valheim-chat

[native lava]

fml ok thank you

[sharp bluff]

here's the thing: tower shields are pretty crap because they cant parry and parrying is the most efficient way to wipe out enemies

[teal tiger]

Welcome to Ashlands. It doesn't just look like hell.

[vocal vale]

Use queen power next time

[teal tiger]

True. Parrying is ridiculously good.

[vocal vale]

Unless you’re in a situation where there’s too many things to parry then it works wonders

[sharp bluff]

when theres too many enemies to parry you need an atgeir, not a shield

[finite lodge]

do i gotta make a base in the mistlands?

[sharp bluff]

kinda? you want a farm there

[teal tiger]

Any recommendations for starting magic for the first time? I'm in early Ashlands and was thinking of crafting the Staff of Fracturing and Staff of Protection. Would the fire damage be a bad idea? It does blunt too which seems good for the biome, until I unlock further Staves. Do people usually do 1-1-1 for food?

[vocal vale]

Yeah but atgeirs are disgusting

[sharp bluff]

2-1 or 1-2

[teal tiger]

Which kinds? On melee I usually do 2 health 1 stamina.

[sharp bluff]

and on magic you kinda ditch stamina because health and eitr are more important

[teal tiger]

Very cool. Thank you.

[finite lodge]

my spear level is only 7 D:

[teal tiger]

I'm just gonna be happy to be able to actually sprint in combat lol.

[finite lodge]

i can make a black metal atgeir for mistlands but my level is pretty low lol

[vocal vale]

Luckily they have higher experience gains than other weapons

[finite lodge]

i think i wanna use all fenris armor and bolt through mistlands to the dungeon, i never have stamina with padded armor theres very steep walls everywhere

[vocal vale]

Do it

[teal tiger]

The ||cloak|| will help you with stamina.

[livid widget]

Is crystal only good for clear blocks?

[pliant hatch]

You may want to use Root Harnesk instead of the Fenris one instead.
As it'll give you a nice boost to pierce resistance.

[teal tiger]

Make sure to bring Fire Resistance Meads with you if you use Root Harnesk. It's a great chest for all the enemies except for Gjall lol.

[finite lodge]

whats the fenris cloak called? idk i dont have it unlocked i coulda swore i had it

[teal tiger]

There's just the Wolf Fur Cape in that biome

[livid widget]

There is Fenrish stuff in Mtns

I just got some

[teal tiger]

Yeah but I don't think there's a cloak for them?

[livid widget]

I think it unlocked the cloak

let me check

I got recipes for armor

[shy marlin]

There's no fenris cloak

[teal tiger]

Just wolf

[idle storm]

1-1-1 will not leave you with enough eitr to use magic as your main weapon, especially if your skills are low. You generally want at least 2 eitr foods and either 1 stam for mobility or a 3rd eitr food for more sustained damage.
Use staff of protection to cover the lack of hp (more hp don't give much of a survival advantage in mage armor anyway).

[shy marlin]

There is the feather cape (mistlands era) that matches pretty well with it though

[livid widget]

Yeah I only see chest and legs

[hearty quest]

Hello i dont know if i am at the right playce here for this but i have 20 fps in my base for no reason does someone have any tipps on how to improve this?

[teal tiger]

This guy coming out of nowhere with this blessed info. Thank you boss. 🙏🏻

[livid widget]

better gpu?

[teal tiger]

There is a helmet too

You need a cultist trophy for it though.

[hearty quest]

i have a rtx3060 isnt that enough? :c

[shy marlin]

How many instances?

[livid widget]

I don't know, I have a 4090 and pegged at my 140 cap

how much ram, Skag?

[teal tiger]

What stage of the game are you in? Once I started building certain Ashlands things in my base, my fps started to dip by ~10

[hearty quest]

32 gb

[finite lodge]

is a lox calf rideable?

[hearty quest]

very late game so ashlands stuff

[hearty quest]

i dont know what that is 😅

[shy marlin]

Press f2 and it'll show up, top right of the box that opens up

[hearty quest]

18715

[teal tiger]

Do you have a ||shield generator|| up? I find it tanks my frames the most.

[hearty quest]

you mean a ward?

[shy marlin]

are you running any mods?

[livid widget]

32 should be enough ram

[teal tiger]

Nope 🙂

Won't spoil it so if you don't have it just ignore me lol

[hearty quest]

nope only ward

[livid widget]

close any unnecessary background apps/processes. Close browser.

[hearty quest]

yes but just some quality of life stuff

[shy marlin]

Might be part of it, but 19k instances is a lot and all pcs will see some fps loss with that kinda number lol

[hearty quest]

okay im gonna try without it thanks.

[sonic haven]

northlands when

[teal tiger]

My guess is Christmas 2025

[livid widget]

1 voxel = 1 meter?

also, for the silver veins, do I need to clear the rock on top of it?

[teal tiger]

If you clear under it, it should clear on top of it

[quasi coral]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-peter-griffin-dance-mood-summer-ready-gif-4934793

Embed fail

[hearty quest]

could the performance have anything to do with my server?

[pastel latch]

yeah we cant share any images here :(

https://tenor.com/view/angry-black-cat-meme-gif-10177070146494894243

😉

[vocal vale]

The server doesn’t do any of the work it’s all on the client side

[pastel latch]

speaking about multiplayer for some reason when I played coop with a friend, when they started lagging I too started lagging in the server despite me being the host

[hearty quest]

deleted all mods and now im at 19000 instances

[livid widget]

you must have a massive base

[hearty quest]

its fairly big i would say

[river forge]

This feels like a newbie mistake for a multiplayer game

[wet lodge]

trying to sleep while wet pops "there are enemies nearby" now, heh

[azure yacht]

Because your friend was the chunk owner, their performance is your performance in that case

[wanton mirage]

In valheim,with lowest resolution and graphics settings my pc is getting 10-15fps,is there any way to increase fps?

