I've never fought the shadow pieces but I think the mechanics are so cool, it's a damn shame that apart from a mandatory progression item the drops are crap. If every tier 3 shadow boss dropped a different item that would make the fight so much more interesting, that would give you an incentive to go back and do the fight in multiple different ways
Because it affects all the stats a food gives, even if its negative. So if you feed a dragonpie with it, youll get 75+60+15 durability since those are the stats of the dpie. But if you feed it with a monster meat, itll give ~25+25+40 because these are its stats, meanwhile a meatballs only give like 80 durability.
That is most likely because of the algorithm that is used for the healing. _(|food's health| * 4) + (|food's Hunger| * 1.75)_ The healing stat of a food item affects it much better than the hunger stat. But the negative values are inverted (As seen with the ''module'' || symbol on both values, which's primary use in maths is to revert negative numbers, but leave positive ones untouched) to positive ones, which means that damage-dealing monster foods heal much better than non health-affecting regular foods.
@@NickAndriadze you could've just said "absolute value" That's what the terminology is for that. It doesn't "revert" negative numbers and leave positive ones untouched, it simply takes the absolute value of the number and uses it.

I also want to add to klaus, that he has a cool mechanic that you might miss at first, and that is the timing of his magic attacks. Besides alternating between ice and fire, they also have delays. When using fire, he stands for a while (free hits) before summoning the circle and immediately goes back to attacking. The ice is the exact opposite, where it’s really early, but klaus gets a ton of end lag. One of my favorite bosses as well, love to fight him every winter on beefalo
I kinda wish they did more with the Twins boss. In Terraria, the whole mechanic of the Twins is that they work together to fight you. Retinazer is faster and uses ranged attacks to corral you into getting hit by Spasmatizm’s slow melee attacks and fire breath. Feastclops has a laser attack so they could totally just repurpose it for the fight.
They are not rehashes of the Eye of Cthulhu in Terraria, at most Spazmatism is similar to EoC but without the servants and with more attacks in general. Retinazer is even worse since it doesn't dash and actively tries to keep a certain distance away from you.

You don't need to kill the pugilisk. The water respawns a day after the water stops existing in the world. That is, you can bundle wrap the water or take it to another world to get it to respawn. Also you can 1 shot the pugilisk with an explosion, including the coconade that you can buy. Also, the seal drops it's boss items when you spare it's life.
Thank fuck… I never got far in shipwrecked but if I did and faced the seal it would break my heart… no my heart would just quit. It would open some doors and say; I ain’t dealing with this shit no more. You have no idea how thankful I am not to kill the seal.

@@Or-ang-E Also you're probably gonna avoid taking hits anyway, and the vortex cloak is a very good armor if you are good at kiting and dodging attacks, but not as perfect, that's literally what armor is for, and if the vortex cloak runs out then you can use other armor.
Theres mods for boss hp scaling and I always used them. Even on normal mobs, I think too many mobs have inflated hp because of "there might be more people" it doesnt make things harder just longer and more expensive.

If the shield of terror was like the shield of cthulu from terraria it would have been insane, Imagine being able to dash to be able to dodge basically most attacks in the game!
Herald's armour is so weak because it's easier to farm nightmare fuel in hamlet with shadow well. Don't have to rely on luck (getting two+ creatures or nobody for long time), just spawn one by demand.
oh my god your right. I completely forgot about that thing. You used to be able to trade the purple gems for oincs making it such an easy coin farm. But then they patched it out and I never touched the ends well again
Amazing video! I might add something about the Antlion though! You don't even have to fight it to get its rewards. You can basically trade with it; if you fish and find a beach toy, you can basically trade it for the lazy deserter blueprint, and trading toys with it will calm its rage, therefore delaying the earthquakes it makes on summer. Also oh boy Deerclops became so easier in the beta update!
@@WizardBrandon Well, now, his range is solely defined by the ice he creates... so now the only thing you have to do to avoid them is to dodge *sideways*... you don't need a walking cane anymore! :o
Antlion's drops are actually useful even in solo. The Lazy Deserter is a safe, fast, and reliable way to go insane in order to farm Nightmare Fuel late game.
@@whydiyoudothat2567 You can't make them in HAM, you buy them. And I for one definitely would considering to do a full playthrough you gotta kill her sooner or later.

As a relative newcomer to the game, still to finish my first year on it, this is *really* interesting to me. Deerclops made me his bitch of course and only *after* I started to adapt to Winter lmao. Now that I'm in the last days of Summer, I managed to kill the Moose in Spring and the Antlion in Summer. Just waiting on my second run through Autumn.
