So You Want to Befriend a Ghost (and Survive the Wilderness): A Guide to Wendy in Don't Starve Together
Ever feel like you'd rather chat with spooky apparitions than, you know, deal with the whole "finding food" and "not getting mauled by a werebeaver" thing? Well, my friend, then Wendy might be your spirit guide (pun intended) in the crazy world of Don't Starve Together.
This quirky character comes with a built-in best friend: her deceased twin sister, Abigail. Now, don't worry, Abigail's more Casper the Friendly Ghost than vengeful spirit (though, let's be honest, a little ghostly vengeance on those pesky spiders would be nice).
Here's the down-low on how to wrangle the afterlife and dominate the wilderness with Wendy by your side.
The Perk of Being Pale: Wendy's Special Abilities
- Sisterly Sanity: Wendy loses less sanity in the dark and when fighting monsters. Because, hey, ghosts are practically family, right?
- The Power of Floof: Abigail This is where things get interesting. Wendy can summon her spectral sibling, Abigail, to fight for her. Think of her as a spooky attack dog, but way cooler (and less drool-y).
How to Befriend a Ghost (and Not Annoy Her)
- Summoning Sister Dearest: Crafting a Ghostly Woodie (don't worry, it's just a flower) lets you summon Abigail whenever you want. Just remember, even ghosts get hangry, so make sure you have enough sanity points to keep her materialized.
- Keeping Up With the Ghost Joneses: Abigail is a pretty independent ghost, but she can get a little…scatterbrained. You can set her to follow you or attack enemies on sight, but be warned: sometimes she has a mind of her own (and a taste for revenge on everything that moves).
Wendy's Not-So-Secret Weaknesses: When Being Pale Isn't So Cool
- Punch Like a Wisp: Wendy deals less damage than other characters. Think of her as more of a cheerleader than a frontline fighter. Let Abigail do the heavy lifting (or rather, spectral pummeling).
- Sanity Can Be a Btch (Especially for Ghost BFFs): While Wendy loses less sanity, it can still be a challenge. Crafting items to boost sanity and keeping Abigail happy (meaning keeping her fueled with your sanity points) are key.
Wendy's Winning Strategies: Tips From Beyond the Grave
- Spooky Smackdown: Abigail is a beast against multiple enemies. Use her to clear out spider dens, hound waves, and anything else that gives you the heebie-jeebies.
- Flower Power: Wendy has a unique crafting tab with some pretty sweet recipes. Use Ghostly Wax to craft items that buff Abigail and keep her ghostly glow burning bright.
- Fight Smarter, Not Harder: Wendy's weakness lies in direct combat. Use traps, fire, and ranged weapons to take down enemies without getting too close. Remember, being a ghost whisperer is way cooler than being monster bait.
So, there you have it! A crash course in befriending the afterlife and surviving the wilderness with Wendy. With a little spooky strategy and a ghostly partner in crime, you'll be a Don't Starve Together master in no time.
Bonus Tip: If things get really hairy, you can always blame it on Abigail. "Sorry, the ghost made me do it!" is a perfectly valid excuse in the world of Don't Starve Together. Just don't tell Abigail I said that.
