Don't Starve - Endless Bosses #1: A Giant Struggle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- Endless Bosses is a hardmode twist to Don't Starve's "lots of giants" preset; giants/bosses are spawned every few days, I'm unable to eat anything but raw food from farms, and some health will be deducted for every second that I'm too far from the boss so that I can't run away.
I've uploaded the mod to Steam and Klei's site if you want to try it for yourself:
bit.ly/EndlessB...

While in Reign of Giants, the potential bosses are:
Deerclops, Dragonfly, Bearger, Moose/Goose + Moslings, Spiderqueen, and Varg.
While in Shipwrecked, the potential bosses are:
Tiger Shark and Twister.
I've excluded the Ancient Guardian, Quacken, and Treeguards because I feel that they'd only be helpful.

I like how he was casually walking and talking while deerclops is chasing him
Faraj Gasimov well he cant exactly punch it
pleasantly
to be fair, deerclops is probably one of the easiest bosses in the game
Salty Spitoon Guy: "Welcome to the Salty Spitoon! How tough are ya?"
Joeshmocoolstuff: "How tough am I? How tough am I?! I survived in Don't Starve with the Endless Bosses mod installed as Wes!"
Salty Spitoon Guy: "So?"
Joesmocoolstuff: "Without using the Pile 'o Balloons."
Salty Spitoon Guy: "Right this way sir!"
and without eating most foods
Dude this is I N S A N E.
I can't even beat classic DS and you are sitting here doing this challenge. I applause you sir. Well played, you earned a sub!
Appreciate it! Hope you enjoy.
Why does u even took Wes? He is the weakest at all. U wanna more challenge or why u took him ? ^^
the weaker they are...the louder they bark! he's using the weakest one to make things more difficult and in doing so, he's making things more challenging to complete.
\myprogram / same. I can't even get past summer. ;-;
It's not even the heat or anything, it's stupid reasons like forgetting to bring grass out on an expedition and it going dark, or being raped by 5 mooslings...
no lantern/miners hat in summer/winter. You seriously should have that item by the max day 15
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK?! YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING WITH ME DUDE! HOW!? TELL ME THE DEMON THAT YOU SOLD YOUR SOUL TO GET THOSE MAD SKILLS AND THOSE GIANT BALLS TO MAKE THIS CHALLENGE!
ummm satan?
*G I A N T B A L L S*
Walk to a freaking deerclop "yeah would be nice if i could find some pigs and poop"
deerclops is easy
Man, im like, 30% to the skill cap (mostly Dfly, Bearger, and Cave/Ruins mobs. I play Together mostly and my friends eat all the damned food and my wolfgang can't hold up) and on my first try against Deerclops and I got a flawless kill. Deerclops is super easy.
Lolwutman6 that just means you know how to kite. Flawless to players who know what they are doing.
12:41
*wes almost dies but builds a farm and eats corn*
pigman: too close!
indeed, indeed
Wes: Giant Deerclops chasing me? Eh, let me go pick some flowers over here.
(well I mean he'd just be thinking that he doesn't talk)
Verse G. well he cant exactly harm it with air
Funny how I feel like a pro for feeding off of butterfly wings, Butter Muffins, and Tallbirds, whereas you're playing as Wes, fighting off a Deerclops. At night. Tell me where I can get those titanium balls!
Your Dude "fighting off" spends most time just causally walking away because he had no weapons yet
Where ever you are Josh we miss you and we’d love for you to come back now 😔
Time to time i keep coming back to see this amazing Josh run. We all missed him i guess, I hope he is in good health
Aaaah, old series I watched 4 years ago when I couldnt even write a sentence without a lot of mispelling, such nostalgia, I kinda miss ya joe
You are the god of this community
The fuck dude I can't even survive a full winter.
literatemax lol I know how it feels 😂
literatemax I know I was doing so good and winter came and was like BOOM FUCK YOU HAHAHAHHA
The fuck dude get good.
Winter is easy, summer is annoying as hell.
literatemax winters ezy i started the adventure mode to get maxwell (and maybe wes) but mostly maxwell so i started it as the robot and immidiently i would either spawn winter or spring and i hoped for winter because in spring it rains every couple of seconds so i would get fucked by rain alone
had to replay the introduction about the mod 3 times to determine if playing Wes was a requirement... realizes that it's not.... don't know whether to be impressed or worried about how this guy thinks..
