Troubled Waters is the fifth major release of Don't Starve Together updates under the Return of Them theme and adds sharks, sea weeds, spittlefish, boat mast upgrades, and eight new crockpot recipes. It also adds leafy meat as a crockpot ingredient and renewable volt goat herds.
She Sells Seashells went live in April 2020. An Island fragment of the moon has left a lonely creature stranded. Is it friendly? Time will tell. New features include messages in bottles, the moon fragment island, the Crabby Hermit, Crab King, new seasonal fish, the Wobster and Wobster Den the Winch Boat structure, sunken treasures, and singing shells.
Throughout 2019, Klei released a series of game updates available to all players, under the single thematic focus entitled “Return of Them."
"Hook, Line, & Inker" will be remembered as the big fishing update. We finally have the tools we need to go sailing and fish around literally anywhere in the ocean. This update added over a dozen new ocean mobs, three new crockpot recipes, and tons of new craftable items and structures. Most of these new additions are tailored toward the goal of dramatically expanding the fishing experience in DST. So stick around to the end while I attempt to cover everything!
Charlie’s machinations have come to a head as she turns her attention towards the skies - and the mysterious entity that awaits there. Our Survivors will be forced to contend with terrifying monstrosities beyond their comprehension, and yet, there may be a silver lining: their minds and horizons will be expanded under the sublime light of an ancient moon.
Here is an overview of what was added in the first update, "Turn of Tides:"
Added a new multiplayer-centric boat mechanic, where players can build and deck out a boat for multiple survivors to travel together on
Added a new Seafaring crafting menu
Added the Lunar Island
Added Enlightenment
Added 3 new Lunar Island biomes, along with new creatures, objects, and craftables
Turn of Tides focused primarily on building the fundamental tech and infrastructure for Return of Them. Since then a significant amount of content has added to both the islands and the sea.
Don't Starve Together is the standalone multiplayer expansion of the uncompromising wilderness survival game, Don't Starve. Now including Reign of Giants; adding new characters, seasons, creatures, biomes, and Giant new challenges to Don’t Starve Together. Cooperate with your friends in a private game, or take your chances with strangers online. Work with other players to survive the harsh environment, or strike out on your own. Do whatever it takes, but most importantly, Don't Starve.

"Just don't aggro too many splumonkeys at once." (Laughs in Abigail)
Alright, I’ll just de-summon her! *loses sanity and is now insane* well shoot
@@ShrishGamerTV oh he means Abigail can easily kill those monkeys.
The worst thing ever hapened to me in my last ruins rush, I found a bunch of free rope from a skeleton and used it to make my lantern and football helmets before heading out, but because of that I never actually prototyped rope. So i just had 40 grass sitting in my inventory that I couldnt do anything with. Spent 20 minutes finding the ruins only to use up my foot ball helmet and realized that I would have to go all the way back to make more rope : (
rip
Will was killed by boon loot. He became a spoopy ghost.
First case of boon loot death I've seen.
Just mine some gold and make a science machine easy enough
This exact thing has happened to me
Fun Fact: Surf ‘n turf is also a food in Klei’s other game Oxygen Not Included. Great guide Jazzy!
Another fun fact seen in the video: fishsticks is the only crockpot dish that can use 2 monster meats without making monster lasagna
@@mrtacos705 actually, Warly can make monster tartare which uses more than 2 monster meat.
And bacon eggs can be made with a twig, tallbird egg, and two monster meat!
@@mrtacos705 Not allways there is a only a chance
@@mrtacos705 not really the only one, you can do the same with Surf'n Turf actually
you knwo what would be a very good tip for ruins. not having it to do in one run. if you get low on materials and/or food just go back to the overworld and rest and prepare and come back when you feel you are ready
One time I was getting moles for moggles but I was the mighty Wolf so I had to wait till I wasn’t mighty or I would kill the mole.
I mean, Wolfgang probably doesn't need Moggles as much. You're gonna be going in with a ton of helmets and blue caps and just killing everything.
But this was my first time rushing and I wanted to feel safe
you can dig the mole hole during the day
0:02 I love how you made it look like a throne
Yesterday I hammered a pseudoscience station and it spawned a meat effigy. I look it up and apparently there is a 1/2000 chance of that happening!
!!!
You might as well play the lottery you are that lucky.
