I've got a confession, everyone... I've used Winona's catapults to do this many times... I'M SORRY SHADOW PIECES! I RUINED YOUR BRILLIANCE WITH CHEESE BEFORE TODAY! 😅 BUT, here's is the video that showed me the way of the boom and has changed everything, ua-cam.com/video/dA9e116eJwc/v-deo.html
Nice find all this time back, @Ham3d DST. I recall using boats to drop bosses into the water for easy kills and I used the catapults like this before however for whatever reason gunpowder never crossed the mind until I stumbled upon your video. Well done!
2024:the method still works but its different. Since the knights fall in the water and then return to land Now you need to do the opposite placement 1. Place the rook and bishop on the boat instead of the knights and you also need to be on the boat (bring the fire staff with you and the paddle oar) 2. Now you need to fight the one's on the boat (being the rook and bishop) head on rather than on land because for some reason the knights can't hop on boats which is good 👍 3.Then finally,light the gun powder that you dropped on land.
Uh, two things; I mention breaking them during full moons for the sketches in this very video and no, we can't do this first attempt cause the we need those sketches first. So if you're getting said sketches on day 11 at the earliest you'll be waiting 10 more for the next New Moon after having crafted your own statues.
Hey Beardo, I just rewatched your Shipwreck Playthrough and in the end of the Playthrough you said that you could make some SW Guides if people are interested and I just wanted so say that I still am interested :D
As long as u dont make too many knights, this is fine. Make 1 too many and the server will crash permanently. Sometimes even rollback wont work ,therefore I would back up your save file beforehand.
A boatfull of knights is fine. I have nightmare fuel and armor and swords for life. Ive done this cheese more times than i could remember. Fun and rewarding.
I hear people talking about constant deconstruction all the time and I know how good it can be however here's a good question, where the heck are you guys getting all these green gems?!?!
@@TheBeard777 Might be a kind of necropost, but still. Farming Dragonfly (every summer) and Ancient Guardian (every 20 days) is a valid source of all kind of gems.
@@АлександрНосков-з6з Why not just switch the character into Warmwood and get living logs by it's ability? Using jellybeans for his health recovery is very efficient, with a ratio of a jellybean to 6 living logs. On the other hand, ones can just change their characters to another Warmwood when the health get low, then only a purple gem and a moon stone are required, which is much easier to obtain than a green gem. In my humble opinion, even deconstruction on spider eggs to get papyruses is far more valuable, since the reads cannot be farmed without a special set piece.
@@李承軒-y7k If you're late enough into the game for Royal Jelly, weather pain farming is a good idea as well. Every 6 birchnut trees chopped after day ~70 will spawn a few Poison Birchnuts, which die in one hit from the weather pain. This is a ratio of a weather pain to 45 living logs, and it's fairly fast and cheap considering Moose/Goose is incredibly weak to frog rains.
The rotten eggs aren't hard you just have to leave like 10 almost rotten. Then use the bird to get new eggs then mix them with the almost rotten. You can speed up the time by doing this. I accidentally do this all the time with actual food.
@@markuswiebers4330 357 days have gone by since I first asked him, Beard doesn’t upload every day and I have a life so those days aren’t all consecutive
I want to ask, who the bloody hell need this much armor and swords, come on those are so much easier these days to make them and the hearts, why we need so many, does fuelweaver consumes the heart every fight?
@@TheBeard777, but if you kill them, a few seeds drops as loot. Dmg is low, lesser 30, but thing is a thing. I mean seedshall: dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Seedshell
Sure, but those things are not as viable as you think they are and I don't why you're even thinking that when you know how much damage they're dealing. You'd need tons of them.
2024 dosen’t work wasted a fuck ton of stone for no reason Edit for 2024: Figured it out but it’s extremely hard it took like 15 retries. You have to elaborately position the gunpowder to the points by which their pathfinding gets stuck. Then break the statues as usual and as soon as all of them go onto land jump back onto the boat and they cannot reach you. Then tank all the damage while on the boat and kill the rhino looking one first while getting them all stuck in one position. Then you have to hit the other teleporting nightmare until it’s about to die before it dies use the star caller staff to light the gunpowder if you time it correctly the ghost will die and the gunpowder will hit them all at once. Then you have to paddle around in the boat to get them stuck then light the gunpowder again and jump back on land they should all pile up where you jumped off at and it should explode just in time to kill them. Keep in mind they have an insanity aura that will make you insane in a few seconds and they will kill you instantly if they hit you all once especially with their range so be careful.
First of all these methods do still work as recently as a week and a half ago. I know this because the recent update requires multiple hearts and people have returned to these methods themselves. Second, the title literally says "outdated-ish".
@@TheBeard777 Wow I don’t even know how I managed to get it to work to anyone reading this I did it but it took like 15 retries.

