Don’t Starve Together Beginner’s Guide: The Caves and Its Creatures

[@guilhermemartins2606]

I love these guides, even as an experienced player. It's all sensible advice; not things like "if you're not insane all the time, and haven't found the Ruins by day 3, you're playing the game wrong."

[@Jagger_]

i know who you were implying i think,

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVENT SET UP A RABBIT FARM AND PIG FARM AND SPIDER FARM AND TALLBIRD FARM BY DAY 10

Though this is one of the things I love about playing DST, not the strong opinions necessarily but how many ways there are to play the game and be successful

[@greybeard804]

@@lilacs_echoing I pick 40 flowers for rot on day one, if possible. Some of these people would hate me!!

[@deepmainak]

This is quite possibly one of the best guides ( series of guides ) for DST. It's mellow, to the point, isn't dramatic or flashy and has a great sense of pace and progression unlike other guides which just show you crafts you can do one after the other without context. Well done.

[@peoponi]

I think this video made me a little more comfortable to try get into the caves :D

[@greybeard804]

Did ya make it? Caves are fun!

[@LouDaTrojan]

Out of my 800 hours, i've only spent maybe 50 hours in the caves. Thanks for the guide mate

[@EpsiIqn]

People who dislike this video have caves disabled on their servers and refuse to enable them, no matter how much you beg.

[@shengwu9077]

welp its their money :P

[@JetInAJar]

Wait, why the hell do people disable caves? How did I not notice this?

[@cosmicpotato3849]

@@JetInAJar if you don’t have a really good computer, disabling caves helps a lot since caves are a “separate server” and put more strain on your computer to load

[@oya0ya]

playing dst with friends and went down to the cave to escape summer. turns out we were down there for so long, we spent almost an entire year down there so when we finally went back to the surface, it was summer again LOL

[@algonz7388]

this is our first time my group has made it through first winter and we wanted to start prepping for summer! This video has helped us get more confident about trying the summer cave tactic! Thanks!

[@DemonRebuilt]

As someone who used to spend every summer in the caves, I'm very glad to hear it. Good luck!

[@unfriendly75k31]

Did you survive summer?

[@wraithofradiation2977]

I just realized that the star-sky and hutch is a reference to the show (and one of my favorites) Starsky and Hutch

[@JazzysGames]

Great guide! I really like your approach of choosing the information that you find immediately practical for survival strategy. Can't wait to hear about the ruins!

[@johnmillay6790]

Hey jazzy :)

[@Kunnoc]

The caves are like a high risk high reward and An offer at the same time High risk high reward can mean the ruins And an offer is exchanging little bit of sanity for a boost of resources such as grass and twigs or lightbulbs From my experience there's a some sort of set piece where the grass and twigs are clumped together giving you a boost in resources When playing with my friends I got a lantern on day 1 while my friends are still gathering resources to make a torch

[@voltolosalr]

You can only get beard hair and monster meat drops if the bunny you befriend is the one that gets the killing blow or it dies while your insane, you can still get the regular drops.

[@robertcasillas5762]

Hey man. You’re a rockstar. Thank you for all of your videos. Love this game and I appreciate all that you do.

[@winglessangel]

i've only been playing for almost a month as wendy (she's super beginner friendly thats why i love her) but lately i'm getting bored on maining her and i took interest for willow. i realized that most of willow's materials for her abilities forces u to dive in the caves. i hate caves sm cause it lowkey scares me 😭 and i rlly wanna go out of my bubble for dst since i pretty much know everything on the surface now. thank u for the cave guide !!

Hope you are enjoying your day and thanks for the great content 😀

[@merefailninja953]

Nice thing to know about bunny men a clever disguise from wurt can let Webber or wartox players hang out and even befriend them just don't take it off or hold meat in your inventory

[@luisfbjunqueira5837]

love your videos! will set up a second base in the caves tonight

[@alexisward1388]

Good video, very informative. Also I love your voice :)

[@adrienmicollet991]

Great guide ! Thank you !

[@cartereden6938]

I'd love to see more ds guides for reign of giants. I'm really unfamiliar with it like is a Varg a warning boss and how do you get the werebunnys.

[@coranoodles4285]

a varg is not a warning boss, a varg happens as a chance to encounter it while hunting for koalafants. they're pretty tough so i'd reccommend befriending pigs to help fight as it spawns hounds as well. same for the ewecus, it also is a chance encounter for the koalafant, though it has the ability to trap you. friendly pigs will help you fight and untrap you. not quite sure what you mean by werebunnies. i think you are talking about when bunnymen are completely black with red eyes? if so, that happens due to low sanity. they can still be befriended though they cause sanity drain. they can be killed for a way to get beard hair for meat effigies

[@datgnome9366]

6:20 The depth worm screamed in agony when the bunnymen came!

[@jedbex7070]

I'm subscribing because your guides are awesome!

[@starokz5296]

Thx!! This really did helped me a lot

[@turbosoggy5412]

I’m wondering though, what are the valuable resources a beginner play could acquire from these caves? I know you can make a miners helmet and a lamp from bulbs but other than that there doesn’t seem (at least to me but I’m probably wrong) much use to going in them

[@Starlysh]

Great guide! This was the first video when searching for a DS cave guide. I'm hoping most of this is applicable to single player! I mostly stick to SW and Hamlet, but I'm about to head into the caves for the first time.