Not gonna lie, I expected that Maxwell from Adventure mode to be the best Boss. I mean, easy to achieve, repeatable, you have 5 stages, cool story, 2 characters to unlock and some story, with good plot twist. But still, thanks for this episode!

7:03 Fun fact but there is a workshop mod that fixes this problem, I can’t remember exactly what it’s called but basically it scales the bosses’ HP from regular Don’t Starve health to DST health with six players
@@lovkarts I don’t either, it’s really nice QoL for people who play either by themselves (like I do) or people who only have like 3 people in the lobby
@@lovkarts besides Toad and Celestial champion and maybe Bee Queen, I can't think of any other boss that need their health scale down. Even Crab King, I fought him yesterday and it was a blast
43:00 the shield of terror does NOT attack faster. Thats was a popular missconception players had when the boss came out but trought testing you can seen its not true
I like the Anciet Fuelweaver, just because he feels special... He's the only boss that talks to you, has a lot of lore attached to him, and I just love his design... I've never fought him though. I'm just a fan.
@@Or-ang-E ah then i shall ask for an appologie and tell you to keep up the great work and take your time man i know its hard and i know u try as hard as you can but i just felt like there should be more content since its interesting
I think it’s the other way around, as the rook is the one machine most different to its chess piece, and the ancient guardian has a horn, and not a castle nose
One thing I think would be cool is to have the Pugilisk and Hulk in DST, but with two tweaks: the corruption. In terms of the gameplay being set up, there’s planar defense and offense, and how cool would it be to have a Nightmare Pugilisk come down from the sky to make its home in the caves, while the Enlightened Hulk comes down bearing the power of the moon, including crystal walls, light blast attacks like the lasers, etc. Maybe it’s just me, but I think that’d be cool
Considering 99% of the ocean is empty space, if they did want to add the Ancient Hulk and Pugalisk to don't starve together they could add a hamlet island out in the ocean where you could find one of the two
To add on with Toadstool’s terribleness, if you take a listen to the music that played when Jakey fought Toadstool with Wes, The beginning seconds of the music was replaced with “Did you remember to bring about a million weather pains? Good, let’s get started.”
14:44 The Antlion can be appeased by offering tribute to keep the sinkholes away. You can also just, you know, get away from your base when the sinkholes are about to spawn.
Great video as usual Orange. At this rate, you’ll be at 100k subs in no time. But with the amount of work you’ve been putting in, you deserve way more.
About the moslings: having a quad moose goose nest set piece in dst right next to your base often leads to 12-18 moslings chasing you around at once. Its not fun.
I just finished my first world where I killed all of the bosses (was my first time killing most of DST ones), and I have to say that there is one thing about this tierlist that I really disagree with. That is Ancient Fuelweaver: I would at least put him in B or A tier (S tier if you didn't have to suffer with shadow pieces and finding atrium). Although my opinionion may change through getting more experience, i really enjoyed this bossfight because of it requiring not just collecting items needed to kill it, but also a skill requirement (I was playing solo). This boss was designed to be killed in a team and as a final boss, and completely fulfils both of the purposes. When fighting in a team, you might want to split the roles between players, like killing woven shadows and destroying shadow torches. There arent that many bosses in the game that require that (not saying there should be much more, bc solo boss killing would be too hard). So when you are fighting solo, you have to do a lot of things at the same time, which is actually VERY challenging for those fighting him for the first time. There is no other boss that makes you manage your inventory and multitask at the same time. Most of the bosses of DST are just about learning few kiting patterns or tanking, but this guy is really different. Took me many attempts to kill it, and yet I still enjoyed every second it. Plus, this bossfight is VERY rewarding. Anyway, this is my unpopular opinion, so you are welcome to disagree
I kinda disagree, celestial champion its an ancient fuelweaver but without the stupid stunlocks and a much better aesthetic and bossfight so i think its much better than him, the drops of AF arent that good other than the body armor and bone helmet whoch guess what is useful for celestial champion, the problem i have with AF is that you MUST craft special equipment to beat it while celestial champiom at minimum requires a hambat and a walking cane
I hope Klei goes through all the annoying bosses and updates them like the Ancient Guardian. Like you said, the two most recently added bosses are some of the best ones, so I think it would be good if they put out a bunch of boss reworks, kinda like the character reworks.
A little tip for Queen Womant: The Mant Warrior AI is quite stupid and can get stuck behind her stalagmite throne so if you bait one and get it stuck behind her throne she basically becomes helpless. You'll need a stalking stick/lazy explorer/walking cane though in order to outrun the mant in order to get it stuck but it makes her fight so much easier. Her crown is also better kept to yourself since it functions as a Top Hat with better sanity regen and no durability
I love klaus man such a well designed boss that requires and rewards skill like rushing the ruins making the fight more easy, with a dash of luck on his drops that makes you coming back for more.
