After a few attempts, Jake was finally able to kill the snails without using Flames of Wrath. The trick was simple… He just had to change his Aim at the last moment. Instead of aiming at their heads, he would aim at their mouths, but then he would change his Aim at the last moment. They had some crazy reaction speed, but they weren't as fast as Jake.
Jake also could let them get a bit closer, but when they did, they fired some Poisonous Arrows. The monsters sure liked that spell… In any case, Jake let them hit him now and then in order to level up his Resistance, but he regretted it a little since the third poison also had a numbing effect that lasted a couple of minutes.
