Soloing toadstool

[Cookiemies]

So im going to create a solo dst world but the only problem that i currently have is that i really cant find a way to solo toadstool without wasting huge amounts of expensive items like weatherpains.

Do you guys have any tips on how to solo toadstool without wasting tons of dark swords, weatherpains etc?

[asdrub43l]

Do it as Woodie.

A hambat, a couple log suits, a miner's hat, couple hundred logs so you don't turn. Drop the bat when you get a spore, it's easier done when you're holding Lucy on your mouse slot, so you just have to equip it and right click to drop the bat.

Get blue/green caps, plus pig skin and meat if you need extra security in case you don't drop the bat.

The fight lasts a couple of ingame days, if you're lucky you can get it done very early on.

the problem with solo toadstool is the spam of trees and spores. most time people use the flingo strat.. 4 flingos who freeze him, so you have enough time for the trees and spores. you can use the green gem amulet and staff to not to waste your gears when you are low with them. 

panfluet is also very helpful. wolfgang is probably the best for it, saw it happen with him within 1 1/2 days. 

why do you think dark swords are expensive? you can get nightmare fuels easily in caves from farming monkeys, living logs with a pig-tree farm. 

some people think the flingo strat is cheap, but when i did it it felt nice just to try it out and see how it works. once you have 2 players you don't need to use the flingos anymore. but maybe using a tons of weatherpains will not be a problem anymore since cave items respawn soon, i suppose that includes gears? maybe i'm wrong. 

 

you could also try out to get aaaaalot of bunnys and maybe pigs to help you with him.

nope, they turn scared when toad makes the trees and they die easily.

Now as you mention, if the ruins will now regenerate, it means we can get an unlimited number of Houndius Shootius... Could it solve the problem? As long as one is chopping the trees, these could continue to attack Toadstool.

However, would it worth it? Because Toadstool can spawn at any of the three holes, that means all of them must be guarded by Houndlis Shootiuses, otherwise we've got the same problem. And building enough of them to all three places... well, that sounds really expencive. I wonder if it would worth it, I'm sure there are other more important and more efficient ways to use them.

But still, it could be a solution.

with the green gems stuff it wouldn't be that expensive. not sure if it will work but a nice idea.

You mean creating more Houndius Shootius? Because in that case green gems don't help (as to my best knowledge).

Wolfgang kills him in 3 days after winter rain in caves using only 3 axes, 3 torches and 1 morning star. Need some food too, but not too much. One can use ham bats instead, it will, however, require extra day or two, as well as plenty of meat.

Using ice staves for phase 3 speeds things up for quite a lot.

Also on stream it was said right now that toadstool will be changed to not require 6 people and that kinda stuff.

do it with wolfgang pls and link the video

imo he spams too many trees for that low equipment.

Chop one tree, burn 7 others. You will be forced to deal average of ~70% damage to him(60% most of the time, 80% for a while and 100% pretty much at the start only). But those 3 days you fight him feel p. good. Just like raiding with a good team(1 man army!) in any viable MMORPG.

Btw, if you are going to do it at winter, you might wanna bring star callers staff or salad furnace.

Consider yourself lucky that you can even ask this question.  I think the probably one of the worst nerfs Klei implemented was the Toadstool nerf.  They finally made a WORTHY raid boss and the first thing they did was nerf it into the ground cause everyone whined and complained that the fight was impossible and the boss had too much health.  Much of this complaining I think was born out of the fact that unless you actually went and looked up the code (which is what people did to figure out the fight) there is nothing intuitive in the fight to let you know what was going on.  Yes he 50k hp and you only had 5 mins to beat him but it didn't matter cause there were all these mechanics in the fight that scaled the Toadstool down to a normal fight but like I said NOTHING in the game tuned you into this fact.  So everyone just saw 50k hp and 5 min time limit and whined and cried until Klei changed it which I think was dumb and done WAY too quickly.  The boss wasn't even out for a week before the nerf.

In all honesty I think much of the complaining was BECAUSE you couldn't solo it, nor should you be able to since you know its A RAID BOSS!!!!  But now the Toadstool is a joke.  You don't even need to wear armor to solo it.  It is comparably the easiest boss in all of DST, it just has a monkey wrench mechanic to slow the fight down.  Thats it.  Its a total joke.

