Read up on the update yourself here, forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/128966-return-of-them-beta-eye-of-the-storm-update/ 1) No, you cannot capture the new birds 2) Wagstaff cannot be interacted with really but lots of interesting character quotes are out there... 3) Not sure if the crown does anything else but it does seem to suppress shadow magic when it comes to lore stuff so that's interesting 4) Full Moon nights EVERY NIGHT before you defeat the Champion which is kind of nuts to think about 5) Gestalts will be around during said nights by the way... 6) Nothing happening down below in the Archives it seems however this might be but 1 of 3 lunar-related content updates coming soon so that's awesome! 7) Apparently the Celestial Orb becomes a full, portable celestial altar after the fight and that's pretty awesome! This was all my initial experience so if anything was missed please share it, kindly mind you!

I think this is even some preparation to fight Charlie in the end, making the crown something needed on her fight

Charlie must be so pissed that her night can be stolen by the moon. It’s kinda crazy that technically we literally kill the moon. Wagstaff is suspicious

Klei:Congrats you beat our new boss Beard:What do I win Klei:Hat

The lunar crown feels like the polar opposite to the nightmare skull the fuelweaver drops in the depths. As if instead of be ridding sanity for immunity of nightmares. You are given enlightenment and assistance from the jestalts.

Glad that you showed us this update

Haven’t even explored the ancient archives fully yet due to a depth worm attack destroying me and a friend

Imagine getting the luner champion to fight the shadow pieces.

Eye of the storm update features: -big rock dude -Santa claus looking guy -slave work

I wonder if you could cheese the celestial champion by putting catapults on boats and staying on them - away from his range.

Beard: Uploads Me: This is where the fun begins

Dang, this is still in beta and you already gave us a guide for the update's mechanic plus the guide for the boss. What a legend :D

Wow, I hope Dont starve keeps up with these big worldwide events, they're so cool

Wilson: Dancing Wagstaff breaking down a wall: I am you from the future, come there's no time to explain

*every DT and DST youtuber I sub to puts out a video to an update* Me: *goes straight to Klei entertainment for animation first and get heart crushed when its not out yet*

Huh, kinda like the aporkalypse. Completely in control by the player, related to a form of magic (shadow and celestial), changes the moon, related to a boss mob, maybe wagstaff isn't the only hamlet-related canon lore.

Don't starve get's more and more lovecraftian with each update

I’ve always loved playing this, thank you for these guides.

The way I see it is that Charlie has shaped out to be the one harnessing and studying the shadows, and wagstaff... he is the one studying the moon and the light. Just like the two priests depicted

This update is so nice! and thank you for the videos, its always help me❤️

wow this is so cool!!!....always love seeing your work....keep the videos coming!!!

Thx for the info, now ill know how to do that and ill get my friends and start that mision

Good to see that you posted it I’ve been waiting beard great vid as always 👍

Ah, finally a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary!

The question is now... Was that the final boss of the return of them updates and if so what's next...

Just about when beard has nothing left to make a guide on he would have no choice but to make a wall guide, and then an update drops so he has another month to stall for a wall guide.

Considering Wagstaff is one of my favourite characters, this leaves me both excited and terrified all at once...

That crown fits so well. I love it. Plus, once you're at that stage in a multiplayer world it shouldn't be that hard to respawn the boss and fight it again. Given the 12 or so people you play with, this fight should be over in seconds if everyone does their part and doesn't run away scared. I'm kinda hoping that there's gonna be as you said in your comment, more progressive updates to the final release and with said releases maybe there will be a new end-game weapon. Because we now have the bone armor with temporary invincibility, a celestial crown which provides infinite light and sanity due to being unbreakable, now all that's left is a weapon that acts like the walking cane to give you that 10% speed boost, but also does about the same damage as a spear. Or maybe like an "Eclipse Staff" which has infinite durability but gets stronger based on the moon cycle or time towards dusk/night. Meaning during the day it does little to nothing (probably walking cane damage) but at new moon levels it does spear damage, half moon levels it does ham bat, and full moon/continuous full moon it does the damage that of a thulecite club. But of course having it constantly be the full moon means lunar storms, gestalts, and probably a lot more dangers around, so no matter where your base is, you might have an amazing, unbreakable weapon, but the forces of nature you're soon to face are nigh immortal and can now do damage to you. So good luck actually using that weapon on anything lunar related aside from the boss xD

you can bundle up wagstaffs tools to keep them. new ones will appear too so you can also finnish the even5

I sow the post and now im here

I think only some gestalts cause damage. The normal ones (that form into a little face when they hit you) make you sleep, but the special ones (forms into a little fanged maw) are the ones that damage you.

I wish wagstaff was playable in dst so much. He’s such a unique character

Dear beard, Have you, by any chance, tried summoning a fuelweaver during the lunar nights? I'm anxious to see if anything interesting turns out.

i like wurts quote for the bosses first phase of (i pritty sure) "Ghurp! Didn't do it! Didn't do it! Didn't do it!"

“crush the organics AHAHAH WAIT NOT ME” best quotes ever

Beard just ran that bosses fade

Ooh, boy, it’s kicking off. Or, perhaps, wrapping up. I like how Wagstaff is involved as an NPC. He’s a nice lore piece. Also, that final form of the champion looks vaguely moth like, which is a nice touch.

