The Hostile Flare is a craftable item exclusive to Don't Starve Together. It is found in the Tools filter, requires 3 Flares and 1 Glommer's Goop to craft, and does not need to be prototyped.

When placed on the ground and lit, the Flare will shoot up into the sky, up to 30m away on the ground plane, forming the flare center. Three flare marks are formed around this flare center, unlike a normal Flare that only creates one mark.

Flare spawn

After activation it has a chance to spawn various enemies.

There is a 60% chance to spawn Deerclops if the flare center is on land, during Winter and there is no existing Deerclops. Should a Deerclops is to spawn, 5-25 seconds after the flare, the closest player within 35m of the flare center would be targeted. The Deerclops spawns 40m away from the player. Players can use the Hostile Flare to fight Deerclops more than once per Winter season, with the goal to acquire more than one Deerclops Eyeball. This allows for crafting of several Eyebrellas and Houndius Shootius without the need to wait for subsequent Winters. If the Hostile Flare is used to summon and kill Deerclops, it will reset its spawn timer of 71.8 days.

There is a 60% chance to move an existing MacTusk hunting party near the player if the flare center is on land, during Winter and there is no Mactusk within 70m of the flare center. Should the MacTusk hunting party be moved, 5-25 seconds after the flare, the closest player within 35m of the flare center would be targeted. The Mactusk hunting party is moved 40m from the flare center. Spawning of Deerclops and the relocation of Mactusk may both happen from the same hostile flare.

There is 60% chance to spawn Pirate Raid if the flare center is on water and there are no Monkey Pirates within 40m. Should Pirate Raid is triggered, 5-25 seconds after the flare, Pirates Raid would be triggered for all players, on boat, within 35m.

Trivia

• The Hostile Flare was added as part of the One For the Books update.

Bugs

• Currently, regardless of resetting the timer of Deerclops, it will still spawn on its designated day.