I can't fight them because my computer is too weak to handle server with caves so i can't get star callers staff I know i can use campfire but this method is much harder
so having the knights on the boat is easier to fight the bishop and rook but harder to set up and loot. the original method of having the knights on land and bishop rook on boat is much easier to set up as well as loot afterwards. i stuffed one raft full and it took me quite some time to tightly pack the pieces and make space to row the boat out and install an anchor. max you can get on one boat is a bit over 40. if you did the knights on land however you are not limited by space at all, and all the loot ends up on land and you dont need to potentially row your boat to pick them up, you just need sufficient armor to tank the bishop and rook on the boat which is isnt even that hard
Hey beard fam I need help I'm still pretty new at this but omg do I ever love this game. Been off for a bit, hospital stays are rough without my system lol. Anyone up for helping me out??? Need advice. How do I beat the giants, which character is best to start with?
i personally use vigfrid everytime bcuz her dmg resistance and bonus dmg + her helmets are good in early game you can even heal a bit if you fail to kite
beard, I play this on xbox. over a year now. i watch all your vids. and I suck. even on nicer settings I rarely get past winter. I don't even f with sw or hamlet or even the caves. any suggestions to improve my game so I can experience more?
During your first Autumn. Gather 30 berry bushes, 30 sapling plants, and 30 grass tufts. 1 fridge and 4 crockpots. Spend time farming grass and twigs. Rely on meatballs. Mine ice during winter, 1 meat 3 ice makes meatballs. If you can get bee boxes you are golden. You don't have to fight deer deerclops. When he is spawning lure him away from base and forget about him.
I've got a confession, everyone... I've used Winona's catapults to do this many times...
I'M SORRY SHADOW PIECES! I RUINED YOUR BRILLIANCE WITH CHEESE BEFORE TODAY! 😅

Wow
The season finale for The Queen's Gambit is looking kinda nightmarish huh
For anyone wondering, I just tried this after the wickerbottom rework update, it still works fine. Klei seems to allow this farm.
seems reasonable as it still takes effort to make all the statues and gunpowder.
They stuck up to the edge still when created in the boat? Or is it fixed?
@@denizyldrm580 It still works
I don't see how they would fix it. I don't think they can without making them immune to gun powder
@@coolloser85 Already fixed. thy now drop into water and resurfaces back on land like hounds

Since the knights fall in the water and then return to land

Me and my friend were arguing on how to do the technique. Thanks for the help !
Happy to share it!
If you break the original marble statues during full moon, regular clockworks will appear and drop sketches, so this can be done on first attempt
Uh, two things;

So if you're getting said sketches on day 11 at the earliest you'll be waiting 10 more for the next New Moon after having crafted your own statues.
@@TheBeard777 yeah but first attempt is day 21, I don’t think he’s wrong here
Both are right
Thanks for the new vid
Hope you enjoyed it!
I’ve done this twice it’s so worth it
Hey Beardo, I just rewatched your Shipwreck Playthrough and in the end of the Playthrough you said that you could make some SW Guides if people are interested and I just wanted so say that I still am interested :D
More will come eventually!

