Winter Guide Part 2 - Gameplay (Don't Starve RoG Beginner's Guide Series)
Time for the gameplay aspects of surviving Winter, including preparation, survival, hunting Walruses, and being ready to take down the Deerclops. This is the 6th Episode of my Don't Stave - Reign of Giants Beginner's Guide Series, a tutorial aimed at new players who are struggling to survive or coming back after a long hiatus.
As with all guides in the series, the focus is on the single player Reign of Giants DLC, but much of what is covered here will also apply to the multiplayer Don't Starve Together, with the notable exception that mobs in DST have more health (MacTusk takes 3 blowdarts to kill, for example) and bosses like Deerclops have MUCH more health (4000 HP in DST vs 2000 in DS).
And don't worry, I've fully recovered from my in-person run-in with Deerclops while recently camping ;-)

lol gotta love the "Live-Action Deerclops Attack!!!" XD i havent gotten to the winter point yet but when i do ill be ready now
I'll tell you what - that plush Deerclops was vicious!! But taking down the in-game version, barely an inconvenience!! 🤣
You can feel the dad energy in the beginning, in the best way possible!
I've been known to bust out a good pun now and then!!
I’ve just recently picked up Don’t starve and your guides are the one thing that allows me to get past day 10. I love your content!
Sweet - let's get you past a full year in game!
Same
Same
Same! Thanks so much making these vids
@@salendrak definitely worth watching your series before coming back to don't starve.
Me: *surviving winter for a long time* Deerclops: may i offer you an unprepared boss fight at this trying time?
Ever had hounds start barking immediately followed by deerclops (but before hound arrived) while in the middle of a MacTusk and Tallbird warzone? Good times!!!
Once again, excellent and informative! It’s good to see Don’t Starve content that isn’t geared towards DST.
Much appreciated! I'm really not sure why so much more content is made for DST. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game, and certainly has a lot of potential content for video creation, particularly with its regular updates. I just remember way back when I started playing single player Don't Starve and there really weren't any good guides on it, which seems to be rather the case still today. Hence the reason I started this guide series myself! It's a rough job - but SOMEBODY's got to do it!! 😆
I buy don't Starve in a steam sale some time ago, failed miserably like 7 times in the first 5 days And never came back, thanks to this channel i live long enough to be killed by My first deerclop in just My third attempt, And i'm not Even mad this time. Thanks to help me to be decent And finally appreciate this Game
Awesome - glad to hear you're giving the game another chance and are enjoying it! It can definitely be brutally discouraging if you have no idea what you're doing, but a little knowledge goes a long way to making it fun, even when you die!
Your such a great youtuber I've had a hard time getting thru my grandmas death and watching you always makes me feel better
Sorry to hear about your grandmother, but happy if these videos are a mood booster for you. I'm honored!
I GOT HIM !!!! That battle was definetly something. Thanks a lot to your videos, I'm finaly understanding something to this game, I killed my first Deerclops and I'm not struggling that much !!! Thanks a lot !
Awesome!!! Now onward to Spring, and then Summer!!
I was having a tough time in don’t starve, but with the help of your guides, I have a better understanding of RoG and, winter and we’ll overall the whole game. So thank you, love your content.
Sweet!! Glad the guide's have helped, and hope you end up loving the game as much as I have! 🙌
I know you'll never see this but I just wanted to say that because of your guides I went from barely being able to survive 5 days to being able to survive 18 days at my longest! I'm getting better all the time and it's really encouraging.
I SEEEEEEE AAAAALLLLLLLLL!! LOL Awesome - glad the guides are helping! Now let's get you surviving a year plus!! 😁
@Alexander Keenan I can make it about 5 days into winter now (when i do make it to winter, I'm still making really foolish mistakes)
I had the hounds and deerclops show up on the same night and I managed to beat them (with the help of some local spiders)?!?! Honestly the deerclops was way easier to take down than I thought it would be, but I was worried my fire was going to die out since the spiders kept trying to go for me too when I was trying to stoke it lol.
Nice! I think my funnest Deerclops was also mixed with a hound attack near at least two walrus camps and a tall bird. Good times!!
Absolutely stellar series man. Cant believe how good your information presentation is. The time stamps for convenience. 10/10
Thanks!! 😁 Oooof - still need to go back and update some of those older thumbnails 😆
Just started the game, and I LOVE this series. Makes the game way more fun and addictive when I know what's going on.
