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


Recommended Posts

Hmm. I've got to admit, I haven't played all that much recently, but I've died a few ways that I can recall off the top of my head.

 

There was this one time in which I had been playing a character for the first time, and it was right after the update in which they had released bush hats. So, I had one on day two and I simply couldn't use it correctly until the time I died- which happened to be the day the hounds showed up. So, I heard the hounds from the distance I was like 'Welp, I haven't prepared for this.' and finally clicked the right side of my mouse to activate the bushhat's power, and I just sat there. I totally thought I could completely skip the whole fight- let's just say I was very wrong and ended up dying. Whoops.

 

The second time? Hmm, its a bit fuzzy now that I think about it, but it was back a long while ago. I kinda killed myself by wandering straight into a spider's area, trying to pick up some of the sticky webbing and the nest's silk after thinking I had cleared the nest the past day. Just like last time, I was very wrong(and on low health) and ended up dying to a spider warrior who happened to be the only spider who still lived there. Umh, welp.

Was chopping trees. All of a sudden spanish inquisition treeguard armies came from nowhere. I believe there was 8, actually....

 

Anyway, I ran back to my base because I had a houndius shootius there. I managed to kill them all. (Dying once)

 

and then I realized my houndius shootius did nothing. Thinking it was a bug, I froze it with my ice staff, thinking it would reset after it thawed.

 

Apparently houndius shootiuses dont like the cold, because it decided to blast me into oblivion a second later. Rip one of my best worlds.

Not a single death but for ease of use I key bound attack and action both to the space key...

 

*lets pick a flower* Attacks pig army and dies

 

*lets pick a light bulb caving* attacks rabbit and dies

 

*lets fish* frog spawns and Wilson attacks frog instead of fishing... frog army... DIES

 

*bug net out trying to get some fireflies* Attacks swamp tentacle... DIIIIEEEESSSS

I had been a curious idiot, and had been exploring my new world. I had found a swamp, and was collecting all kinds of nice goodies. Tentacles, merms and spiders didn't like me. I got hurt bad. So, I run towards the exit of the swamp when the rain gets heavy. BAM, lightning striked. I was at literally one health, no health restoration items, but plenty of stuff to use back at my base. So, I run home, praying for lightning not to hit me a seco- BAM!

Last night I died fighting the Deerclops, didn't know the area of his attack extends behind him.  Woke up at a touch stone, grabbed the stuff I left there, and started to head back to my base.  And then I died.  I couldn't figure out how for a second, and then McTusk walked onto the screen.  I'd been darted from offscreen, and died cuz I didn't have any armor on. 

 

I wasn't too broken up, it was a crappy world.  3 hives in the entire place, no pig king, and I killed that damn walrus 17 times before I got a tusk.

Guess I was lucky then. Time to buy myself a lottery ticket! :razz:

 

Oh, and how about that time where I decided to hunt a koalafant through a spider infested area? I ran back and forth through all the dens, desperately trying to uncover every track. Being hit and hit again, my only bit of healing was a butterfly wing from a tumbleweed. I didn't wear armor, since it was mid winter, and Wilson had just been stupid enough to shave himself when I told him to shave a beefalo (seriously, later I pushed the same left on the d-pad again and it did shave the beefalo). So, after a spider tsunami and an intense battle with koalafant, I ran back home. I realized I had 6 health left. Without that one butterfly wing, I would've rolled over right there. Most unexpected way I didn't die.

Worst death ever. I was so angry that I recorded it in a diary entry for historical purposes.

 

Here is how it happened:

 

It was at the end of Darkness, thinking this would be the first time I finished Adventure Mode.

Had all the pieces needed, but I was falling apart from the journey and going insane from passing the insanity obelisk barrier.

 

There I see it.

The final portal, in all its' glory, surrounded by tier 3 spider nests, spider queens and chess pieces. I was running out of light, going crazy and starving. I desperately set the forest on fire and made a run for the portal. Took a few hits, armour broke, but I figured that if I just managed to place the pieces down in a hurry and go, I'd make it. Managed to put all my pieces in the machine, while fire and spiders crawl around me. I look around, and there's an opening! I click on the portal and Wilson runs toward, was JUST about to leave the world when I'm grilled alive by a wave of electricity. Without armour. Needless to say, I fell to my death.

