Welcome to the ULTIMATE Don’t Starve RoG (Reign of Giants) survival guide, in this video you will learn how to not only survive ALL FOUR seasons (Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer). You will also learn how to thrive in all of them, also, there’s a special segment at the end of this video, so watch all the way through!
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: It has come to my attention that the dragonfly boulder/campfire method may have been patched on the latest version, when I get the chance to boot my PC up and try the latest patch I will but for now, assume it does not work! I will come back to update this after I test it 🙂

This was honestly a great idea bro, I like how you added more at the end to make this not feel like a repeat. Here’s to hoping this gets out there 🎉
Nice
Nice
I guess we all have our own style of playing. Pro Tip: pick 40 flowers at the start. Gives you rot to fertilize grass come day 7. You're getting good at this editing thing. Liking it!! ;-]
A 3 world video would be kewl. ROG, Hamlet, Shipwrecked. Going between the 3 worlds. Widely expands the game. Prob a lot of people that don't know you can do this…
Ancient Guardian: You can put down 2 temp fire pits next to each other. He will get stuck between the two. Then just beat the hell out of him, if you don't have friends to kill him. Good video, Brother!!
This "survival guide" is so bad it makes me want to make my own.
Dude, if you're a noob player just trying to get through a whole year for the first time, crampus farming and wasting time sleeping through seasons are the last thing you need to do.
Here's a list for anyone in the comments who wants to actually learn the game:
1) don't base in the pig village. You will have to deal with obnoxious pigs stealing food, turning to werepigs if you broke their houses or walked away from base before full moon, also you will need to explore caves at some point and if you open the cave near the village, you'll get constantly bothered by bats. Pigs are not great protectors either because most hound attacks and boss fights will happen in the evening or at night when they are hiding. You can fix that issue if you're clever, but that's a late game objective, not early game
2) Here's how to survive hounds:
-Carry two pieces of body armor AND two pieces of head armour. Train yourself to always carry armour, healing items, weapons and fire starting supplies in the body inventory, not your back pack, because you will drop it at the first sign of trouble (or just use a backpack+ mod if you keep forgetting, nobody cares).
-If you can have a hambat made just before hounds arrive, great, you can kill them 9 times out of 10 even in middle game when the attacks are overwhelming. If you don't have s hambat or an equivalently good weapon, lead hounds into the swamp. The tentacles are awake all day and night, just lead hounds into their patches. Another great spot for hound distracting is the killer bee biome. Your character runs fast enough that bees won't get you, but the hounds will get chewed through. Might take a few passes, works every time. Another good idea is to keep a treeguard or three near your base, you can pacify them by planting pinecones in front of them. They kill hounds very easily. Another option is to run to beeffalo, just be careful, you don't want the whole herd to die out or their fur to burn down before you can pick it up. Works best when they have red butts.
If you made base far away from any of these things, dedicate all hounds teeth you get to building tooth traps. Choose a spot far enough away from base that fire won't spread to it. Plop a firepit in the middle and slowly surround it with tooth traps. This way you can survive a hound wave even at night in winter while caught off guard.
3) must have items for each season:
-Winter: thermal stone(!!!), biffalo hat (tem-o-shanter if you can get one, it's great for sanity, but if you keep dying to mactusk, it's not a requirement), winter coalophant coat (very easy to get.kill a few spiders for the silk, kill or shave a few beefalo, which you're already going to do for the beefalo hat, kill one winter coalophant which is very easy. Follow suspicious dirt piles untill you find him, wait for night time to put a fire close to him, hit him while he is asleep, either kite or tank him, only takes about 10-15 hits, to get his trunk and 8 big meats.), firepit and crock pot.
-Spring: umbrella(!!!) or eyebrella, lightning rod on base.
-Summer: endothermic fire (precrafted)(!!!), fridge(!!!), thermal stone (you keep one on you, one in the fridge, swap as needed, gunpowder (14), either a pan flute (can be found near glommer sometimes, or crafted from mandrakes) or 40+ ashes. These last two are for the fly. You use pan flute to make it sleep, or drop the ashes near her for the same effect, then blow her up. Easy fireproof chest. Or you can just run away before she notices you and wait for her to despawn. That only works if she didn't spawn right at your base, so make sure to stay at a different location with a precrafted endothermic firepit from day 10 of summer, or be ready to run/wormhole there before she spawns. Another must-have is an ice flingomatic. You don't really need an endothermic firepit at base if you have a fridge.
-Autumn: nothing special is necessary, but if you intend to spend it exploring caves, you can use the summer to harvest honey and make a ton of sanity-restoring foods with it. Look up crock pot recipes.
Hey! I invited the guy with the book of suggestions to come play on an open server with us when you get back from dilly dallying!! I know I'm bad too. But try and keep it fun….. This guy is serious. You might just have to stand in the back and watch us two just go at it!! ;-]
No Crankymen bothering you tonight!! Hey, I was just stretching wings, and you was there!!! ;-]
I'll set up an open server when you get back. Unless you want to do it. I got good connection and computer here. Up to you. You can still stream. Let me know when you get back. And don't forget! Have fun or I'm really going to troll you!!
It's crazy how people still make guides for a 10 year old game
you should do a boss tutorial
Thank you very much! I gave this game a second chance, and this video is a treasure trove of knowledge (I hope your channel will expand to its maximum potential).
