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 GiantsEdit

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.

–WX-78

“He's actually quite a sweet boy when you peel away the ego.”

–Wickerbottom

“I'm gonna make fun of him for this later, eh?”

–Woodie

“It seems silly now...”

–Maxwell

“The villan turns herö!”

–Wigfrid

“We're still a little mad at him. But only a little.”

–Webber

“He is literally made of stone.”

–Warly

“Alive?”

–Wormwood

“So THIS is "Maxy".”

–Winona

“My old imp friends would like this, I think.”

–Wortox

“Look sort of like fragile scale-less man.”

–Wurt

“I'm starting to think that Maxwell guy might be a bit full of himself.”

–Walter

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.

TriviaEdit

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