Made a Demigod pikeman in a 5 year pocket world for some monster hunting. Went to the local village and some drunk told my to kill a hydra that supposedly terrorises them even though he's on the complete oposite side of the map past mountains and rivers. Trip lasted 3 days just to get to the damn place, fortunatly the new jumping and climbing can make traveling alot more fun in areas you can't fast travel, such as sprinting to jump over a canyon and failing, only to grab on at the last second before you become Urist Mcgibs. I get to the place, full of confidence, and decided to stealth towards the cave just to scout it out. Hydras have full vision circles instead of cones so that's pretty dope, and makes sense. I turn of stealth mode, ready for an epic fight, and well, he never attacked back. I just shanked him in his chest a few times and spit on him while he was bleeding out. Are hydras blind or do they whimper in fear like most other enemies ? He didn't even have a ! Encounter symbol on him
Also figured out that you can prevent bogeymen by making a full circle of campfires before you fall asleep.
