Usagibro Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I've been noticing a few people have been having trouble with the new dragonfly so I have been thinking of ways to deal with him and I think I found a way! Below you will find a guide to deal with the Dragonfly. http://i.imgur.com/34sPMbw.jpg First you need to find the dragonfly and put him to sleep. (preferably in an open area) http://i.imgur.com/pyBIeeZ.jpg Then you need to build a stone wall around him with a hole big enough to fit yourself through but not the dragonfly. When you are done building your wall give him a smack to wake him up. He might try to destroy the walls but hit him enough times and he will stop and focus on you again. http://i.imgur.com/svJm8By.jpg Now kite the Dragonfly, it can be a bit tricky but I manage to get 5-6 hits on him with enough time to dodge his swipes. http://i.imgur.com/1d8NFt0.jpg After awhile of kiting the Dragonfly he will try to go to the magma pools to spawn Lavae, but being trapped behind the walls he cannot spawn them making it so that you don't have to deal with the Lavae. The Dragonfly will never stop trying to get to the lava pools and will accept all the hits you give and will never fight back, you can even get pretty close to him (as pictured above) and he still wont do anything. And after that just keep on hitting him until he dies simple as that! It will still take ages to defeat him but it's better than dealing with all those Lavae!

DarkXero Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 And now Seth will read this and then the dragonfly will be able to fly over the walls. Or gain a collision callback for walls, to work them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ailailou Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Oh, everybody should know by now that the best strategy is to put rabbit traps near the lava pools to catch the Larvaes and just throw a couple of waterballons at the dragonfly. Piece of cake my friends, piece of cake! /jk Nice strategy, and with the panflute being so easy to obtain, the dragonfly is a 100% easy kill. While I was watching ClownBaby's stream a couple of days ago, during his first engagement with the dragonfly I was thinking how Wickerbottom's tentacle book would come in handy by spawning a bunch oh them near the lava pools.

Vaculity Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 This video is good : Also a gr8 channelThis one only shows how to kill a regular dragonfly. That one actually was talking about the one that spawns around the magma pool (which I still have no idea of its prefab name..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkXero Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 @rezecib, yes. Also, for everybody else, you can't stunlock the dragonfly with the ice staff anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadenVanadium Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 The dragonfly in DST is so ridiculously hard to kill, since it auto-targets the player, and moves faster than the ordinary player, and is able to hit you even if you're running away constantly. I fail to see how it's possible to kill without the panflute, gunpowder, and blowdarts, tbh. Just having it see you, even without knowing you're near its area is a death sentence.

JadenVanadium Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Sorry for necro, but the thread is still relevant.It can be refreshing how difficult Don't Starve can be, but cheap difficulty like this kinda sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyD Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Stay on topic please. Also as long as the posts are relevant and on point it isn't a problem how old the thread is. (Deliberately necroing as a hobby isnt recommended) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
