Don't Starve Wiki

Is junk, I think.

Wolfgang

Trinkets are a group of Items that can be found by digging up Graves using a Shovel, or through other means. Digging up a grave causes a Sanity loss of 10 points.

The only use for Trinkets in Don't Starve is to be traded to the Pig King and Yaarctopus in exchange for Gold Nuggets, and for decoration.

In Don't Starve Together, The Beach Toy can be traded to the Antlion in exchange for a Blueprint for The Lazy Deserter.

Ball and Cup Ball and Cup

The Ball and Cup has a 4.17% chance of being found when digging up a grave.

It can be traded to the Pig King for 4 Gold Nuggets, but it cannot be used in any crafting recipes.

This Trinket is known as "trinket_7" in the game files and can be DebugSpawned using that name.

Gord's Knot Gord's Knot

Wilson Portrait
The knot is stuck. Forever.

Wilson

Gord's Knot has a 4.17% chance of being found when digging up a grave. Gord's Knot is a reference to the story in which Alexander the Great was told that whoever could complete the impossible challenge of disentangling Gordian's Knot and release the tethered cart would rule all of Asia. He released the cart by cutting the Knot with a knife, and went on to conquer much of Asia Minor, before his army rebelled. It has since become a metaphor for solving a complex problem with a simple solution, by thinking outside of the box.

It can be traded to the Pig King for 4 Gold Nuggets, but it cannot be used in any crafting recipes.

This Trinket is known as "trinket_3" in the game files and can be DebugSpawned using that name.

WX-78

The Lying Robot has a 4.17% chance of being found when digging up a grave. It is similar to a Robot toy. WX-78 claims the Lying Robot's name is 'HAL', and is their friend, the name 'HAL' is a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which a murderous supercomputer named HAL 9000 is found. The 'Lying' part of the robot's name probably refers to the story Liar!, by Isaac Asimov.

It can be traded to the Pig King for 5 Gold Nuggets, but it cannot be used in any crafting recipes.

Placeholder Trivia

  • Under the old research method, Trinkets were one of the best ways of gaining research points (80 points).
  • The reason these items are known as "trinkets" is due to their file names (trinket1, trinket2 etc.).
  • One True Earring, based on the name and offering the highest appeasement to the Volcano Altar of Snackrifice, may be a reference to The Lord of the Rings, where the evil could only be vanquished by casting the One Ring into Mount Doom.
  • Appeasing the Volcano with the Orange Soda may be a reference to the movie Joe Versus the Volcano, where the natives of a tropical island drink large amounts of orange soda while asking Tom Hanks' character to voluntarily jump into an active volcano.
