MadMatt Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 So I was playing don't starve recently and had just gotten wigfrid! I played a couple hours and found that she was incredibly strong and thought, what would happen if you took her, took away her helmet, battle spear, and special abilities? So I have a challenge that I would love to try myself and for you to try! No Coward Challenge: -Cannot use any weapon better than spear (And yes, weapons that come with downsides such as the ham bat doing more damage but being able to degrade even when not used and spoil is equal with spear in my book, only exceptions is the dark sword.) -You can make any armor you want but armor that is not grass or wood must be crafted using more materials. Let me explain, you can craft scalemail armor but you need the materials to create it but you also need extra materials, these materials will not be used up but will include kinda hard to hard to get items, just to make it easy on you. So here is the list: Night Armour: Must get the required materials and 1 deerclops eye and 10 gold to craft Marble Suit: Required Materials and 10 monster meat/spider glands (you may NOT do 5 monster meat or 5 glands and etc) Snurtle Shell Armour: You may kill snurtles for it but you must have chester with you (bit weird but still) The Thulecite Suit: Required Materials and 5 purple gems, 3 red gems, and 6 blue gems, 20 gold Scalemail: Required Materials and a tentacle spike (Also, I won't be involving SW into this since I have not played it myself, but feel free to suggest a recipe for it) The Shelmet: Must have 1 thick fur and purple gem on hand The Thulecite Crown: Must have deerclops eye, thick fur, scalemail armour and 2 down feathers -Must fight enemies head on, NO KITING! -Must attack/provoke any hostile creatures (Only if you have a weapon to defend yourself) -No Wigfrid, Wolfgang, or Maxwell -Must fight solo -Cannot use traps or other indirect ways of dealing damage to enemies -Must only eat meat This is only my first version of this challenge so I may add changes or tweak it from time to time to make it harder or fix an exploit. Have fun! Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/66757-no-coward-challenge/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTraditionalGentleman Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think anyone who takes this challenge will be long for the world. Then again though, excellent job at speeding up natural selection!

MadMatt Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 While it isn't really a challenge to get to lots of days, it is more so like a challenge like lets say you cannot eat anything. It isn't supposed to be a challenge about just having a couple assets taken away from you. It is mostly just choosing the right character that can be beefy and tank most enemies. If you get to day 10 I myself will be impressed. One tactic I have used before is creating only an axe or pickaxe when needed and using it all up before going to explore but still getting materials. So in a way you can still cheese it out by being a coward and thinking ahead but it still is meant just to be an unfairly hard challenge that you aren't supposed to get far in. I do suggest that wx-87 is probably the best character for this. Sure he starts with only 100 health but if you get enough gears then this challenge is no sweat. And I do see what you mean by only having bad gear so I will be changing that to be more balanced.