[@DemonRebuilt]

The main difference between single player and DST underground is that the ruins is another layer down in single player. The rest is mostly the same.

[@Starlysh]

@@DemonRebuilt That's good to hear. Thanks a bunch!

[@zombie_does_stuff123]

Here's a tip for people who play on cave only servers look for a touch stone you can hammer the pig heads for pig skin DON'T MAKE ANYTHING WITH THE SKIN YET make pig houses when you do don't kill them yet feed them monster meat for a were pig so it's a guaranteed drop for pigskin and meat (note Ive never seen a touch stone in the caves so I don't know if they have pig heads) Edit:I've seen a touch stone in the caves and yes it has pig heads

[@ladycavalier]

Every single time I've spent more than a minute in the caves, I have died. x_x

[@vulpesignis2201]

man i love the music player from the final game music

[@moop1684]

My cousin and I had our base burn down in summer so we spent the entire summer running for our life’s ether starving, running or dead

[@noraphelan5598]

Thank you for this video! It helped so much!

[@vanyadolly]

Great guide for spelunking beginners! Can the spider dens also be mined/destroyed in single player?

[@DemonRebuilt]

Yeah for sure, they just won't drop the fossil fragments.

[@elysxiia]

[@taitho5776]

omg new vid 🤩

[@Gowly_]

How did you make the florid postern spawn in the caves? Great guide by the way!

[@DemonRebuilt]

I believe there is always one in each cave world.

[@attenonmj3708]

Well I'm playing Wigfrid so gl to me with bunnymen...

[@henricocampos]

Very good video :)

[@Ofxzh]

Even though I don’t play much, there is one character I know I want to main. And that is Webber.

[@fiv5792]

I have a problem with creating a world with caves. When i choose that i want caves and click generate world it will say "Server is generating world" for very long time. Is there a way to fix it?

[@jennifervan75]

9:40 Does that mean the snurtle mound despawns or something?

[@DemonRebuilt]

The snurtles/slurtles come out of the mounds to gather the rocks and stuff. Each time one comes out, there is a 10% chance that it will be a snurtle and 90% chance it will be a slurtle. The mound doesn't despawn but if you destroy it, it won't come back.

[@clomyst]

I love the content. I wanted to say that variety is key. Dont stick to one game. The wider audience require a wider range of content to select from. Tbh, i dont have any need of watching dont starve but i like you and your video style so i watch. Experiment with a lot of different games and ideas. There are a lot of good games out there! But also do what you want and are comfortable with.

[@zenithwolf8386]

Webber can walk on webed turf and no spiders will spawn and they are passivr all the time to him

[@valentijnkoot2277]

Well, you still left us 20 days in Shipwrecked with your guide.... The quality of that video was really good, but I can understand why you’d maybe not want to continue with it. Other content creators might have covered the subject well enough.

[@zdejiso8031]

I swear i literally spent my whole summer in the caves tryna find the ruins and those worms BUT FORSOME REASON THEY DIDN'T SPAWN

[@Yuu-yv5sq]

For me, winter always has rain underground in dst, I've become used to it cause it happens everytime. Is that normal? Because I can't think of any reason how it happens every winter

[@ashhplayz9489]

i am not really all that afraid of the caves, just... the loading time... the 5-7 minute loading time when i start up the world... it scares me..

[@Adeone7368]

Thanks.

[@shaneogallagher831]

Alright boys I’m about 215+ days in the OG Don’t Starve and surprisingly I haven’t explored one sinkhole yet well because I’m kinda scared of dying it’s so easy to die down there lol. I already found a miners hat, all I really want from down there is lightbulbs so I can make a lantern or 2 idk if it’s even worth going down there at this point but I’m getting kind of bored so I think I might just send it. I have like 4 forms of revival so I should be good even if I do die I’ve just been paranoid to lose my save.

[@kaisamuels9382]

I had no idea half this stuff was in the game

[@bluredstoneiii5594]

Me scared of cave Its scary place

[@ShadowHunter120]

I don't think you need a miner hat to get in if you have access to an alchemy engine close by as the lantern is arguably superior due to being able to be dropped and let you wear a football helmet, because lets be honest who isn't wearing a backpack most of the time?

[@DemonRebuilt]

Yeah I kinda agree. Also easier to gather light bulbs instead of fireflies for crafting. Having said that, I tend to prefer log suit and miner hat to lantern on floor and helmet. I like having the light on me. Gives a bit more flexibility when fighting.

[@thebuilder3594]

how to reduce the lag when caves are on in multiplayer

[@emergency.jergens]

Worms are impossible for me to beat. They are way too tough

Do bunnymen attack wurt or is she safe?

[@artistz93]

Ah ik this is old but you said the "black" bunny men would drop only monster meat, and I saw them drop both? Unless I misinterpreted ofc lol

[@DemonRebuilt]

It depends what kills the bunnyman. If you have low sanity and land the finishing blow, you will get monster meat and beard hair. If another bunnyman gets the last hit instead, you should get the regular loot.