@@Or-ang-E I am happy to announce that I am starting to play Hamlet and I will probably die a million times before getting anywhere near the Pugalisk or any other boss
I think Quaken having the health of a gnat is Klei's way of saying sorry for making you experience what is basically the easiest difficulty setting in a Touhou game.
10/10 hello everyone, love the hay wall hello everyone, very nice hello everyone with a small but noticeable high dialect in the voice. cheery, dare i say jovial entrance with a tint of spooks. amazing .
I agree wit 99% of this list, the only thing of note that was forgotten was that toadstool also drops the blueprints for the 2 lamps along with misery toadstool's drop allowing you to dupe the skins, making it so you can make as many light posts as you want
I agree with almost everything in this tier list. Almost. I absolutely adore the fight of The Ancient Fuelweaver, and is in my personal opinion the best boss of the entire Don't Starve franchise. The importance this guy has to the (unfortunately) finite lore of the game is amazing. Yes, the mechanics are really hard and sometimes obnoxious to deal with and his tricks might be considered spammy, but I am not against these abilities. It's after all *the final boss* of the game. It requires extreme amounts of skill to counter his diverse abilities, which is unique from the other bosses, who just... Erm... *Attack you.* Everything about his Bossfight works, from the intimidating design, the fact that he actually talks, the flawless work of animations, one of the most legendary and epic death cutscenes of all time, the incredibly stressful and skill-depending fight where you need to balance out doing at least three things at once, from teleporting around and away from the bone cages quickly and making yourself sane and insane from time to time to switching between weather pains for the woven buggers, weapons for damage and eating to heal up. There's basically no room for error and the fight requires your constant attention. There's not a part in the fight, especially the second phase, where you can rest and re-organize your cluttered inventory from all those stressful switching of items. So yes, even if you don't like the arguably very spammy gameplay itself, I think that there's still a lot to love about this boss, like the aesthetics, the epic boss theme, which it has whole entire two of, the lore implications and so on. In my humble opinion, this absolute climactic delight of a Bossfight deserves at least low A-Tier, if not more than that. But, of course, with all that said, you can think about Fuelweaver in any way you like, This all is just my way of thinking, and I am completely fine with others' opinions.
Yea I agree, no way is fuel C tier IMO. From the level of micro it requires to charlie stealing the kill at 1HP, it's one of the most thematically accurate and badass boss fights in gaming next to the Hollow Knight.
You’ll understand why he says to not look behind you if you look at Bearger in the thumbnail. Also, y’know how Mant Queen births mants through her abdomen tip, she blows that for the earthquake attack. Why Klei, why?
The bergers turf idea. It prevents freezing by 15% when stood on but it will increase the rate of overheating by 20% in summer. Also structures and items on the turf will catch fire quicker by after extinguished by ice or water won't be able to catch fire for 15 secounds.
deerclops is a great way to give a major obstacle for the player. when you first encounter it, you will be terrified and probably die. however as you fight it more and more, its much easier and now its just an event where you defend your base. a great learning experience
I feel like crab king, toadstool, and the seasonal bosses (besides deerclops) could use reworking Edit: dragonfly and beequeen are also kinda just tank until you get it, would be nice to have them be a bit changed
I really enjoyed this tierlist but i think fuelweaver deserves to be a little higher up Yeah in the old days you could hug the edge of the arena in the right moment to escape the bone cage and that wasn't a bad feature(it got updated though) but even now you can still stand next to a pillar(sometimes works) or run away at the right moment to escape the cage which requires practice to master but is really doable And the other reason that i love the fight is that it doesn't only rely on how much resources you bring like crab king , toadstool or even beequeen but actually requires skill and practice to pull of Overall well done orange man keep uploading these high quality videos ❤️👏
Bearger lets you craft a vest that has insane insulation and reduces hunger, surprised you didn't mention that. It's really useful during the winter at least
Insulation is the same as Puffy Vest so really, only the hunger slow matters and it's a much lower durability than vest (less than half) meaning you have to worry about maintaining it more. Basically, it would be great if the Puffy Vest wasn't so op.
Ever since I figured how to reheat thermal stone by burning trees I've never looked for any insulation for winter. Tam O' Shanter is amazing for Sanity and the insulation it offers is enough to make the cold not too annoying, but the reason it's mainly used is because it's a hat and not a stupid chest clothing. The decreased hunger is not good enough considering you can instead wear a backpack to reduce the amount of trips needed which saves time that can be spent gathering the food!
the hibearnation vest has always been a pretty bad item unfortunately. winter insulation is a pretty useless stat because thermal stone is op and taking up the chest slot for it is almost universally not worth it
When I was worse at kiting t3 Rook I opted for t3 Bishop and lazy explorer telepoofed when he disappeared but before first damage tick. It is not a good tactic in any meaningful way but one: I had fun doing it. Also now Wanda can perform similar tactics. T3 Knight is still a douchebag.
