SepOwnage Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hi guys, I'm new to don't starve and I was having winter for the first time. I was on day 34 and I had my food and fire settled very well, everything was good. But then the deerclops came so I ran away. When I came back, he destroyed a chest and a science machine. So I rebuilt it but the next day the deerclops came around again and again.. Just destroyed everything in my camp. I'm by far not strong enough to fight him.. How do I survive next time?

Silentdarkness1 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 It spawns sometimes, randomly, during winter. You're just having bad luck. You need to be ready for Deerclops in these scenarios. Try to get as many pig houses as you can. At the least, it'll keep Deerclops busy for awhile, and he shouldn't proactively go after your bases once he's aggro'd on pigs...or maybe not, idk. You definitely need help with such things. Spider nests are another option. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/29735-first-winter-deerclops/#findComment-371403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SepOwnage Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Little side question: If I kill a pig and the village is mad at me, is that permanent or does their anger fade off?

Amkar Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I just have a question... Did they secretly update his spawn chance? Because before the last update, I had only ever had him twice before it, both on the last day of winter, but on the most recent game I played (as so far only after the update) he spawned. Or just coincidence? Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/29735-first-winter-deerclops/#findComment-371411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeoSS69 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I haven't found enough marble in my world :/Oh, then make a bunch of log suits, they auto equip if the first breaks. Marble you can find in the chess biome. It's a little patch of land with som robots guarding it. There's a rhino looking one that charges at you. Use it to destroy anyhing around as it charges blindly. It'll be usefull to get gears, marble and any resource resources nearby.

HoneyHam Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (Hilarious picture above me)I really wish there wasn't a limit to likes. On topic, take him to the frogs. If they fail, take him to beefalo. And depending on what time of day it is, you should also try taking him to pigs/bunnymen.

The Letter W Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I just have a question... Did they secretly update his spawn chance? Because before the last update, I had only ever had him twice before it, both on the last day of winter, but on the most recent game I played (as so far only after the update) he spawned. Or just coincidence?I swear they did because before last month I'd never had him naturally spawn. Now I've been getting them almost every winter.... And they haven't been a problem because my organization leads to my farms being the first thing they come across so he destroys a couple of those and then stomps around passively for the rest of the season.

the truthseeker Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 For those "lucky" enough to get Dearie on their very first winter, you need to take him somewhere else and leave him to find new things. Hit him once, flee, and take him to some other creatures to distract like Pigs tentacles or maybe even Beefalo in heat. Or you could go there and make a ton of logsuits and practice your Boss Monster Kiting techniques as suggested before. It's not suggested to leave him if close to your base when he spawns because he will walk a fixed path. If you do any of this make preparations for mobile warmth and mobile sanity recovery.