[tiny tiger]

I had the same issue on my old laptop, it may be time for an upgrade…

[wintry cypress]

What's your configuration?, PC configuration

[wanton mirage]

i3 2120,GT 730 4gb and 8gb RAM.

[vocal vale]

That’s probably because it was always intended to be a singleplayer game

[wintry cypress]

Omg , you need to update PC , your computer configuration is too weak

[livid widget]

That's not a good laptop for games anymore

[plush umbra]

What's the best axe in the game?

[wintry cypress]

One handed or two handed?

[wintry cypress]

To play Valheim comfortably you need a 1060 3 GB video card minimum

[plush umbra]

the one that makes me farm wood the fastest

[wintry cypress]

In my opinion it's berserkers double axes but when you got they , it"s too late to farm wood ,then maybe best are black metal axe

[wanton mirage]

are there any mods or something that can makes the game playable?

[wintry cypress]

Idk

[pastel latch]

eh with the sheer amount of coal you need even in the endgame I was still chopping trees with beserkir axes

[plush umbra]

even getting bersk axes isn't really a problem, i wanna farm wood to just plaster ashlands with workbenches to avoid mobs being annoying...

[merry pebble]

the game is absolutly playable as is, if you want some mods you can look into #mods-discussion tho 🙂

[remote jungle]

Привіт

[pastel latch]

I massively suggest playing on 1.5x or 2x resources tbh

[merry pebble]

normal for the win 😤 ||just joking, play however you want, nobody can stop you anyway :D||

[paper marsh]

I don’t suggest 0.5x resources, although it is fun at first

[wintry cypress]

Normal resources are too slows growth progression too much

[merry pebble]

no, thats the normal speed 🙂 thats why it is called that

[wintry cypress]

If you playing with more than 2 friends it's going too much farming

[merry pebble]

i am not usually playing with anyone, so i am just fine 🙂

[plush umbra]

we are 3 and play with 1.5

[wintry cypress]

How are you guys surviving on swamp?

[nocturne wolf]

Not if multiple players have cultivators

[plush umbra]

we survived just fine (?)

we never lack resources for equipment

only for building, which only i do anyway

[wintry cypress]

Building have more bugs than features

[nocturne wolf]

I haven’t noticed any?

[lyric olive]

When's deep north beginning production

[azure yacht]

When they're done with ashlands

[wintry cypress]

Have you ever encountered a problem where, for example, a lox with 2 stars appeared in your plain location?

[merry pebble]

other than devs nobody has probably any idea 😄

[lyric olive]

Ashlands is finished

[pastel latch]

loxes cant have stars lmao

[azure yacht]

Yeah, in mods

[azure yacht]

Current ptb being related to ashlands explicitly states otherwise

[nocturne wolf]

Lox shouldn’t be able to spawn with stars. The host could’ve spawned one with commands for better farming

[wintry cypress]

I can give you a screenshot when a have on my base fk 6 lox with 2 stars

[azure yacht]

Because of mods or devcommands

[pastel latch]

bro you are using mods or you or a friend cheated one in.

[merry pebble]

or they have some weird mods enabled on the server 🙂

[azure yacht]

A screenshot wouldn't prove that it's vanilla

[pastel latch]

you are blaming the game for faulty mods or trolling friends

[livid widget]

They need to increase the zoom out for ships

[wintry cypress]

Me and my friends never installing any mods and we don't using any commands or cheats

[plush umbra]

REAL

[pastel latch]

then you being lied to or you are lying to us. simple as.

[nocturne wolf]

If there are definitely no mods devcommands were used

[azure yacht]

One thing is saying, another is actually being the case

The host used devcommands if mods aren't involved

Lox cannot have stars via normal spawning

[wintry cypress]

I told you no one in my party of friends never used any commands or cheats

I can give you a screenshot

[azure yacht]

A screenshot wouldn't prove anything

It would not change the fact that devcommands or mods are involved

[nocturne wolf]

Starred lox do not spawn naturally

[wintry cypress]

But in my world they got spawned 1 times when host got afk

[pastel latch]

and besides, even if loxes could spawn with stars. He claims he had 6x 2-star loxes in his base, a chance for a 2 star creature to spawn is 1%(?), having 6 spawn at once is likely dev command nonsense

[wintry cypress]

We got 3 loxs and we tamed them

[pastel latch]

your admin friend likely just cheated a 2 star lox in and didnt tell you

trying to be cool or friendly or whatever

[azure yacht]

Then they probably were spawned before going afk

Or mods are still the possibility

[livid widget]

We have 8 4 star lox, so there

[pastel latch]

kekw

[teal tiger]

Kinda sad the Ashwood Bed doesn't provide as much comfort as the Dragon Bed.

[wintry cypress]

In a simply vanilla surviving, after a patch with ashlands we got this bug with roo much 2 star mobs

[pastel latch]

sounds like the server host blud left the spawn edit mod on by accident 💀

[wintry cypress]

I repeat no fk mods and dev commands was never used in surviving

[pastel latch]

and I repeat that you keep posting information that is literally impossible to have ingame so I call bs

[pastel latch]

true, really hoped for more comfort items from ashlands

[wintry cypress]

I can give you a screenshot but , where a can post it

[pastel latch]

especially after they nerfed carpets

[nocturne wolf]

#valheim-help would probably be the most appropriate channel where you can post images

[vapid hearth]

...maaaybe I should've really gone for Hildr's dungeons, because I was too scaredy-cat to encounter the scary Ashlands-sounding stuff like Smoldering Tombs

[wintry cypress]

Smoldering tombs too easy when you got a good equipment

[nocturne wolf]

They’re all balanced for the biome they’re in

[vapid hearth]

I didn't know smoldering tombs were in the black forest

I thought they were in their own vacum

[wintry cypress]

In early patch it was hard even in padded iron armor

But now its easy in silver armor

[paper marsh]

I wonder how bad smoldering is with fists. I know regular burial chambers ain't bad

[vapid hearth]

Hooo boy, I can't imagine the horrible nasty surprise new players were in when they tried visiting the scary looking dungeon in their black forest travels that stood out frmo everything else

[livid widget]

What dungeon is that?

