What is the Funniest or Most Unexpected Way You Have Died?


Recommended Posts

I am just curious if anyone else has some funny story about how they have died in DS, DS ROG, DST? Or maybe it was just completely unexpected, death can come from things you least expect. 

 

Personally the funniest most unexpected way I have died was before ROG. I was trying to summon Krampus and so I had traps set up everywhere trying to catch rabbits. I decided to go check all my traps during a thunder storm (probably not the best idea) I headed out behind my base, lifting traps obtaining all the rabbits.  

 

I was saving them alive and filling up my inventory slots. I ran out of space and when I opened the trap the rabbit escaped. I was like oh darn I lost one, just as he started running lighting struck the rabbit! He was on fire! His little furry body became a running ball of flames, to which I started laughing my butt off. Such a spectacle it was watching him run all over while on fire.

 

"Stupid rabbit, thats what you get." Just as I spoke that sentence in my mind he came running towards me, it happened so fast. He ran right into me and I caught on fire too!  OMG! OMG! I am on fire!!  I was as usual, Maxwell and had one effigy so I died. My flame engulfed body turned into a pile of irony.

well, just this day I was getting some bad lag (I was rendering a YT video in the background). Player movement is apparently the least of the games' problems, but hitpoint loss? that's REAL important, which is balanced. harvested ONE bee box, and got stung to death immediately. Had a touch stone... right there, and the same thing happened. Goodbye, YouTube world.

In a nutshell, I died while hiding in a berry bush hat from hounds.

 

Hounds were about to attack in the middle of night. I usually depend on my pig village to fight off hounds. However, since it was night the pigs were sleeping, so I needed to stall until then. I usually use a berry bush hat to do this. So I used a torch to find the perfect place to set-up a camp fire and hide.

 

The hounds come and cannot find me while I am hiding. All goes well until I realise I forgot to take off the torch. When the torch ran out, my genius character decided it was necessary to unhide and state that, "Oh no! The light is gone!". I then proceeded to get destroyed by the hounds who could now see me.

Yeah that would be embarrassing haha, no one really thinks much about there touch stone locations. I have died when I reswaned at one amongst a herd of Beefalo in heat.

My last death was Day 285 with Wickerbottom,  0 deaths in that world at the time.  Decided to mine a rockylands biome with the Old Bell.  Followed bigfoot a little too closely.

 

An old WX-78 world.  Day 61: find tallbird fort, get killed by tallbird.  Day 62: try to recover stuff from tallbird fort, get killed by tallbird.

 

Adventure: Chapter 1 -- Archipelago with WX.  Night of Day 4.  Heavy rain brings health dangerously low, then the rain turns to frogs.  Get killed by a frog, fully healed and overcharged by lightning, and killed by lightning-fire simultaneously.  Game just hangs there with WX dead with full health.  No return to the survival world.

 

Adventure: Chapter 4 -- King of Winter with Willow.  Day 3, have three of the Things.  Found an abandoned beefalo pen.  Opened the chest, pulled out the gunpowder and fire staff immediately, thought everything was safe.  Sanity was soaring from the burning walls and the cold wasn't a problem anymore.  Didn't notice the trap had spawned more gunpowder at my feet.

Yup, this was me when I first started playing. I didn't look things up on the Wiki, so I had no idea what I was up against... hadn't even survived my first winter yet.

 

I was uncovering Koalefant tracks and he spawned right in the middle of a Tallbird Fort. Naturally they killed him, and I thought because they killed him, they must be carnivores and were going to eat up all my precious meat. I ran in there swearing up a storm, trying to rescue it all and dodge their attacks. Without armor.

 

RIP Wilson.

I had waited too long to put fuel in the fire pit, so I was panicking trying to make and equip a torch and ended up lighting an item in my inventory on fire after I had already taken a hit from Charlie.

Coincidentally, this was also my first death.

I had gotten caught in a fight between Merms and Pigs and gotten the worst of it. I ran away before I could pick up any drops they had left when they died. So there I was, near death, no food, getting wet in the rain, night quickly approaching. I was wondering what I was going to do; in fact, I spoke this out loud to myself: "What in the world am I goi-" 

 

Lightning struck me dead before I could even finish the sentence. I was dumbfounded.
