Shadow Helpers will also follow Maxwell into the ocean with their own shadow Row Boats but do not have a sail in the Shipwrecked DLC. Any type of the Shadow Helpers last for 2.5 days but can be dispelled at any time by force-attacking them. Summoning a Puppet will cost 55 max sanity, 2 Nightmare Fuel and 15 health. The Codex Umbra is a character specific item and is definitely his most useful item as he can make Shadow Helpers to help with chores and fighting. With Maxwell's entry of 4 Nightmare Fuel and Purple Gem means he has a starting advantage to craft a Shadow Manipulator faster than most characters, which will allow access to dangerous and powerful recipes early on. The Dark Sword can make hunting, attacking enemies, and boss fights easier. This is a better alternative to all of the early-game armors. The Night Armor is incredibly useful earlier on in the game for combat with hostile mobs, as it blocks 95% of damage taken by everything. Maxwell will never lose sanity even at 100 Wetness with wet clothes.

All of that is accommodated with his natural Sanity regeneration of +20 per minute, the sanity drain of the Sword and Armor are negligible with the provided regeneration, thus making any utilization of wearing sanity-regaining clothes a waste of resources unless it is also an armor (like the Scalemail).

These starting items include the Codex Umbra, 4 Nightmare Fuel, 1 Purple Gem, Night Armor and a Dark Sword. 4 Pros and Starting Items (Don't Starve Together)Īfter being unlocked from completing Adventure Mode, Maxwell comes with the most starting items of any character.
