jtellez14 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Is it just for fun? I know that if you haunt a mob, it seems to disorient it (especially if it's chasing someone). I also know that you can sometimes start fires (which is supposed to be a drawback, right?) Are there any other benefits/features of haunting? edit- Not saying I want to get rid of it or anything - on the contrary, I would like to see more to do with it!

Pyromailmann Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Well, Haunting can grow crops. Turn pigs into werepigs. A bunch of other things. And unfortunately it can burn flammable objects. Yes, I'm referencing W's butterfly situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rezecib Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Wiki says that ghosts need to haunt in order to stay (kind of) alive. That used to be the case during the alpha, but for beta ghosts have just stayed alive indefinitely, and haunting does all sorts of stuff, depending on what you haunt.

Paradoxical Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'd suggest haunting all sorts of things and seeing what happens! Just... maybe away from the base. Flaming butterflies and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenglacier Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 If you use your haunting abilities as a ghost and colaborate with a friend, you both can get lots of meat for later. For example haunting rabbit holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quaper Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 My favorite thing to do while haunting is to go and haunt alot of graves. When you do that it will often spawn another ghost and they will follow you and you can make a ghost army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quaper Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Also if you haunt a spider den that is pretty close to another spider den then the spiders that were in the den that you haunted will go and attack the spiders in the second den.

Yes, I'm referencing W's butterfly situation. <foams at mouth> Alternatively, it can help you if you're underprepared for ol' Clops (or you're just too laggy to fight him properly) if you haunt enough trees you might get your very own Treeguard protector. The butterfly is an example of being careful where you haunt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XirmiX Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 It's for da spooks My favorite thing to do while haunting is to go and haunt alot of graves. When you do that it will often spawn another ghost and they will follow you and you can make a ghost army.The problem with this is that you're stuck with the ghosts for eternity unless they get killed by something, aggroed by something else etc.Also why do the generic ghosts in DST have Wigfrid helmet horns on them? Dafaq? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario384 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Wigfrid was their original killer in DST. They're merely the result of her traveling through the land. Don't Starve Together confirmed to be a graveyard for everything Wigfrid kills. I guess she didn't like anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dafaq?I have gotten rid of them before. I just went really far away from them and when I tried to find them again they never came back. Another thing I found out the other day is that if you haunt a yellow bee it can turn into a red bee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