There is a bad trend going on in Don't Starve Together and that is making a game which is multiplayer based cater to solo play.  Guys there is a solo game its called Don't Starve and if you want to play solo go play that.  For a multiplayer game I don't think ANY consideration should be given to single player content, there is already a game for that.  People are constantly complaining about things that are in Together that are not in single player and they just don't get the fact that its a DIFFERENT GAME ENTIRELY.  Klei's goal was not to clone Don't Starve and scale it to multiple people, their goal is to make another Don't Starve game that posses everything that everyone loved about Don't Starve and add new and exciting things that can only be achieved and attained by playing T-O-G-E-T-H-E-R. 

In all honesty if you want Together content in  single player Klei has kinda already got you covered.  They made their game easily moddable and encourage players to mod the game as they see fit.  So there make a Mod for Don't Starve that incorporates all the Together content but pleas please please stop asking them to scale a multiplayer game down to single player.   I know thats not what this thread is doing but I see this thread and a lot like them and you're all asking the same thing, how do I do this multiplayer thing in single player.  And its that attitude and play style which has slightly stifled the Together experience.  The Toadstool fight is a GREAT example of this because this thread would be WAAAAAAAY different if the Toadstool had been left the way he was, which was a formidable raid boss with very unlikely chances to solo, essentially cutting that content off from those who play a multiplayer game solo.

Please, don't complain about the most overpowered boss in the game being nerfed

WHAT!?  see people like you are the problem.  Looks like you didn't even read  what I said, and no I aint gonna stop complaining about the BEST boss being nerfed.  Overpowered pfft............let me repeat myself, YOU ALL THOUGHT HE WAS OP CAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING INTUITIVE IN THE FIGHT TO LET YOU KNOW HE SCALES DOWN BUT IN ACTUALITY HE WAS JUST AS POWERFUL AS ANY OTHER BOSS.

[Destros09]

Multiplayer games like this needs to be balanced for multiplayer and single player as not everyone has a group of friends.

also I will go insane if someone says if you want single player play regular don't starve, there is so much more content in together

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯but in my opinion,there both different games and dst is targeted for multiplayer but its doable solo.

There's a reason why it's a multiplayer game. And feel free to go insane, the lack of content in singleplayer is not a reason to screw up with the DST content not being focused mainly on cooperation between multiple people.

[Histekia]

DST is not only a multiplayer game, so you should be able to fight even a raid boss like toadstool alone, what Klei did
But if you do, it should cost you more: Health, time, armor, weapon etc and suprise! it does!

Best Boss????I think what most scared people was, that at the beginning, he had a health of 150k+
I remember back when I played him one day after he was released with 4 other people and the fact that he always runnig off after 5 minutes was crazy, i think at some point, they could have cept it, but it doesnt matter, they changed it and that is the way it is now
" It is comparably the easiest boss in all of DST "

Wait, what did you write? Klei made a game that you ONLY have to play TOGETHER?
Excuse me but why is it then possible to play it alone?
Is it a bug? Does anyone else saw that?
OMG where can I make a bug report, I encounter one and I have beeen using it
Obviously I and a lot of other people where bugusing
I am so shocked right now, someone call the police, I am officially a criminal

[Rellimarual]

Some of us DO play it together, but can only manage that with one other player. I've seen a pair of quite good players take on Toadstool in a Twitch stream and get killed, so I don't think he's *that* easy. I've never been able to play with enough people to attempt it myself.

[Electroely]

Difficulty-wise, I'd say from hardest to easiest would be Bee Queen, Toadstool, Dragonfly, Klaus, Antlion, Deerclops, Bearger and then Goose/Goose.Without any setup, Bee queen is doable with 3 players if there's a Wendy, Toadstool needs at least 4 players unless there's a Woodie (haven't tried with Maxwell yet), Dragonfly is doable with 2 people as long as one of them knows how to dodge enraged Dragonfly until it cools down and the other can kill the lavae and everything after that is doable alone. 

Please keep in mind this is my personal opinion. Feel free to disagree.

[Rellimarual]

Two can do DF if you use the panflute when it enrages as well.

[Cookiemies]

Well i soloed beequeen and Dragonfly with wickerbottoms tentacles so they are pretty easy. 

[Cookiemies]

And antlion can be soloed pretty easy aswell.

The only problem i have atm is with toadstool.

and for Clwnbaby i know you dont like the fact that klei nerfed toadstool but i didnt really need/want your rant on the whole situation...

I only wanted people to tell me a way to solo toadstool with fewer items and recourses.

If there was a bug to cheese it, would you use it?
