Don't Starve: Challenges

By geedorah and 1 collaborators

We all know Don't Starve can be a very hard game sometimes. But if you want a REAL challenge, you've come to the right page. A friend and I have been coming up with challenges on the world preset option. To get to the world preset option you must create a new world, then select the WORLD option, there you can customize your world.

These challenges will be in order from easiest to hardest.

Comments

Challenge No. 1: Sparse

Challenge Difficulty: Not Too hard
Character Requirement: Random

In the World Preset, set everything to less and the seasons to very short.

In this world, everything is limited, so you should use your resources carefully and depending on the character, wisely. I suggest making tree farms and berry farms soon, and building pig houses for fertilizer.

Challenge No. 2: Darkness

Challenge Difficulty: HARD
Character Requirement: Willow/TheFireStarter

In the World Preset set the Day Option to "Night Only"
You can do whatever you want with the other options.

To cut down trees when in the dark, DO NOT equipped your axe, you must drag it from your inventory bar to the tree. Be very quick! Once you are done, equipped your light quickly!

MAC: Mac users must set their mouse to secondary button in the System Preferences application!

Challenge No. 3: Insanity

Challenge Difficulty: EXTREMELY HARD
Character Requirement: WX78/The Soulless Automon

In the World Preset, go to Day and select "Day Only", rain will be selected as "Lots" (don't worry, you don't loose damage too fast), lightning will also be selected as "Lots", flowers are also selected "Lots".

You will not loose damage too fast from the rain (-1 every 3 seconds), but your sanity will slowly decrease. The lightning will make your sanity decrease drastically, but it will make your health go back up to 100. The flowers are there to help you, but your sanity will be 0 most of the time.

Challenge No. 4: Frostbite

Challenge Difficulty: ULTRA HARD
Character Requirement: Willow/TheFireStarter

In the World Preset, set the season to "Only Winter". If you want to make it easier for yourself, you can put "Only Day" if you want.

You can barely go anywhere without freezing to death, you can use Willow's lighter to set stuff on fire to keep warm, but it will most likely start a forest fire.

Challenge No. 5: Chaos

Challenge Difficulty: OVER 9000!
Character Requirement: Wendy/The Bereaved or Wolfgang/TheStrongMan
(Reign Of Giants DLC recommended!)

In the World Preset, all creatures that will attack you must be selected to "Lots", Day must be selected to "Dusk Only".

When I played this, I couldn't even get passed Day 1! But I had the Reign Of Giants DLC on, so that DLC is definitely recommended or else it will probably will not be as hard.

Challenge No. 6: Limbo

Challenge Difficulty: LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE
Character Requirment: Any

Everything is set to NONE...

This is impossible to survive! There are no resources anywhere, only some trees near special things.

im curious what the caves are like in limbo, i tried it before reading this post, but i wonder A: how to aquire the pick (i think i thought of one but i forgot)
B: would the berries, trees, etc not exist in there but other things do

I came up with a challenge that isn't a world preset related one.
I call it "The Torchbearer"
Basically, you play as Willow and you can't unequip the lighter (do not use DST, because then the lighter has durability). You can't craft traps either, and your only source of food is the stuff you can pick up.

I got a harder idea! Name - Not so " Alone "

Character recommended - Any... Especially mods characters

Difficulty - Nah... not so " Impossible "

Set everything to NONE but set ALL monsters to - Lots and Set the day to " Dusk only " Also... Put Lots of rain to simulate the " Not so alone " Feeling!

Last one isn't impossible. I did it once with Webber and got to day 6 by survivng on the spiders produced from the spider den he carries. Also I did it once with a TF2 Heavy mod and survived on sandviches!
