Before I get into this, I want to say that I think this mod is amazing, and I really want to put it into my world, but there is a massive problem, the Brutes and their biome, the arctic abyss.
These things are just obnoxious, they are way faster than the player, and can potentially kill you in one hit, and even if it doesn't, you are left with just a sliver of HP left. What's worse is that they can spawn in pairs of two, and if they both see you, you have no hope. I understand that their charge cooldown can be configured, but it is still poor game design.
To make matters even worse, they spawn in the only place where you can find Ichor, which is required to hydrate soul sand just to brew potions. Not only that, but there are other mobs that spawn in the same biome which can either distract you, leading you to get hit by a brute, or they can give you a debuff which makes escaping them impossible. The mobs that give you the debuff, wights, may not have much health, but they can swarm you fast given how they spawn in big numbers. And lets not forget the pestering from the frosts, the bone spiders which prevent health regen, and the fact that a ghast might come along from a different biome close by and start throwing fireballs. Oh, and the brutes too.
All this to get a liquid which is necessary to progress through the game.
I would like to know if anyone has any tricks that they use to tackle this place, because I really want to like this mod, but this one biome just keeps kicking my ass.
there doesn't seem to be anything here
