Don't Starve Together: From Beyond - Cursed Confrontation Part 1 is coming June 11th!

We spent a bit more time on WX-78 skill spotlight than anticipated, so the Shadow arc will be released in two parts. The focus of this update will be on the final room in the Sanctum, where you can obtain the Keystone. For now, taking the Keystone to the Ancient Gateway will just reset the Sanctum.

Highlights

  • New boss and loot drops from the Sanctum.

  • Added Waymark Compass to help navigate the Sanctum rooms.

  • A rope can be used on the Sanctum Chasm to provide a way back up from the Ancient Archives.

Other Additions

  • Added Heat Gland that drops from Geothermites, used in new crafts.

  • Added Thermic Tools.

  • Added Coals, a new trap type.

  • Added Thermal Balm, a new healing salve.

Changes

  • Added a method of mass unravelling duplicate Curios in the Item Collection screen.

  • The Ancient Key is no longer destroyed, but instead pops out when the Ancient Gateway destabilizes and resets the ruins.

  • Like Wormwood, all other plant-like creatures now also burn for longer and take more fire damage

  • Shadow Hands will no longer target Night Lights.

The update is currently in Beta right now. If you’d like to check it out, head over to the official forums for more information.