I hammered a pseudoscience station multiple times in a row and summoned a hellscape of enemies. It was actually quite funny, and I managed to escape with my life too. It summoned at least 6 cave spiders, 6 batsilisks, and a few nightmare creatures. It was glorious
My first world: ran out of healing and warmth in the deerclops fight My second world: made it to end of spring but was unprepared for summer, got caught off-gaurd by a hound attack My third world: made it halfway through summer, but i got lazy on the antlion fight, bringing a near-spoiling ham bat and 3 log suits. brought no healing at all. My fourth world: killed antlion as wolfgang very quickly, but only brought 1 meaty stew and 1 pierogi to my ruins clear (and first ever trip to the ruins.) it was actually the hunger that killed me. My fifth world: a splemonkey stole my lantern ahhhhhhhhhh It was then clear to me that i only ever died when I wasn't ready, and I proceeded to watch this video approximately 4 times a day over the next 2 days.
Wow, very comprehensive and much needed guide, to top it you have the entire video chaptered!
ill make sure to bring a flame, a carrot, two swords and my health bar next time i try to rush the ruins, very helpful guide!
Nailed it.
Love your vids man! They are of amazing quality! Keep grinding, and most importantly, enjoy your journey to the top!
Never thought of putting a tent in the ruins but it's a great idea. I always seem to get unlucky with the nightmare phase.
I am a experienced player and know most of this stuff but these guides are still so entertaining and informative Keep up the great work jazzy!
ahhh he said James bucket. this video was sponsored by James bucket
Yup
Wilson is best
You deserve more subs, great video bro
Love jazzy attitude.
thx for this jazzy I belive many people new or old will benefit from this informations
great idea for a guide jazzy
Another guide from Jazzy 🙏
tysm your videos are always so helpful
Thank you so much!!
If you want to go to the ruins ASAP, without much prep work, you can play WX. All you need is a lantern, hambat, one or two touchstones worth of pig skin plus a stack of grass for football helmets, and a hammer or two. You can get all the food and healing you need by eating gears. I do this strategy all the time on short term servers, and I only bring back a Magiluminescence (don't bother crafting a backpack), fully upgraded WX stats plus 5-10 extra gears, 40+ frazzled wires for gold, and a star caller's staff if I found any living logs. I usually spend the first 4 or so days looking for touch stones and getting grass, knocking down 2 pig houses for an alchemy engine and ham bat, and then go underground before day 5.
Thulecite crowns?
@@JazzysGames I usually don't bother with ancient gear, since on a short term server with 10+ players, bringing back 3 or 4 helmets doesn't mean much, and I don't have the inventory space to fit much more than that anyways.
Jazzy you should do a can ---- rush the ruins?I love those
The thing is: with enough preparation, skill, and luck, any character can rush the ruins Though I do enjoy watching Jazzy rush the ruins
Yesh but the wayhe explains it and does the gameplay is very very entertaining and fun
@@diamondpelel6291 1 word for you: *w e s*
Jazzy the ligit best ytr ever now I can rush ruins I didn't know how now I do
thanks for your guide! :)
Didn't even think about pre-crafting a crock pot for the ruins. My favorite character is Wigfrid, so that tip is so helpful!
As an occasional ruin rusher (albeit bad at one), here's my suggestion for beginners. Use WX, you literally can just ignore preparing food and healing items for the ruin (still, bring some just in case and also you still have to transverse to the ruin which you'll need food to sustain you till then), since eating *1 gear gives you 60 health, 75 hungers and 50 sanity* and you'll get a crap ton of it from damaged rook and knights, you don't have to worry about nightmare creatures (you can get nightmare fuel from damaged bishops anyway), no need to prepare for healing items, and you reduce the preparation for food by a significant amount. Another thing is that inventory management is a must (ruin rushing will teach you a lot about it anyway), you almost certainly, especially when you have no idea what to expect, to have no inventory for all the spoils and loots you've acquired. One thing I've learnt about ruin rushing is that you bring either flint or gold, you don't bring both, flint if you're going to make a normal pickaxe, and gold if you're going to make an opulent pickaxe. If you see a splumonkey chasing at your back, DO NOT PLACE DOWN YOUR LANTERN, or you'll have a swift end by Charlie (if you do not have the ingredients or have available light source), worst part, life giving amulet ain't going to save you since there is no light source around most probably. MOST IMPORTANTLY, if you're not fit for fighting, just run, you can come back later anyway. If you die in the ruin, it's going to be a real pain retrieving your items back.
Thanks for the tips! I play WX myself so good to know.
My only complaint about this vid is no subtitles, not even auto-generated ones. The content is great!
thanks so much
Nice video
what i like to do before i have moogles is to wear a minerhat with wigfrid and in fight i swap to my helmet for 1 sec when getting attacked. i dont recommend doing this with other chars cause if you do a mistake as wig it isnt taht bad. her def and lifesteal make it forgiveable.
