Discussion Bonemass is a wall for new players and that's fine

Every new viking hits Bonemass (5,000 health, Swamp) and bounces off. Here's the truth: it's a gear check. If you don't have poison resistance mead and a blunt weapon, you will lose. The Swamp isn't hard, you're just under-prepared. Prepare and it's trivial.

@SwampSlogger this is literally the fight that made me quit for a month. Came back with poison resist and a mace and it died in one go. Tough love was right.

The blunt-damage point is the one people miss. Bonemass shrugs off slash. A good mace and the Wishbone drop afterwards is the whole mid-game turning point.

Also build a portal at the crypt entrance before you fight. Corpse runs through the Swamp have ended more Bonemass attempts than Bonemass has.
