Overview
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.
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.
