Overview
This guide will give you some tips on how to survive in the new Dont Starve dlc Shipwrecked
Tips
On islands bamboo and vines can be harvested via the machete but be wary there is a chance that snakes will spawn when you harvest this resource. This also goes for trees.
When you harvest trees you also have a chance to get eggs and banana’s.
You can hammer spoiled fish for 2 bone shards.
Coconuts and limpits are a very good early game source of food.
Be careful when using boats because they have durability from just being used.
In the deep ocean you can hit a wave and it will give you a short speed boost but it will also get you wet and damage your boat unless you hit it at the right angle.
Be careful about making your home base on a beach shoreline because when the tide is in it can get you and all your items extremely wet as well as instantly putting out any fire you may have on at the moment.
When it is low tide you can pick up sea shells which as you pick them up give you a pretty good sanity boost and you can use the seashells to make sandcastles which are used to majorly increase your sanity when standing next to it but it will eventually fall down.
You can find gambling machines around the world which you can put dubloons in and get cool loot but be careful because poison mosqitoes can come out and kill you.
There are 2 types of snakes the regular and a poisonous one. The poisonous snakes are marked with yellow. If you get bit by a poisonous snake you get a permanent poison debuff which will eventually take all your HP. To cure this poison you need to either kill and poisonous snake or a warrior spider. Once you have the poisonous gland all you need is some sea weed and coral and your cured.
A Chimera is a item that is used to block wind from your fire so it doesn’t go out. It takes 2 limestone 2 sand and 2 wood.
Palm leaf hut can be used to stop you from being wet so use them during hurricane season.
In the middle of the ocean you might sometimes come across a glowing triange if you enter it, it will act as a worm hole and teleport you to a different one.
Seashell armor stops you from being poisoned from the mosquitoes,snakes and spiders.
The gasmask will also stop you from being poisoned from the stingray and the poison cloud.
There is a low chance that gears will be dropped from sand piles.
If you kill a blue whale a blue whale carcass will appear then you can wait a few days come back and hack it away for loot.
You can get venom glands from digging poison holes in swamps.
Webber is REALLY good because he can eat all that monster meat you are gonna get from kill all of the snakes.
If you hit a monkey all the monkeys around you will run and through manure at you and you will lose sanity.
The butterflies are cool.