By the way I'm surprised you didn't mention this but killing the Tiger Shark is really useful as you can make the Sea Sack backpack, which has the same slots as the backpack but also stops food from spoiling faster like the fridge. Basically it's the buffed insulated pack and you can get it in like season 2 of DS shipwrecked unlike Bearger which spawns in like next year Autumn so its a huge buff. You get 4 Shark Gills so you can use 3 to make the backpack and the rest can be used to make the Dumbrella which gets you through Volcano season really easily by stopping you from overheating, don't even need a thermal stone (it's bad in solo DS anyways). For an easy boss fight which is easy to spawn and easy to kill on land, it gives great looT. And for the Pugalisk, you don't actually have to defeat it, you can actually just steal the water and run really far away which I'm guessing thats why they made it require 2 things for the invincibility suit??
Even though I'm playing this game forever, I still suck. So most bosses I haven't beaten alone, and I have to say I'm a purist, I don't like mods or character refreshes, but the caves are so damn fun. They're the best part of the game, the soundtrack and the looks, If they didn't remove the cave walls it would look even better! And the rook really looks fun! (Not so hard though).
I usually play as Webber for Crab King and just get as much of those green water spiders as I can, then I craft a ton of boats and blow darts, shoot the blow darts at crab king then all the spiders attack. I usually don’t bother with the claws because when it’s about to sink I place another boat down.
i dont know if this actually works or not but seeing as the malbatross gives feathers based on chance of getting hit you can use a low dmg weapon with good range such as the cat o 3 tails (i think thats what its called) or use a used weather pane to have malbatross drop feathers easier seeing as malbatross will take lots of hits from one weather pane. again i dont know if this actually works but when i tried it i got the exact number of feathers i needed for the sail
I love how the ancient guardian was the worst boss in the game and in the rework he became the best,also they secretly buffed the houndious shootious aswell. It now heals itself 12hp per second instead of 1.8 which is pretty good since it will die much less often
Love the list! I'm a bit confused about the "bundling wrap is less useful in hamlet" statement... sure, you can buy food, but it's much easier to just always have a food bundle with you, I also carry a light bundle with me, for the lightbulbs and glowberries. When hopping worlds I think it's necessary to have a bundle too. It also helps with inventory space. Those are my two cents, I was just confused
here is how to farm living artifact steal magic water put it in bundling wrap fight iron hulk on BFB island then craft living artifact go back and steal water again and fight iron hulk again and you can have infinite health for fights
As a console player who resorted to catapult cheese to beat fuelweaver, I still think it is a good boss. It requires you to collect items from different bosses to beat it, which I think is very interesting! Having to conquer moosegoose, bee queen,the shadow pieces and the ancient guardian really builds up to the fight. The fight itself is intense in the second phase, requiring the player to swap between nightmare amulets, lazy explorers, and crowns to beat the boss. Wearing the nightmare amulet causing a stunlock is a nice balancing feature, adding an element of risk to disabling the fuelweavers shield, and having to manage both that and the woven shadows, adds up to a boss much more interesting than most dst bosses!
At first I was kinda like
“Wait how are the Shadow Pieces in D tier?” And then I remember the way you have to start the fight
after you fight them it becomes so much easier
I've never fought the shadow pieces but I think the mechanics are so cool, it's a damn shame that apart from a mandatory progression item the drops are crap. If every tier 3 shadow boss dropped a different item that would make the fight so much more interesting, that would give you an incentive to go back and do the fight in multiple different ways
Hahaha oh ohhhhh you forgot that… oh fun
In other words, its pain.
that’s why you tame a beefalo 🥲
Little known fact about the eye of terror drop: it heals WAY more from monster food than other foods. A single monster meat heals more than a meatball
Because it affects all the stats a food gives, even if its negative. So if you feed a dragonpie with it, youll get 75+60+15 durability since those are the stats of the dpie. But if you feed it with a monster meat, itll give ~25+25+40 because these are its stats, meanwhile a meatballs only give like 80 durability.
That is most likely because of the algorithm that is used for the healing.
_(|food's health| * 4) + (|food's Hunger| * 1.75)_
The healing stat of a food item affects it much better than the hunger stat. But the negative values are inverted (As seen with the ''module'' || symbol on both values, which's primary use in maths is to revert negative numbers, but leave positive ones untouched) to positive ones, which means that damage-dealing monster foods heal much better than non health-affecting regular foods.

