Thank you for this. Man, I remember teenager me stealing an egg and then realizing you could hatch it. That really excited me and I loved my birdie. I was in so much pain when it suddenly attacked me 🥲
FINALLY! I'm so glad someone found a way to keep these guys. Honestly, I think it's really messed up and not very fun to have them turn on you after all the work you put into raising them. I understand that it (sort of) works in terms of story, but the gameplay suffers deeply for it. Thanks for this!
@@BriarPatchNyra This may not be the answer but wild birds that mature are their own independent adults and I'm guessing they turn to instinct, and in this game I think it may be just to attack the player and reproduce
Tallbirds are like a card game archetype that the devs forgot about. Just like those unloved archetypes, tallbirds deserve some love. Maybe create a coop system? Or maybe buildings to make this strategy viable? Or maybe a buildable that can cover an empty nest which pacifies the birds and allows them to be recruited? I think the community would react positively to any form of tallbird support.
Tallbirds are a remnant of the nihilistic undercurrents that pervaded early Don't Starve. You risk your life to get this egg, you put your heart and soul into incubating and nurturing this little creature, and what happens? How are you rewarded for this one time you made an effort to protect life, instead of destroying it? This creature you brought into being turns on you the first chance it gets, the moment it wants for independence. It was just depending on you for survival, and you projected your human thoughts and fears onto it because it was cute, but it never loved you back; because ultimately, it's just another vicious wild beast in this hell we call home. What's the point in ever being more than that?
Permanent Tallbird followers (without glitching the game, and with regular Tallbird stats) would be so cool. I feel like the only way it could be implemented without breaking the game would be to make the way of doing so be quite difficult. Like maybe you have to provide it with affection, like beefalo, but not as complicated, and once it becomes fully grown, it won’t turn on you.
I think they should change the system a lil, they shoud be passive towards u when they become tallbirds, but they wont fight for u, instead when they lay an egg, the egg will hatch to become a smallish tallbird that will fight for you, as a reward i guess, but when they grow old they are neatrual
Seems like a design flaw that this bird that has imprinted on you suddenly is like "NoW I mUSt kiLL paREnt" Unless, I guess, adult tallbirds are all aggressive to each other, but...
man, you make real good and infomative videos thought about making a cool army of tallbirds before but quickly abandoned the idea after learning the limited time thingy personally, i think that feature should be removed by klei so more people will atleast try it but you managed to do it for them, thanks!
Tall Bird, they are such an iconic mob in the game, I remember when I google about it, and how to hatch them. Man the many attends to keep them alive, the many hours lost because they die so easily.
@@asurveillancecamera3392 the fact that you still dont know that you're adopted doesn't mean they dont i mean "yes ofcorse this single human birthed me as a bird"
@@blacklight683 because birds that fight everything they see to death, including their own children/parents, are known for their common sense and logic
With a gloomer goop, Phlegm, some nightmare fuel and a durian you can make a growth coagulator with stops the smallish tallbird growth for 15 days, them they will grow intro tallbirds if not given the growth coagulator again (just a ideia)
army of man children acquired somehow I came across two naturally occuring Smallish Tallbirds attacking a regular Tallbird to death, I was very confused because I'm pretty sure they're only supposed to happen through player intervention.
on dedicated servers, i'd guess that they will be left behind at the spot you disconnected/changed shards at. they'll be considered "unbonded" until you rejoin or someone else gets close enough, or maybe they'll simply be neutral. heck, maybe they WILL grow onto fully grown tallbirds. either way, if they do not change into fully grown tallbirds, they'll still be left behind and can starve to death!
idea time: “Loyal Tallbird” Same stats as a tallbird, but instead is loyal to the person who grew them. Their max hunger doubles as well. They do not murder you or your friends (unless you attack them) I don’t know how it should look, but you can decide. You are allowed to name them since they are truly loyal to you now, and they give a small sanity gain. 1 every second. I don’t know if smallish tallbirds can go into caves, but if they can’t. Loyal tallbirds DO go in the caves. The loyal tallbird will crap out an egg every like, 10 - 15 days. Way more time than a normal tallbird. BUT they get mad if you take it, So watch out. If you want a loyal tallbird, you must meet these requirements: Keep hunger above half (30) Make sure it is never below 15% HP dont feed it rot or any spoiled food. THATS ALL I CAN THINK OF THANKS
If they don't improve or make it so you can keep these birds then why not just make a mod that does that so we don't have to suffer from putting so much effort into raising a bird just for it to attack you once it's an "adult"
The development of the Tallbird really feels like a horror story to me. First it's an egg that you diligently, raise, then a cute little chick, and then it's legs grow in in that unsettling animation, the sign that your child is becoming slowly a monster. And then, it does. It literally sees red and attacks it's former caretaker in a shocking betrayal. Maybe that's just me, though. I lived next to a Tallbird nest in one of my early worlds, so they've always been oddly unsettling to me.
Wouldn’t this be cool if it was intentional like what if the transmission from smallish to tall is at a certain point when the smallish body is ready to become tall some thing triggers in there brain to cause a serge of aggravation make something switch on in there brain and the pan flute calms the nerves through inducing sleep
It's actually good if they won't follow you everywhere. I don't want to risk getting them killed while raiding a boss or fighting hounds. Just fence them, keep them away from danger and remember to feed them everyday until they grow up and build nests. That's all I expect.
This is like the rapunzel story I had to wall them off from the world and drop food occasionally for them it was so sad cause I also fought a bunch of hounds to keep them 😢
well, the strongest follower that you can have outside the caves is the crafted salamander(600 hp, 40 damage) crafted by Wormwood, it deals 2 damage more than the smallish-tallbird
Thank you for posting this video, I didn't even know you could get followers in this game. Having Iraq lobsters and pigmen following me makes things so much easier, and I'm working on raising my first tallbird now.
Very cool. This seems great if you want their nests in specific places, since it's hard to wall them when they are big. Reminds me of the krampus glitch, so it might work with an ice staff? Also, do you still need to feed them after they grow up?
I think the best follower is bunnymen, the only thing we need is a single carrot then multiplied it by make the chaos between them, 2 days later make an army with it, this tallbird needs alot of panflute, panflute came from mandrake which is quite rare if u play survival mode.
meanwhile me (a wigfrid main) going around my map clapping the cheeks of every tallbird I find and stealing their eggs just to have food during winter and summer (I can't bother to stay away from a campfire)
nah this is gotta be fake, no way i only found this out after playing for 5 years, i feel like i just discovered cosmical knowledge the gods kept away from me.
I got my tallbird to extinction by accident by making dragonfly fly through the only tallbird nest in the entire world, can I get them back? I play on regular don't starve