What - you don't like dying repeatedly without knowing how to survive?! 😜 Glad you're enjoying the videos!!
Your guide is really great, you showed me how much mistakes i did in all my runs, like food management, the way i fought against Deerclops, and much more, thank you very much!!!
Glad I could help! 😊
That intro was a terrifying masterpiece hahaha
Yeah, that's definitely up there as one of my favorite intros - so far!
Thanks for the great content! I've been watching your video guides and recently, I finally made it past my first winter and killed Deerclops! Love your vids man! Update for Salendrak: I really don't know how, but I managed to get past spring on my first try, and right now i'm on day 61. Sadly I did not make any attempt to kill Moose Goose, mainly because I didn't know how, but if there's one thing for certain, i'm pretty much dead as of now since I spent most of spring nearly dying and not preparing for Summer. If I beyond all known laws of the universe survive for longer, i'll be sure to update you on it. (I'll also update you if I die) Update 2: Not really a surprise, but i died on day 67. I tried to hunt a koalaphant without realising my thermal stone wasnt cooled, so i chased him down found him, and started to overheat, panicking, i decided i would set up camp since it was about to be night and hop from tree to tree till i was at my base. The only thing i didnt account for was that i hadnt seen hounds in a while. And they wanted to visit. So ye i was already on low health and i couldnt stray very far from the tree so i ended up dying to like 7 hounds at once. Next time ill be more prepared though
Dude - that's totally awesome! Gratz on downing the Deerclops, and keep me posted on how your adventures progress!!
@@salendrak idk if it notifies you when I edit the comment so im replying to you just in case
I get that this was two years ago but I still love the fact that he added the plushie
I still have scars from that thing! 😆
I can't wait to see new episodes of this guide, it's so daaamn well done!
Next one should get posted sometime tomorrow!!
Super helpful as per usual, looking forward for the summer ones
Thanks! Summer guide will likely be sometime in January, or early February at the latest!
My first game ever was terraria and it was really hard to learn the mechanics than I found your terraria tutorials playlist which was the best tutorials EVER and just now I bought don’t starve and I WAS so glad when I saw Salendrak KZhead channel name about don’t starve tutorial your the best thank you I’m ready for pain this game is so hard
Awesome!! I love it when people recognize me from one game or the other! 😊
Great guides! Great information! Fun! Well done!!
Thanks so much!! 😁
Your intro keep getting better and your videos are really helpful. Keep up the good work.
I gotta admit - the intro on this one is definitely my favorite so far! 😁
I've been watching a lot of beginner's guide videos because I just discovered the game, and yours are by far the best ones I've found. You do a great job of explaining and showing something before jumping to another concept, and I love how well-organized your videos are by topic. Having a list of contents with timestamps is extra helpful! I hope to see many more videos from you; thanks so much!
Glad I could help! My goal with these videos was that they would be a resource for any new players that might pick up the game at any point in time. So hopefully the mechanics never get an overhaul that makes the videos obsolete lol
Best intro i ever saw, made me giggle so much! Thank you for all this awesome videos
I still have scars from that attack 🤣
tysm, i was not expecting the deerclops my first or second run in winter. This helps so much!
Yeah, I always plan on a giant showing up, and if it doesn't (and I wasn't prepared for it anyways) then I have a sigh of relief. But at about a 66% spawn rate, they'll generally show up more often than they don't!
thanks much, these videos are extremely well done and your voice is very nice, keep up the great work!
Thanks - much appreciated!!
Greatest tutorial. Easily soloed deerclops following the required steps
Good job! Glad the guide helped!!
Happy New Year Salendrak... it's a great guide... looking forward to many more guides... thank you very much
Happy new year to you too - and thanks!!
Thanks for the guide man, really appreciate it, now I can properly play this game after owning it for years!
Glad I could help! The game is really quite delightful, especially once you get the hang of it!
If you wasent hear my dear i wont never learned how to just survive for few minutes so thanks you for all terraria guides and dont stave one
Happy to help!!
LOL! I loved that intro!
Most painful intro ever - for me HAHAH!!
As always, great tutorial. Very well spoken and informative. Hope to see you play The Long Dark one day! Cheers
Oooh I do need to try that at some point!
That intro lol. Btw your videos are the best thing ever for a new player, sooo informative. Ur a natural teacher😎
I still chuckle at that intro 😁
Excellent guide series! This game seems to be impossible at first, so thanks for demistifying the concepts.