>Plays Wes
DUDE! DUUUDE!
Sumaru Chwan he only plays Wes to get a harder challenge
Sumaru Chwan wes is op
wes attacks faster than your strongman
Sumaru Chwan i main wes
Casually picking grass and twigs while being chased by a deerclops, now that‘s what I call a legend
Just watching the farming in the beginning gave me anxiety hahah
is just so depressing when your little Wimpy Wilson is starving and he leaves 8/9/7 piecies of meat alone ;-;
MrBubbles yeah I feel you
This is the most intense series I've seen about this game. I was also looking to learn some nice tricks and this is just about right. Props to you sir, you're great
casually picks flowers for future poop while being chased by deerclops on day 1 as Wes. True DS legend.
Guy who doesn't know don't starve watches vid
Thinks, easy. I'll get to day 5000.
Gets the game, installs the mod, dies in the first minute
*Guy who doesn't know don't starve watches vid
Thinks, easy. I'll get to day 5000.
Gets the game, dies in the first minute
gino meier That was me lol
That was kinda me but I started to learn the game mechanics for a month or two before starting this challenge... I sucked at first but managed to hang on thanks to the goddess of luck and once I got a few farms and bee boxes going it became fairly easy as I was good at kiting the bosses... Died on day 783 because I got cocky and attacked my own rock lobster army
I like the comment, I cannot like due to me breaking the magical 69. Sorry for the loss of one karma
Saw this mod on the workshop, saw the description "made for a UA-cam series" thought "hey that's unique". Months later. I'm watching the series
Challenge Request: The ultimate gourmet(picky-eater) who eats every food once but only once, and survives a year. It's like the ultimate version of your Bingo collection game combining with a Warly-like picky-eating behavior. You'll be literally "starving" through the whole game.
It's much like Warly's timer to be set like forever rather than 1.75 days. You should try every kind of food for once but only once, you remember every food you ate and refuse to give them a second try (or don't get benifit from a second try). And you have to survives a year. You shouldn't use Healing Salves when you're starving since it'll be a bit cheaty with setting up a Spider Gland farm to survive.
I did a calculation (based on the Wikia page dontstarve.wikia.com/wiki/Food) for the concept and theoretically it's possible. All kinds of foods (raw and cooked version are considered as two kinds) in RoG and SW makes up to a total hunger value of 3599.4125 (DST and Warly's special recipes excluded) which could only make normal characters (75 hunger drain per day) survive for 48 days. But with Belt of Hunger you can make it to 80 days, and thats longer than a year in DS.
Warly should be the perfect character for this personality and to my suprise he actually could be more difficult than normal characters on this task. Even with his special recipes, bonus from crock pot foods and a Belt of Hunger, he can only make to (4048.96+250)/(99.75x0.6)=71.8 days, merely longer than a year in RoG but shorter than a year in SW. It means you should rush for Belt of Hunger in 2 days and use every kind of foods for maximum utilization to achieve this goal. So I'd like you play this challenge with Warly. It could be an impossible task for Wes ( (3599.4125+113)/(93.75x0.6)=66 so theoretically Wes can't do that even with Belt of Hunger from the every first day.
I think of this idea because when I finished watching all your challenge videos, I immediately became your big fan but I'm still not satisfied with all the challenge videos. I'm both impressed by your ideas and skills shown in the early games, and bored by the repetitious part in the late games. For example your Endless Bosses & Only Farm Foods Eating challenge is really a thriller to watch from the very first episodes, but once you set up your base with a stack of pumpkins, things are starting to get repetitious and tame. I watched a lot of pro gamers play and they never really "starve" like the what the game title is about. I consider myself experienced and doesn't quite "starve" in the game, but with this concept I'm really starving. I'd like to see if you'll "starve" with this concept and I guess it'll be challenging and fun.
That's an excellent idea. I'm a bit inundated with other stuff at the moment, but I will definitely do this at some point. Thanks!
Looking forwards to your updates :)
Oh I also just reconsidered it and found that it's actually possible with Wes but he should be taking at least 24 starving damage per day to survive 70 days even with Belt of Hunger from the first day. Never mind, that will be too tough for Wes I guess...
magnil Great idea!

👍🏻😀
Hi Joeshmocoolstuff, right now I'm modding a Warly MOD for this challenge concept and found Warly's default hunger modifier doesn't work like Wes's, the challenge can't be done by default. You may wanna modify warly.lua file a bit if you start this challenge.
