How to we kill the deerclops in don’t starve together

dont-starve-together

Playing with the two of us, we have reached the point where we can likely survive through winter, at last. But the deerclops totally -wrecks- us.

It's also incredibly frustrating to then have to replay hours of work to instantly die again.

We tried creating many log suits and the ham bat and doing a beatdown on it but we lost too much hp and insanity and we had no way to know how injured it was.

Any suggestions?

In my experience the best ways to kill him is to lead him into a large Beefalo herd, preferably in heat. Lead him into a swamp full of tentacles. Or just plane old kiting with a spike bat (tentacle drop). I've also seen people using Gunpowder. Lastly, if you have enough stingers, make a huge filed of spike traps and lead him into it while kiting.