Really useful guide, thanks a lot! I feel much more aware of what to do when I’ll go to the ruins next time
I usually play single player and Wheeler is obviously my go-to. She's surprisingly good at it. Her speed bonus and dodge make trips much shorter, she doesn't need to worry anywhere near as much about Clockworks as other characters, the Ancient Guardian is a joke between GUN and her dodge, and even her Navigadget is incredibly useful for locating anything I need.
I want to try rushing the ruins in the future.
I was rushing with Wes and the monkeys picked up 25 thulecite...
The bless of the wes
@@idiot7329 I got 5 green gems and this happened... But still love Wes.
wes.mp4
atleast the thulecite never despawns. you can kill the monkeys and hammer the pods later and you will get it back.
very nice video, i like
I just rushed and my biggest mistake wasn’t bringing enough grass!
It happens.
i did that too, and ran out of rope for football helmets lol
Yup, grass has been my downfall too...
Oof
you need like 1k grass you never have enough
Any word on when the guide on clearing the ruins will come out? I didn't see it in the list of videos but it's always possible I missed it!
10:30 yo look at that dude Fish man is now fish king B)
I've never rushed the ruins, but the sleeping and head light sound good to me, I also think lichen are just too easy to overlook
Basic concept i do Woodie Prep campfire Make alchemy machine asap Make backpack & log suit "Going goose!" Find desert Wear suit and pluck tons of cactus Make lantern (or 2) Hammer & weapon of choice (i would kill spider by a den in forrest for 4 meat, feed a pig, kill were pig and make hambat) Go underground and make campfire and cook all cacti "GOING GOOSE" Search whole ruin and labrynth So needless to say i kinda gisted this descript. Going goose gives speed to out run a bunch so it isn't really needed to get excessive armor just to search. Cacti are good for sanity and food which is a must when going normal but you "could" go back to back if you distance enough from shadows and obviously heals of your choice (i like butterfly wings personally but blue shrooms work perfect here in a shroom biome) since transform deals 20 damage. And if you wana deal as much asap, you can go beaver instead of hammer, or go moose instead of fighting with hambat or needing to find armor persay. Woodie is kinda broken in my opinion for such diversity...
Jazzy: bring food, healing, and light Me a wx main: *laughs in overcharge*
Good video gg
"Just don't aggro too many splumonkeys at once." *Haha moose Woodie go brrr*
you should bring ruins as much grass as you can like 60 20 twigs is enough and to locate ruins mushroom biomes/rock biomes lead to ruins look for them some little tips for finding and being more prepared
“The bunny men meat can also make a great weapon!” *laughs in wanda*
And an adicional tip is to get the thulecite medalion with it you can see where the ancient guardian is located
Never tried rushing the ruins, and now that I always play on the jazzy endless server I would never have a chance to
Me and my buddy went throught th ruins with him as wortox and me as walter I would carry all the materials and food (I had an insolated pack) and he would handle combat which we used dark swords because why not, seeing as we both had walking canes and miner hats, we rushed throught the labrith and smacked the fur off the ancient Guardian
Does anyone else do scienceless ruins rushes? They're super underrated
0:16 Which mod did you use here to show quantity of damage given to this tree? Sorry for my English by the way))) It looks a little bit weird sometimes because I from Russia. I hope you understand my question and you will answer:)
When I rushed ruins with my friend (I was wig they were WX78) and my God there were like 30 no joke 30 night mare fishers they activated while we were in the middle so we ran and boom like a country of nightmare monkeys and we barely near the actual ruins and the second I entered the ruins got sniped by a clockwork my friend died by monkeys and hunger. We had a good laugh tho.
Ruins inal a nutshell
At least your learning! :)
Batbat on wigfridge is a W
For food before I ruins rush I kill a bunch of spiders, get a bunch of berries and filler, make a bunch of meatballs, and turn on winters feast for free early game bundle wrap, it’s kinda cheaty but it works.
Oh dang, ruins rush with gift wrap is next level.
Wx-78 is one of the best charakters ti rush te he ruins because he can eat gears that give him Hunger, Health and Sanity. He upgrades too.
how do i start a bunnymen war? i found a big bunch of hutches but don't know how to make them fight each other like in 3:08 to get lots of loot
we need next part😭how to clean the ruin
can anyone find the next part? I've been searching but I can't seem to find it
Deep...
I only bring pickaxe, weapon, and resources
when i tried to rush ruins earlier on my blue mushroom went stale i died
Try to get some while you are going to the ruins, and try to dig up a few in the wilds.
