Best way to restore sanity early?


Recommended Posts

The "ideal" is to learn how to kill the sanity monsters and use them to regain sanity while getting some nightmare fuel, but if you don't care about what the ideal is and would rather chillax while playing you can use cooked green mushrooms to regain 15 sanity and lose 1 health (the green mushrooms come out at dusk, you can remove them with a shovel to get a extra one but that would mean REMOVING the spawn so do it as you will) and/or sleep using a tent or a bed roll (keep in mind that your hunger depletes faster while you sleep and that Wickerbottom can't sleep). Those are the easiest ways that I can think to regain sanity, if you can survive long enough maybe you'll be able to find Mac Tusk in the winter, which drops the hat "Tam o' Shanter" that makes easier managing your sanity and the "Walrus Tusk" which can be used to make a "Walking cane" that makes you walk faster.

Green shrooms tho they're often spread out and dont have a map icon so hard to find. Cactus flesh is much easier to farm and gives same sanity + hunger + hp when cooked. Also i often destroy the first few T1 spider dens i find to make a Top hat as soon as u make science machine. those are the three early sanity sources i think: shrooms green/blue, cacti and top hat.

Some characters also have unique ways to quickly restore sanity: Woodie can just stockpile pinecones or birchnuts then plant them when you need fast sanity (5 sanity each) Willow can just stay near fires or burning items, the more items burning at the same time the more sanity gained (its best to drop them one by one, other than in stacks).

Wigfrid is the only character the mushrooms and cactii suggestions wont work with, for her, in the early game its either sleeping or killing stuff (I recommend killing spiders).

Pick flowers and make the flower hat, it's not the fastest but maybe the easiest. Each flower picked restores your sanity by 5 if I remember correctly.

you are right however i wouldnt consider that a good method of gaining sanity because flowers arent renewable and butterflies spawn from them

Fastest way to get sanity is sleeping, preferably in a tent to get healed too but if you need sanity only and have many grass to spare, you should just make a straw roll and sleep in it for a quarter of a day, you'll gain all the sanity back, just have a crock pot dish ready to bring your hunger back up

Oof, then the solution is easy, go the Celestial Portal with a Moon idol and change into Winona and then sleep.

Though if you for some unimaginable reason persist on playing as the old lady my suggestion would be going to the nearest desert with an armor item or two. Both Dragonfly and Antlion deserts will do; pick all the cacti while wearing armor, more the merrier. Cook them and eat them. I find the cacti fleshes to be a more reliable and sustainable edible for restoring sanity than the mushrooms in the overworld. One will restore 15 sanity alongside 15 hunger and 1 health