[nocturne wolf]

Shiny chests aren’t horrible surprises

[wintry cypress]

Black forest hildir dungeon

[livid widget]

Ah, haven't done those yet

[vapid hearth]

I've yet to tackle ANY of the Hildr dungeons from my efforts of trying to locate a swamp biome

[coarse scaffold]

is there a faq or something

taskbar won't minimize in fullscreen and don't see anything about it

[vapid hearth]

Alright, I think I've put it off for long enough
If I'm gonna sail for the Mistlands, I gotta buy two eggs from Haldor first and prepare the necessary living conditions

[wintry cypress]

https://m.valheim-map.world/ give you all information about your world , just wrote a seed and wait till your map revealed

[loud latch]

the special sword of Ashlands is amazing

[fallow acorn]

how do you make berserkir axes into thundering ones?

[haughty kite]

So brother and I are trying to play both have PCs with wireless controllers. My game is fine. But his keeps making him randomly attack and he can’t stop it right away. We have tried wired and wireless. Different controllers. His dude just freaks out at the worst times

[teal tiger]

Lmao first time I did Hildir's quests I did them backwards and started with the Sealed Tower. That was a lot of fun.

[haughty kite]

It’s a PlayStation controller on a windows PC

[wintry cypress]

Find a thunder stone , blue color founding in fortress to

[fallow acorn]

thank you

[wintry cypress]

No problem

[livid widget]

Or just spawn them in, like their admin does

tease

[loud latch]

you need Blue stone for upgrade

[tiny tiger]

Man I saw a video recently showcasing taking apart the run down stone fortresses in black forests and I’ve realised I’ve been farming stone all wrong

[vapid hearth]

Boooo, windmill does nothing if I'm not in the area
How annoying

[azure yacht]

It does

[tiny tiger]

Are you sure? I never noticed mine not working

im pretty sure they only run constantly in the plains tho

[vapid hearth]

Yep, I plopped my windmill in the Plains, and after being away from that area for who knows how long, it still hasn't processed all 50 barley

[tiny tiger]

has any processed at all?

[vapid hearth]

It has, but not all 50, I thought I was away for several days

[tiny tiger]

A lot of factors influence the speed at which it processed, how covered they are, wind speed, direction, it it’s foggy or not

[vapid hearth]

Okay, can mountains block the wind?

[nocturne wolf]

No

[vapid hearth]

...okay, good

[tiny tiger]

Not sure, they work best in open plains

I had mine on a rock by the shore of plains

[vapid hearth]

I feel like I'll need to relocate my windmill to my Yagluth portal area

[thorn wren]

Friends got stuck in a Dvergr basement with multiple 1 star mages (they destroyed the stairs!)
and when trying to get their bodies back they chomped food to get to 200~ hp, popped bonemass and yagluth and went down there and one of them even got corpse run

yet the mages were still hitting them for 100+ a hit.... I didn't believe them so I popped all resistence potions buffed up to 200 hp as well and went down, killed one, but they literally killed me in 2 hits still.

Why is their magic hitting so hard with resistance to those respective elements on me??

[tiny tiger]

Yeah you don’t wanna mess with 1 star and 2 star mages they’ll mess you up

[thorn wren]

So does their magic without resistence seriously just always 1 shot you regardless?

[tiny tiger]

It mentions in the wiki that a one star fire mage does about 195 fire damage and frost mage does 300 and 225 frost

[nocturne wolf]

Remember there is mead you can take to resist the fire and your cape likely has frost resistance

[tiny tiger]

Feather cape would give you weakness to fire too if it’s a fire mage

[thorn wren]

I guess I haven't played with magic stuff yet, funny enough last time I played through mistlands I killed the queen without any magic
but honestly, that seems completely ridiculous considering you can't really get more than 200-225 hp atm

[nocturne wolf]

Fire mead overrides that

[thorn wren]

dont have it yet

[tiny tiger]

I mean I don’t disagree with you they do seem really powerful but you know they make it clear not to fuck with their shit lol

[vapid hearth]

There's a reason they're not aggro by default

[grizzled hemlock]

has anyone noticede that in ashlands the rocks that flame metal ore spawn on sometimes have you float on it?*

[storm inlet]

hello there

[pastel latch]

yeah it killed me because of that

I even made preparations to prevent it and it still killed me ;-;

[tiny tiger]

It’s a known issue leviathans also sometimes have this problem

[pastel latch]

One thing I am still not fully certain of is using a fire resist potion or a feather cape have an effect on lava damage?

Or does it only actually reduce/increase the damage of the DOT instead of the main damage hits

[tiny tiger]

I believe it has no effect on lava damage only fire, the only thing that affects lava damage is the heat resistance from flametal armor#

[hollow lance]

Hello, does anyone know if the Lox plushie is in stock or available? I just ordered one and my order got canceled due to it being out of stock but on the website it says its in stock and ready to deliver.

https://valheim.shop/collections/plushies/products/xl-lox-plushie-60cm-24

[storm inlet]

no way theres leviathans on this game

i traveled to other continent i had no idea

[odd helm]

The site also mentions it not being available in the EU, could that be the issue?

[storm inlet]

never leaving soil again

[tiny tiger]

Yeah although I imagine its not the kind of leviathans you are expecting

They arent dangerous to the player for the most part

[storm inlet]

i imagine the reapers from subnautica

[hollow lance]

well I was too excited to get one and i clearly didn't read the EU part.. thats it thanks..

[tiny tiger]

Haha yeah no

[hollow lance]

any other way I can get one in EU?

[vapid hearth]

I can only hope the Mistlands I'm heading off to neighbors a Black Forest, because imma need it for bronze

[odd helm]

It might be simply a stock issue, it should only be a matter of time.

