Ultimate Wormwood Character Guide (New Skill Tree) in Don't Starve Together

[@Jakeyosaurus]

Anything that was inaccurate or that I missed I will list here! :) SUBSCRIBE CHANGES: - Lunar Guardian I - Wormwood has a new armor piece which combines bramble husk & brightshade armor, with their effects being combined while also adding an extra +5 planar damage on top of the other effects. (New) - Lunar Cultivator II - For every light bug you have following you, the light radius of each bug is increased, with 6 lightbugs you can see almost your whole screen in the dark. (Buff) - Lunar Cultivator III - Summoning 2 saladmanders buffs both of their health to 900 up from 600. (Buff) - Moon Shroom Cloud - Wormwood no longer has a long animation from eating moon caps and won't get groggy when eating them. (Buff) - Photosynthesis - Regenerate 1 health every 12 seconds instead of what it was before, still kinda bad. (Buff) - Flower Power - Skill was changed to now instead increase fertilization applied to wormwood by +30%, ultimately means you'll bloom faster and stay in bloom for longer, scaling with how much fertilization you apply, rather than the prior skill which gave a flat amount upon entering stage 3 no matter how much fertilization you applied. (Mostly a buff) Clarifications: - Hold Alt to examine plant names without needing to tend to them first - Bee Kind can be used to not have bees agro wormwood when harvesting honey - All the armor/weapon/skill combat effects work on Beefalo, all effects similar also work on a Beefalo so I didn't think there was a need to explicitly say in the video, my mistake!

overall, this is a really great video, but there is one little tiny problem, and it has to do with the fact that the lunar guardian skills are effectively useless until you kill the lunar champion which means for most people the two skills don’t work until you’ve killed one of the final bosses, which is a huge problem for most people. (this also applies to Wolfgang mighty branch of the skill tree but it isn’t as big as a problem because Wolfgang is the combat character so it makes sense for him to do more damage even if that damage doesn’t apply until you kill one of the final bosses)

​@@zEr-ne5ri honestly if you want to you can always just turn rifts on prematurely. That's what I usually have done since the rifts came out and I was on new worlds

[@zEr-ne5ri]

@@qwp1884 good point, but I was going through the perspective of a new player so they might not know that option existed And they’re gonna have a bit of a steep learning curve. Hell, some people even for the really experienced ones don’t bother changing the sentence too much but yeah, that makes the process easier.

[@DrakePenterman]

Hi

[@Rayneworld]

Thank you for making these! I don't play Don't Starve too much anymore, but I genuinely think this is one of the best resources for info for the game considering the wiki is wrong sometimes. Your formatting for this is super good, your time stamps are nice, and you explain things super well. Honestly some of the best guides out there, I really appreciate all the work you do testing everything, thank you so much for being such a great resource for the Don't Starve Together community!

For my wormwood I picked bee kind to have beehives nearby and also planted monkey tails so that I could create honey poultice for healing. It doesn’t even bother me that wormwood can’t heal with food.

[@buri447]

this tip sound really good, as a main wormwood i hav never tried this

[@Jonhayaaj06]

How you comment 4 days ago but this video only came out 1 day ago?

[@danath3386]

@@Jonhayaaj06 I have a membership to the channel and got early access to the video.

[@Jakeyosaurus]

Very epic channel member level 2 wow

[@smellybearc7411]

My immediate thought was planting monkey tail too once I found out about honey poultice. I didn’t pick bee kind though. Heck, I didn’t even build bee boxes. Instead, I just went to bee hell and bramble husked the crap out of those bees for stings and honey.

[@CraftersClub]

Pro tip for anyone fighting bee queen with moon shrooms. In phase 2 when she screams to wake up the grumbles if you put them back to sleep but not queen herself she won't scream again for a long time. The easiest way to pull this off is to eat a shroom and lure queen and her bees into it. Next position yourself between queen and the centre of the cloud and then hit her. As she's fleeing eat a shroom and limp out of the cloud towards her. When she screams the grumbles will wake up and then immediately go back to sleep and you're free to wail on queen for a bit.

[@cevatkokbudak6414]

Wow thanks

[@cevatkokbudak6414]

I never played the game but fighting with the Krampus (Not the enemy) and getting his bag seems easier (This dude's bag has boss items)

[@jaydenfernbacher6064]

Just wanna say I’ve been a big fan of the channel for a while and a big fan of dst for longer. I know it’s not a massively popular game but it’s definitely one of my favorites and you have the absolute best content on this game. All of your videos are entertaining but also very helpful for getting better at the game and if not for your videos idk if I’d still be playing it to this day, so just wanted to say thanks for the awesome content

[@Jakeyosaurus]

I appreciate that!

[@Neon._..]