It definitely has a steep learning curve!
These guides are very helpful!
Thanks!!
been waiting for this
Thank you for the guides they were able to help pass my first winter without any problems! just gotta pass 2 more seasons then I will survive the year!
Nice!!
I love your guide series! I watched it with my bf as a way to introduce him to the game proper but even I learned stuff I didn't know/ understand yet :) I would love for you to continue the series as there are barely any guides on YT focused on the single player DS! :)
Oh, this series will definitely be going for a while - and eventually I'll do the DLCs too!
@@salendrak I would love that :)
great intro ;) thx for sharing your ideas :)
Gotta love a good Deerclops attack!!
Thank you for the guide!
You're most very welcome! 😊
Just survived trough the whole fight with deerclopse as Maxwell! Your guides truly made the fight as i would end up being dead since i barrely got to a worm hole, got to my base and made some pierogie to heal myself up! Without following the "be prepared" tip from the first episode i would have been making a new world by now since i haven't took any cactus until day 30 but i did since either way i knew that i was screwed If it wasn't the case + the footbal helment and the log suit definitly helped a lot (not to mention the fresh ham bat)
Good call on getting some pierogi for the fight! Other characters can safely take down the Clops with just good armor and weapon, but I've died more than once as Maxwell because I forgot he has such low max health compared to everyone else!
@@salendrak thx and haha, yeah Squishwell doesn't do well without pierogie at all!
0:23 BREAKING NEWS: a man camping gets brutaly murdered by an one-eye/biped deer. Locals report the damage in the body was compareable to a bear atack
The stories I could tell - the scars I could show!!🤣
im decently advanced at dst but i still watch your vids so i dont forget anything.Keep it up
Thanks!! One of the joys of this game is there are SOOOO many things to learn about, that you'll often forget things and a refresher course can be helpful. I'm always learning new things even though I've been playing this game for years!! (Though if I'm honest I'll still pretty inexperienced when it comes to DST - I just haven't played it nearly as much!)
Just survived my first winter EVER!! (I started playing forever ago, but stopped before SW came out, and only picked it back up about a month ago.) Winter is almost always what kills me, but having WX fully kitted out with 400hp before winter even started was CLUTCH. I'm 96% sure that Deerclops totally spawned in. There were some weird warnings, but I never found him, and he never showed up to destroy anything near me, so... I did later find a herd of dead Volt Goats sorta nearby, so maybe that was him. 🤷♀️ It was super touch and go at the end, but some double thermal stones saved the day, and now I get to deal with a lil wet robot! 😊
Nice! Spring shouldn't be too bad with a fully upgraded WX. Be sure to get hit by lighting a time or to - it's fun! How are you feeling about summer? Seems like someone made a half-decent guide about that recently 😆
@@salendrak I'd be lying if I said I felt super confident about summer, but my main focus for spring is to get a second camp up and rolling in the oasis ASAP, so fingers crossed!
@@SpiderLydia Ahhhh - so a DST world? If so, that's impressive that you got WX fully upgraded already, as gears are often in short supply on the surface! Going to take out the Antlion?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Your advice this whole series got me to day 34. I took a bunch of notes from the videos, and I was consistently well fed from day 10 onwards. But, I got stomped by the Christmas version of the deerclops (dst) 😢
Sounds like you've been making great progress, and I'm sure soon enough you'll last even further!!
That intro had me spoooooked 😱😱
I was channeling my inner Blair Witch Project 🤣
Here's a couple of fun facts about Deerclops, just as a thank you for all of these guides and for your Discord server and streams: First, Deerclops is canonically female, though only Wurt (being a native of The Constant) seems aware of this fact. This doesn't impact anything from a gameplay standpoint. It's just an interesting factoid regarding the comments the Survivors make about her. And the second thing actually DOES factor into gameplay, and was even obliquely referenced in this video: Deerclops is nearsighted. This is legitimately the reason she often won't attack you directly; she's myopic and literally might not even see you. Thank goodness Wagstaff never decided to make goggles for her. Hope this was a fun little bit of trivia for you. Hope you've had a wonderful holiday! Stay safe, stay warm, and don't starve!
Future DST update spoiler - Wagstaff makes goggles for her! 😆
Another great video! always coming up with great quality. I never really fought the deerclops directly lol I tended to move close to walrus or had the pigmen fight my battles for me 😂
Welp - now I think you're obligated to take it on yourself!!