Herald's armour is so weak because it's easier to farm nightmare fuel in hamlet with shadow well. Don't have to rely on luck (getting two+ creatures or nobody for long time), just spawn one by demand.
oh my god your right. I completely forgot about that thing. You used to be able to trade the purple gems for oincs making it such an easy coin farm. But then they patched it out and I never touched the ends well again
Really amazing tier list, I'm glad I'm not the only one that has Celestial Champion as their favourite boss either
20:15 Don't forget the one Wickerbottom strategy with On Tentacles!
Or the Maxwell one
Amazing video!
I might add something about the Antlion though!
You don't even have to fight it to get its rewards. You can basically trade with it; if you fish and find a beach toy, you can basically trade it for the lazy deserter blueprint, and trading toys with it will calm its rage, therefore delaying the earthquakes it makes on summer.
Also oh boy Deerclops became so easier in the beta update!
How is deerclops easier?
@@WizardBrandon Well, now, his range is solely defined by the ice he creates... so now the only thing you have to do to avoid them is to dodge *sideways*... you don't need a walking cane anymore! :o
@@azumetapraline youve never needed a walking cane though
@@azumetapraline that's not quite it. The attack is now directional, but most of the spikes are still entirely visual
@@WizardBrandon it helps dodging more quickly and do more hits each time you dodge
Antlion's drops are actually useful even in solo. The Lazy Deserter is a safe, fast, and reliable way to go insane in order to farm Nightmare Fuel late game.
You can also eat glommer goop if you’re not playing Wigfrid

Cool, but let’s be honest, who’s gonna go out of their way to make a winter item made with rabbits during summer and use it on a bad boss?
@@whydiyoudothat2567 You can't make them in HAM, you buy them. And I for one definitely would considering to do a full playthrough you gotta kill her sooner or later.
@@ericphillips8268 oh yeah I forgot it was a hamlet boss sorry
some corrections:
Malbatross also has the watering can, good for wormwood slaves
Funcaps do make you starve slower
Not a correction, but morning star for toadstool is good
Earmuffs can be used to negate the ant queen stunt
antlion can be fed stones to delay sinkholes
infused iron spoils into regular iron, not rot
I think the rot part was just as a visual for spoilage
...Just like the infused moonglass spoils into regular moon glass.
As a relative newcomer to the game, still to finish my first year on it, this is *really* interesting to me.
Deerclops made me his bitch of course and only *after* I started to adapt to Winter lmao. Now that I'm in the last days of Summer, I managed to kill the Moose in Spring and the Antlion in Summer.
Just waiting on my second run through Autumn.
I always forget how fucking EARLY in winter that bastard always comes.
Not gonna lie, I expected that Maxwell from Adventure mode to be the best Boss. I mean, easy to achieve, repeatable, you have 5 stages, cool story, 2 characters to unlock and some story, with good plot twist.
But still, thanks for this episode!
Maxwell isn't really a boss.
@@mishagaming1075Of course he is! Maxwell Don't Starve is best boss
The quality increase of this channels videos since the iceberg video is something else, some of the best Dont starve content on the site
man, these newer videos have been absolutely amazing! to put a out well-edited, funny, long video at least every month is something you should be super proud of. just make sure not to overwork yourself :)
7:03 Fun fact but there is a workshop mod that fixes this problem, I can’t remember exactly what it’s called but basically it scales the bosses’ HP from regular Don’t Starve health to DST health with six players
I really don't get it how they haven't implemented this mod into the game yet u.u
@@lovkarts I don’t either, it’s really nice QoL for people who play either by themselves (like I do) or people who only have like 3 people in the lobby
@@lovkarts besides Toad and Celestial champion and maybe Bee Queen, I can't think of any other boss that need their health scale down. Even Crab King, I fought him yesterday and it was a blast
43:00 the shield of terror does NOT attack faster. Thats was a popular missconception players had when the boss came out but trought testing you can seen its not true
orange man is noob at game confirmed
I actually looked behind me and it was my second most worst mistake after searching cursed video on youtube
The least bad part about Crab King is the trident he drops a blueprint for lets you uproot kelp plants and plant them in more accessible spots.
Also, the crown you get from the Mant Queen regenerates sanity while equipped, and doesn't have durability. So that's pretty cool.
I like the Anciet Fuelweaver, just because he feels special...
He's the only boss that talks to you, has a lot of lore attached to him, and I just love his design...
I've never fought him though. I'm just a fan.

wonderful video Orange!
I think Ancien Guardian's design is bad. But well, we can imagine Maxwell saw this creature and so decided to make his rook look the same.
