The Maxwell Statue is a naturally-spawning Structure that can be found in all worlds of Adventure Mode and rarely in Sandbox Mode in various Set Pieces. It can be mined with a Pickaxe, Opulent Pickaxe or Pick/Axe to obtain Marble. Gunpowder and Slurtle Slime can also be used for the same effect. It is also used by Maxwell to lock Wes in an invisible chamber.

If the player destroys the Maxwell Statue that is present in the final chapter of Adventure Mode (Epilogue: Checkmate), 3-4 Clockwork Monsters will spawn around the statue, and the player's sanity level will drop to 0 immediately. The player must kill all the mobs to restore sanity.

Reign of Giants

In the Reign of Giants DLC, the Maxwell Statue is more common in Sandbox Mode and is usually found in small Chess Biome Set Pieces guarded by Clockwork Monsters. The Old Bell and the Weather Pain can also be used to destroy the Statue.

In Don't Starve Together, mining the Maxwell Statue will additionally drop a Sketch for Sculpting a Kingly Figure. Mining the statue also unlocks the chess piece in the world, allowing Tumbleweeds to drop the sketch. Because of the Story Line progressing, characters have different quotes for the statue.

Trivia

• This structure was added on the A Little Rain Must Fall Update, but only naturally generated in the Doorway to Adventure Update.
