In-Game Text

"The most hateful sight of all was the lice crawling on their clothes. I could see distinctly the limbs of these vermin with my naked eyes, much better than those of an European louse through a microscope, and their snouts with which they rooted like swine."

–Johnathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels, 1726

Bug Hunting allows combat with both crickets and spiders. Crickets for the fresh and curious pilgrim. Spiders for only the weary and battle hardened one. Bug Hunting also grants the knowledge to craft a slingshot so one may engage them at range and the stomp ability for when they get close.

About

Allows you to attack and kill Wartbite Crickets, and Spiders.

You will need to use a Slingshot or a well-timed Stomp in order to initiate combat with Spiders or Crickets since they will run away. Don't hunt Spiders unless you can one-hit kill them, or have enough Blood to survive several hits.

NOTE: Although you CAN attack, it doesn't mean that you'll WIN. The best strategy for crickets is to initiate combat and then move away until the cricket comes at you to attack; then start an attack of your own, timing the hit for when it comes in range. The best strategy for spiders is to wait until you have at least 30 in all Humours.