@@salendrak Yeah, now that I have a great guide available, I’ll try to conquer the deerclops next winter for sure lol
Yassssss! And let us all know how it goes!
i lovvve your vids.. Thank u.. so helpful and entertaining
Thanks!!
Before I discovered your channel I rarely made it past day 10! I've not made it past day 23 yet, mostly I die because I'm bad at dodging attacks
Keep at it - you'll get there!!
I can't believe you managed to find the REAL DEERCLOPS for your intro! It must have been scary! =O
I'm still scared to walk alone at night when there's snow! 😆
Loved the intro
I still have the scars 😆
dude i watched this as i got my first base all in nice decorations now, demolished because i never thought the game would warn you about the sound/ moan deerclops make if they are going to spawn, end of story, i died and got ressurected with my first touchstone and fucking fuming because the least thing i can do is to kill the bitch for wrecking havock on my base! Good thing i saw your summer season on RoG and prep some things on my touchstone! and i won :) I'm using Wendy without the help of Abigail! I just kited it out using a tentacle weapon, a football hat and log suit. Also, i'm going to find that second touchstone. This game is so addictive sometimes i just awake playing it because i have so much adrenaline haha
Sounds like some peak Don't Starve gameplay right there! I remember having several early-game deaths when I was just learning the game, and it usually just made me mad and want to start over and try again. Fun times!!
Best guide i ever watched 👌
Wow - Thanks!! 😁
Great! Tutorials!
Thanks!! 😁
I just started playing this week, I made it past day 34 then I died. The problem was that my winter hat broke Idk why, and I didn’t know about player temperature and because I didn’t spend too much time near the fire pit all my trips for resources couldn’t last more than 10 seconds, this left me with very few resources for spring. I was lucky the deerclops didn’t spawn. Thank you, my games are lasting longer and hopefully I will make it past my first year soon. P.D. I play on iPad but tomorrow I’ll switch to PC, and I play with Willow.
I've played on my phone a bit, and VASTLY prefer to play the game on a PC. Controls are better, you don't have "paused" interruptions every time you move something in your inventory, combat is WAY easier, and it's a whole lot less buggy! Great job getting through your first winter though! Most worn clothing items degrade over time as they are worn, so keep an eye on the remaining % durability, and either craft a replacement ahead of time or top it up with a sewing kit before it breaks.
Enjoyed the intro! Keep it up 🤣
Yay! Not gonna lie, that intro still cracks me up every time I watch it, and I made the darned thing! 😆
i thought you had like a million subscribers or something, your content's really entertaining!
Someday!!
I took a lil break from Don't Starve but I'm back and ready for PAIN.
This is the way.
i have around 500 hours on dst and 120 on solo, and for that i have to say this is an amazing series holy shit
Thanks - much appreciated!
@@salendrak i want to clarify i was a lying BITCH here im only now getting 500 on dst and dont know how many i have on solo
I love ur vids! They helped me a lot ! Keep up the good stuf! ~Also is sping guide coming?
In a couple of weeks! Currently working on a special project (see community post for teaser) but after that the next guide is combat, and then I'll do Spring 👍
I just started a new world and haven't even explored the whole map nor made a base and I've already found 4 walrus camps that are all relatively close together! 2 are super close to some clockworks with a rook so I'm excited for the chaos of winter LOL
But I've been careless and already died twice so we'll see if I get to see any of the chaos. I feel like even when I've improved so much I can still die from stupid things like starvation (I'm playing Wigfrid so at least I wasn't playing a character without dietary restrictions. That would've been really careless) 😂
Fundamental principle of Don't Starve - no need to fight something if you can get something else to fight it for you!! In my Wagstaff series I've got a Tallbird next really close one of the walrus camps. Always fun to see who is winning during their winter brawls!
The intro was low-key cute lol
With the number of times I have murdered poor Wilson making these videos, I figured it was time for me personally to take one for the team 😆
Keep up the good work! can u make some sort of battle taticts video with kiting? thanks for the information!
That'll be the next video in this series, which will probably be sometime in November (going to do some Terraria guides, and probably some playthrough episodes for both Wagstaff and Terraria first).
We need a video for other mobs please. I like your way of playing. Thanks
Combat guide will likely arrive in early December 👍
I fought clops one on one for the first time yesterday, got armored up, cooked up a ton of health and sanity food, and then realized I was holding a spear. fought all day before dying to a terror beak. Suited up back at base and this time ran in with a ham bat, poked him once and he fell over dead, I was *this* close to killing deerclops with a spear
Doh! Sounds about right though! I've done it plenty of times with a spear though. Just takes longer!
