156,500 / 68 = 2302 dark sword swings, dark swords have 100 uses, so that's a little over 23 dark swords, not 231.

However, he also takes 5x damage (if I'm reading that correctly) while "channeling" (not sure what this looks like yet). But it looks like attacking can also interrupt the channeling, but maybe if you delay attacks it'll return to channeling.

Oh yeah, whoops. That's some real bad maths. I guess that's a little better, but not much.

This "channeling" business sounds interesting though.

The Toadstool pushes away items like gunpowder with his hops, so that's out of the question.

Can confirm 2,250 gun powder did no good. Well it broke the server for quite some time. Heh.

You chose... wisely! I love you now.

I love that series with a burning passion. I loved fighting the raid bosses in that game, to the point where I was soloing most of them using Krieg on OP8.

But that was a combat-focused game, which is why it's so weird to me to have Raid Bosses in a game like Don't Starve, which focuses on Survival and Crafting.

Imagine if Minecraft had a raid boss? It just doesn't feel like it would mesh well.

Eh, I would hesitate to call The Wither a "Raid" Boss. Sure, it's definitely a Boss, just like the Dragon, but you don't need a half-dozen people to take it down. A Decent player with decent tools and armor can take down the Wither pretty easily.

You know, if Don't Starve Shipwrecked Together ever becomes a thing, The Toadstool could also fit in as a boss there, too! Just have a mushroomy island somewhere out in the ocean that it spawns on. It's frogginess fits the tropical motif in a sense.

Same with putting the Dragonfly in the Volcano. They're both "Stationary" bosses that you have to go to, so it could be a neat addition.

I Killed the frog it drops frog legs some pork and green fungus pretty sure the blueprint is a rare drop killed it with 750 gunpowder and started spamming Pan flute like if it was nothing 

Won't killing it with gunpowder turn any non-food item like Blueprints into Ashes?

It sings and sounds like a real bird, I guess. When killed, it inflates and explodes

Of all the Shrek references they could have used, of course it's the one scene in all the movies I hate to watch. Oh well.

Gunpowder not working? PAN FLUTE TO THE RESCUE! (Can I call it now? This guy is going to become immune to sleep.)

 

Despite my griping, I'm still loving the concepts in this update! A boss that can't be taken solo? A neat infinite light source? Retroactive features?

That last one is a big one, actually. There is no true need for the devs to go out of their way to cater to us with established worlds for a beta. And yet, they're trying anyways. That's going above and beyond. I really do appreciate that.

UPDATE: Not 100% confirmed, but the amount of Mushtrees that spawn may be connected to when the Toadstool flees. The more Mushtrees there are, the more likely the boss might be able to flee. This may give players a reason to give Woodie a chance at this boss.

Nope, it's just on a 5 minute timer that starts when he spawns. I took about 20 minutes looking through the code trying to figure out if there's any way to interrupt it, but didn't find anything. So it looks like you really just need to kill it in that 5-minute window, which seems quite difficult for player counts of 4-6.

Oh geez, thanks for the heads up. 5 minutes? That seems a bit too small of a window to kill him in.

Did anyone know about the difference between mushlight and glowcap except you can't put spore into a mushlight? And what is the point of putting 4 light bulb instead of 1 ?

Also, I don't know what to put into scaled furnace. (Tried some gems, woods, nightmare fuel...)

It seems they've been quite thorough in their attempts to quash any solo strategies you might use against the toad. Minions are handily destroyed. You can't even stack fire damage because toadstool's hops push all items away from itself.

Sooo how about them solo speedrun strats... guess some sort of cheese strat needs to be figured out.

There's always hordes of Broken Clockworks, Rock Lobsters, and Bunnymen that can be hired to fight at your side. Being underground kind of limits your options.

Umm... ok. I tried mucking around and testing all the things in the new update.

The scarecrow , yes, turns crows into canaries. The lightning dart which you can craft with reeds, canary feather, and gold is basically a more powerful normal dart. Also if the enemies are wet it deals double damage, I think. [no cool lightining effect though :(]

The scaled furnace produces a small ray of light and an enormous amount of heat. Ooops lol forgot to test if it could cook.

The green furnace, 'Salad Furnace' does the exact same thing as the scaled furnace except its... green. green is not a creative color...

I'm wearing a green mushroom hat, and you can see a 'spore' just under the silk. the hat seems to randomly spawn spores which 'rot' after a short time and produce a fair amount of light, they move around kinda randomly.
