with bow take time working way to corpse and you should be fine. Also take note of time of day it is much more easy to deal with the swamp during the day then night.

One last tip if you bring a hoe you can flatten the ground as you move through the swamp to help avoid leeches note that doing this will create noise and will attract mobs so keep eyes open when you do this. Stop every so often and look around clearing any mobs that are moving to you. You do not in anyway need to do this, but I find doing this along with dropping spawn suppression items helps loads with farming locked crypts and or just farming and messing around in the swamp.

Lots of good idea posted above, Good Luck!
