Don't Starve Together Guide: The Ruins 

In ruins is not the monsters that kills the player, the greed is.

Jesus... This was a pain to get out... Lost footage 4 times in a row, battled through sickness to get it done, and edited a 3 hour recording session into a 15 minute video... All that to say, I gosh darn hope it was worth the wait as the time for the ruins is now! Enjoy! Just a tease, the next planned guides are; Ancient Pseudoscience Station Ancient Guardian Shadow Pieces And then the "final" caves guide, The Ancient Fuel Weaver Should be a good end to the month! :D

Beard:makes tutorial about ruins Me:how to stay alive 15 days

"the more meat you have hanging low, the better the juices flow" Thanks now ill never get that out of my mind when I make jerky

When your friend asks you to play dst but you watched all of beards tutorials. * *the expert* *

7:25 "They can drain up to 900 sanity per minute!" Walter: I think not,

Using the dark sword, and nothing but the dark sword, has made me extremely accustomed to willow.

I'm trying to get better at this game, and can now consistently survive until the beginning of winter. These videos have really helped. Keep up the good work :D

The new glass sword is probably really good for the ruins because of their durability against shadow monsters and not draining your sanity

"Golden Shower"

I once brought 7 bunny men into the ruins and 27 carrots they fall asleep in the day but forgot I had meaty stew in my inventory so the bunny men where OK with me till one lost loyalty and convinced the party to attack me... Panic sets in! We rush through the ruins to escape the buck toothed terror everything is chasing us! Until a dead end was met. 2 rooks a knight and a bishop after us... Everything died except a single rook and the player prepared for the suicide mission had an amulet from someone's grave ready to haunt to take him Back from his undoing RIP hutch and those 7 crazy Bunny's but all's well for maxwell :)

I had the worlds most lucky spawn once I entered the cave entrance for the first time, walked forward for like a minute, exploring and entered the wilds biome, then the ruins were tight there was the ruins literally right next to the enterance I found them on day 4 DAY 4!?

Ah yesssss one of the videos I have patiently been waiting for 😍😍😍 you make THE BEST guides/tutorials. Please dont ever stop, your work is helping a lot of people whether they say it or not.

I've really been enjoying all your guides! They're clear, concise and straight to the point without rambling on about anything unrelated or unnecessary. Breaking them up is a fantastic idea too! It puts everything, from every bit of the game, in a small easy to follow places for quick access! I shall return to your videos when I'm feeling brave enough to enter the ruins for my first time! Thanks so much! ^o^/ Keep at it~

You’re just the best DST RU-vidr I’ve ever watched. Thank you so much for all the wonderful videos. Keep doing that, you’re amazing

So I set out on an expedition to find the ruins this evening, expected it to take a long time to find. Intended to head south from cave base, but got sidetracked by the existence of slurtles to the west. Realized I hadn't gone that far west before for whatever reason and decided to wander a bit. Found slurpers and lichen; got really excited about the lichen since I knew it meant the ruins were near. Bolted ahead and was immediately greeted by a shadow splumonkey. Thankfully, the only thing that died in the frantic retreat was my pride. (and eventually me, caught off-guard by like the 4th nightmare cycle because I didn't realize they were THAT frequent)

You did it! Great job on this Beard, looking forward to the next ones.

"Pray to the seven", I see you too are a man of culture. Gods be praised!

My little brother: yay! Golden shower! Me: oh no...

This guide is still amazing and the best after many years!

“i endorce smacking your meat on your foes heads” WOT-

I love your don't starve videos! Thank you for all this guides.

rest in pepperonis Hutch.. press F to pay respects

yoww weee, ive been waiting for you to do a guide on this! thanks beard man

Great guides whit a touch of comical humor, best of all!

13:58 so this is the famous golden shower!

2:12 *what.*

Man, best channel for don't starve, super relevant video for newcomers (like me) even two years after publication :)

Actually the wiki lies in some points like the attack period of damaged knights. Its 2 not 4

Me: time to explore the military Biome! Nightmare Rook: *Im gonna stop you right there*

I love all the references a jokes he makes

Lmao I remember my first time in caves as my main wigfrid and no the Bunny's weren't the problem the problem was my horrid addiction to finding the ruins and I'd normally run out of light :'D

when you make the fuelweaver guide, you should make a note that wearing the bone helmet will make both shadow and nightmare creatures friendly. allowing you to safely use the fully repaired science station without any danger after the bishops have been killed

You won a new sub, such a good guide, omg.

Amazing video!!!!!! Ty for the knowledge mr.beard :D I love the idea of raising a friendly clockwork army! Can they be brought above? Does their chance to spawn from broken clock work make gears “renewable”? Thx again :D

Would having a Wickerbottom use the lightning book on WX to supercharger him be a viable option for going down without an aditional light source

He having lots of fun with his guides

Amazing guide as usual

GREAT GUIDE I have been waiting sooooooo long for this

Love your videos beard they help me so much in don’t starve.

I found the ruins for the first time, and even with 3 of my friends we had to leave almost immediately, we were all Wendy

I don’t suppose for ease of reference you could do a generalised guide on migrating to the caves and how to get set up?