I guess you should know how to modify it since you're also a great modder. I'll just drop it here in case anyone else interested in this challenge:
change
inst.components.hunger:AddBurnRateModifier("warly", TUNING.WARLY_HUNGER_RATE_MODIFIER)
to
inst.components.hunger:SetRate(TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE*1.33)
Also I just started a topic on reddit and I'd be glad to hear your opinions. You could use that MOD when you start the challenge.

You're one of my new favorite don't starve youtubers. I just got into your channel recently, and love how you have minimal commentary, I find it very relaxing. keep up the good work!
Thanks! I appreciate it. :-)
There was a mod on steam that basically buffed the Giants greatly and gave them new abilities and made them harder to Kill in general, especially the dragonfly.
Watching this again, you’re a legend jo
I love the commentary text in the game play as well as how intense this mod is. Good show
I started watching your vids after discovering your AM speedrun vid, and damn you're good at the game and explaining stuff clearly for the uninitiated. Love your vids.
However, as I start to watch this series, I felt like the farm veggie limitation kinda came out of left field. I get that you want extra challenges, but why was the challenge set in the form of an arbitrary food limitation? The vid is entertaining I'm just wondering
It isn't arbitrary. I explained in the video. It makes things exciting. In the beginning, there is a time limit to defeat the first boss and get a farm up and running, and then after that it's a constant struggle to get enough farm food while giants are spawning all the while. If I'm allowed to eat anything, I can just lazily lead the first boss around the world like a pet on a leash, munching on berries and butterflies as I go, then when I do decide to kill the bosses, I wouldn't have to do much besides wait for the next meat-delivery vehicle (ahem.. boss) to spawn for my next shipment of food. If the bosses themselves were more challenging like they are in DST, then maybe it'd work without farm food.
Yeah I'll admit I skipped ahead just a bit after the premise part.
I understand that limitations/challenges are to be enforced to keep things interesting. All I'm saying is that I don't see why it is done in this particular fashion. When a farm veggie rule is set, I feel like a major part of the goal becomes poop gathering. But hey I can't come up with/suggest a "better" challenge myself anyway so I'll stop yappin.
I have to stress again that I love your videos, because I don't want to sound like a dick lol
Keep up the good work!
Not in the slightest. I find it interesting to talk about stuff like this. It'd be boring if there was never any substantive comments with real feedback.
Imagine this on together where there are so many more bosses like bee queen, klaus, toadstool, shadow pieces, and maybe fuelweaver, misery toads, and *ENRAGED KLAUS* later on because they are too damn powerful. Come to think of it, all of the aforementioned bosses are arguably harder to beat than the single-player bosses (except dragonfly for some) but hey, what do I know, I'm just rambling.
Oh yeah, and there's also antlion, but he hardly counts.
Sir I commend you ! I haven't played don't starve for a year now but when I saw your video and your Mod which I can say I'll have lots of fun since I will have to start from scratch . But still thank you so much for showing again the reason why I bought DS . it's because of the challenge in the game. You sir have a new subscriber
23:44 nice luring there. That aim is nice
Great job on this challenge. Thanks for sharing! It's a breath of fresh air to not hear the youtuber cussing enough to make a salty sailor blush!
It's fun to see all the boss mobs. I wish there was an easy mod that gives them 10% of max health for people who suck at this game, like me. xD
(life, hunger, and sanity buff would be nice too lol)
Your Sanity is like America, always dropping
Blueberry101 im american and i laughed at this
Blueberry101. Yep, because of the deers(i thought some sort of canadian joke, but now i feel stupid)
I want Ep 2 now!!! This Series is so gooood 😱😀
I haven't gotten to watching this whole series (YET) but i really wanted to give this a try and to my surprise, Im doing it!! not nearly as smoothly as you my man (I have to play wolfbang ((and beargrr destroyed my first base) but this mod will make you crazy good at fighting giants. I reccomend your channel and videos to all of my gamer friends
update: found a reed trap :D
Whoa you're taking this to a whole new level,man! I'm loving all the series ,keep it up :)
That was so intense to watch, thanks for these amazing challenges! Cant wait for the next episode, keep it up!
I don't usually watch let's plays but this one is the most interesting one I could find. Do you mind me asking you what program do you use to record?
