Any of the special lures that aren't specific to something like the spork, heavy weighted lure, and stupefying lure.

Which attacks can not be dodged by walking at base movement speed?

I'm curious about the answer on this one, i could only remember

Spoiler

Shadow piece t3 attacks, as you still can dodge bone cage, you still can dodge dfly (unless you count the moving variation of the attack? though you still can stop it with hit stun, for example by getting a minion that will hit stun the boss, or a catapult), bishop and mactusk are dodgeable from far enough, CC p2 spin just requires you to walk away preventively after every 2 non spin attacks etc.

Either way, I figure there's a decent chance that Webber with nurse spiders or Wortox with soul healing can make it work. Maybe Wigfrid too?

I think hunger damage is 1.25 per second? Wormwood's slow recovery options give him 1 health per second, so he only needs to secure an extra 1 health every 4 seconds through healing items or bat bat. Splumonkey or pigs for manure. Toadstool for rot. It's just a matter of having enough time to set up.

Does glommer's goop restore Wormwood's hunger when applied? You'll have to turn it into tree jam if it does.

Of course, one can just cheat the challenge by setting hunger damage to nonlethal.

1. Did you know seafood gumbo exists in DST? What is the recipe for it?

Oh, you ARE really good at it! I don't remember the recipe, unfrortunately, but I've added your question to the main thread so others might answer!

1. The telelocator causes earthquakes, but not sure what you mean with the lazy deserter. I've seen them built there on many servers, and have built them on mine aswell. 

2. I don't know, but I'm guessing nothing will happen, since the moon doesn't affect anything else in the cave either. Not even the pig head's eyes are glowing on full moon. (the ones next to touchstones)

3. No clue, will skip that one.

4. Never heard of that, but my guess would be the chilled amulet. Pretty sure it's not WX's refrigerant circuit, I have been attacked while wearing that a bunch, and nothing else makes sense to me.

5. You die and haunt it, or use the haunt at command for abigail.

6. I don't know for sure, but I would guess they go for the player. The fridge would not be destroyed either way, unless they shoot it with a cannon. 

Thank you, that was a fun little game. ❤️

Thank you for participation!

5. I'm really surprised no one mentioned Warbot in the answers for the question 5

Nice catch! I wouldn't mention him either because it's kinda out of control, but technically it should be correct answer too.

Upd. I see you said "mined" which implies you mean statues from setpiece. Well that means its impossible without cheats in first place because shadow chess setpiece is surface exclusive. And if you mean statues created by player, you need to hammer them, not mine. 

Well It meant to be hammered, thank you for pointing that. I've fixed the question. Had no intention to make quiz confusing.

1. What are ten different ways to lower the player's temperature?
2. Which attacks can not be dodged by walking at base movement speed?
3. Do you know any way to make an enemy combust when it hits you?
4. Is it possible to survive for 70 days without ever restoring your hunger?
5. Is it possible to use any character's power while playing as any other character?

I'll try to answer:

Spoiler

1. chilled amulet, trees shadow, get wet (paddle missclick, melon hat, mosquito sack), eat ice (or meloncicle, aspargaccho, banana coctail), luxury fan, running with whirly fan, polar star (also if it was left in the moonstone), ice crystaleyezer with the eye insterted.

2. Dragonfly, Tier 3 Shadow Rook (don't know if tier 2 also), Shadow Bishop at any tier I believe, CC phase 2 charge (?)... Probably Warbot (never fought it). Can't name more because mostly I have speed boosts. Difficult question.

3. Scailmale armor.

4. This depends. If we say "no preparation", then it'll be hard. You could rely on reviving anyways, I have kinda 2 strats:

1) Winona with her Charly revival - farm healing and you have an option to die-revive every day. 

2) with preps: amass lifegiving amulets or (saw it on youtube, haven't tried) be a webber, farm nurse spiders, make them infinitely attack smth for healing

5. There're multiple occurencies: Maxwell reads Wicker books, Wurt reads Wicker's tentacles, Winona's catapults and spotlight can be used by others, Maxwell shadow bookcase can be reused, Wurt's masks, Walter tent/ butterfly heals/campfire/dogfood, Wigfrid weapons/armor, Wormwood armor, Woodie craftables (helmet and walking one)... Ah also Warly's dishes, Wes baloons.

 

Added your questions to the initial post, hope you won't mind!

I guess Woodie by spamming idols can keep going for as long as needed for as long as you have the perk to not go to 0 hunger when de-transforming? Not sure, tbh.

but Woodie eats them

the answer is

The stupefying can catch all kinds of fish, regardless of time, season, weather or type of fish/weight. The fork cannot catch seasonal fish.

No bait I consider to be the cheapest.

No bait potentially comes with a huge opportunity cost. In the time you wait for 1 to bite on no bait you could have caught ~10+ with one of the reusable lures. There is also a limited time frame between dusk and night to catch them, so if you are not in a pinch and going for quantity it's better with something more attractive.

The spork is a universal (time of day) spoon. It does not catch small "plant-based" fish (Fallounder, Bloomfin) but does work on others (Ice Bream, Scorching Sunfish).

Can it catch fresh water fish and eel?

The answer is "none" bait.  Nothing as bait still have low bite rate on ocean fishes, but all of them are catchable.

And since fresh water use nothing as bait, you dont really have other options.

I'm just trying to bait people into incorrectly saying you can't dodge Bee Queen's attacks, honestly. I didn't think of a list when I wrote it.

trees shadow

Trees give insulation from the heat, they don't actually lower your temperature. But your list does have a few things I didn't initially think of. Off the top of my head I thought of 11 different ways to lower your temperature and with your list included that's now up to 14.

well the fresh water fishing rod is another whole item that intuitively doesn't use any baits/lures. And with nothing as bait you take more time than the hunger/value the fish can provide.

(why is fishing so complicated and worthless klei not everyone wants to spend a year to set up as wurt)

Trees do lower your temperature actually, if you go under a tree on like 4th day of summer, overheating, you'll stop overheating after going under the tree, meaning it lowered your temperature