[storm inlet]

crash zone changed me

im forever traumatized with the sea 😂

[livid widget]

What is ZDO Active?

[round lichen]

ive lost so many levels to dying

how do i make up for this

[storm inlet]

is there a site like chunk base but for valheim?

[storm inlet]

oh i know

in your base go up you bed and jump

you will get lots of jump levels and is betther if youre using the deer guy ability

[pliant hatch]

Return to a biome you can kill things more easily and fight the monsters there.
Also go there to collect the resources to increase your other skills.

[storm inlet]

you seem smart

[round lichen]

ashlands brought my run from 84 to 70

[vapid hearth]

I swear, by the time I manage to get out of this mistlands archipelago, it'll be nighttime and for sure I'll be done for

[slender raft]

Good evening y'all

[vapid hearth]

Oh hey, a plains biome right next to the mistlands
I should have set up a portal at home base so that the portal I plop down instantly takes me there

[tiny tiger]

Valheim map generator

[fluid dragon]

@storm inlet
I use
valheim-map.world

[woeful yacht]

This is the way

[wanton shadow]

is there any new people who wanna play on a valheim world with me, i just want someone to progress with

[mellow junco]

Like rn ?

And is it brand new?

[wanton shadow]

anytime man

[wet lodge]

I wish you could prevent weather damage to wood somehow

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Shield_generator

[wet lodge]

ah yes, let me get that before beating the elder

[azure yacht]

🤷

[mellow junco]

Is this like a start from scratch thing?

[azure yacht]

You wished for something that's already a thing, there it is

[wet lodge]

what a dumb way to introduce rain protection, couldve just done something like waxing for early game

I wish for something that doesnt take 100 hours to get

[mellow junco]

There's roofs

[wanton shadow]

sure thing i just want to learn something about the game

[wet lodge]

plain roofs look ugly, and if you put beams into them the beams take damage

[mellow junco]

Ah sorry I'm new also I won't be able to teach you much with my 9 hours of experience

[wanton shadow]

we can play anyway if you want maybe we can get someone else in too

[mellow junco]

Sure if you want to make a base IL join in a bit (eating supper) all you have to do is is go into your inventory with tab and make a hammer to get stuff pick up rocks and sticks on the ground

[patent geyser]

then you're not placing the beams right

beams next to roofs are safe from water

[pliant hatch]

In that case you may look in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 for other players who're new just like you two.

[patent geyser]

for the most part that is

[wet lodge]

only if underneath roof

[patent geyser]

verify your placement

[wanton shadow]

i've tried that already cant rly find a server there

[patent geyser]

it's tricky but easy to get the hang of

[mellow junco]

Idk if that got buried @wanton shadow

[wet lodge]

there is nothing to "verify"

[wanton shadow]

sure thing man ill wait

[wet lodge]

you cant play the beams in a way that looks good, they will take damage.

[patent geyser]

ah well, if it's an aesthetic reason then yeah it is what it is

would you mind showing me what your roof with the beams looks like?

[wet lodge]

its in #building-screenshots

the center grid takes damage in rain, and without it the roof looks ass

[patent geyser]

ok I see what you wanna do

[vale river]

I know royal jelly respawns in dungeons, but do they respawn in the queen room?

[warm rover]

do lightning weapons stagger on every hit or only 20% chance? I see the visual effect always

[azure yacht]

The chance is for a chain lightning to damage nearby enemies

[patent geyser]

your best bet in this case is to shift+position them in between being above and in the roof

[warm rover]

but the normal stagger still works right?

[shrewd fractal]

Hey Devs, do you remember that this game is meant to be fun?

Ashlands is just.. wave after wave of constant enemies.

I get the difficulty is meant to increase but.. this is just frustrating.

[merry sun]

and isnt it?

[shrewd fractal]

No. Not really. Me and my usual tribe were excited to try the new content but it's just.. not fun so far.

[merry sun]

what the difficult the game is set?

[shrewd fractal]

Having to constantly feed a shield to stop your builds from being destroyed, not fun.

Having to constantly fight off waves of enemies with no respite to stop them destroying your builds, not fun.

Fast enemies, flying enemies, enemies that explode, all at the same time. It's just not fun.

[shrewd fractal]

Whatever standard is. We're just regular average players.

[merry sun]

eh, i got so many fun i got to beat the boss 3 times in a row. Best boss fight ever

[pliant hatch]

Have you tried to destroy the monster's spawn points?

The Stones of Torment and the Volture nests can be destroyed and doing that takes away quite a lot of the attackers.

[merry sun]

if you dont like it i cant do anything about it

[azure yacht]

I'm sure they remember considering I'm having fun (as many others I've seen do as well)

[merry sun]

the biome was made to be hard and frustrating

if it is hard and frustrating, achievement!

[azure yacht]

And better than easy but boring

[mortal raven]

They give you the ability to change the difficulty, the freedom sure does allow for fun

[shrewd fractal]

Yeah, and it hasn't stopped them spawning further out regardless.

Even ran around dropping campfires everywhere. Just doesn't stop them.

To me this is the worst update so far, it's introducing maintenence upkeep dynamics that other poor RPG's use to stall player progression and keep play time up without you actually achieving anything.

For me, it's a very worrying direction.

[azure yacht]

Sometimes it feels like they wasted their time on implementing the modifiers...

The solution to +50% of people's problems (especially regarding difficulty) have been there for almost a year...

And you still see people complaining

[hallow canyon]

Once you take a fortress you shouldn't have to worry about any but the flying enemies around your build if you build within the fortress

[merry sun]

? I literally got full gear in 3 days, idk what you are you talking about

[pliant hatch]

That's because for most people doing a step back in difficulty means the game has beaten them, instead of the other way around.

[azure yacht]

Triumph and pride precipitate a dizzying fall

[fading monolith]

anyone know what to do with friggas hand from the mod?