Thanks! I use OBS.
Also another thing I wanted to ask you is how do you instantly drop items?
Xiemens When your inventory is full, you can right click to insta-drop whatever is on your cursor.
Joeshmocoolstuff Thanks, I learned a lot of things from your UA-cam channel! I'll definitely try out this mod all thought I don't think I'll survive long enough to see day 2.
This is how my first game went. prntscr.com/c8ftdf
Also if you see this comment, how do you deal with Dragonfly? I haven't fought him yet but I imagine he would burn everything.
seems really fun, hopefully you will have this be a series to go on for a while
I just love how much this channel has grown in the past few months, l can hardly believe around 6 months ago you had only 8 subs
I only got here when he had like 200-300 subs :D
Why none nightmare monster is attaking you while you had like 0 sanity?
There is a merely a chance that a shadow creature will spawn when you are below a threshold of sanity. It isn't a guarantee.
umdoistresquatru how do you deal with it when they DO spawn?
Artameful kill it
they dont always spawn every second
This makes me think about the "this is fine" dog meme.
I'm Sitting here getting my bottom handed to me by spider warriors here and you are making this mod...Well time for more Spycrab Deaths!
The raw farm food only is the most insane part I think. Bosses, even endlessly spawning ones, can be dealt with but man this whole thing is insane
Agreed. It wouldn't really push me that hard without the food restriction. I'm considering activating a touch stone for this. Or maybe I'll wait and make a meat effigy. Touch stone still feels cheaty, but this would be a good time to use it. Thinking about it now, I'd have to rework the mod a bit and teleport the boss to the player upon death or else it'd just be a guaranteed gameover.
To get to a slurper you'd need to go into a cave right? Since bosses can't follow I assume you'd just be losing health the whole time then?
No, the way I set it up, the boss is essentially detached from you if you go to another level. I just didn't consider that at the time. I'll fix it though. Maybe have them follow you or disallow going to another level when there's an active boss.
You never fail to amaze.
Mmmm, interesting. An endless boss mod, which allows you to have as many bosses as you want, and you must stay near them until they die. Cool!
*Picks Wes*
Aaaaand he goes and picks the most OP character....
1: THIS IS FUCKJNG INSANE AND AWESOME
2: You should commentate throughout the series like if y'all agree
Words cannot describe my anger when you didn't take deerclop's eyeball
Reading about how you're planning to stockpile pumpkins to survive the Winter reminded me of watching the movie 'The Martian' :-P
Rook clockwork: omae wa mou shindeiru
Varg: Nani?
And this year's insane award goes tooooooo...
Like the new outro Joe
Thanks!
You're a god i mean there's nothing to add you just beat the game in every way...
Pro tip: If you plant a seed and then burn it it'll will give you a cooked plant, it even works in Winter. Just make sure the fire doesn't spread or else the farm will burn too.
New sub here, really hardcore and nice serie. Keep em coming! シ
Pro tip, if you plant a seed and then burn it, it'll give you a cooked plant, it even works in winter.
This is god damn insane. I LOVE IT!
Jeez this dude is pro. Impressive stuff Schmo.
Just finished watching this video, and i gotta say, nice idea bro!
you should make a series on this
I am. Ep 2 is already out. :-)
+Joeshmocoolstuff Lol I just found out, watching it now keep it up man
Play mobile version for control difficulty kiting is extremely difficult most boss require ranged weapons it's almost hard mode and with Wes it is super hard mode
just explained how fucking hard the mod is. proceeds to choose wes
23:40 THAT WAS SO FUCKING SMOOTH
At the time you were to starving to death and when you made the first farm and ate the food one of the pigs said
"TOO CLOSE" too close indeed to dieing.
person who created a mod to spawn actual bosses immediately: oh crap, a varg. i hate those guys
me, someone who has yet to encounter a varg: oh........no
The only miniboss creature I hate more than Vargs are Ewecuses, because at least you can RUN from vargs. Ewecuses trap you in place and kick your teeth out. Their loot isn't even good, so they're not even a high-risk high-reward thing like Treeguards and vargs
You sir, are the definition of beast.
so you killed the dearclops with no armor with ease and you run from a varg and than what killed it?
the only boss I've ever been was sealnado with a herd of water beefalo I did almost nothing and your doing this I would die on the first one
So, we have the KING! of don't starve, yet I only see 7000 subscribers. I sense a presence. the presence of a load of bull.
