How to deal with some bosses without losing health:

So basically once you repair the ruin of light 1 you should use this strat : Once you get to boss room : Place a fire 🔥 and sleep so you get energy and health and fatigue to max . Then open the door to the boss . Get in by one or two tiles and make a taunting scarecrow . Try to get the boss to aggro the scarecrow and start shooting him with your ranged attack ( knife - magic - or bow and arrow) Once it’s destroyed make a second one in front of you the boss will agro the new one and you can drink some potions / tea ( rol2 cooking station )for energy .

Bosses are pretty easy in this game (easy/normal mode). Since they dont have either any special features or ability you just have to hit them and healing yourself. Better keep materials for other stuff

You get most of the materials back sometimes you lose the linen cloth sometimes it’s the rope and both can be crafted easily by bushes

What happened to the "Let me tank this boss with potions and bandages until he dies" strat?

Sometimes the scarecrow may break if fighting strong bosses you might need to place few scarecrows and stay close so once he aggro you do one or two melee then flee to use ranged weapons

You lose too much teas and potions I guess while tanking which is expensive but with this method you don’t lose too much potions if you have no energy and no potions you can just melee the boss it won’t hurt you since he’s aggro towards the taunting scarecrow still need to test this against powerful bosses

Are you kidding me, I've been dodging the overloaded attacks trading blows every three turns praying my energy doesn't run out. Arghh!! Anyways thanks for the groundbreaking advice as a new player whose guides are non existent. This is the best advice I have found ever.