Does ruins rush mean looting the ruins early game. I never 100% knew what it means🤔.
I came from the future... I just take about 10 nurse spiders and 30 dangling spiders and a boomerang Never done ruins so easy in my life
2-3 players?
The first time i found the ruins i thought the monkeys were friendly I was very wrong
What is the mod that shows damage on video? Thanks!!!
I believe it's called Damage Indicators?
I don’t rush ruins cause I wana enjoy the game, and I didn’t die
There is 1 thing that he didn't mention ,rock lobsters , I'm no expert but these guys have more then 2000 health and are very easy to befriend
sub gang boys
75% of this video isnt about ruins rushing, its about how to clear the runes for your first time after youve been in the world for a year or two.
We can discuss specific aspects of this video if you like but as a general statement I don't really know how to respond. All of these preparations are accessible for early-game rushing.
hey, an actual wurt player
or just play wx and skip the hunger, healing and sanity issues lol
Pls add a disclaimer that u wouldn't like to shovel your blue caps in long term worlds. This is used by rushers in public and private servers always due to guides never advising to be considerate to fellow players
Not too big of a deal since mushroom trees Respawn and mushroom planters exist
in public servers, the mushrooms are most likely going to be burnt or dug by other random players anyway.
To be honest, I shoveled blue caps when I rushed the ruins in my current 1,400-day Wurt world, and I've never missed them. What I say at 4:43 is true; I really don't use blue caps after the early game at all. I even made a half dozen mushroom planters in the caves thinking I could grab them on the way to the ruins, but I never use them. There's much better healing sources out there for the mid-game and late-game, and for me blue caps are just not worth gathering constantly when I can bring down a stack of jellybeans and not worry about health for an entire season of ruins clearing. Even in my endless server it's not really an issue. Usually 2-3 people rush together from Day 1 and they stick together so they use less healing. After that point we have crockpots for healing foods and farm BeeQueen for jellybeans. So while I agree that generally it's inconsiderate to destroy non-renewable resources, I don't think shoveling blue caps is that big of a deal because the trees regrow so the caps will never go completely extinct, and you can farm mushrooms more regularly with planters. If I knew that someone was going to be basing close to the blue forest and wanted access to the mushrooms then in that instance I might ask people to not shovel the mushrooms.
@@JazzysGamesI don't really rely on them all the time but I personally take them when I see them on my way to the ruins. It's free sanity/healing food that I don't need to work for. Ofc u have the planters, jellybeans, and other healing food but why destroy forever a resource you don't even need to fertilize when u can get the same stack without even shoveling? Also your other fellow players can enjoy the same resource when they come by. I understand your point but I prefer not to destroy something that can serve others too instead of just me. I guess it's just a matter of perspective because there is a bit of "everybody does it then I do it too" kinda mentality in DST
Fair points.
When I kill a moleworm I get meat ;-;
You have to hit him with a hammer, that way you can pick him up
@@stoopochky thx
Disliked for encouraging the digging of shrooms! Nothing like an empty desert shroom biome where there are NO more food sources late game
Hours of editing in order to bring you content completely free of charge, only to receive a dislike because of a single piece of information with which you disagree. I mean, it's your call but dang, KZhead.
@@JazzysGames Absolutely. I've seen public servers where pigs were extinct... Inspired by Edgy Rick (who takes down pig houses and also digs up shrooms).
Pig houses are the only source of renewable pig skin. You destroy them all, no more hambats or helms. Blue caps, on the other hand, will not be made extinct from a ruins rush. Even if you manage to dig every mushroom - which would be utterly wasteful - you can still grow them from spores in mushroom planters and grab them from surface mushrooms. I listened back to the video because it's been a while, and yeah I stand by what I said. It's a non-renewable method but there are better sources of food and healing in the late game. If you really love eating them then make some planters and farm them. It'll be quicker than waiting until Spring to harvest them again..
Wow. You really want to argue about this? Jazzy your content was good. But you are encouraging the destruction of placed non-renewable resources. They are accessible food sources on long journeys and will be necessary to save your life when you've run out of food on your way back. You wanna hear what your reply is saying? "death to mushrooms, get spores for your planters". Some (like myself) are more nomadic than those who just dwell in the base. I often have a crockpot prebuilt in case I need to cook monster meat along with any harvestable food around. And now you're thinking "get carrots, berries, monkeys, lichens etc."... Fine... Death to mushroom! geez
I write "digging every mushroom during a ruins rush would be an utter waste," and you read "death to mushrooms." I'm sorry if this seems argumentative, I just want to be clear that is not what I am saying.