[hallow canyon]

We did end up adjusting the death penalty after arriving in Ashlands because my partner was dying so frequently

[pliant hatch]

Better ask that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[fading monolith]

will do thanks

[shrewd fractal]

It's not overtly difficult, it's just not fun. There's a very large difference.

If you disagree with me, fine, you're allowed your opinion. But to me this is a worrying direction.

[oak river]

i hate when i see people suggest making the game easier

[hallow canyon]

Once we figured out what we were doing, we've died a lot less (since he's playing glass cannon mage, he still dies a lot more than I do playing tank/ranged)

[oak river]

its already a built in function

[merry sun]

I only see 2 problems in ashlands:
1- More undead enemies
2- Fortress are all the same

[pliant hatch]

And mentioning that over and over again isn't doing any good to players who are frustrated by the mechanics.

Especially when it's not the difficulty that's the problem, but the fact that the number of spawns is the problem.

There's a very big difference between fighting 20 monsters at normal level of fighting two monsters at a hard level.
Both may do just as much combined damage to you, but as a player dealing with 20 monsters is a lot harder as dealing with two monsters.

[grizzled holly]

how much ram is needed (from a 3rd party server hosting) to run a server with about 5+ people on at the same time?

[hallow canyon]

I'd add all enemies being the same faction when there are some that clearly don't belong (Askvin, lava blobs)

[merry sun]

Friendly fire is here with a purpose, but i agree with asksvin

[hallow canyon]

Or maybe have Askvin/voltures one faction and the rest the demon faction

[vapid hearth]

I can't take this anymore
I just need to put my seed on that Valheim map revealer; I can't handle being in the dark on where everything is anymore
I'm so sick of playing a guessing game on what is actual mistlands and what's just an achipelago

[pliant hatch]

And admit it, Ashlands have the highest amount of hostile creatures in this game.

1. Charred skellies (archer, warrior, twister and often two of each) from stones of torment;
2. Voltures from their nests (often 3)
3. Lava Blobs,
4. Morgen,
5. Valkyries
6. Aksvin (often pairs or trio's)

That means 8 different kind of monsters; 9 if you anger the Dverger; to deal with.
That also means over 10 monsters being able to attack you.

Which in turn means that the moment that happens, you need to fight with both land based and airborne monsters.

Compare that to the Mistlands: Seekers, Soldiers, Ticks, Gjall and Seeker Brood. That's just 5 types of monsters. Or 6 if you add the Dverger.
Plains: Fulling, Beserker, Shaman, Lox, Tarpit, Deathsquito; again, 6 different monsters.

So yes, I do understand the frustation of @shrewd fractal

[boreal elk]

i wish there were mobs that could parry u back

[merry sun]

im actually playing in nightmare mode, to prove we can beat the game independent of how hard it is

[vapid hearth]

Oh god, default Valheim is already enough of a nightmare

[merry sun]

so i probably will understand that feeling

[shrewd fractal]

Gjall are at least interesting to fight, they add drama and dynamic battles to the game.

What do the vultures add? They are a trivial mob that mostly serve to block your view, slow you down and pester you. Complete nothing mob.

[merry sun]

despite having beated the game on Hard+ almost 5 times, i dont understand his frustration

[shrewd fractal]

Because I'd like the game to be fun? I can and will beat the Ashlands.

But am I enjoying it, like I enjoyed the other biomes? No.

[merry sun]

This is basically what greydwarfs do

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps because unlike you, he doesn't like to fight 20+ monsters at the same time?
Or doesn't use the Meta of having a staff of protection and Atgeir?

[merry sun]

Who said i like to fight 20+ mobs?

[fresh laurel]

I love when they chase me. They just want to give me a hug.

[merry sun]

And WHO said i used atgeir? Or even magic?

Mistwalker>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ashlands

change my mind

[outer spindle]

The mobs are just another form of environmental hazard. You just need to metal gear your way (which is really fast with the new cloak) or crash through on a mount.

[shrewd fractal]

I have the Mistlands atgeir, him and afl or whatever the name is.

But the sword is more effective just for the slow ability and DOT, at least so far. Even vs 20 mobs.

Yet again movement seems more important than being able to take a hit, so fenrir gear back on again. That's a lot of biomes on the same gear.

[merry sun]

The only weapon i really needed in ashlands was berserkir axes, the others is luxury

(The armors are kinda overpowered)

[shut cobalt]

My best experience on ashland so far is.. sailing naked back to the ashland with the bois, arguing whose to blame, why this why that, and dead again on arrival. So much laugh.

[merry sun]

You dont need the Round shield or even the tower shield. You do not need the Sword or the mace. The bow got a cool design. The armors are peak, and the new staffs are too broken, this is bc i dont like to use magic (or play mage at all)

[shrewd fractal]

I don't think fenrir is overpowered. Trollhide is equally usable for half the game because this game punishes you with movement speed and stamina penalties for wearing decent armor when your best defense is not being hit in the first place.

I feel 90% of the games armor is just poorly designed given the rest of the mechanics. But every game has its user traps.

[merry sun]

Oh, 2-h sword is really fun to use

[merry sun]

i was talking about ashlands armors set but ok

[shrewd fractal]

Haven't even looked at it yet. If it's not a light armor set it'll probably just sit on an armor stand again.

[merry sun]

There is a light armor, im sure you will like it

0% movement speed decrease

this is what i can say to spare you from spoilers

[shrewd fractal]

I'll probably just take the mats I currently have and wait for a balance patch.

[merry sun]

You will be waiting for a long time, Ashlands spawns was nerfed 2 times, and devs do not want to make it easier

it was much worse in PTB believe me

[stuck crypt]

Does the plains biome have a new bow? Just wondering if i should upgrade my current one

[shrewd fractal]

You keep conflating difficulty with fun.

[merry sun]

no, draugr fang is peak

[shrewd fractal]

Not everyone who disagrees with you is struggling with difficulty.

