Don't Starve Together transforms the popular survival into a co-op adventure, with a few major changes. ­For example, when you die in the original Don’t Starve, death marks the end of your game unless you’ve activated a touch stone or found an item

But in Don’t Starve Together, your deceased friends come back as ghosts, floating about the world to follow players and haunt items in the world. It’s not immediately clear how to revive in Don’t Starve Together, but that’s where we come in. For help on how to revive in Don’t Starve Together, check out the guide below.

Updated on December 30, 2023 by Gabrielle Castania: With the Winter's Feast event happening in Don't Starve Together and the recent update offering new skills for some of the characters, we're updating our guide on how to revive in Don't Starve Together to ensure it's as up-to-date as possible.

How To Revive With A Touch Stone

When you become a ghost, you might feel a bit lost. You can't interact with anything in a meaningful way (other than haunting objects, which usually doesn't do much).

However, if you come across a Touch Stone as a ghost, float over and haunt it to revive in Don't Starve Together.

There are often multiple Touch Stones per world, so be sure to look around often and remember where they are for when you need them.

Each player can only revive at each Touch Stone once per game. If you die again, you'll need to find another Touch Stone, or revive another way.

How To Make A Life Giving Amulet

The Life Giving Amulet is an item that you can craft in Don't Starve Together that ghosts can use to revive.

They're found in the Magic tab after prototyping at the Prestihatitator.

To make one Life Giving Amulet, you'll need:

• One Red Gem
• Two Nightmare Fuel
• Three Gold Nuggets

To revive in Don't Starve Together using a Life Giving Amulet, it's much like the Touch Stone: simply haunt the Amulet to come back to life.

Amulets can be made ahead of time - it doesn't hurt to have some on hand, so you're not scrambling when death comes knocking!

How To Make A Meat Effigy

A Meat Effigy is another item that you can use to revive in Don't Starve Together, as creepy as it looks.

They can be made at a Prestihatitator in the Magic tab. You can craft a Meat Effigy with the following:

• Four Beard Hairs
• Four Boards
• 40 Health

Each Effigy will be attuned to one person to revive in Don't Starve Together, and you'll lose 40 Health in the process of making one.

The Meat Effigy won't revive you automatically upon death, though!

Activate it manually from the top of your screen to revive in Don't Starve Together.

How To Make A Telltale Heart

The final way to revive in Don't Starve Together must be performed by a friend - no more easy hauntings to come back.

To make a Telltale Heart in order to revive in Don't Starve Together, you need:

• One Spider Gland
• Three Cut Grass

A Telltale Heart can be given to a ghost to bring them back, but whoever crafts it will lose 40 Health in the process.

The giver, however, will gain 80 Sanity for bringing back their friend.

You do lose an additional quarter of your health when using a Telltale Heart, so be wary of the consequences when choosing how to revive in Don't Starve Together.
