Mining it may take longer, but I still find it a better way than fighting the mallorn-ent. The mallorn ent must be summoned in fangorn, wich itself is already risky to visit. I honestly have found no other way of defeating it without mithril gear than putting it stuck into a hole or getting it stuck behind obstacles and just getting free hits from there. I find that method extremly cheap and unfair and so I try not to use it.

LOL gundies are no threat even to good players since they are easy to take out, especially in caves where they are fewer in numbers. Is it also that hard to build a wall between the potential gundie source and mithril mining site? It just takes a couple of cobblestone and a few seconds to successfully build a wall no gundie can pierce. I realise they are not a threat typically, but they tend to sneak up behind you and hit you, and guess what, give knockback. Which sometimes happens to be into lava. Also "potential gundy source" is literally all of the caves.

I still know of no-one dying to the mallorn ent. Just get a good battle-axe (like you probably have never used due to thinking you need mith) which deals full damage versus normal weapons dealing 1/3. Then get some decent armor (really any metal fac armor reforged to mith-level, so 24 iron/coal + maybe 200 or so coins), and 1 potent athelas for strength throughout the fight (more if you still want regen), and then it should be a fairly easy fight... oh, actually strength was nerfed wasn't it... Either way, it shouldn't be too difficult.
