Adventure Mode | Adventure Mode Don't Starve Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Adventure Mode is a special game mode that starts after you walk through the so called Maxwell's Doors. The adventure is about beating, at most, 5 game worlds, generated out of the pool of 6 different types. As you are starting the adventure mode, you need to know that::

1. If you die in the adventure mode, you are transferred back to the world which you came from. If you cross the door again, the Adventure Mode starts over from the very beginning.

2. to beat a world, you need to create a special machine using 4 items scattered around that world: Crank Thing, Box Thing, Metal Potato Thing and Ring Thing. Once you collect the items, you need to put all of them into the Wooden Thing, to create a portal to the next world.

3. After you teleport to the new world, there will appear the Divining Rod next to your character. It is a portable piece of equipment that will allow you to locate Things (like the Box Thing), by emitting more airwaves the closer you are.

4. As you teleport across worlds, you can only take 4 items with you. All of the remaining ones need to be dropped before the teleportation.

5. Crossing Maxwell's Doors replenishes statistics like fitness and sanity. This does not happen, though, during teleportation between worlds.

General hints

 

1. Because your statistics do not regenerate while teleporting, you should always replenish them before you teleport, to the maximum. It is a good idea to use Crock Pots for that.

2. Do not build large camps while playing in the Adventure mode. You should rather focus on finding the necessary parts as quickly as possible and teleporting over to the next world.

3. An item that you should take with you over to the next world is the Walking Cane. It is very useful because it speeds you up, and can be used as an indestructible weapon. The easiest way to craft it is while in The King of Winter world, as it requires a Walrus Tusk, dropped by the dead MacTusk. This enemy appears only in winter. More about this enemy can be found in the chapter entitled "Bosses".

4. After you beat the second world, pig forts will start to appear. These are full of aggressive animals so, you need to be very careful around them. You should also arm yourself with a Hammer. You can use it to prevent new pigs from appearing.

5. In the Adventure Mode you can encounter portals blocked off with black obelisks. They are identical to the ones standing around the Pig King To cross them, you will have to decrease your sanity below 30, which exposes you to the appearance of hallucinations.

Wes

In the Adventure Mode you can unlock a mime character named Wes. You can find it next to the two sculptures of Maxwell, which appear in different worlds at random. To free Wes, you need to use the pickaxe against the sculptures and smash them, and then defeat the attacking Clockwork Bishops and Clockwork Knights. As soon as the last remaining enemy drops dead, you will regain your sanity and gain access to the rescued character.
