You need to do this 5 times to complete adventure mode and unlock Maxwell as a playable character for " The Puppetmaster," while making sure to look for Wes the Mime in the third world for " The Silent."ĭying in adventure mode will take you back to survial mode outside of Maxwell's door where you have to start adventure mode all over again.Ĭomplete Adventure Mode to unlock Maxwell. The goal of adventure mode is collect the 4 Things (Box Thing, Ring Thing, Metal Potato Thing, and Crank Thing) and combine them with the Wooden Thing to make a portal to travel to the next world. In fact, your experience is only added to your total when you die or complete a world by traveling through a portal in survival mode.Īdventure mode can only be accessed by finding Maxwell's door in survival mode. You do not have to survive for 80 days in one game, it can be done over multiple games. Your goal in survival mode is to survive for 80 days to unlock Woody, and to build and use an Accomploshrine 720 times. While they are not hard to kill, there is always a risk that they will get lucky and kill you. You could also turn off the Tree Guard and Poison Birchnut tree if you don't want to have to worry about being attacked for cutting down too many trees. You may want to lower or turn off amount of rain in your world (especially if you are playing as WX-78) though it should be noted, crops grow 3 times faster in rain, and picked mushrooms will only respawn after it has rained.Įvery 3-13 days you will be attacked my hounds unless you have them turned off in the settings (they will still spawn in the world at hound mounds unless you also turn those off). You can make it only day, but certain things only happen at dusk or night (Mushroom's, Fireflies, Mandrakes, Bunnymen etc) so I would recommend setting your game "Long Day." Winter and summer are considered the dangerous seasons, where you can either freeze or overheat, so you may want to change them to either short (11 days) or very short (5 days).Īutumn and spring are considered the safer seasons (though it does rain a lot in spring) so you may want to set them to either long (31 days) or very long (50 days) and then set your season start to autumn (it's easier to prepare for winter than summer). Reign of Giants has 4 seasons instead of the original 2. When creating your game world you are able to change a lot of settings without effecting the achievements.Ī couple of settings that will make your game easier: You can only enter adventure mode by finding Maxwell's door and entering it in survival mode, so you have to start in survival mode first. There are two game modes in Don't Starve: survival and adventure. Sigfrid (survive for 96 days in survival mode) and Webber (find his skull by killing spiders, and then bury it in a dug up grave). There are two unlockable characters that do not have an achievement attached to them. There is a lot to do in this game that is not connected to achievements (boss fights, exploring, etc), so if you are only play for achievements this game may seem a little boring. A great source of Don't Starve information can be found at the Wikia Here.
Does difficulty affect achievements: No, you can change the world settings to whatever you want and not miss out on achievements.ĭon't Starve is a great little survival game with very uninspired achievements. Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 Approximate amount of time to 1000 : 11 Hours in Survival, 4-5 hours in Adventure Mode.
