;Sprint Kiting | |||

;Locust Bane | |||
:The "Locust Bane" describes the method of constructing a 2 block tall tower and pouring water on the sides of it. This prevents {{ll|locust|locusts}} from crawling up the pillar. Now the player can throw spears or rocks at them. Alternatively arrows can be shot from a Bow as well. | |||
