“The beating of this hideous heart will bring a ghost back to life!”

–Wilson

The Telltale Heart is a craftable Survival item only available in Don't Starve Together. It can be used to revive dead players by left-clicking on the ghost of the dead player. It can be crafted without a Science Machine using 3 Cut Grass and 1 Spider Gland.

Upon crafting the Telltale Heart, the player who crafted it will lose 40 Health and 20 Sanity.

After reviving with the heart, the player has -20 points of maximum Health along with normal resurrection penalties. The health penalty received by a Ghost using this item can be removed through the use of a Booster Shot. Ghost Players cannot haunt the heart to revive, they must be "fed" by a living character.

Trivia

• The name of this item is a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's short story, The Tell-Tale Heart.
• Armor used to reduce the health cost of this item, but it was patched. Wearing armor no longer lowers the health lost.
• Telltale hearts stored in a chest will make an audible heart beat sound, and multiple ones will sound like rain striking a tent.
• After a player revives a ghost with a heart, when other characters examine the player, they will say he/she is a "friend of ghosts".
