1616 The remake adds underwater diving as a new traversal system that the original could not express. See Traversal for the full system. Swampshark encounters that take place in or around water bodies interact with that system: the Hero can dive to break line of sight, but Swampsharks are at home in the water and do not lose track of the Hero by depth alone.

2424 Swampsharks reward patient combat. Letting the charge attack commit, then parrying the follow-up bite, opens a window for a heavy riposte. A bow is also useful for opening damage from the bank of a swamp pool. Charging in melee without acclimating to their reach is a common early-game mistake. See Combat System for the full remake combat loop.