Meanwhile me and my wife are still cooking carrots...
Still works! 🎉 Don't even have a idea on how to spend this much nightmare fuel 😭😭
Does it still work? I plan on using eye of terror instead of catapult
@@zaurliyev1217 yahhh
@@Shamoneyy I think i know what to do at public server now if you see 30 nightmare rook i was there :3
You could also make a deconstruction staff and you would be able to get infinite living logs as long as you have green gems.

what about using Houndius Shootius instead of catapults?
I fell like as a cool feature if you give winnowas catapults gunpowder the rocks should act like shrapnel in other works like a impact teathtrap
That shadow knight stack looks like an angry shadow ant.
Burning the boat definitely doesn't work anymore. You can still glitch them out on the edge and use catapults though. Did it this evening.
Ok guys do you want to... OMG how do you get too many of these - Normal day on a server thanks to beard
im "almost" done with homework, its 11 pm now
Usefull video
Also can you do the spy or sniper mod?
the lvl 3 shadow knight is creep me out,but all shadow pieces are scary for me is the lvl 3 knight
For the people who don’t want to do the math: 162 slurtle slime
Why did you stop playing shipwrecked or hamlet?
Ps i love ur guides you explain every litle detail
I return to solo experiences every now and then for a few weeks then take a break. It just depends on how I'm feeling really.
Saying "Hollow knight" until Beard finishes it. Day 359 also
Day 19 of Asking Beard for a wall guide
YES!
@@giraffeman326 YES!
The rotten eggs aren't hard you just have to leave like 10 almost rotten. Then use the bird to get new eggs then mix them with the almost rotten. You can speed up the time by doing this. I accidentally do this all the time with actual food.
So.... does this still work?
Not really, no. It's jank so one time it might while others won't!
@TheBeard777 well... too late I was already placing the status and it fucking worked !! I got 127 nightmare fuel from 30 status
Just logged in after 3 years haha I have so much to catch up on
do we have enough swords for the toadstool fight
we have like 5000 chest full of drark swords
Day 357 of asking Beard for a wall guide and counting
Saying “Hollow Knight” until Beard finishes it day 19
You say day 357 but you only have 200 com hmmmm
@@markuswiebers4330 357 days have gone by since I first asked him, Beard doesn’t upload every day and I have a life so those days aren’t all consecutive
So technically you could do a gears farm to?
Nope! Klei thought of that one. Sorry!
Does this still work? Because when I did this they dropped the nightmare fuel but no atriums :(
You sure you had lvl 3 shadow piece at the end?
Thanks for this :)
Sure thing!
Can't you get more Nitre through the under ground + new world regen aources
Does this method still work here in 2024? Really curious about it before I start it
Somewhat, yes. But I believe most people fight the Rook/Bishop on a boat and blow up all the Knights on land with gunpowder and a firestaff.
@TheBeard777 how does one fight the rook and bishop on a boat? Definitely need to see a video on how it's done.
Hold on a second, dies the catapult really take 45 minutes? I thought the catapults are doing area damage 🥺
Oh no, no, no. I said 4-5 minutes, friend. Not 45... 😅
ooohhh ok hahahah thanx 😂
What do I do if I don’t have one of the sketch’s (bishop)? I need it to respawn the shadow piece boss fight again.
Will they only spawn on new moons like the First time you fight them or Can I pop them open anytime to start the fight?
Only New Moons. Full Moons spawn normal Clockworks but only once.
Wes Wednesday?
Has he missed it 3 weeks in a row now?
It'll be back.
I want to ask, who the bloody hell need this much armor and swords, come on those are so much easier these days to make them and the hearts, why we need so many, does fuelweaver consumes the heart every fight?
He does actually consume the heart every time, yes.
@@TheBeard777 ok, I guess it is neat then
can i use spiders dens like 10 of them the level 3 ones around them
Does it stll work tho?
@@Patrick-ol5kt yes
How about wall guide beard?
Hey, does waterplants seeds deal AoE dmg? Why don't combine gunpowder method with this things? 4 seed enough for kill, I think it is option)
You would have to have seastacks in an impossible location to do that.
@@TheBeard777, but if you kill them, a few seeds drops as loot. Dmg is low, lesser 30, but thing is a thing.

Already have three videos on that mod, friend.

I would assume something like this would eventually get patched? has anyone tried this recently?

Still working?