Oh boy! I can't wait for the trailer!

As a begginer at the game, I find it really interesting how the game works, and I also feel like I'm never gonna play this part of the game, due to how complicate the game is from the beggining, omg, it is still fun to watch tho.

Have a Damn Good Day Beard

The rise of body gear is coming

Yay more for wes Wednesday

For the boss just use glommer goop. Drops sanity by a ton and heals you

Wasn't expecting Wagstaff:O

looks like tge moon goddess left her crown by accident

Just a theory but what if Wagstaff is in some way linked with or responsible for the darkness, either through possession or maybe he found so ancient literature/artifacts and summoned them? When you think back Wagstaff created a portal to the Constant. We never saw him being pulled in so he could have entered by choice. Wagstaff created the Vox radio which has drawn many into the Constant. And in this latest play through he is seen to work towards helping the player summing the lunar boss and after defeat he turns up to take something. What is he up to? Could he be working with or responsible for the darkness?

6:26 a certain evil scientis wants to talk with wag staff he wants his inators back

I think that just before (and maybe even in the same update) wagstaff will materialize and will be playable character

I literally saw the ad before the video.

i noticed each phase is for each lunar altar, the original altar is the first phase, the tribute is the second one, and the sanctum is the third THAT IS SO COOL

So does this in away mean that he was never truly in hamlet i mean it looks like he was able to hop from place and time hell it almost seems as if he is out side the constent could it be that he was able yo trick the shadows or was it that hes stuck between the worlds after he was being pulled by wan and hes in a moon version of the constent

Behold!The Lunar Siphon-inator!

Well the Reap what you sow update was in beta in November and released in December (a month later) and it's April so this update may release in May.

"The highly suspect wagsatff"😳

Update looks amazing and the crown definitely feels like a good end game reward. It doesn’t look like it had durability? No durability, infinite light and a sanity Regen plus damage to help when fighting? Gimme gimme!

I was thinking the fight was a bit too hard and long just to be rewarded with the items used to summon it, but I think that crown kinda pays off.

Wagstaff may get an update on don't starve single player or he would be coming to don't starve together on a later date

I don't even play don't starve but I love watching these

Just In Time For My New Computer

Enlightened crown + bone armor would be overpowered if you can doge

This is awesome moon boss when is this update coming to ps4 ikno you have to be geeked that there doing more with the lunar island

awesome crown

Be carefull when playing this beta I've found a glitch that apears when you get too close to the dragonfly nest When dragonfly spawns the game crashes

That's some wagstaff theories confirmed! Mini theory: wagstaff will only be playable after completing a series of events within the update. Maybe he will come through the sealed portal? I hope to find out!

ok I have been examining what wx was saying and I believe its made by wagstaff to harness the power of the moon

Kind of seemed easy, one way to make it cooler in my opinion is to have the lunar storms get closer with each phase. With the finals phase being fully in the storm.

so still crabking is the hardest part of all of this it looks like

hey beard! can the lunar lightning charge wx?

Is it just me, or is this whole deal far from over? Also I LOVE the enlightened crown, there's finally a head item to replace thuelcite crowns and football helmets. Also again, I just wanted to ask, do you think the boss is one of Them? I just have so many questions for klei

Elightment crown could change sanity to elightment when character wear it :)

I am not sure but I think the Celestial Orb will function as a whole altar after the fight maybe you can check that

this lunar storms are looking gorgeous

Les gooo update time

I was hoping for a new smackin' stick but a hat is good too! 👍

Also mind some of its attacks as 1 of them can deal up to 120 and 1 thing to point out with enough bodies anything is possible

This is the tip of the iceberg methinks..

Mind blow 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

This seems a lot like the iron hulk thing from hamlet

So cool

This update is awesome

Hey Beard, I just want to let you know that I started a New World and spawned without the Crabking. And I've been having the Crabking to spawn by setting him to "More". And he hasn't spawned at all. What can I do to have him spawn? I've tried getting rid of Sea Stacks. And he still didn't spawn. I'm having trouble with the Crabking.

wonder if they'll add wagstaff in this update

Ty bro wp

Ok ok looks good very good

i hope they make them a little more difficult to defeat and i hope they get another drop. when ancient fuelweaver was in beta he only dropped the bone armor and not the helm. i hope they have another end game item. maybe an upgraded version of the strident trident that would work on land or something? or maybe an armored chestpiece that let you socket an amulet and backpack so that you can have extra equipment slots? maybe a recipe for a glass amulet? theres so much cool shit they could do

I think that the lunar event looks a little bit like the Aporkcalypse

Oh boy!

Maybe that Wagstaff is here that could means that DS will have dlc in future?

Wait I played earlier how did I not notice this

They should make it where beating the celestial champion gives the player wag staff as a playable character

I'm wondering if any of this is terraria inspired. Really reminds me of the lunar events there.

Just curious can the moon storms spawn on your base at all?

My biggest hope for the update is more unique gimmick items. I don't care if there super useful (not saying that badass hat isn't) I just want some cool crap I can mess around with.

Oh my god wagstaff don't starve

I have a theory. Maybe wagstaff is someone who made this world himself and these are all small games, and he created this world to take revenge on someone, maybe he did this to take revenge on Maxwell?

Trinston was here ...

Nice

Such a cool update.

Oh my gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

klei went all put on this one
