Trees, Combat, HP

[Hans_Lemurson]

Ok, i will read this.
Yesterday i want to kill an cricket, first wars succesfull, but second takes my live. I see i cant eat in battle to regenerate my HP, i had no chance to escape. So what are my options if an battle cant be win or is dead my own option?

Greets

RUN!!!!
Run away as fast as you can. Also click the crossed-swords icon between the picture of you and the cricket. This will change one sword into an Olive Branch which will make the combat end sooner. If you run out of phlegm, keep walking. If it's hopeless to evade the Death-Cricket then find a stump or hollow log and put your valuable items in there, and then lie down and accept your fate.

Crickets have an attack that deals extra damage to you when you are unbalanced. I have seen at least 4 damage from this attack, so be careful.

(Rabbits are easier to fight than crickets, but the tactics are similar. Practice with rabbits)

you can't really stomp them, or at least I can't. Stomp puts my leg up in the air and I sway around but when my leg comes down the cricket is already gone.

You can. You just need to try a few times.
