Krampus needs to be MUCH stronger!

[NikMik]

Krampus should be a punishment for killing innocent creatures, right? To me, he's barely even inconvenient. I almost never have him appear and when I do, it's a quick kill and some extra coal. And the delay between stealing items is ridiculous!

 

He should run around, stealing anything in sight - not steal one thing, stand in one spot for about half a minute, lick the air, steal one thing, and repeat.

 

He should also have much higher health and deal more damage! I have to put more effort into killing Tallbirds than I do killing Krampus.

 

Make him a boss monster, or at least just a really strong regular monster! I love the idea of being punished for doing bad deeds - but the punishment should actually, you know, be a punishment?

[DeadpanQuinkan]

I remember this being talked about before and I still agree.  The real ludicrous thing is the slim chance of getting an amazing item from him.  Considering everything now, I'm sure he's meant to be the joke of the game.

[DangWoodchuck]

I remember making a topic like this, and yeah, Krampus MUST be buffed! You know, call me an idiot, but I just noticed that almost everything you do in Don't Starve may lead to disasters. Chop too many trees, BAM! Treeguard! Kill too many beefaloes, BAM! Krampus! Make a campfire in the woods and (mostly), BAM! Forest Fire! Pretty much, this game is all about consequences, a KARMA game, if you will...

[NikMik]

 Kill too many beefaloes, BAM! Krampus!

 

And watch said Krampus stand around for a minute licking the air and then finally jump into his sack after stealing 2 seeds that were dropped by birds? Or kill him and get his sack after the first try (whoo, lucky me!)?

 You got a very good point on how lazy Krampus is, just standing there and all. He MUST be a boss!

And I bet when he goes back to his lair, he thinks to himself: "Ha-ha! I sure showed him! I'll bet he's really upset about these random seeds he probably didn't realize even existed!"

All hope is lost. Krampus is destined to be a generic enemy

He should throw rabbits at you.

And beefalo, if you've been really bad.

Deerclops, too.

I agree Krampus should be stronger, but not as strong as a boss. We have 4 bosses already, and having another boss would not be very good, in my opinion.

[TeoSS69]

 but not as strong as a boss.

I disagree. Except for maybe Deerclops, all bosses are avoidable. It would be great to finally have a boss that hinders your survival and you can't avoid.

Well, I think (And I know other people think this) that the Deerclops is like the "final" boss. Hard to kill, comes in winter, destroys your stuff. We have enough bosses, even if they can be avoided.

Spider queen and the optimus pine aren't really considered bosses, since they can commonly appear. Also the Minotaur is in the ruins and most people don't even go into the caves.

Still, I do believe Krampus needs a major buff, but not as strong as like the deerclops.

Why not? He's supposed to punish the player. If you can avoid him, you don't have to fight him. Don't heed the hissing and continue killing innocent things, and then you have to suffer. Makes sense to me.

 

And if you're good at kiting, how strong they are really just affects how much time it takes to kill them. Like how you can easily get about 5 hits on the Treeguard before having to run back to avoid his hit.

[Rosten]

Well Mr. Tiddles

You're a pretty good modder,

lets see what a buffed up krampus would look like, eh?

I'll do it later, maybe. But I've got a busy day today! I mean look at my schedule:

Play video games

Go out to buy potato chips, coke, and maybe shoes

Eat lunch

Play video games

Eat dinner

Play video games

Go to sleep

While I did get hat wrong, I won't be making the mod at like 3am. That's my youtube time. Maybe after lunch, in a few days.

   Would you rather a stronger Krampus mod and William 2 be delayed about 2 minutes, or William 2 and then Stronger Krampus after that?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I've already started. Actually, I've already made it so he'll steal more things and with less delay (deafult was 10, I set it to 2), now I just have to make him tougher and give a nice ribbon.

Well he shouldn't be avoidable, but he shouldn't be a major boss. You should have to fight him for your stuff, and he should be tough, but there should only be one huge boss in the game, and it should stay like that.

Might want to buff up the sack chance also, to say 5%