This is hardly a Dark Souls title.

[livid widget]

Is mistlands supposed to be like an arpichelago?

[merry sun]

Im saying it wont be nerfed, just it

[vapid hearth]

Well this is a surprise
I found a draugr on my starter island
I have to wonder where it came from

[shrewd fractal]

It doesn't need a nerf, it needs a redesign.

Art team nailed it, Ashlands looks cool. Mobs look cool. Mats look cool.

But how the ashlands plays? Scrap it.

[livid widget]

during a raid?

What's wrong with Ashlands?

[merry sun]

Eeeeh, i dont think so

its like an hide part of the map, you cant see anything untill you get there

[livid widget]

There's like all these small rocky outcroppings

[stark rose]

Is ashlands a laggy mess for most people or is the server I have hosting the game having a stroke

[shrewd fractal]

I'm definitely getting more lag in the Ashlands, and I AM the server host.

Parrying times basically went out the window. Doesn't seem linked to frame rate.

[stark rose]

Well at least it's not just me.

On a side note, wish there was a way to disable the heat wave effect in ashlands, or something you could make to get it to go away.

[vapid hearth]

I should craft a bunch of stamina potions so I can just swim to a nearby island without having to scrounge up ever-elusive leather scraps for a raft

[vocal rivet]

It is, yes

[azure yacht]

That's you then...

Not everyone will like everything on anything, that's just normal.

Just like there are plenty of others that dislike the biome, there are plenty of others that do like it. It's bound to happen, there's nothing anyone can do about it...

[merry sun]

It is? hmmmm

[glass parrot]

Why is one of the howling caverns not where it says it is on the map?

[vocal rivet]

Did you get it marked before the Ashlands update?

[glass parrot]

Yes

It wasn’t in the south though

[vocal rivet]

Doesn't need to be. POIs generally change location during updates.

[shrewd fractal]

We'll see. Like many others I've changed my review to negative.

Game took a negative step with Mistlands and it took a leap in the wrong direction with Ashlands.

If that's the direction the game will go in from now, fine. Those who enjoy it will enjoy it. But I won't be playing.

I play to have fun.

[vocal rivet]

It's still fun...

[glass parrot]

Oh okay

[glass parrot]

Actually, I marked it by looking at the map again and it was there

[ornate venture]

so excited to be back on valheim

[glass parrot]

My phrasing is poor sometimes. I did not mean I found it. I meant it was saying it was in that same spot but it’s not actually there even after checking it after the update

[azure yacht]

Well, that's how target audiences work tho...

You very simply don't belong in it, that is the direction they want the game to go to so only players that do like this direction will remain. This is also bound to happen for anything, including games, movies, TV shows, etc.

It's literally impossible to please everyone, so the best they can do is to please a specific audience, which is what they intended from the beginning.

"valheim is a brutal survival game..."

[vocal rivet]

Yes, it's moved.

[glass parrot]

Do I gotta check the map again hildir’s map again then because it didn’t move when I checked it a few hours ago

[shrewd fractal]

I belonged in it in the Meadows, Black Forest, Mountain, Swamp and Plains biomes.

I was one of the very early game adopters.

Mistlands and Ashlands feel like they came from a totally different dev team.

Mistlands still had moments that cooked, like Gjalls, but it's still quite different from the rest of the game.

Ashlands feels nothing like the rest of the game.

Like I said, if you enjoy it, great. Your opinions are valid. So are mine.

[glass parrot]

Will it probably still be in around the same area?

[viscid tangle]

Is it 1 boss per island or something, how does the boss shrine spawning work

[vocal rivet]

Each boss has between 3 and 5 altars in their biome.

[brazen geode]

a greater range of the workbench and those things should be inserted, the higher the level, the greater the distance

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Workbench

[vocal rivet]

You mean how it does?

[fossil delta]

Its so fun playing with my wife. "Hey, while we are clearing crypts, lets go into the mtns and find silver, kill wolves, golems and drakes, OH! See that fuling village down in the plains right there? Lets go clear it out with its two beserkers and shaman. Hey, look! We got barley and flax, and there is a tar pit! Lets go clear it! OK, now lets go back and level up our iron gear!"

[woeful yacht]

Been there

[vocal vale]

I like how that didn’t answer the question

I mean it does in a way but it doesn’t answer the shrines per island question

[vocal rivet]

It didn't?

[vocal vale]

Your answer could just imply there’s 3-5 islands per boss

[vocal rivet]

I.. I guess. Hm. My bad.

[lunar sapphire]

You can’t exactly work that out as RNG is a factor here. I’m sure there’s some mathematical / valheim rng system degree to actually work it out, but for the most part it’s random

[tight yacht]

lol when "theres a smell of sulfur in the air" meets M O A T

[vocal vale]

All you need is a single instance of two shrines on one island to say no

[lunar sapphire]

2 shrines on one, 1 on the other, usually 3 eikthyr on the starting island

Again, random 😂

[vocal vale]

The initial question that was being answered is is it 1 boss per island. Idk what random has to do with answering that

[woeful yacht]

I believe the answer to that is no

[lunar sapphire]

Depending on the island size you could have two moder, or maybe even two yagluth, personal experience - usually 1 boss altar (of each type) per island except for eikthyr

That’s were the random comes in - dependant on island size tbh

[vocal vale]

That’s just a lot of words to say no it isn’t 1 boss per island

[lunar sapphire]

If that’s what you’re interpreting then sure.

Usually one, but can have more depending on island size

[strange arrow]

i've seen a world with 3 Eikthyr altar all in the same meadows

are there any seeds where bosses 1-6 are all walkable?

more likely than not ig

[lunar sapphire]

I think there’s several but not for Ashlands anymore

[strange arrow]

yeh Ashlands is the literal cut off point for that

[hasty mulch]

is there any point upgrading Staff of the Wild? the text says it does more damage, but is that just like, melee damage with the staff or the actual thorns?

