New player, already lost 4 runs to the winter but trying to kill mactusk was a good idea! Got the tusk and the hat first try, things are looking a lot better for this run. Hopefully i'll be able to kill the deerclops
I just LOVE how the game doesn't tell you anything. That's how I died on day 30 milestone. Deerclops materialized out of thin air and started wrecking my shit in the middle of the night. He took out drying racks, my chests, my firepit so I couldn't see, and it was GG not long after. I am so butthurt.
@@emilbrandwyne5747 some of us didn't watch guidez until after we had played for a fair amount By the time I started watching videos on dst online I had already survived a full year
I dedicate one icebox to only ice and one icebox for food. I try and fill one totally full of ice during the first winter. This will last for years and is good filler to take to the caves for your icebox down there.
I’d like to add that, beyond the walrus tusk and tam, the two blue hounds are also very valuable to farm. I try and get 9 blue gems quickly to transform chester at day 31. While you can also do so at day 51 later, snow chester can really trivialise summer heat if you are carrying him around with 2 thermal stones.
Just wanted to say that all your vids are very very helpful and it was really fun to play the game using the knowledge you have shared. Currently re-watching all of your gameplays and guides because my sister and brother got interested ingame when they saw me playing and asked me to guide them through it as they can't get past winter or the first 10 days. Note in the vid. You said that the eyeball is very useful but you ate it. LMAO
There is still a lot of folks out there that new to the game or never even lived over winter. I sure hope your video can help them be good cause they kinda dragged experienced player down xD
Also, I had witnessed Mactusk smile and dance after his child and doggie died too. That's kinda scary... He walked towards me and do that animation. (I put toothtrap at their house.)
Love the vids.. A few thing i might add always wear armor when fighting no matter what and camp fire near where u fight deerclop is not a bad idea since it can take a long time if ur new to kitting ( which can result u freezing).. Oh and deerclop dont regen health and dont chase u to far either so u can always retreat and come back with more supply in case something go wrong..
for anyone starting out i think its best to play in Relaxed mode as even when insane you dont get bombarded with nightmare creatures. Then as you get better and better you can play on default settings
With Wigfrid I literally never starved during winter unlike in other seasons. Farming is not my cup of tea and finding stuff for the meat is much more time consuming than get a tons of ice for meatballs.
The first time I was able to fight Deerclop (after like 20 run failed) I got him down to like 500 health but then my sanity ran out, night time, hound waves, no more mushroom/food, no wood left. Yea be prepared is the best advice I can give after doing stuff in the video (lot of woods, foods, grass for camp fire, and stack up on mushroom/cactus/sanity health) but don't worry, you can always reset after you died :D
@@DemonRebuilt xD I mean most people that play walter know how to kite and seasonal bosses are so easy to kite. plus I always get at leat one walking cane before deerclops so I do 4 hits instead of 3 and I use the cane to run from his attack.
good tips here but i must say this is one difficult accent for the whole non native english world .. was like thermal stern? silk or sew kit? good that you show what you're talking about. thanks for the tips.
Yeah but if you light up a tree it will burn you, and when you are on a fire pit you will not freeze if you are on its light range, so just drop it there when you get to your base xd
@@Johannesburgus Yes, I know but I still find it the harder of the two, especially when the Dragonfly shows up. These days I can manage but I still greatly prefer winter to summer.
With Bee Queen it can help building a bunch of bunny hutches. You'll need a good 20 (with beekeeper hats) or 30 (without) to consistently take out BQ but once you set it up, you can do it as many times as you like. With Dragonfly, make a decent sized box out of stone walls and just sit in there for the fight. Obviously bring a bunch of armour and healing and a pan flute for when she gets enraged but you won't have to worry about the larva at all.
dude right as i started the video, my winter started in my world, hounds starting howling, i started freezing, wtf dude, im also almost insane aswell, WHY
my tactic to walrus: he always passive follows you, so you can just make him come close to beefalo/chester/any mob who has more than 100 hp so he and hounds start attacking that mob. First kill dogs, then chase walrus
Well, after some distance he comes back to his camp, i abuse that because when he does so he start slowly walking no matter if im there or not, so i could just stunlock and kill him.
Not trying to flex but my first time facing deerclops i clapped his booty without any guides since i really didnt enjoy the game enough to watch a guide. I got to winter by being very lucky lmao . (i didnt even have a good base) But when spring came along moose goose clapped my stuff... Just couldnt handle how it threw my stuff out of my inventory.
Ive been stuck on deerclops for a while now. everytime i try to kite as suggested, i still get hit even tho my lag compensation is off. its getting quite frustrating
Deerclops has quite long reach, so it can look like you're clear but it still gets you. You could try with the Insight mod to show you her attack range for better practicing I guess. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2189004162
Not really. If anything, it's a bit easier now because you can kite by running around to the back of deerclops instead of running directly out of range.
You're first statement is VERY much so incorrect. Winter was tough, but most new players can't manage their sanity, so Spring is worse. Then once a new player finally get's to summer, their whole base burns down. So I think the seasons are actually ordered in difficulty, Fall is easy, Winter is challenging, spring is hell, and summer is dropping the soap in front of the devil.
There is no spring if you die in winter. Sure, the following seasons can be tough or even worse than winter but I definitely have heard more complaints about winter than the others. I agree though, I don't envy those heading into summer for the first time! :P