Are you not meant to eat them?

"Forever" if you don´t log out ;)
Just pause the game.
/s
I really WISH they make this a real intended feature legimately years after raising tallbirds became a thing and only now this is discovered
man, you make real good and infomative videos

you should add "Exploit" to the title, as it is clearly an unintended exploit (signified by reloading server fixing tallbird state)

Man, i think even with this trick, isn't worth.
as useless as one would expect this to be, but maybe a fun thing once a blue moon or something
That thud that plays when you cancel the transformation makes my hair stand
We need a mod that prevents them from reaching adulthood
Tall birds deserve nothing but pain in suffering
I got my tallbird to extinction by accident by making dragonfly fly through the only tallbird nest in the entire world, can I get them back? I play on regular don't starve
the devs really should add this into the game. why would they betray the one who raised them once they turn into adult
Forever unless...
wow this was a v niche discovery! thank u
Seems like a bug, maybe Klei will fix it
Aw man I didn't think about hatching them, I just fried the egg 😰
I saw tallbird killing baby tallbird
thats a thing you CAN DOO WHAT
Wait so when you save and end it turns your tallbird against you
great video!
Here before it gets patched
1:00 My brain:Death fauder/bait
If you love them let them free… then eat them.
niiiiiiice i dont even know you did find this mush be hard thx man
4:56 stops working if you exit the game?? So only good for one day (IRL) of game play???
great
so... bug or feature?
I don't think it is a bug.
Wait so what is the point of it if looking out gets rid of it??

Anyway can we befriend monster too in dont starve pocket edition??
