[BETA] Depths of Duplicity Update - "From Beyond" Caves Update - Don't Starve Together Guide

[@TheBeard777]

(And yes, shadow buffs with the void armor will apply to things, as always) Baby Beard Niece or Nephew is coming. Nothing else matters. Shut up and enjoy it if you like the Update and where the game is going! But also shut up about those of us who don't like what Klei has been doing for 2 years and want them to return to what they were with "Return of Them" when it comes to meaningful progression in gameplay and lore in these releases! As there's nothing like a "cave update" that has been promoted as a continuation of "From Beyond" that doesn't even try to address the problems of the caves! :D Beta Post - forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/159158-game-update-627870/ Hotfix 1 - forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/159259-game-update-628129/ Hotfix 2 - forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/159417-game-update-628950/

@TheBeard777 hi beard. Can you do a small video of all the mods that you always use? Not the mods that come and go. The mods that is a must and always used. It would be a help for newbies like me to dst.

[@galp3048]

You know we can wait a few days, it is a reasonable reason to not make a new video to have a nephew on the way. Also congrats to your sister for being a mother and you for being an uncle !

[@Guyinthecommentsection]

I agree. It would also allow the beta to get more mature so we aren't yelling at the game equivalent of a fetus.

[@thewitchidolsachika6682]

the worm can actually chew on monster meat that you drop on the ground, so it doesn't need to be followers.

[@qua_xor3348]

@@dontthrow6064 For real. With all the new endgame content all the characters without a skill tree are quite handicapped.

[@anmspafan7855]

I think they'll probably make a Maxwell skill tree last for both dramatic effect with a main story update, and also because he doesn't really need one yet. Characters that are weak or swap characters need a skill tree first. (Walter, Warly, Webber particularly stand out) Of course every character will get one, but I'd rather they give them to the characters who actually need one first, instead of copying Wolfgang's boring tree (which he got because he was already good enough) and just slapping on 'Maxwell's minions now do +5, +10, +15 planar' or something

[@WitnessesSay]

I REALLY, REALLY like the direction of this update. Klei seems to be sorta dipping their toes in the water and lightly testing things most wouldn’t expect them to add. It feels bad but i take this as a good sign. Sure you can only get the nightmare in the ruins post rift, but the fact klei added a new hostile and “traditional” nightmare is what counts. Can you remember the last time they did that? It wasn’t the terror claw, that’s just the water reskin of a terror beak if anything. To be honest, i wasn’t expecting it to appear at low sanity regardless, but i see a future where that is the case. They also added proper late game beefalo gear, which i wasn’t expecting. The point is, is this is the gateway drug to magic tab overhaul and new endgame is becoming more and more worth while.

[@TheBeard777]

You guys have been praising the direction of the game's updates for nearly 3 years and we've barely moved 100 feet from the startline when it comes to actual, meaningful progression in both gameplay and lore in relation to the franchise as a whole... That said, enjoy it, it's just a stupid videogame anyways! :D

[@Sempapi]

​@@TheBeard777 I feel like there are too many little things in the end game but not really something to grind for

[@vessel6723]

I am so tripping right now because four years ago I was talking in the Uncompromising Mode discord server about how cool it would be for the mod to have a depth worm boss that reused some pugalisk assets and now we're here.

[@vetrix215]

I saw a few people wanting a Pugalisk like boss in DST, and I bet they are gonna be happy about that part of the update. I never played Hamlet, so I'm excited to see how this fight will be.

[@derekatom864]

I like the way some of it kinda chains together in this update. Trade with the Rabbit King for Bunnymen followers to feed to the Depths Worm. And if things go bad, escape across a cave bridge.

[@JasonJA88]

That new boss should be available for combat at any time in the caves located in one of the nearly empty biomes, perhaps red-cap biome. It should also drop fossils upon death.

[@knight764]

Probably can be toggled to spawn in world gen settings to replace depth worms

[@mmgmismas]

While contents of this update are quite random, I might get actually back to DST. I really like all the new end game gear and I wonder what's the endgame here. Like they are adding all these powerful endgame items and even although the updates seem kinda random in its contents, there has to be a reason other than "its the endgame" behind this stuff. I wonder what kind of monsters are they cooking. (Even tho I'll have to wait 'till my beard is as long as yours)

[@TheBeard777]

My concern is just that they said out loud that this would all lead somewhere soon and it's been 3 years... 3... 0_o

[@mmgmismas]

@@TheBeard777 Is that how long this arc was going on? Yikes, time flies. Edit: I thought the arc began last spring XD

[@FairyHawk]

Apparently the Rabbit King already spawns aggressive if you have meat in your inventory, similar to the Bunnymen. I haven't tested it much so I'm not sure, but I was playing Wigfrid and when I summoned him for the first time he already appeared attacking me and summoning the Beardlords, so I killed him, dropped the meat I had in my inventory and summoned him again and he was normal this time. Just letting you know so that other people testing it don't get caught by surprise like what happened to me.

[@TheBeard777]

Thanks for the heads up! Obviously had zero time to test anything beyond one or two quick ideas what came up.

[@CF3GAMING]

[@jerariahgonzalez7261]

I’m really glad they’re not leaving the beefalo behind. I wanted new saddles for a while and then Wigfried gave us one. I also wanted a strand of lunar essence to wrap around the beefalo’s horn so our beefalo could deal planar damage but this nightmare saddle… yes. I am excited

[@hironguyen1708]

omg this uodate is so fun, Klei is so creative with this one. I like the mimic one already!

[@richardbudge9416]

I especially like the harvesting efficiency for endgame tools. One of my favorite parts of shipwrecked was the difference in gameplay from early to late game. Obsidian tools meant you saw the direct impact on your progression every time you went to collect resources. Lunar glass tools don't quite do it for me simply due to the painful process of collecting them in large numbers

[@limonero8757]

I like what the update is bringing to the game so far, even if most of the stuff feel disconnected from each other. But, Klei, PLEASE make a good skill tree. Also, some QoL changes to cave exploration would be amazing, which I suppose we are getting in a future beta of this update.

The shadow axe is by far my favorite thing in the beta

[@knight764]

I will deal with the super depth worm like I deal with regular depth worms: letting the splamonkies and bunnymen fight/distract it while I run away. Normally I burn all the monkey spawners in the ruins bc they are annoying and depth worms and spiders will eventually kill them off. But now I shouldn’t burn them after starting rifts. Wished it dropped better loot to encourage fighting it rather then let it fight the bunnies and monkeys and forget about it

I was surprised to come home today and find that no hotfix was out giving it better loot to be honest... 👀🤔

I feel like I might be in the minority here, but I have been waiting for a rabbit update for a while. They are the main faction in the caves with villages, so it makes sense they would get attention in the cave update. But it is so strange that their king is only seen above ground. I will not be happy if this is the entire cave update. If this is part one, and they build off of this, I will be fine.