“Enjoy the never ending *golden shower* “ THE WHAT

Me: Trys to mine Beard: deafeats anchient fulewaver

A ruins video! Im so happy :D

"More meat u have hanging low; the better the juices flow"

What’s the best thing to do when your computer becomes super laggy when caves are enabled?

Seeing how difficult it is to survive down there makes me wonder if getting the gears for WX is even worth it lol

He got me at "Golden Shower" HAHHAHA

I tried but jesus this project has put me in a terrible situation. I took forever to locate ruins and blue mushroom biome. 2 seasons has passed. Im chased by nightmares, low on health, hungry, my cave base got taken over by 3 glow worms. Outside I burn cuz it's summer, nearest rock biome has no more boulders and main base has no flingo. I have about 2 minutes to find a solution to 12 problems lmao!

hey my ruins doesn't seem to have any clockworks,monkeys,slurpers or ancient psuedo science station. what am i supposed to do? dst btw

Do you have any advice for finding the ruins? A friend and I picked the game back up recently and have been playing through Endless, but after what we feel has been pretty thorough searching, haven't seen one.

I usualy bring around 25 blow darts to kill tuings with some range

2 questions. How do you get into the Ruins and also does regular old DS have the Ruins content?

Are you able to gunpowder the science station to still get the loot and not trigger the event?

You make the best guides on dst.

Beard:Don’t forget a backpack Me:or a krampus sack or piggyback(not a good option for the ruins)

What is the mod that shows food details (not how much sanity health or hunger, I already have that one. The one that shows for example how many units of veggie a carrot is)?

Hey guys I have a question are thier multiple ruin sections in your world or just one cause my world generation is quiet small

The ruins ive found was extremly small and barely had anything in it, it was just a square with a few enemies and a broke craftin station, am i doin something wrong?

Question are these all the foods from farms worth trying to get seeds of from birds. Dragon fruit for obvious reasons. Melons for melon pops for summer. Carrots for a bunny army.

Nice tutorial! Thank you ^^

What if we make clockwork friends (repairing) and move out from cave and come back?

how's the upperworld holding up instead of falling to the ruins if apparently there arent many things holding it up? 7:54 why would i hang around doing no murder? its fun to kill some hallucinations and some damn robots

Ruins enemies are so unsettling something about them is just pretty scary

11:53 Beard's come to Jesus moment

Me and my brother found two mactusks right by each other and they both dropped tam o’ shanters lol

2:12 beard out of context

I was looking down in the ruins and I found three pseudoscience machines and I didn’t see one that was guarded, does it matter if its not the real one? Whats the difference?

how do you pick stuff from those holes with an item in the middle?? Like in this frame 5:18. is on the top center (lightly right) of the screen (near the column)

0:07 at first I thought that statue behind the player with a helmet on was a massive feather

lol endless golden showers for frazzled wires

I'll start try to survive an entire year outside the cave before going un these 😂

So here’s my question Beard: what is with the chest found by the undamaged psudeoscience station?

hope i can play with you beard

what mod do u use to have all the recipes?

u deserve much more subs dude

Can someone tell me what I need to eat in terms of food, sanity and health underground in the caves? I play Maxwell, so Sanity isnt a problem.. I cant wait for a rework on him!

How do I know if it’s a nightmare phase before it’s too late?

I still suck at the game and never done much of anything but it's still fun to play even more so with my siblings

when do we get a cave guide? I will never going to do this before I know how to play the caves

always hire some chad rock lobster 🗿🗿 before exploring the ruin

Me: Watching this video on high volume Beard: 3:28

That Wilson lamp skin goes hard

OMG I found the compact arena ruin biome without having to kill a giant tentacle

Ah never ending GoldenShower 😳

I Just did my first ruinous Rush with a random person (I was Wx-78, he overpowered when there 2 and the gears the nightmare clocks drop super useful)

How do you handle the monkey mobs?

challenge: hammer the pseudoscience station at once w/ friends, and (have some people) live to tell the tale. please tell me of your suffering.

Can we bring our newfound robotic friends above ground? I'd love to have one as a pet and adventuring companion. Also, i appreciate your insight, Beard. Thank you. ^_^

How do you find the ruins?

They need to update the map nd which you know which biome your in as you walk into them nd a better way of locating other players

I like when you say pierogi.

"Enjoy the never ending golden shower"... *visibly disgusted* D:

one time i got a tom o shanter and a tooth first try from a mactusk

Greed is such a dangerous Sin

I entered ruins once as wigfrid, only got along 1 meat stew, i starved and got crazy from monkeys both ingame and in reality whit my stuff getting robbed

Hey Beard, Just killed Deerclops for the first time and didn't die so I thought i'd mention this :D Me and my friend went into the ruins(first time going there) and we almost got steamrolled by splumonkeys Thanks for the guide, Beard!

*me in the video: Eat the gears!

Hey at one point can you make a video about what to do after setting up base? Yes I know I'm posting this on a ruins guide. I'm a noob.