[woeful yacht]

I doubt there's one with the queen attached

Probably not yagluth either

[strange arrow]

i've seen worlds with 1-5 walkable before

a lot of the generation updates mean scouring again and again so folk may have found them

[vocal vale]

There was a nice one with almost all eik-queen. Moder was the only one not walkable

[strange arrow]

getting Bonemass walkable is particularly nice

[vocal vale]

I use to think it was funny reading peoples msgs about not being able to land on the mistlands shore. I’ve only been there through walking myself

[strange arrow]

damn, i had to sail past over 100 Mistlands islands to get around to where the Queen was on one map

hours spent messing with camera angles and bumping rocks 😅

[woeful yacht]

That's impressive

[woeful yacht]

I almost always land at nearby black forest or plains. Recently, I found an island of just mistlands and pulled up next to a dvergr dock

[strange arrow]

i didn't see much in the way of seekers so i got off lightly there, but night and Mist and fog were my almost constant companions throughout

no serpents either

i wouldn't describe Valheim as a "spooky" or "eerie" game on the whole, but that trip sure was

[safe thicket]

even on easy mode do NOT piss off the dverger

[strange arrow]

they get mad fast and have big blasty staffs

luckily if you trigger one camp, the next one won't notice

[safe thicket]

had some ticks om ,e in their base used the iron sledge to get them off.. almost didn't get back to the boat

[strange arrow]

yeah if you swing a weapon or even just a mining pick inside their bubbles it's enough to send them at you

[safe thicket]

fire balls light your azz uP!

[strange arrow]

doesn't matter that you were helping them survive lol

[safe thicket]

no sense of humor

[strange arrow]

real "get orf mah lawn" grouches

[woeful yacht]

I generally just stand back and loot the corpses

Too dangerous to get them mad

[safe thicket]

yeah i dont go near them

[strange arrow]

i look for the nearest Gjall and shoot it from the top of their tower xD

loot spree after and the dverger are still friendly (the ones that are left)

[safe thicket]

need feather cape..this is sucking failing all the time

[viscid tangle]

Is an Atgeir solid for parrying?

[boreal elk]

i thought the bug where player tombstones dont spawn in was fixed

aint no way

[merry epoch]

Do chests in meadows that have loot respawn?

[safe thicket]

DONT THINK SO

[merry epoch]

kek thanks

[paper marsh]

pretty good yea

[cinder edge]

Did they tune down the modifiers at some point? I played maybe a year ago on Very Hard and it feels easier on a new server today but maybe that is just boars

[vocal vale]

nah its the same

[tepid prawn]

its the same and you start noticing it in the swamps mostly, meadows and bf don't feel that bad on harder modifiers, where you notice it most is: Swamp, Wolves and then again starred Mistlands creatures (have not played on harder than normal on Ashlands yet)

[regal spoke]

Neck certainly had one shot power at start on very hard

[tepid prawn]

also doesn't feel too hard in the plains

a 2 star gjall on very hard is certainly something

[regal spoke]

Can you tank a hit or it's insta rip?

[tight yacht]

any reason why a completely levitating rock wouldnt blow up?

do these not explode without support like ore does?

[paper marsh]

Gotta have bonemass firewine and 2-3 top tier health foods for that

If referring to the 2 star gjall, which has 200 blunt and 320 fire damage per projectile

[vocal vale]

You just can’t see what’s connecting it. Keeping mining out around it. The voxels can be invisible occasionally

Unless it’s a very special rock

[regal spoke]

Thanks Snail. Sounds like a seat gripping experience lol

[fluid cove]

goddamn, Hard mode is kicking my ass

like, i was chopping woods peacefully and this ninja shaman appeared outta nowhere and poisoned me to death

[worthy turtle]

does increased sneak do more dmg on surprise attacks

[burnt glen]

No

[tight yacht]

the darkwood roofs are absolutely gorgeous

[harsh snow]

Don't even bother with that skill, it's useless

[tulip nova]

Is the deep north the last planned biome update? For whatever reason part of me thinks that they were working towards 9 bosses and 9 biomes but I just dont know why I thought that or where I thought I heard it

[idle moon]

I've heard people talk about some sort of Ocean update, not sure if that's an actual thing though

[mellow junco]

its handy in the early game for hunting but the stamina drain is awful

[tulip nova]

I would love an ocean update to be honest. Im on another playthrough right now and purposefully spent so many days on the ocean in the night and storms just to never find anything. More risk more reward would be so fun for the ocean

and maybe items to ward off krakens and such for players that dont want to deal with it

or other hostile ocean mobs for that matter, because the krakens only spawning at night or in storms and rarely at that is kinda underwhelming sometimes

[vast latch]

https://youtu.be/j1Tkc05Vd24?si=aFZhUhTsrq96Ctjw

[plush umbra]

ocean as kind of an alternate route to swamp or mountains could be interesting

[hollow crag]

That's very possible, since now we have the massive boat

Could have something like deep north boss unlocks an item for the secret ocean biome Atlantis or something that requires the boss drop from the deep north boss to unlock and venture into

You know something like an secret biome that only raise above to land at night or something

[hollow crag]

Maybe like a dungeon more so actually

A secret dungeon in the middle of the ocean, that only appears at night

[thin moth]

Do most of you play on normal? I started a dedicated server and it feels like i'm getting attacked NONSTOP. Can't build in peace unless i'm in the middle of meadows. If i'm remotely close to black forest, it's just non stop.

Everything is set to normal.

[nocturne wolf]

Usually if I kill the enemies I won't have any more for a while, unless I'm in ashlands

[thin moth]

It's relentless.

[nocturne wolf]

You could build a wall?

[thin moth]

We're all still scrubs. I'm still just trying to build a house. I'm kinda close to black forest though.

I donno. I'm just a baddie.