Best intro ever
😁
Not silly, awesome! xD
I still giggle every time I watch that intro 🤣
this helped a lot
Great!!
Deerclops killed me... Thank for the advise I will try to use it more efficiently on my next run :D
Doh! No worries though - most bosses kill most players at least a time or two before they get them down. Death is a great teacher - I'm sure you'll do better next time!!
I killed him :D
@@yameroooo WOOOOOHOOOO!!! Great job!! How was the fight this time?
@@salendrak just a normal fight the only problem I got was that dogs apeared
@@yameroooo Yeah, they do like to do that - I've had it happen several times. Best bet when that does happen is to just run around Deerclops with the dogs chasing you, and eventually they'll fight each other. Pretty funny, really 😁
Your content is so underated
Thanks! Someday maybe I'll be properly rated, but hopefully never overrated!! 😆
@@salendrak Keep going and u will success cuz u deserve that
4:18 I would say the pengulls, because they are sooooooooooooo much
Just picked up. Winter killed me pretty soon the last time i played. Watched all your guides today. Will see how well I do
Awesome - keep us posted on how far you get this time around!
@@salendrak god damn I got really faar! Your exploration method did absolute wonders for me. Still searching a place for a base. Crossing my fingers for winter
@@AliNoor-uw1yk Nice! Don't stress too much about where to set up a base, as there is no "right" answer for any given world, and it mostly comes down to personal preference. I generally go for the middle of the world somewhere, preferably in green grassy areas, and usually not too close to the coast because pengulls are annoying 😉
@@salendrak hell. A clockwork bishop killed me. Well there's always next time
Doh! I'm guessing you maybe didn't have armor when the Bishop got you? They are easy to take down, but you have to run in and kill them fast - with armor on!!
I'M MAD. I survived for around 28 days, I started preparing for deerclops at around day 25, I couldn't get a Hambat, so I decided to stock up on Tentacle Spikes, after all, there were plenty due to a swamp nearby with spiders and merms. So I got sanity food, health food, armor, and even a Life Giving Amulet, but the STUPIDEST thing happened. While I was looking for Tentacle Spikes, I saw a bunch of spider glands, I wanted them for healing during the fight, but turns out there was a Tentacle just WAITING for me, so as soon as I went to grab the glands, I got destroyed by the Tentacle.
Been there - done that! Reasons why I almost never go into the swamp to do anything other than run through it without armor on!
Love the intro
Heheh - thanks! I still chuckle a bit each time I watch that 😂
@@salendrak tonight my playgroup has met for the first time the deerclops but it was much more enraged with a red eye and shot us with laser from it. We all died badly...
@@Pizzi96XD Yeah - he get's cyborg supercharged for the winterfest event, and shoots a laser - OUCH!! Even still, if you all have armor and fresh ham bats, you should be able to rush and take it down!
@@salendrak I guess next time we will be more prepared ahahahha
6:46 This is me when I'm murdering walruses in the woods
It's a fun pastime!!
2:41 well, I use the rabbit earmuffs when I get king of winter in the first world, so I use it always.
Yeah, King of Winter is a whole different story. In that one you use whatever you can get whenever you can get it, while also feeling free to BURN ALL THE THINGS!! Digging up grassy tufts and saplings works great for campfire fuel, and in a pinch can also be re-planted and burned with a torch if there aren't any trees around!
@@salendrak there was a time when I spawned and the first world hadn't the thing. Bug or unluck?
I just do what you do, your pattern is hit it 3 times and run and go back attacking. I also complete winter thanks. I feel so good when I kill it thank you :)
Awesome!!
Thanks
When are you going to show next video? your guide is amazing
Next Don't Starve guide video will be either next week or the week after most likely. But there will also be another Wagstaff video in there too!
@@salendrak Im waiting for it ^^. Btw how often are you making these videos?
finally beat deerclops and was really happy went back to put the eye in my chest then i ate it by accident
Yup - been there, done that! You're not alone!!
Hey man you've been uploading more keep up the good work idk if u remember me
Yeah I do - we've chatted a bit a couple of times. Currently trying to put out at least one video a week - so far so good, and I'm definitely getting faster at making them!
