In the latest update of Don’t Starve Together on June 6th, we saw the introduction of Don’t Starves latest character Wormwood. As with most of Don’t Starve’s characters, Wormwood comes with his own unique abilities and characteristics:
I personally cannot wait to get my hands on Wormwood! I picked up a Mandrake the other day in one of my games and Wormwood reminds me of my new love! I wasn’t aware Mandrake’s were so rare until now.
As a trade-off, players can use Manure, Guano, or Bucket-o-poop to regain 2 Health. I still recommend sticking to Honey Poultice or Healing Salves for healing, though using Manure in the early game can come in handy.
Special Power (Hamlet )
Main article: Green Thumb Tab
Wormwoods main perk is access to the exclusive Green Thumb Tab. This gives him the ability to craft 5 unique items. These items are:
Wormwood can plant Seeds and Crop Seeds without a Farm. Seeds planted this way take four days to grow fully, and they yield the same foods that they would if grown on a farm. He can plant seeds on most turfs, excluding things such as Rocky Turf, Checkerboard Flooring, and Volcanic Turf. These plants look the same as if grown on farms, and if burned before reaching full growth they yield Cooked Seeds.
He can fertilize himself with Manure, Guano, or Bucket-o-poop to regain 2 . A Bucket-o-poop can be used this way five times, for a total of 10 .
No Food item changes his health in any way, so items such as Monster Lasagna can be consumed without taking any damage.
Snaptooth Seedlings, Snaptooth Flytraps, Hanging Vines, and Eyeplants are neutral towards him. Snaptooth enemies will still attack Wormwood if he carries any meat items (including eggs) too close to them, so caution should be taken.
Wormwood blooms in Spring, Monsoon Season and Lush Season in three stages, gaining a faster walking speed and higher hunger drain depending on the stage. This effect increases until 2/3 of the way through the season, when his blossom will close up and he reverts to his normal form during the last 1/3 of the season.
| Stage | Movement Speed Multiplier | Hunger Drain Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1.06 | 1.33 |
| 2 | 1.13 | 1.66 |
| 3 | 1.2 | 2 |
During the third stage of blooming, Wormwoods flower will open up and a small particle effect of pollen will begin to fall from his head. In addition to this, everywhere he steps in this form will begin to grow small tufts of grass and flowers. This trail of flowers and grass is more than cosmetic, however, and will attract Bees. This generally results in them attacking Wormwood due to their more aggressive Spring or Monsoon form, so caution should be taken. The bees may play the animation as though pollinating these flowers, but they will not generate honey using them. It should be noted that while the flowers are only visible during the peak of Wormwoods blooming phase, Bees are attracted to him throughout all of Monsoon, Spring, and Lush season.
Wormwood is immune to Hay Fever, which usually comes during the Lush Season.
As said above, Food items will neither increase nor decrease Wormwoods health. This limits the usefulness of items such as Dragonpie and Pierogi, restricting him to non-edible healing items.
In addition, Wormwood loses when most plants near him are destroyed within a five-tile radius, even if the damage is not caused by him.
There is no sanity drain associated with some plants, such as Weathered Trees, Ferns and Spiky Bushes.
Wormwood also catches fire more easily than other characters. Wormwood is able to be frozen by the Ice Flingomatic in a similar way to mobs. It will take two projectiles from the Ice Flingomatic in quick succession to freeze him. Wormwood is also vulnerable to the effects of Smoldering in Summer, although this is very rare.
In Hamlet worlds, he spawns near three Rocks and four Ancient Walls instead of the Hot Air Balloon (which could otherwise be hammered for resources). There is still a Machete nearby.
How do I keep Wortox sane?
To easily farm Souls, players can keep a few Flowers around their base and kill the Butterflies that spawn. This method also allows the player to easily regain sanity by catching, planting, and picking Butterflies.
