AFFIRMATIVE, FLESHLING.

It's key to have a wormhole nearby to stay in the Derik state. Oooor a Lazy Deserter if you have a long-lasting world.

Erik, The Tennis Player Strat Guide (Will be updated over time)

• Equip Erik's tennis ball to throw at enemies for 1 damage. Can be useful for aggroing Koalefants and killing butterflies.
• Wear Erik's athletic tape while insane to take less damage from nightmares and still have a chance to turn into Derik.
• Chop trees in the Derik state (after day 3) to easily farm treeguards for living logs.
• Use aggroed treeguards to fight against difficult bosses, such as Klaus!

[Hineios]

Wow! just amazing!
Good job!
