    if enemy:
        # Adjust y up or down to get away from yaks.
        if enemy.pos.y > hero.pos.y:
            # If the Yak is above you, subtract 3 from yPos.
            hero.moveXY(xPos, yPos-3)
            pass
        elif enemy.pos.y < hero.pos.y:
            # If the Yak is below you, add 3 to yPos.

You’re supposed to find the nearest yak, not the nearest enemy

I had to rely on luck, even if I go up and down I got hit by a yak eventually.

you need lots of health if you rely on luck, same happened to me when I went up or down, @logan_jordan. I think you’re a bit too slow, but if you get good equipment you should be able to beat it. By luck.

```python
while True:
    yak = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    xPos = hero.pos.x + 5
    yPos = 17
    if yak:
        # Adjust y up or down to get away from yaks.
        if yak.pos.y > hero.pos.y:
            # If the Yak is above you, subtract 3 from yPos.
            hero.moveXY(xPos-7, yPos-1)
            pass
        elif yak.pos.y < hero.pos.y:
            # If the Yak is below you, add 3 to yPos.
            hero.moveXY(xPos,yPos+3)
            pass
    hero.moveXY(xPos, yPos)

```

how much health _do you_ have? I think 1000-2000 should be enough.

You’re not adding/subtracting yPos anywhere in the code.  
When they are telling you to subtract/add to `yPos` they mean the variable.  
Change this:  
`hero.moveXY(xPos-7, yPos-1)`  
to  
`yPos -= 3`  
and change this:  
hero.moveXY(xPos,yPos+3)  
to  
`yPos += 3`

Don’t buy any equipment because this level is doable without the use of a single piece of armor.
