The Night Armor is a wearable Magic Armor, often paired up with a Dark Sword. It requires 5 Nightmare Fuel and 3 Papyrus to craft and a Shadow Manipulator to prototype. It is one of Maxwell's starting items in the single player game.

It has 750 durability and absorbs 95% of physical damage. The Night Armor drains Sanity by 10/min while worn and decreases Sanity by 10% of total damage taken (not only absorbed by the armor). The sanity loss on hit is not reduced by damage reduction such as Wigfrid's passive damage reduction.

Example: If a player wearing Night Armor is hit by a Spider Queen (80 Health Meter), then

  • 80 × 0.95 = 76 damage is taken by Night Armor.
  • 80 − 76 = 4 damage is taken by the player's Health Meter.
  • The player's Sanity Meter will be decreased by 80 × 0.1 = 8.

Don't Starve Together icon Skins[]

Glommer Main article: Belongings#Night_Armor

In Don't Starve Together, Skins can be applied to certain items to change their appearance. Information on how to obtain specific skins can be found on the Belongings page.

Prototype Tips[]

  • It is useful to also equip a head-slot item which can boost sanity, such as the Tam o' Shanter, helping to offset the sanity drain while still having very high physical protection.
  • The Night Armor is especially useful on Wanda in her old form, nullifying the sanity drain, and allowing her to benefit from the bonus damage on shadow weapons, while staying more safe.
  • In Don't Starve Together icon only, the sanity drain does not effect Maxwell as well as the dark sword following the "Encore" update.

Placeholder Trivia[]

  • The Night Armor was added in the Insanity! update.
  • When paired with the Shelmet or the Thulecite Crown, the player is able to absorb 99.5% of incoming damage (doesn't apply to Don't Starve Together icon), enough to survive a Gunpowder explosion, losing 1 Health Meter and 20 Sanity Meter.
  • Wickerbottom states the armor transfers the damage into another dimension.
  • The Night Armor makes a "warping" noise when the player moves while wearing it.
