The Seed of Ruin is an item exclusive to Don't Starve and its DLCs that allows you to completely regenerate the Caves. It is dropped by the Ancient Guardian.
To use it, you need to go to the Surface and use it on a Sinkhole. Afterwards, a message will appear to confirm the complete change of the Caves. If you agree, the Caves will be regenerated.
Unlike the ruins regeneration in DST, the Seed of Ruin completely regenerates the caves to a different seed, as well as the Ruins.
This item essentially makes everything in the Caves, as well as the Ruins, renewable.
In Don't Starve : Pocket Edition, this item is unobtainable even after defeating Ancient Guardian, due to the game not being updated to its latest version.
Trivia[]
- The Seed of Ruin was added in the April 27th, 2023 "Don't Starve Mega Update" update.
- The seed completely regenerates caves with ruins, which means that if you forget an item there, then they are deleted (even non-deletable ones such as the Eye Bone).
