All about zombies

Zombies are one of the two enemies in Stranded Isle, they can be found on the surface or down in the cave, they have 16-30 health and they do 10 damage.

You can use anything to kill zombies, even your fist, but it's recommended to use any type of a sword to insure maximum damage.

If you start getting attacked by a zombie, you have 2 choices:


 * Fight. You can fight the zombie by standing in the water and attacking it or, if you have a sword you can stand still and swing it in the direction of where the zombies is (when the zombies are close) and you should not get hit.
 * Run away. Sometimes you're not prepared to fight a zombie, and running away is the best option. You can try to outrun them, or go in the water and try to lose them.

Zombies don't like the water, so they will not chase you into the water, so if you are low on health or don't have any weapons, going into water should save you.

Please Note: Zombies can swim in water, and have a swimming animation if you shovel the sand underneath them with a gold or gem shovel. they will then swim around at their normal speed, and can come back onto land. You can also sometimes see a swimming animation on land, by getting them to brisk past a block onto the edge of a sand block. They sometimes can spawn like this as well, however in both cases they cannot move unless it's onto land or along the coast.