I love how jakey fills us up with his content

[@papascorch5215]

Belly Stuff

[@livingalife8879]

Very gay 👍🏻

[@ZebraOnYourNose]

I agree but that phrasing warrants a prison sentence

[@HatsOffYT]

I mean yeah but how about you dont say it like that

[@montyshark3993]

Same😏

[@ednakuipers6709]

I love how wormwood says feest on her bones because he thinks long pig is "belly stuff"

[@grimfrostad6173]

I recommend getting monkeytail crafting immediately, with a bee farm, you get huge amounts of healing items. Once you have crafted enough monkey tails for a lureplant farm, re-spec and go full damage The Bramble husk effect every 3 attacks works even when riding a beefalo, Lunar guardian II also works (even with the B.Smasher) while riding a beefalo, This makes beefalo taming pretty good for wormwood early game as the beefalo will tank for him when you dont have a decent stock of healing items/armor The vines spawned by Lunar guardian II also becomes target by multi hit attacks like Klaus' ice attack Bramble trap is stupidly strong against fuelweaver and toadstool

[@Danii_0626]

I bought wormwood cuz i love him, and i havent used him yet cuz of his blooming mechanizm i knew nothing about. Ty very much for this video that made everything clear for me :] Have a nice day.

[@Tamizushi]

9:33 that "Y E T" sounded menacing

[@skeletik1134]

Epic video. I was waiting it for a 2 months.

[@fricky9713]

Wouldn't be the maximized damage of wormwood be like resetting bramble traps (depending on the size of the enemy), brightshade sword, saladmanders, bramble husk, and lunar vine attack? I feel like his bloom state resetting bramble traps could be considered as dps too

[@nicmalugin9287]

They would have to be triggered which you couldn’t get on a dummy

[@Hedge_the_Hog]

Bramble husk perk is just HUGE for dealing with big tentacles. Just hold 'f" and the little ones will just die.

[@lauralharris]

Can't wait for maxwell skill tree where he's locked out of Lunar even tho him betraying Charlie would be awesome.

[@sechsauge]

0:18 Wormwood fans after hearing this:👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Also, the fact that you had a conversation about if Wormwood has balls or not is crazy

[@Sleepy_Head-h6k]

Is nobody going to talk how he uses his “person to test things “ and treats like a slave 😂I love how jayky does this little eastereggs like he says “no talking”and “your fired on the chat”it’s so funny

[@sentientlemmon6408]

Wow, epic video!

[@sash6121]

hey Jakey ur Video inspired me to do a wormwood run myself and i discovered that his ability where he activates his armor effect on every 3rd hit, counts on beef. So u get the normal Beefelo DMG with the bonus 22 dmg from the ability without using durability for the Armor. Sadly the effect doesnt trigger when ur beef gets hit, only with the offensive skill. Smth for all Beef enjoyers out there.

[@gustavoschunk3718]

[@axilleaszohios2536]

i love collecting all the lightbulbs from caves and give it to a wherepig for a "shit ton" of poop i usally use that for walter to give poop pellets to snails for infinite slime but wormwood can just use the poop

[@dergallier5926]

just Wow really great video keep it up 👍

[@pyrosniper6431]

I find it hilarious that you’re not sorry for the “your mum” joke but are sorry for “let it grow.”

[@michaelbowman6684]

Also worth noting that since the Bramble Husk doesn't lose durability when harvesting Spiky Bushes or Cactus, Spiky Bushes become a de facto upgrade over Saplings that won't wilt during the Summer and also continue to produce Twigs every 4 days during Winter, meaning there is no reason to have a Sapling Farm as Wormwood when you could have a Spiky Bush farm instead.

[@Jakeyosaurus]

oya

[@HappyAspid]

4:09 - this is important information. I always thought that it is something wrong with my memory. When I played different characters (mainly wormwood) and seeing different delay before spoiling. 37:48 - saladmanders are excellent tanks when it comes to Dragonfly fight. Was quite surprised when realised that the can tank it all day long and even if they die - 25HP to resummon is quite good deal. 49:47 - this skills allow great advantage during some bossfights by adding basically free DPS to your attacks if you position everything properly. For example - I used it against first two phases of lunar champion. Great against hound waves, since even 6 of them usually enough to kill everything.

[@kfk4441]

How do I heal as wormwood? I got a x9 beeboxes farm, with a bunch of monkeytails (and bananabushes to get more monkeytails and cooked food). Why? Honey hardly ever spoils, Honey + Papyrus: Honey heal item You get even more papyrus with that reaper item thing. It's a slow method to set up, specially since you have to get butterflies for the flowers, but with this you don't even need a farm....I use my seeds for random sanity gain if I dropped my tam o'shanter. Compost wraps are great for blooming fast and to farm a bunch of mobs with the armor strat (ofc jelly beans are better, stagger doesn't let you use potions). Finally, I recommend getting a bunch of pumpkins and plant them in patches of x4 to x12 so they can be reborn and give you seeds randomly

[@kfk4441]

You can also use the bee farm in spring to make it kill mobs like some frogs or pigs...With the perk they won't attack wormwood