I think it’s the other way around, as the rook is the one machine most different to its chess piece, and the ancient guardian has a horn, and not a castle nose
I like how the ancient guardian takes inspiration from the Minotaur, both are strong horned creatures in labyrinths.
After watching this video 50 enraged klaus spawned simultaneously in my room.
One thing I think would be cool is to have the Pugilisk and Hulk in DST, but with two tweaks: the corruption. In terms of the gameplay being set up, there’s planar defense and offense, and how cool would it be to have a Nightmare Pugilisk come down from the sky to make its home in the caves, while the Enlightened Hulk comes down bearing the power of the moon, including crystal walls, light blast attacks like the lasers, etc. Maybe it’s just me, but I think that’d be cool
fun fact, you can make the twins more interesting with a mod that gives them new attack patterns with lasers!
thank you for blasting out the diaphrams of my headphones in the first 5 seconds of the video. i have to get new ones now.
Considering 99% of the ocean is empty space, if they did want to add the Ancient Hulk and Pugalisk to don't starve together they could add a hamlet island out in the ocean where you could find one of the two
To add on with Toadstool’s terribleness, if you take a listen to the music that played when Jakey fought Toadstool with Wes,
The beginning seconds of the music was replaced with
“Did you remember to bring about a million weather pains? Good, let’s get started.”
14:44 The Antlion can be appeased by offering tribute to keep the sinkholes away. You can also just, you know, get away from your base when the sinkholes are about to spawn.
Why do that when u can just kill hom

Good video, really like the fast pace editing and the jokes. Plus they’re all ranked pretty fairly; I’ve got no complaints!
About the moslings: having a quad moose goose nest set piece in dst right next to your base often leads to 12-18 moslings chasing you around at once. Its not fun.
Wilson is my favorite tf2 character.

And the dead of night
I just finished my first world where I killed all of the bosses (was my first time killing most of DST ones), and I have to say that there is one thing about this tierlist that I really disagree with. That is Ancient Fuelweaver: I would at least put him in B or A tier (S tier if you didn't have to suffer with shadow pieces and finding atrium). Although my opinionion may change through getting more experience, i really enjoyed this bossfight because of it requiring not just collecting items needed to kill it, but also a skill requirement (I was playing solo). This boss was designed to be killed in a team and as a final boss, and completely fulfils both of the purposes. When fighting in a team, you might want to split the roles between players, like killing woven shadows and destroying shadow torches. There arent that many bosses in the game that require that (not saying there should be much more, bc solo boss killing would be too hard). So when you are fighting solo, you have to do a lot of things at the same time, which is actually VERY challenging for those fighting him for the first time. There is no other boss that makes you manage your inventory and multitask at the same time. Most of the bosses of DST are just about learning few kiting patterns or tanking, but this guy is really different. Took me many attempts to kill it, and yet I still enjoyed every second it. Plus, this bossfight is VERY rewarding.
Anyway, this is my unpopular opinion, so you are welcome to disagree
agreed!! was looking for someone who said this lol
I kinda disagree, celestial champion its an ancient fuelweaver but without the stupid stunlocks and a much better aesthetic and bossfight so i think its much better than him, the drops of AF arent that good other than the body armor and bone helmet whoch guess what is useful for celestial champion, the problem i have with AF is that you MUST craft special equipment to beat it while celestial champiom at minimum requires a hambat and a walking cane
This has been one of the most enjoyable and funny videos I've ever watched. Also 10/10 tier list.
HE PREDICTED GREAT DEPTH WORM, also crab got rework so idk where to out him now
13:34 I love how you and antlion died at the same time.
I hope Klei goes through all the annoying bosses and updates them like the Ancient Guardian. Like you said, the two most recently added bosses are some of the best ones, so I think it would be good if they put out a bunch of boss reworks, kinda like the character reworks.
A little tip for Queen Womant: The Mant Warrior AI is quite stupid and can get stuck behind her stalagmite throne so if you bait one and get it stuck behind her throne she basically becomes helpless. You'll need a stalking stick/lazy explorer/walking cane though in order to outrun the mant in order to get it stuck but it makes her fight so much easier. Her crown is also better kept to yourself since it functions as a Top Hat with better sanity regen and no durability
wow 35:16
the hardest boss in the game
CWAFTING TABEL
I love klaus man such a well designed boss that requires and rewards skill like rushing the ruins making the fight more easy, with a dash of luck on his drops that makes you coming back for more.
