It's now in game pass for anyone who wants to try it on the cheap btw.

I need some beginners tips if any veterans can give me some advice.

    1. Get a buckler.
    2. Upgrade said buckler.
    3. Learn to time your blocks so that you parry mobs' attacks.
    4. ???
    5. Profit.

    ...you'll also need high-HP food buffs for this to really work, because your ability to soak damage with your shield is proportional to your max HP. Early-game, I usually do two health-increasing foods (cooked deer meat + cooked boar meat are good, otherwise boar + neck), and then an energy-increasing food (either raspberries or honey, if I've scrounged enough bees to start an apiary). Honestly, deer meat and honey will carry you to at least the second boss.

    If it's your first time wandering in there, do not take the Black Forest lightly.

    That goes double for the swamp biome. Probably tenfold for the plains.


    Oh! And if you're building and having trouble getting two pieces to snap together because one is too low, try sitting down. That will drop the height on your player camera, and usually helps with those finicky snap issues.
