After the slaughter, run around and pick up all the free food! You can also lure swarms of frogs near other hostile mobs, like killer bees or tentacles, and watch all hell break loose. They'll get snared and you'll have a tasty frog leg to cook and eat. Instead, carry a trap with you and drop it in the path of any frogs pursuing you. Frogs will rain from the sky two or three times during the six days of summer, Don't attack any, as the entire mob will then swarm you. Be careful about exploring forests during heavy rain, as lightning that doesn't hit you will generally set something on fire and burn the entire forest down. Rain puts out campfires and torches faster, so make sure you are keeping an eye on your light/fire supplies. This is a great time to explore the night, as you don't need a torch and are fast. When struck by lightning, WX-78 is fast and emits a ring of light slightly smaller than a torch. Recovering from the sanity drop is a constant concern, so dig up and stockpile any green or blue mushrooms you find and have a few cooked in case you get hit. It's less of a concern because occasionally WX-78 will be struck by lightning, which restores 100 health, reduces sanity by 33 and increases movement speed by 50%. The health drain caused by the rain is a nuisance, but only dangerous if you stop paying attention. *** Spoiler - click to reveal *** - The frequent rain during summer can complicate things for WX-78. Always at least one resource that will be rare. Weather: Starts with 6 days of rainy summer followed by 3 days of winter, then repeats. Stay mobile and avoid walking near spider nests and you should be fine. Swamps are also dangerous at night, but most of the enemies are too busy killing each other. I don't suggest exploring anywhere near killer bees at night, as they are tough to dodge during the day and a nightmare to dodge in the dark. While it isn't necessary to fully explore the worlds during Adventure Mode, I completely explore any area I'm in before moving on to avoid missing anything useful.

Typically, there aren't too many threats flush with the edge, so you can safely traverse the world's limits at night and fill in the middle of the map during the day. My personal favorite way to spend the night is running around the map's edge with a torch exploring and harvesting fireflies. If you don't need wood or rocks/flint/gold, use the night to cook food and eat or build any tools/equipment/structures you'll need during the day. More useful is to build a campfire near trees or rocks and spend the night mining or harvesting lumber.

Only do this if you absolutely need to recover health/sanity and only if you have an abundance of food. The easiest and safest thing to do at night is to sleep through it. However, learning to safely utilize time during the night (which is typically 1/3 to 1/4 of the total day) is a key skill in mastering Don't Starve. *** Spoiler - click to reveal *** In a game where the dark can literally kill you, this may seem like a crazy suggestion. Dying in any of these worlds without having a touch stone activated, a meat effigy built or a life-giving amulet equipped will result in a game over and being punted back into Survival Mode right outside of Maxwell's Door. Once you enter the door, you'll spawn in one of 5 random worlds with no possessions (excluding any a character initially spawns with) and have to find the 4 things (crank, box, ring, and metal potato) while surviving the unique challenges these worlds throw at you. This mode is accessed after starting a game in Survival Mode and locating Maxwell's Door on the map. Maxwell is unlocked by surviving 5 random, challenging worlds in Adventure Mode without dying. While the procedurally-generated nature of the game makes a precise walk-through impossible, I have a few specific suggestions that should help anyone struggling with this. Tough, yes, but definitely doable by anyone who enjoys the game and has a modicum of patience and skill. This achievement isn't nearly as difficult as its high ratio/low completion implies.