You put so much time and effort into these videos, very big congrats on 60k, cant wait to see u reach 100
You can get a shit ton of feathers from Malbatross if you hit it with the weather pain a bunch
I haven't played Don't Starve in a long time for some reason and this is really tempting me to play it again

@@Or-ang-E I am happy to announce that I am starting to play Hamlet and I will probably die a million times before getting anywhere near the Pugalisk or any other boss

RUN
I agree wit 99% of this list, the only thing of note that was forgotten was that toadstool also drops the blueprints for the 2 lamps along with misery toadstool's drop allowing you to dupe the skins, making it so you can make as many light posts as you want
I agree with almost everything in this tier list. Almost. I absolutely adore the fight of The Ancient Fuelweaver, and is in my personal opinion the best boss of the entire Don't Starve franchise. The importance this guy has to the (unfortunately) finite lore of the game is amazing. Yes, the mechanics are really hard and sometimes obnoxious to deal with and his tricks might be considered spammy, but I am not against these abilities. It's after all *the final boss* of the game. It requires extreme amounts of skill to counter his diverse abilities, which is unique from the other bosses, who just... Erm... *Attack you.* Everything about his Bossfight works, from the intimidating design, the fact that he actually talks, the flawless work of animations, one of the most legendary and epic death cutscenes of all time, the incredibly stressful and skill-depending fight where you need to balance out doing at least three things at once, from teleporting around and away from the bone cages quickly and making yourself sane and insane from time to time to switching between weather pains for the woven buggers, weapons for damage and eating to heal up. There's basically no room for error and the fight requires your constant attention. There's not a part in the fight, especially the second phase, where you can rest and re-organize your cluttered inventory from all those stressful switching of items. So yes, even if you don't like the arguably very spammy gameplay itself, I think that there's still a lot to love about this boss, like the aesthetics, the epic boss theme, which it has whole entire two of, the lore implications and so on. In my humble opinion, this absolute climactic delight of a Bossfight deserves at least low A-Tier, if not more than that.
But, of course, with all that said, you can think about Fuelweaver in any way you like, This all is just my way of thinking, and I am completely fine with others' opinions.
You could say he uses his head in tough situations
Yea I agree, no way is fuel C tier IMO. From the level of micro it requires to charlie stealing the kill at 1HP, it's one of the most thematically accurate and badass boss fights in gaming next to the Hollow Knight.
item management really makes for a fun fight
@@wedmoke8856 Exactly!
@@kabershshkabersh4272 Yeah, this boss puts your micromanagement skills to test, and boy what a test it is...
I love that you make every dev maxwell either smoking something or typing shit on a laptop
You’ll understand why he says to not look behind you if you look at Bearger in the thumbnail.
Also, y’know how Mant Queen births mants through her abdomen tip, she blows that for the earthquake attack. Why Klei, why?
The bergers turf idea. It prevents freezing by 15% when stood on but it will increase the rate of overheating by 20% in summer. Also structures and items on the turf will catch fire quicker by after extinguished by ice or water won't be able to catch fire for 15 secounds.
I am currently afraid to look behind me now.
oh and also even if I'm not done with the video, good video so far
9:38 The crown gives a decent boost to sanity, 4.4 per minute to be exact, and never breaks. For context the Tam gives 6.7 and the Top Hat gives 3.3.
AG is now a bigger hippopotamoose and i love it
deerclops is a great way to give a major obstacle for the player. when you first encounter it, you will be terrified and probably die. however as you fight it more and more, its much easier and now its just an event where you defend your base. a great learning experience
I like how they realized people hate ranged enemies and made the twins essentially a copy of each other
This is the greatest ranking for dst bosses and other don’t starve bosses in my opinion, a perfect harmony of memes, info, and actual gameplay
I hope they do more boss reworks like they did with the ancient guardian, and the character reworks
I feel like crab king, toadstool, and the seasonal bosses (besides deerclops) could use reworking
Edit: dragonfly and beequeen are also kinda just tank until you get it, would be nice to have them be a bit changed
@@MemeMeme-ze9tc Beequeen sure but dragonfly is fine they just need to add health scalling already even if its optional
I really enjoyed this tierlist but i think fuelweaver deserves to be a little higher up
Yeah in the old days you could hug the edge of the arena in the right moment to escape the bone cage and that wasn't a bad feature(it got updated though) but even now you can still stand next to a pillar(sometimes works) or run away at the right moment to escape the cage which requires practice to master but is really doable
And the other reason that i love the fight is that it doesn't only rely on how much resources you bring like crab king , toadstool or even beequeen but actually requires skill and practice to pull of
Overall well done orange man keep uploading these high quality videos ❤️👏
Bearger lets you craft a vest that has insane insulation and reduces hunger, surprised you didn't mention that. It's really useful during the winter at least
Insulation is the same as Puffy Vest so really, only the hunger slow matters and it's a much lower durability than vest (less than half) meaning you have to worry about maintaining it more.
Basically, it would be great if the Puffy Vest wasn't so op.
