Spyro1 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 So I created a new world because my old one got over populated with rock lobsters and in my new world I am on day 280 and not once have I found a deerclops. Every winter I stock up on honey and spend the entire winter running around the map trying to find him but with no luck. Is it possible this is some kind of bug or is deerclops just extremely rare to find. I have never edited any of the world settings so the frequency of deerclops attacks is at default so I just cant figure out how to find him. Or am I doing something wrong? Reason why I so badly want deerclops is I have never built a houndius shootius. I have the ancient guardians horn but just cant find a deerclops. anyone got any ideas as to what is going on?

You'll hear breathing and then it will spawn just off-screen to attack you.

GalloViking Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Based on my own Don't Starve experience, I'd say giants spawn rate is 75% each season. You have no way to force a giant to spawn, so the only thing you can do is to wait for it.

If you do, that's just bad luck. But if you never find giants, it might be a bug of some sorts.

GalloViking Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Ah, sorry, pal. I don't know how it works on PS4. Maybe the Deerclops is always here in winter, but he just never comes to you. If you look everywhere, I'm sure you'll find him.

Sedivy Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 He goes for the structures, so build a pig house nearby or something and he should show up to try and smash it. I've had him show up at night in winter when I couldn't really leave the fire, just to wreak havoc on nearby villages and never touch me (though the heavy breathing is disturbing ). If it's during the day or dusk, run over, interrupt the smash fest by attacking and then kiting.

XirmiX Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 It's 50% chance or something. I've had Deerclops 3 times on my save, a Dragonfly and a Goose, no beargers have spawned yet. I have three touchstones left (stupidest death of a pro ever: I died from a Spider queen). The only time I used console was to remove the Rocklobsters from my world. It's quite easy actually.

The pengull icons shows up on my world map but there literally have never been any after my first winter.

Kenjin Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I still have games without RoG and I've seen deerclops only once in one game (had like 10/15 games, 1 with 360 days and another with 200) I think without RoG spawn rate of deerclops might be like... 10%?

XirmiX Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Yeah, Deefclops for Vanilla might have lower rate. Played a lot of Vanilla during Winter, only once I got a deerclops which I didn't even bother to encounter (yes, I was a sissy with him back then).

Spyro1 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Lol funniest thing ever just happened. So Im on my 3rd or 4th last day of winter and I hear a deep groaning sound followed by my character commenting on it. So I realise deerclops finally spawned. So I try frantically searching for him running around the map like a mad man trying to find him with no luck.

If you run around, chances are you'll run in the wrong direction and miss him. If you want to be sure not to miss him, build a fire pit and wait by it when you get the warning, as he'll most likely come over to smash it (just try not to be near your base at the time, if you don't want that smashed too).

Minik435 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It is not a really bad thing, that he was killed. You now have some things to eat! XDAt my friend's PS4 he appeared at every winter. IDK why at your currently so late. Maybe he have soooo low rate to spawn? (That means my friend have bigger luck than me 0.0 )By the way Deerclops is not so important. I hate him. He killed my Willow at day #480 (or somwhere about this) in DS-B. He only gives this crap eye that is useless on PS4 for me. I am finding more mandrakes in... summer? (I really forgot, how it is at PS4... Now RoG is the best.)But that's just my way of thinking and if you though other things about that, I'll calm down.