I used hambat and marble suit, tanks all damage, fast kill, sure a bit scratched and crazy, but fighting with your figment of imagination helps a bit with your mental state
Yeah - for just standing there and tanking the marble suit works GREAT! I haven't tested it with Deerclops, but can you take him down with just one marble suit? Or do you need to have backup armor?
Sadly I died failing to fight properly and didn't get to reach winter but another great video!
In Don't Starve, dying is all part of the learning process! Don't sweat it, and (most likely) you'll do better next time! 👍
If you plan to tank Deerclops, stand near a campfire to not be freeze by Deerclops attack
Wow - Can't believe I forgot to mention that!!
@@salendrak regardful of your part for responding this comment in video from 1 year ago. Your guides are really good! They are useful and entertaining, even for more skilled players
u got my like in the first 10 seconds
Yay!! Live action intro for the win!! 😁
I'm just starting out on DSTogether and your guides are amazing!! Do you have steam?
Thanks! Yup - have steam. That's where I got Terraria and Don't Starve from! Why do you ask?
Nice intro ;)
That one still makes me chuckle when I watch it 🤣
@@salendrak Indeed nice. So don't even doubt ;) Even the timing of the sounds r good! MMMOOORE...of these enjoyable things, please ;)
I wish I had seen your guides before I first played... do you plan on making guides for hamlet?
Eventually perhaps, but to be completely honest, I've never played it and know basically nothing about it! But I'm thinking of doing a 10k subscriber livestream playthrough or something in Hamlet. I'll probably die a lot, and it will be glorious! 😂
Tysm survived my first winter but sadly it isn't guaranteed in ds pocket edition that deer deerclops spawn :(
That's true for all of the giants in single player Don't Starve. They allegedly only have a 66% chance to spawn in any given season on default settings. So usually you'll get them, but you can also go for several years without seeing a specific giant!
My first time "defeating" deerclops was just me bringing him to a grove of tree guardians
Whatever works!!
4:58 I usually freeze it with an ice staff, or when I get the tusk I kite the dart. It's not too difficult.
Yup, those methods also work great. Only reason I didn't include ice staff in this video is that most beginner's probably don't start dabbling into the magic tab that early. But ice staffs can be a lot of fun!
@@salendrak well, it's not so difficult. You only need 4 rabbits, some silk, some boards, a spear and a blue gem. Nothing difficult. The real difficulty is getting living logs when there are no totally normal trees and you're too lazy ehm...i mean you tried sooo much but treeguards do not spawned.
Finally
No one told me the deerclops could SHOOT LAZERS
Yeah, that's a DST Winterfest thing - good times!! 🤣
Dude you're like the Nintendo power hotline of the 21st century
Omg - I totally used to use that when I was a kid!
Silliness 10/10
😁
I did last 9 days. Very hard game and to start from scratch it kind of annoying :) but was fun.
Yeah, it's best to not get too attached to any particular world when you're first learning the game, as death is the most likely eventual outcome 😉
@@salendrak yeah I noticed and thats why when I want to play a game I prefer Oxygen Not Included. I do start over in Oni as well but not this frequent. I feel I am not progressing
made me smile so hard
What did? Me getting ganked by a deerclops while camping??!! 😆
@@salendrak that and your humor, just love it
I want to know is deer clobs in all dont starve like ( rog and together ) I dont know if i have him ,I have dont starve vanilla so i dont know if deer clobs will come or not i played 4 times died 2 at fall and 1 at the start of winter now i started a new run and because of your tips i have a better start thank you❤❤❤
Yup - whether you're playing vanilla or Reign of Giants, Deerclops has a chance of showing up during winter. It isn't guaranteed though, so sometimes you might go a winter or more without seeing her.
@@salendrak Thank you😊😊❤️
I had no idea what was happening when the ground was shaking on my first night of winter
First night of winter had the ground shaking?! Unless you turned up the spawn rate of giants, that shouldn't happen barring a Clockwork Rook being in the area. What ended up happening?!
@@salendrak It may have been because I made autumn long and the other seasons short. It's my first playthrough so I wanted to have an easier time of everything. It stomped my whole camp and I rage quit lol
This guide will finally take me past winter. It feels like I'm cheating with Wigfrid tho. Face tanking just about anything because I don't want to learn kiting in pocket edition. Hordes of spiders, werepigs, hounds and I hope I survive a face tanking fight with Deerclops very soon
Kiting is much harder in pocket edition, so tanking with Wigfrid is definitely a sound strategy. Just make sure you always have backup armor and you should be fine!
