Telltale Heart

"The beating of this hideous heart will bring a ghost back to life!"

- Wilson

The Telltale Heart is a craftable Survival item only available in Don't Starve Together. It can be used to revive dead players by left-clicking on the ghost of the dead player. It can be crafted without a Science Machine using 3 Cut Grass and 1 Spider Gland.

Upon crafting the Telltale Heart, the player who crafted it will lose 40 Health. If a player does not have enough health to craft the heart they will not be able to craft it (if they lose the health while crafting, crafting will reduce them to 1 health, after which they will most likely die to the other damage source, such as freezing or fire).

After a living player gives the heart to a ghost, the living player receives 80 Sanity, and the ghost is revived with an additional 12.5% (1/8) of their maximum health removed along with normal resurrection penalties. The health penalty received by a Ghost using this item can be removed through the use of a Booster Shot. Ghost Players cannot haunt the heart to revive, they must have it given to them by a living character.

Trivia

 * The name of this item is a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's short story, The Tell-Tale Heart.
 * Armor used to reduce the health cost of this item, but it was patched. Wearing armor no longer lowers the health lost.
 * Telltale hearts stored in a chest will make an audible heart beat sound, and multiple ones will sound like rain striking a tent.
 * After a player revives a ghost with a heart, when other characters examine the player, they will say he/she is a "friend of ghosts".
 * It used to cost 5 grass, but was changed.
