SAFE PLACE to store things

[Actimel]

What is the safe place to store items? Chest is easily destroyed by winter mega boss.. he comes to base and trashes all the buildings.. Or summer comes and all the wooden chests burn, with all the precious items :(

[Pismorizzo]

Both of those things are avoidable to prep for summer make a icefling it will put out fires and Deerclops is a easy kill and while he is fighting you he cant break anything.

Why don't you run away b4 his second roar? He always spawn near the player

[Violeta]

what if your chest is underground in caves?

Just what he said

Get Deerclop's attention and lure him away. Hit him once and he'll be going for you. Unless you are wearing a piggyback you should be able to evade his attacks without any additional speed boosts.

I keep the most important things on me at all times. Mostly because of griefers, thieves and greedy noobs. This stuff not being smashed/burned up in flames is a bonus.

SOmestimes deerclops arrives on deep night.. so the reduced field of vision is pain in da arse :(
does deerclop loose his target (me) if hes lured away, from base?

I saw a scale chest, but does this item exist in DST ?

scaled chest exists in dst but afaik you gotta take on the dragonfly for the scales (not kill it i think, but kite it around, maybe deal some damage to it, never done it myself, you can check dst wiki if you want)

you can put around some lamps or fire pits (if you can waste some rocks) to turn on before/at night. if youre really good/fast/have decent teammates you can lay out an area with traps and fire pits and/or lamps. deerclops always comes at a specific day i think although i dont have a mod that tells me when exactly i guess you could plan accordingly.

deerclops should let go off you if you get some distance to him. he is easily aggroing on other creatures too. but don't lure him to any you put effort into getting to your base. if you lured a herd of beefalos into a pen i doubt you want deerclops switch aggro on those, cause they won't stand a chance.

having several lamps/fire pits around may also help you have some fighting space for when hounds arrive, unless you wanna lure them to other mobs to kill them for you. you should always have a lamp or a miner's helmet or something like that in your inventory (i try to have both, because in spring/summer i need umbrella in my hands) anyway because trying to get a torch crafted with hounds or the likes on your tail may get you killed. sure did get me.

deerclops always spawns in dead of night, He spawns on the 30 of winter making it perfect to already go into a large forest, and let him chop down trees for you untill a living tree comes by. Let the living tree kill him fro you.

What does the living tree do? I thought you just chop it down for living logs. Does it strike back at deerclops? Or is some instantkill magic involved?

believe they mean let him break trees until a tree guard spawns.

Doing that is a bother you dont get his eye so that you can make a eyebrella or houndius shootius after the minotaur is killed late game

[Actimel]

Hmmm never thought about that living tree to spawn.. I thought only if main character chops trees then hes spawn :S
Do that living tree can stand VS deerclop? its immortal kombat fatalities :D

[Hotzenplotz]

You need at least 2 living trees to kill Deerklops.

[Actimel]

but if deerclop starts attacking living tree and you join the fight, does deerclock switch target from living tree to you?
