My little noob character logged in this morning to discover a boar had gotten inadvertently trapped between her drying racks and her new crates of q6 dandelions. Fortunately she was able to flee the camp without it aggroing her, and refill her mentory at a distance. Unfortunately every time I logged her in again all day the monster still showed on the mini-map. She kept wandering off to look for chanterelles and exhausting her energy trying to run down that second bunny she needs to make a pair of bunny slippers, and hoping he would de-spawn when she came wandering back. But no. He was still there all day long...
Until I finally realised the reason he didn't despawn was because he was dead.
oh.
Thank you whoever slaughtered the boar and left him behind for me! Roast pork for supper tonight!
