About

Crickets are commonly found in the wilderness. They usually spawn in groups.

Once you kill a cricket you simply right-click it to pick up the dead body and place it into your inventory, unlike other creatures whose body you must actually lift to carry someplace and cannot place in your inventory.

Tips

• Crickets are actually very tough against a new player. If the only thing you have is Self-Defense and 5 Blood, and you attack it, it will probably K.O. you, and you will lose all your items and teleport in Boston. However crickets stop attacking after a K.O. and will not kill you.
• The best time to try hunt them is after learning Backalley Pugilism: turn on Guard, approach it and use Uppercut for an initial attack, then walk away and stay away until you see the cricket heading straight for you, as it approaches, hit it with another uppercut, rinse and repeat.
• Even better, get Fencing and use Thrust to one hit kill.
• A simple "One-Two" kill for a Cricket with only Back-Ally pugilism and around 15 YB is to aggro it with an Upper-Cut, and then perform a Stomp shortly after when it turns around to attack you. Be careful not to stomp too late, or your atack will be interrupted and you'll waste the yellow-bile.
