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:
- No need to use farms! Wormwood can plant seeds directly into the ground
- Wormwood doesn’t need to be scared of eye plants as they are friendly towards him
- During Springtime Wormwood gains increased movement speed, drains hunger quicker than normal and attracts bees
- Food doesn’t heal Wormwood
- Wormwood can use manure and Guano to restore 2 health
- If Wormwood comes into contact with fire, he will take 25% more damage
- Wormwood’s sanity will start to deplete if plants are destroyed near him
- When plants are planted, Wormwood gains sanity
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.
