The Dreadstone Outcrop is a mineable object in Don't Starve Together, introduced in From Beyond. It appears on top of the first Nightmare Fissure that a player approaches while there is an active Shadow Rift.

The Outcrop spawns the Ink Blights (Shriek, Rasp, Jitters, and Rictus) if the player gets too close. In addition, the outcrop is surrounded by Miasma, like the rift itself. The structure remains so long as the three Ink Blights are alive, or until the player leaves the area. After the death of the creatures, the outcrop disappears if it has not been mined, leaving no items. After the Ink Blights are defeated no new outcrops can spawn for three days.

The Dreadstone Outcrop is considered too hard for most tools and requires a Pick/Axe, Brightshade Smasher, Brightshade Bomb, or a Werebeaver with The Werebeaver III Skill to mine. When mined, it drops three Dreadstone.

Tips

• It is easiest to wait until only one Ink Blight is alive to mine the Outcrop for its Dreadstone.
• Wearing the Brightshade Helm prevents being slowed while in the Miasma, while wearing the Void Cowl prevents damage from the Miasma. Whichever trait is more useful to mine the Outcrop can depend on if the player is trying to dodge attacks while mining, or if enemies are distracted. Regardless, the Miasma does not deal too much damage in the time it takes to mine the Outcrop.
• Winona with Enlightened Strike Skill can also use Planar Strike to mine the Dreadstone Outcrop.

Trivia

• The Dreadstone Outcrop was introduced in the Terrors Below update.
