Now head outside. You will be able to hear some strange chanting. While you are out there, break the barrels and chests in the area before heading down the forest path.

These enemies are a bit more difficult to take down and can very easily deal more damage to you since they have a long-range with their tentacles, but they can still be taken out with headshots.

There will be two of them on your path, but that’s it.

Jordan is an experienced fantasy writer who spends hours behind her laptop, and lost in the pages of a book. She strives to be a successful gaming blogger, and has no complaint about the hours of game time she used to increase her knowledge of all things “geek”. She primarily writes gaming articles and fantasy novels. Ark: Survival Evolved is a favorite, along with Diablo 3, Warframe and Minecraft lately, though you can’t forget the good old Magic the Gathering card game! Writing about games truly gives her joy as it gives her another perspective to look at games from, a reason to really look into the mechanics of the game.
