Tips for Beating Wolves (Unarmed)


Chainsaw Wolf
When I first started, this guy was a big problem for me. But now I've found an easy way to kill this type of wolf, the Chainsaw Wolf. All you have to do is jump over him, then quickly kick him in the back. Now his hat should have come off. Quickly grab it, and throw it at his back. He should die, from what I've seen.

This will, however, not allow you to collect the chainsaw (as the wolf would be at the very end of one side of your screen). The above method is just for if you want them to go away because they're so damn annoying. Alternatively, you can kick them in the face repeatedly, but they would have to walk back and forth a couple of times. You just have to choose based on your situation, because sometimes you will see them in packs of wolves or alone, so just choose the best method for how much leeway you have.


Two-Knife Wolf
Next, the Two-Knife Wolf (but really those are cleavers. You know the kind you cut pigs with to make pork.) When I first started, I jumped over the thrown cleaver. But this doesn't always work out, especially if there are Rocket Wolves in the sky. So, I saw the better option is to duck under them. You have to wait for the right time, or you will bash into them coming up or down. If you time it right, the cleaver will bash into the wolf on the other side and give you some free damage.
Baby Wolves
Now I know this guide is about killing wolves, but these Baby Wolves can actually help you. If you let them cling onto you, when a cleaver is thrown on the side they are on they will die and fall off and you will take no damage. A less-than human shield!
Rocket Wolves
When facing a low-flying wolf, if you jump up and immediately press the down arrow while over the wolf, you will perform a kind of drop kick and will kill the wolf and take no damage.

When facing a high-flying wolf, you can use a jump attack to knock the rocket out of control. While this is more difficult than waiting for it to fly low to the ground, the rocket spinning out will kill more wolves for you.


Granny Wolves
These Granny Wolves aren't that special, so I don't have much to say about them. They're basically the same as Knife Wolves, just with 1HP less health. And I don't think it's fair that they can kill you with a basket!
Knife Wolves
All you need to do to handle these Knife Wolves is buttonmash in their direction. Just make sure you don't get swarmed!
Pogo Wolves
Okay, I have two things to say about these Pogo Wolves. The easiest way to evade their attacks is to duck under them, and again, it's all in the timing. However, evading them can cause you to easily become swarmed. The easiest way to kill them is to jump and attack them as soon as they are in range. On the way down, make sure to pick up their weapon.
Lumberjack Wolves
I just treat these Lumberjack Wolves like Knife Wolves with the buttonmashing. These guys have a lot of health, and once you kill them try your best to get the axe, as it is a very strong melee weapon.

Tips for Melee Weapons/Projectiles

  • If a projectile is thrown, you can duck under it, then grab it as it goes past. Now the weapon is yours!
  • You can deflect projectiles with held melee weapons. Just be careful doing this, as this will use up 1 count of your weapon's durability.
  • When a melee weapon breaks, it will splinter into two pieces. The handle will be left in your hand which can be thrown to damage/knock back wolves. The other piece will fly upwards, and on it's way down can be grabbed and used in the same way as the handle. These airborne weapons can also be deflected with a whole melee weapon as stated above.
  • The blade projectile (dropped from killing a chainsaw wolf) is unique, because a) when thrown at a wolf, it will kill it in one shot, and b) it will drop one more time only to be used again.
  • When you kill a wolf with an attack that makes them fly upwards into the air, their head will be dropped as a regular projectile that can be caught and thrown or deflected.
  • You can avoid flying projectiles by double jumping or pressing the left arrow key in midair. Just make sure you won't get hit by a rocket wolf!

Conclusion

I know this was a short guide, but it's also my first and hopefully I was able to help someone :)

I'm not going to beg for likes and favorites, but it would be nice y'know?
