I always see people complaining about Bogeymen. I had trouble maybe, my first adventurer.
-I've been playing less than a month and can already kill Bogemen with ease.

My trick is to simply aim for the foot/leg the whole time. Keep backing up to organize the bogeymen into a line.

As you're backing up, worst comes to worse, he'll get one counterstrike and push you. Eventually you'll score a hit on his foot. Even if not remotely deadly, the slight damage makes more foot/leg-damage easier. Eventually, they'll lose a limb or motor nerves. Continue with other bogeymen until they are all crippled.

Now simply jump in, poke them a bit, and jump out.
Repeat until they bleed to death.

I've done this since Day one, and have only had issues maybe twice. ( -and considering I make new adventurers twice a day... )

-although not perfect, I find this method perfect for dealing with the persistent night-creatures alone.

Does anyone else have specific qualms or tactics against Bogeymen?

Travel only during daytime or with companions. Seems to work for me.

Well, if I have any Wrestling skill worth mentioning, then I Charge at them until they're knocked over, then I grab their heads with a free hand, and proceed to kill them with a cut to the head, throat or lower body.

The way I fixed this bogeyman situation is by setting the number of night creature species to 0 in worldgen. One might say that I deprived myself of a feature, but I looked at constant nightly attacks by boring, hard-to-kill monsters as a nuisance.

[Alamander]

You can do that!? Holy crap. They're outta here!

[scriver]

Of course, then there will be no night creatures whatsoever. No more Starved Hags or Crooked Creatures.

Bogeymen are easy to kill. I make sure I do not fight more than one at a time and then I charge at their feet. At worst, I will miss or just knock them over. At best, I will sever their motor nerves. Once they are on the floor, I aim for more vital body parts. Such as the throat. It kills them with extreme ease.

[assimilateur]

Well, the last time I still played with night creatures on, killing them was a pain in the ass. They were surprisingly resilient and the game literally spammed them every night. It was like being constantly ambushed by wolves, but wolves that dodged most of my blows. Not my definition of entertainment.

[Nukarama]

Be a dorf. CHAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. That usually works.

[Rumrusher]

once you reach a high level you can mow through bogies.
they just horrible nuisance for low to new adventurers.

turn attack to charge and run and once in a wile when theres just one there on the space by you charge, they will take alot of damage and fall to the ground, it seems to work really well for me, i try not to move too far cus i'm pretty sure they will despawn and a new one comes in if i do move too far.

it is just that some times you get bad luck with them i.e. stuck in a trap or are to weak to fight them.

i tend to avoid night till i get around 5 companions, after that i never run into night monstrers
