If you are at the appropriate game stage for those mobs (or a couple levels in armor and food before that zone) and dying a lot, take a step back and learn how to use a shield.

To you and everybody else defending the game's difficulty:

"Tell that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to the map generator, not the players."

I'm sick of trying to make my way to Bonemass having to dodge the Plains biomes, Having to navigate back and forth between 3 whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ continents just to carry a little bit of Bronze because I can't take it there through portals, Just so I can put a forge there. Getting stuck on a tiny little rock on a river between Black Forest and Plain, Fog every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ where to hear a Goblin approach my longship and club it down in just a few hits, and me getting to the shore just waiting for 4 Goblins and 1 Deathskito to finish the job.
