How to unlock the The Silent achievement in Don't Starve: Giant Edition - Definitive Guide
Wes is a character that spawns in adventure mode. He can only appear in specific worlds (A Cold Reception, The King of Winter, The Game is Afoot, Archipelago). He will appear for you if you don't have him, In the 3rd adventure mode world you reach through progression (playing the first world 3 times wouldn't count). People have reported that if you get Two Worlds for your 3rd world (Wes can't spawn on this map), that starting another adventure mode on the second save spot resulted in him turning up in the first world. The image below shows what the area Wes appears in looks like, this area only spawns for Wes. There will be 2 Maxwell statues you have to mine, after each a wave of clockwork monsters will spawn and you have to defeat them. Then when you approach Wes, more will spawn and you will have to defeat those as well. Once you kill the last monster Wes will fall to the ground and the trophy will unlock. Remember the maps are random so the overall map won't look the same for you.
The fight can be quite tough so make sure you have log armor and weapons for it. Also it's ideal if you are playing the robot as each clockwork monster drops 2 gears, giving you huge amounts of health back. I'd also recommend backing up your save to the cloud or usb before you attempt it just in case you die.
Wes's unique features are:
- He doesn't talk.
- His hunger drains faster than other characters and his melee attacks also do less damage.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have your game updated to the most recent patch as Wes used to be glitched on save slots other than 1.
Here is what the area looks like that Wes will always spawn in:
In the third chapter of Adventure Mode, a set piece MAY appear (if the map is not Two Worlds), which will have two chambers with a Maxwell Statue in each one, and a third one with Wes in the middle.
If it doesn't appear you will have to die and make it back to the third chapter.
When players break one of the statues, it will release various non-damaged Clockwork Monsters. After breaking all the statues and defeating the Clockwork Monsters, go to the chamber where Wes is trapped. More Bishops, Knights and Rooks will spawn and the player will need to defeat them.
After all monsters are cleared, Wes will pass out, fall on the ground, and disappear. Wes will then be unlocked as a playable character.
