The most effective way to battle multiple monsters at once?

When fighting multiple enemies, be aware of your environment: see if there are any useful features nearby.
For example, by luring enemies into a narrow passageway, you can fight them one at a time. Sometimes,
obstacles can trap or obstruct enemies, allowing you to attack them without fear of a counterattack.
