–Warly

Warly is one of the four playable Characters introduced in the Shipwrecked DLC. Warly is the ninth character to be unlocked via Experience, requiring 2560 XP to become available. On July 25, 2019, Warly was added to the roster of Don't Starve Together as the third character refresh and is available for free to all Don't Starve Together players.

Origin

“Maman Angeline's memory leaves her most days, but sometimes, when the taste of one of her old recipes hits her tongue, something sparks and she remembers... even if only for a few moments. Warly promised himself he would always be there for the times she shined through the clouds, and cooks her his favorite dishes from childhood each night in hopes of getting the chance to visit with dear old maman.”

–From the official description for Taste of Home.

Don't Starve Together Taste of Home Warly Animated Short

The animated short Taste of Home revealed Warly's past. Before entering The Constant, Warly lived with his Maman Angeline. Maman Angeline had a form of dementia, which prevented her from recognizing Warly. She sat in a rocking chair with a blank look on her face. Warly entered the house and played her music from the gramaphone, which she tapped her finger to. He cooked her Mussel Bouillabaise, one of her old recipes from his childhood. Once she took a bite of his food, Maman Angeline's memory came back and she smiled at Warly, finally able to recognize him. After enjoying the meal and seeing Warly, her memory faded again. Warly took the empty dish to the kitchen, but suddenly the gramaphone began to play distorted music, and Warly disappeared. Maman was left alone in the house.

His biography presented in DST's Compendium adds more details to his backstory:

Warly left a promising career as a sous chef in Paris to return home and care for his aging mother Angeline, whose memory had begun to deteriorate. His world soon revolved around telling her stories about her life, playing her favorite music, cooking the recipes she had taught him when he was young... all in the hopes of catching that spark of recognition in her eyes. As time went on and Angeline's moments of clarity became fewer and farther in-between, Warly became more desperate, willing to try anything to bring back his beloved Maman... That was when he first started hearing the voice on the radio.

Special Power

Main article: Portable Crock Pot

• Shipwrecked
• Don't Starve Together

Warly cooking all four of his unique dishes in Portable Crock Pots.

Warly begins his adventure with a Portable Crock Pot; in addition to the functions of a normal Crock Pot, it can cook four special food items: Sweet Potato Souffle, Monster Tartare, Fresh Fruit Crepes, and Mussel Bouillabaise. The Portable Crock Pot can be carried around and placed at any time, so Warly does not have to build a Crock Pot in order to cook his meals. In addition, Warly starts with a Chef Pouch that doubles the life of Food items placed in it; he also knows its crafting recipe (1 Cloth and 1 Rope).

Warly gains 33% more Hunger, Health, and Sanity from Crock Pot meals, letting him regain more Health and Sanity than other Characters from those meals. If the food would reduce any of these attributes, the amount is decreased by 33% instead.

Disadvantage

In addition to a 33% faster hunger drain, Warly gains only 70% of the Hunger, Sanity, and Health from raw foods, 80% from dried foods, and 90% from foods cooked over fire. If the food has negative effects on these attributes, the effect is increased by 30%, 20%, and 10% respectively instead. Ideally, his food should always be cooked in a Crock Pot, which can take valuable time depending on what was cooked.

Additionally, Warly likes variety in his diet. He remembers all food items eaten for 1.75 days since the last time they are eaten; if he eats the Food items that he remembers eating, he only gains a percentage of his normal Hunger, Sanity, and Health granted by the Food Item, while the negative effects are amplified by the same percentage. The percentage depends on how many times the food item is eaten before it is forgotten. The first repetition of the food item applies 10% penalty, the second 20%, the third 35%, the fourth 50% and finally the fifth repetition applies 70% penalty on the food values. Any further repetition does not increase this penalty.

Warly cooking all eleven of his unique dishes in Portable Crock Pots.

In DST, Warly starts with 2 Potatoes, 1 Garlic, and a Portable Crock Pot in his inventory. He can craft the Portable Crock Pot and two additional cookware: a Portable Grinding Mill to make seasoning powders, and a Portable Seasoning Station to season any prepared foods.

Warly is the only character who can use this cookware. The Portable Crock Pot cooks 20% faster than the Crock Pot. It can also cook food items exclusive to it and DST (see Portable Crock Pot for recipes). Seasoned foods have additional benefits such as increasing chopping efficiency, increase attack damages and damage absorption. Warly also only takes half as long (0.5 seconds) as other Characters (1 second) to cook food.

Compared to SW, Warly does not gain bonus Hunger, Health, and Sanity from Crock Pot dishes.

Disadvantage

In DST, Warly's hunger drain is 20% faster than normal character. Also, he is completely unable to eat food that is not a prepared dish from a Crock Pot. He remembers the food he has eaten for 2 days. The first repetition of the food item applies 10% penalty, the second 20%, the third 35%, the fourth 50% and finally the fifth repetition applies 70% penalty on the food values. Any further repetition does not increase this penalty.

Warly is the only character who doesn't have a favorite food, meaning he will only ever receive a dish's baseline Hunger value.

Tips

• Since the penalty for eating the same meal in a row goes away after 1.75 (2 DST) Days, Warly can regularly make Meaty Stew, Bone Bouillon, Moqueca, Fresh Fruit Crepes and even Meatballs without changing his diet. Said dishes are extremely filling and do not require intensive ingredient gathering.
• Since Warly starts with 2 Potatoes and 1 Garlic, Warly can cook Fancy Spiralled Tubers or Creamy Potato Purée to stave off the incoming hunger.
• Between the penalties for eating other foods and the bonuses from Crock Pot meals, Warly should always try to cook his meals in a Crock Pot. Make sure to consider the cooking times when preparing his food.
• The variety penalty is treated as a multiplier when stacked with other penalties. For example, if Warly eats two of the same dried item, the second meal will only give 64% of the normal benefits.
• While the Chef Pouch ingredients require a Science Machine to prototype, they are also possible drops from hammering Crates, making it possible to create additional Chef Pouches without a Science Machine.
• Thanks to the Chef Pouch's ability to extend the time food can be carried before it spoils, Warly can travel long distances without worrying about going hungry. He can also afford to bring meals that have higher benefits but lower spoilage times.
• If the Portable Crock Pot is not needed for a time, it can be used as a temporary marker on the map.
  • Warly can make more Portable Crock Pots in Don't Starve Together, allowing for more permanent map markers.
• Warly's full belly allows him to survive for 2.5 days before hunger goes down to 0. This makes him the character that can survive the 3rd longest on a full belly without eating (1st being Wilba tied with upgraded WX-78, 2nd being Wolfgang).
