“There's something glinting inside the marble.”
“How crazy would I have to be to try and break that pillar?”
“Mighty Wolfgang could break pillar!”
“We are all tethered to this place in one way or another.”
“STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY COMPROMISED”
“How odd... the marble appears to be encasing something.”
“Looks sturdy... ish.”
“I can just make out something dark within.”
“The pillar is weakened... mayhaps it could be broken.”
“We feel bad just leaving him like that...”
“Perhaps I could free the poor creature?”
“Where you grow from?”
“That marble doesn't look structurally sound to me.”
“A terrible fate, to be locked in this state.”
“Heehee, stinky Pig all locked up!”
–Wurt
“Hey, what's that stuff inside?”
“They seem breakable... but I don't think that'd be wise.”
The Cracked Pillars are naturally spawning structures exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in the Wilson Rework Update. They appear 2 in-game days after the start of a world in the Muddy Biome in the Caves, along with the Nightmare Werepig and chains locking the creature in place.
The Cracked Pillars possess a layer of Marble that can be mined to expose the Dreadstone that prevents the Nightmare Werepig from moving.
Hitting an exposed Cracked Pillar with a strong mining tool will cause it to vibrate for a short period of time, which will loosen its chain. Making all Cracked Pillars vibrate at the same time frees the Nightmare Werepig and initiates the boss fight. The tools that work to vibrate the Pillars are:
- Pick/Axe
- Brightshade Smasher
- Woodie as Werebeaver with the
The Werebeaver III Skill
The Nightmare Werepig's ground slam attack is the only thing that can ultimately destroy the Cracked Pillars, causing 3-4 Dreadstone to drop from each Pillar.
After defeating the Nightmare Werepig, the Cracked Pillars will respawn after 20 days along with the Nightmare Werepig.