Luckily for me I had four touchstones activated.
 

Unluckily, I spawned right into the spiders hell where I previously died, and died again before I could make it to the portal.

Then into a swamp without light, where I soon died, without any materials to make light.

Then right between two angry werepigs, who chased me into the dark as Charlie was preparing a shot at me. 

 

Then I was back at start and luckily, this touchstone had some back up equipment, I thought I'd make it back this time -- but here comes a wave of hounds. But no, I couldn't fight them and so I lead them into a biome full of traps on the ground. 

I ran with my torch, dodging traps as the hounds followed after and I managed to lose them. Sighing with relief, I take a step back and snap goes the jolly trap.

 

Next thing I know, I'm standing outside of Maxwell's Door back in Sandbox mode.

Only time I've ever ragequit a game.

 

For the note, I played through Adventure Mode again the next day, and came to Darkness fully prepared. My inventory was full and I was holding a spear when my Miner hat went out and left over a straw hat that I couldn't place down. Struggled to put down my spear or the hat when Charlie decided it's a good time for a surprise attack. And here I thought that nothing could go wrong.

It was in DST. So, I just created a new public server, and immediately 4 people joined. I only kind of knew one of them, we've rubbed shoulders on some other public server the other day. So there we were: a group of brave adventurous strangers, exploring the freshly-created world.

 

Suddenly, we came across Beefalo pen trap. I was playing as Willow, and I've never encountered this trap as her before, so I volunteered to gather the resources from the trap, having naively assumed that she's immune to gunpowder too. The result is predictable - I exploded.

 

But that's not the most embarrassing thing. Oh no. You see, as I died, the night came, all my stuff (including the lighter) burned down, and, for some reason, none of the other players had enough materials to create even a torch, so they spent the night huddled together around my ghost.

 

Luckily, no one got too mad over my incompetence, we just laughed it off.

Your death/ghostliness kind of saved them. It'd be dickish of them to complain. But yeah, sounds like you got a cool group there.

 

BTW your story should also go in that Weird Ways You Survived thread. For the ghost-lamp triple save. ^__^

 

 

Edit: I just realized you didn't actually survive. Haha~ but you saved others and it was a funny way of saving them, so...

Once I was playing in a world as WX-78 and it was the middle of the first summer, I was just lollygagging and not paying much attention to the upcoming winter threat. I decided it was high time I killed a koalefant. I had downloaded a mod called Unique Starting Equipment, which gave WX a boomerang for whatever reason.

 

I was going to use the boomerang to anger the koalefant, so I could then engage with a spear. However, my skills with don't starve were rusty and I had only ever used a boomerang once before in my career in not starving.

 

I think you can guess what happened next.

There was this one time when I had a 2year long game and was having a great town full of pigs and bunnymen with their own individual pen of stonewalls and was planning to put each of the pens with their own bird in birdcages (yeah I have become one with boredom xD) so I decided to go to the swamps to get lots of reeds on the reed trap set piece (where theres a lot of reeds but filled with tentacles around them), and had destroyed all of the tentacles around them beforehand so I freely gathered a lot of reeds. It was dusk that time and without early notice, I forgot to make a torch (left my lantern and miner hat in my base *facepalm*) so I was finished gathering and was going back to my base, I tried to make a torch not knowing that I only have little hp left about 30% without wearing an armor since I have my inventory and backpack full and then next thing I noticed, wwrrrrrggghhh *swish, swash!!*...

RIP Wilson with his magnificent fully grown beard with a bushhat... Byebye PigBunny Village! O -o

You would think that you would have prepared a meat effigy by that point in the game, I mean you're even playing as Wilson.

Some people refuse to make a meat effigy on principle. They think it's cheating.

 

(Not that I agree with them. I just read some people debating it somewhere in forums or wiki comments...)
