Gotta love the Yao Guai! Thanks guys, you've given me some good ideas where to find them. I kinda like that they are rare; makes it all the more scary/shocking when one appears!
I'm on my third playthrough, but the first two times I restarted between level 30 and 40, so maybe that's why I've not seen so many variations? Though I've probably not explored enough of
the little random areas, which I'm doing more the third time around.
Yeah. They could definitely afford to be a bit more... radioactivy... I guess. Like, why aren't there bears with chainsaws?
The first time i encountered a Yao Guai was on my first melee character and i ended like Tristan on Legends of the Fall.
Just take a walk in the wilderness, they spawns close to camps like other npcs. Alot of camps left side of the map (if you divided the map in 2).