Ever since I figured how to reheat thermal stone by burning trees I've never looked for any insulation for winter. Tam O' Shanter is amazing for Sanity and the insulation it offers is enough to make the cold not too annoying, but the reason it's mainly used is because it's a hat and not a stupid chest clothing. The decreased hunger is not good enough considering you can instead wear a backpack to reduce the amount of trips needed which saves time that can be spent gathering the food!
the hibearnation vest has always been a pretty bad item unfortunately. winter insulation is a pretty useless stat because thermal stone is op and taking up the chest slot for it is almost universally not worth it
Damn I haven't watched orange in a while, the comedic timing and editing have gotten so good
When I was worse at kiting t3 Rook I opted for t3 Bishop and lazy explorer telepoofed when he disappeared but before first damage tick. It is not a good tactic in any meaningful way but one: I had fun doing it. Also now Wanda can perform similar tactics. T3 Knight is still a douchebag.
By the way I'm surprised you didn't mention this but killing the Tiger Shark is really useful as you can make the Sea Sack backpack, which has the same slots as the backpack but also stops food from spoiling faster like the fridge. Basically it's the buffed insulated pack and you can get it in like season 2 of DS shipwrecked unlike Bearger which spawns in like next year Autumn so its a huge buff. You get 4 Shark Gills so you can use 3 to make the backpack and the rest can be used to make the Dumbrella which gets you through Volcano season really easily by stopping you from overheating, don't even need a thermal stone (it's bad in solo DS anyways). For an easy boss fight which is easy to spawn and easy to kill on land, it gives great looT. And for the Pugalisk, you don't actually have to defeat it, you can actually just steal the water and run really far away which I'm guessing thats why they made it require 2 things for the invincibility suit??
Those smashup clips lmao
Here now that they actually took his advice and just put Pugalisk in the caves somewhere.
Even though I'm playing this game forever, I still suck. So most bosses I haven't beaten alone, and I have to say I'm a purist, I don't like mods or character refreshes, but the caves are so damn fun. They're the best part of the game, the soundtrack and the looks, If they didn't remove the cave walls it would look even better! And the rook really looks fun! (Not so hard though).
I only really use QOL mods, HP revealing, a few overlays.
One of humanity's greatest art losses is that Bearger King fanart, you need to find it, OrangE man
19:17 MOAB Eliminator moment
I usually play as Webber for Crab King and just get as much of those green water spiders as I can, then I craft a ton of boats and blow darts, shoot the blow darts at crab king then all the spiders attack. I usually don’t bother with the claws because when it’s about to sink I place another boat down.
I find malbatross fun as walter,it still really sucks that its random that you get the sail or not
i dont know if this actually works or not but seeing as the malbatross gives feathers based on chance of getting hit you can use a low dmg weapon with good range such as the cat o 3 tails (i think thats what its called) or use a used weather pane to have malbatross drop feathers easier seeing as malbatross will take lots of hits from one weather pane. again i dont know if this actually works but when i tried it i got the exact number of feathers i needed for the sail
The fact that I misheard Crab King's name as a kraken pun of Crapken is saying a lot.
I love how the ancient guardian was the worst boss in the game and in the rework he became the best,also they secretly buffed the houndious shootious aswell. It now heals itself 12hp per second instead of 1.8 which is pretty good since it will die much less often
houndius shootius buff hell yeah
Guardian fight after the rework is too easy imo.
Love the list! I'm a bit confused about the "bundling wrap is less useful in hamlet" statement... sure, you can buy food, but it's much easier to just always have a food bundle with you, I also carry a light bundle with me, for the lightbulbs and glowberries. When hopping worlds I think it's necessary to have a bundle too. It also helps with inventory space. Those are my two cents, I was just confused
here is how to farm living artifact steal magic water put it in bundling wrap fight iron hulk on BFB island then craft living artifact go back and steal water again and fight iron hulk again and you can have infinite health for fights
Crab King is autocorrected to "crapkin" for no reason.
Oddly fitting.
Do not look behind you
As a console player who resorted to catapult cheese to beat fuelweaver, I still think it is a good boss. It requires you to collect items from different bosses to beat it, which I think is very interesting! Having to conquer moosegoose, bee queen,the shadow pieces and the ancient guardian really builds up to the fight. The fight itself is intense in the second phase, requiring the player to swap between nightmare amulets, lazy explorers, and crowns to beat the boss. Wearing the nightmare amulet causing a stunlock is a nice balancing feature, adding an element of risk to disabling the fuelweavers shield, and having to manage both that and the woven shadows, adds up to a boss much more interesting than most dst bosses!
Why is that guy still behind me? Also you can Doodad