Subscribed, I want to see the rest of this series.
do you have a mic? it would be awsome to have voice comentary over your videos
You should mod it so that only sweet potatoes grow in the wild and carrots can only be obtained through farming. Or vice versa.
awesome idea joesh
Wes: the first Vegan Survivor of The Constant. That is why the giants hate him so much
So... day one, no armor, fighting a deerclops at night with just a torch, in a swamp with merms and tentacles AND while playing on Wes...
Good work bro
I enjoyed a gameplay for the first time!!!
Wow that seems so hardcore I have trouble trying to survive in normal survival and wow how badass he looks just running from the deer clops like meh
If u can't use audio extend the length of the texts at the bottom often I find myself rewinding the video to see the entire text
Holy cow, I drop by here a few years later and there is voice?! :)
Why you hit butterflies with tentacle spike? It'll die I one hit anyway
+Timothy Starver (TimarioDStarver) I know but it's still very easy to kill butterflies with your fists
So what is the end goal of this challenge?
A lot of my other challenges are really limited and short, so I want this to be my main survival series where I build a megabase and explore everything the game has to offer. If I die, I'll just start over. At least, that's what I'm thinking now.
+Joeshmocoolstuff My only reaction to this comment was .___.
I had no clue deerclops ice animation wouldn't damage you... thought that was his range... though in DST its harder to judge due to latency
i like dont starve, they make DLC that people get hyped for
Ur a good youtuber it's hard to do well with don't starve but ur videos need audio. Dnt starve is hard to do well with in UA-cam because it isn't very popular. Ur videos are all original and interesting u earned a sub
YES! new series!
how come you didn't take the skeletons stuff?
He likes it to be harder
He dosent believe in boons
I was wondering why I couldn't eat anything when I got this mod
Love your channel, keep up the good work. 😊🤘
i think you are the best dont starve player
You should've put tree guard on this list, sure he's the weakest boss but I see him as a boss.
Wow I can’t even survive day 25 and your trying to kill a deeclops..geez your really good
strat : caught moose goose with tree cage then stay near it for health
leaves at summer so it's not infinite. and mgoose is easy to kill, moslings are real boss
Day six! That was an accomplishment. Died of starvation just as Dusk began. Playing as Webber, which was both a blessing and a curse as Spider Queens and the Spider Rockylands/Lumpy Forest generation protect you, but the mandatory spider queen locks you down to wherever it feels like walking.
I'll also say that while I made a lot of mistakes (making multiple improved farms, eating the pumpkin instead of feeding it to the bird) I kind of got screwed by bad luck getting Sweet Potatoes and Carrots from the farms, which annoyingly means that much of your survival is staked on your farm producing good crops instead of fodder. I would really like them to be edible, and there are two ways to remedy the random carrots- one, disable them by default or two, make the carrots gained from one of the sources a duplicate carrot which has the correct properties.
Nice! you definitely would have made it if not for those two mistakes. Yeah, the carrot thing is pretty annoying, but you can toggle carrots/potatoes on as an acceptable food in the mod config if you want.
"Made it", maybe for like five more days. I admittedly got relatively lucky with the Spider Queen being boss #1 (easy to kill with a torch) and the Varg being #2 (spider murder) but a traditional giant would have smashed the spiders. So maybe my luck balanced out.
It is a bit annoying to start taking ticks of damage because you can't find the giant that attacked you, though.
Day 11 and counting! Got the Thick Fur, which will help a lot with hunger management once I craft it.
At this point everything is staked on manure-fastgrowth working on winter crops. If not, death. Have like 50 seeds stocked and have the usual pumpkin seeds, so food won't be an issue so long as that all works out. Otherwise I'm probably dead.
anoobindisguise Crops don't grow during winter no matter what you do. That's why I need to get a stockpile of pumpkins before then.
No, they do, at least from what I've seen. Died to moose at day 21, oh well. Maybe they don't grow in snow, but they did in the short winter-based time that I was alive.
Also, it's really, really, really annoying to not be able to find the giant and be taking ticks of damage, which was probably what screwed me there (lost at least half my health), though the mosslings are of course vicious. It feels a bit overkill to have both the mosslings and the goose when you have things like Deerclops who is pathetic and dragonfly who gets stuck between the obelisks and pig king = easy to kill.
whats the tornado looking giant thing?
