Spoilers for a new item below!

So there seem to be a new bone armor like item you can get now, called the celestial crown. The only way to get it is killing the tier 3 celestial champion, which basically means you need every altar assembled and other miscellaneous tasks. Needless to say, this is not cheap and is basically an endgame thing!

• The crown is impossible to break. And when I mean impossible, I mean it doesn't have durability.
• The item by default provides 10 sanity per minute (for comparison, a tam is 6.7, and a top hat is 3.3)
• When above 85% sanity, the crown will start hovering over a players head. This gives you 2 unique perks:
  • The item will start glowing, with a radius stronger then a miner hat. As long as you are above the sanity threshold, it will never cease to stop glowing, and combined with it's eternal durability + natural sanity regen means you have an infinite light headpiece in optimal conditions.
  • Hitting any enemy with any item equipped will cause a gestalt to appear and attack the enemy you hit. The damage is 42.5 by default, and seems to not be impacted by character modifiers (could be wrong, though). This saps 1 sanity per use, and will take you below the threshold if you are not careful, leaving you in darkness if you are using it for light.

Overall, it's a very unique item! I can see myself using it for sure, especially as a good sanity piece. I'm happy for new toys to use (and maybe potentially even more to come!)

 

 

Now that's an endgame item all right... can replace Tam completely as it gives a higher sanity boost and is unbreakable... also gives off light as long as you are high sanity and has a combat effect that allows you to shoot out gestalts.. I need one asap

Well, it is in Portuguese, but if you want to see what the boss does, you can watch here
 

 

That battle looks crazy... doesn't seem like it has much health though?

First stage has 12000

Second stage has something between 13000 and 20000 (the variables in the codes say "current health 13000" and "maxhealth 20000"

And the last stage has something between 14000 and 22500

The Radiance from Hollow Knight?

Could be a wagstaff item but makes me also think of Wickerbottom and Winona.

Here's my take on the new content:

Spoiler

I wanted to experience the new content without spoilers so I went in blind to many things. Had a few issues but after re-logging I got to fight the boss. Of which I say....hoo boy, good luck taking that thing down. I thought the first phase was pretty easy all things considered, but during the second phase (also nice touch on the designs, I like how each phase is designed after the respective altar) I had to turn on godmode to beat the thing (I just wanted to see what happens). Really challenging and a good rival to the fuelweaver in terms of difficulty overall. I only wish Helicalpuma were able to see this; I think he would've loved fighting this boss. As for the inclusion of Wagstaff, I am a bit torn on it personally. On one hand I'm on the Wagstaff hype train for being in DST, but on the other hand I feel like his role is pretty brief in the long-run. He appears to give the player blueprints, starts an interactive event, and shows up after you beat the champion to collect something. At minimum I would personally like to see more dialogue and/or a more fleshed out sequence of him taking something from the defeated boss (via machine or whatever else, right now he just seems to do the picking animation), and at most I would love to see him play a role in the fight itself. I certainly hope he returns at a later point.

One thing's for sure though, I'll never get a skin for that crown. Not because I think it's bad or anything, but because I don't think I could get through all those fights leading up to it in one piece lol. Nice job Klei, it's really cool.

Oh boy time for more grinding.

Since when was Don't Starve a Korean MMO?

What part of this is grinding?

A new boss called Celestial Champion with 4 stages has been introduced

Is it three of four? I've only seen and heard about three stages, potentially in line with the three altars. What is the 4th stage like

[lakhnish]

I killed the boss via melee as Wilson if you're curious. I used commands to give myself stuff in a new world after streaming it in a world I already had.

Shouldn't take away from the kiting pattern of the fight. If anything, I feel like I can refine it a lot more, but it's a late update my time and I need to sleep.

Dear god. An endgame item that replaces at least two or three other items.  Very cool design as well! Unfortunately thought it seems as though I'll never be able to actual get one myself through legitimate means because oh my this new boss seems hard

Doing the Hermit Crabs quests, grinding for the materials for Wagstaff, doing all the fetch quests and nonsense time wasting tasks that remind me of a boring MMO.

There are so many menial little tasks that have strayed so far away from the core of the game.

[_Chaos_]

IMO the best armor for fighting this boss is Night Armor [boss has +400 sanity aura]

[ADM]

That's looks all WAY TOO MUCH interesting !

Tell me about it, I crashed to sleep and when I woke up, Instant noodles posted a ton of animated assets that I felt whiplash from waking up.

None of that is grinding. What do you think grinding means, "Playing the game"?

Added the two big offending overlays from this update to my overlays disabling mod if anyone else wants to turn it off client-side.  Still all pick and choose with the mod config.

The effect makes me queasy looking at it for too long.  I think it's too fast and fish-eye lens is what's getting me.

[HeatAndRun]

After browsing a few communities I'm frankly quite surprised how many people doesn't know who is Wagstaff.

[Mthestarver20]

IS this an actual ROT update?

Wait is this the big ROT update they were working on?Isnt this the summer solistice thing as its an event?
