What Does Suspicious Marble Do in Don’t Starve Together?

The world of Don’t Starve Together is littered with strange items, but few are as strange as the Suspicious Marble. Even its name tells you there’s something off about it. Unlike in a cutesy survival game like Raft, things in DST 0ften have sinister cons to offset their valuable pros. Suspicious Marble is a prime example. There are risks to using this item even if you can haul it back to camp. Considering how cumbersome it is, that’s far from guaranteed. Still, players who learn what Suspicious Marble does in DST will be at a definite advantage, so here’s everything you need to know.

Don’t Starve Together Suspicious Marble Uses

In DST, Suspicious Marble comes in three varieties: the Marble Knight’s Head, Marble Bishop’s Head, and Marble Rook’s Nose. After collecting a piece of Suspicious Marble, you can use it to repair a damaged Marble Sculpture of the corresponding type. You can then mine the completed Marble Sculpture on either the Full Moon or New Moon, each with different effects. If you mine a Marble Sculpture on the Full Moon, a Clockwork will spawn, as well as a Sketch and some Marble. You can then defeat the Clockwork to gain Gears and a Purple Gem for magic item crafting.

On the other hand, Mining Marble Sculptures on the New Moon will spawn Shadow Pieces. Killing three Shadow Pieces unlocks the Shadow Atrium which allows you to do battle with the Ancient Fuelweaver boss, so if you have your sights set on taking down this and other deadly bosses, you’ll need Suspicious Marble eventually. Keep in mind that moving this item is no simple task since picking it up slows you to a crawl until you drop it. Riding a Beefalo removes the speed penalty, however, making transporting this item much faster. If you have several pieces of Suspicious Marble to lug around in DST, it’s worth considering.

Don’t Starve Together is available for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch.