[nocturne wolf]

Gather some wood from a meadows forest to make stake walls

[idle moon]

you can put some campfires on the ground near you and greydwarfs will tend to just run around in a panic if they are near them

[vocal vale]

Whenever you collect more wood that puts out a huge noise radius attracting all the boys to your yard

[idle moon]

not a foolproof thing but it can be helpful if you're constantly getting attacked

[thin moth]

Thanks for the advice.

Lastly though, my original question - what difficulty to do ya'll play on?

[nocturne wolf]

I play on normal because my friends don't want to play anything harder

[vocal vale]

You can always turn it down if you want it doesn’t matter what others play on

Lots of people even turn raids off or to low to enjoy building more for

[thin moth]

omg. The second I finally started getting my house together, the forest started moving

20 greydwarfs later.

[vocal vale]

Wood and stone delivery

[nocturne wolf]

And a few more stacks of resin

[vocal vale]

They should be dying in 2-3 hits anyway

[thin moth]

My club is still lvl 1 and just wasn't doing much. I was having better luck just hitting them with torches and running so they were on fire

kiting them - hitting them once - running

[vocal vale]

That’s insane

[nocturne wolf]

Do you have a flint axe? that will be better than your club

[vocal vale]

They’re weak to slash so use literally anything else on them

[thin moth]

I do.

[vocal vale]

I guess not spear that wouldn’t count

[nocturne wolf]

No they're not?

[vocal vale]

Oh

[thin moth]

What do you think the best bronze weapon

[vocal vale]

Huh club is just that bad then

[vocal vale]

Atgeir is the most op

[idle moon]

Bronze Atgeir

[merry pebble]

Club Is alright tho...

[nocturne wolf]

The atgeir is great for blending trolls

[thin moth]

do you have to throw it?

[vocal vale]

Lvl 1 wood club for Black Forest though?

[nocturne wolf]

No, spears are for throwing

[merry pebble]

Why do you have it lvl 1?

[vocal vale]

It doesn’t have a throw it has a super op multi hit stagger that will shred

[vocal vale]

Ask them but I imagine it’s because they’re a new player

[thin moth]

we're on day one of the server being up. i only have a few hours of game time in it and i spent a lot just runnign around looking for a spot

[merry pebble]

Oh, sorry didn't read the whole convo, my bad 😅

[thin moth]

i'm not in the black forest - but near it. trying to get settled.

[vocal vale]

Oh damn you’re even earlier than I imagined

[nocturne wolf]

You should've all had better weapons before killing the first boss. You don't get greydwarf raids until he's dead.

[vocal vale]

They clubbed eikthyr to death that’s beautiful

Considering it’s easy to punch him to death they really didn’t need better weapons for him

[thin moth]

we killed him twice, 5 crude bows and me with a club

I'm just an idiot for making my house near the BF

[vocal vale]

Nah that’s fine

[thin moth]

My usual tactic is to build a ton of spikes on the outside of a wall. Sneak cut a few pine trees.

[vocal vale]

Your bigger issue is your lvl 1 club tbh

[merry epoch]

Do the viking long ship graves sometimes not always spawn a chest

[nocturne wolf]

Do you have a flint axe?

[thin moth]

Yes. lvl 2

[nocturne wolf]

That should be better

[vocal vale]

You may even want to take a slight break from building to get bronze tools

It’ll make dealing with greydwarves easier and you’ll be able to gather wood faster for building

[thin moth]

I'm on it. Ty for the advice.

[finite lodge]

will lox die of hunger if they dont eat

[nocturne wolf]

No tamed animals die or take damage from hunger

[civic crypt]

gives any chance to become from normal boar an boar with an star??

[wispy path]

no, gotta have a star to get a star

[fair cairn]

you have a 50% chance to get a starred animal if 1 of the two has a star

[cold hornet]

Sup guys, is there a mod out there that helps with the constant kiln and smelter refilling, something like "place [max] of [material] into" instead of tapping/holding interact for all eternity? Thanks.

[wispy path]

yah, i think there are multiple mods that do that

[fair cairn]

best to get more info in #mods-discussion

[civic crypt]

but what is when no one of that 2 have an star, gives there an chance

[cold hornet]

Cheers on that

[fair cairn]

atleast 1 needs a star, so if you breed two boars and neither have stars, you wont get a starred animal

so. if you breed a no star boar and a 2 star boar you have 50% chance to either get a 2 star or a unstarred baby

[wispy path]

no 1 star out of that?

not sure i've ever tried a 2 and a 0 before

[fair cairn]

not possible

[civic crypt]

ok, then gives also no chance to become one with an star by 2 nonstar boars

[wispy path]

no, you have to have a starred boar, to get a star

[civic crypt]

ok, i was it thinking, that is an possible chance too

[wispy path]

no lol

[civic crypt]

then i must surch one with an star

[fair cairn]

yes

[wispy path]

yes

[fleet ingot]

Guys... Deep north when?

[pastel latch]

probably 2 years

[vapid hearth]

Uggghhh, I don't wanna raid a dorf base and kill everyone there, especially with how difficult to kill the mages must be

[finite lodge]

do wooden floors not block the rain?

[hollow crag]

Nope

Only roofs, or stone floor

or black marble, or i assume the new ashland stone floor

[finite lodge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1115488682372235344/1246754302769234000/image.png?ex=665d89ed&is=665c386d&hm=1df4f2eb7938f672ffa690156e9e1ec931f9f4446857878d05912d6609e4f7ea& lol no wonder this has been so useless

i just couldnt figure out what roof i could fit on that thing

[north pendant]

I know that 6k or higher instances will induce laggy or stuttering to the game, will dev actually fix/improve this condition in future patches?

[oak walrus]

fader and the ashlands in general are such bs,|| i love valheim and all its biomes, even mistlands aint that bad but ashlands is just literal hell, especially when the game lags constantly. my problems with the ashlands summed up are: why do you have to get the biggest ship trough between small rocks? why are there so much enemies? why does the game throw my friend out of the server every 5 minutes? why does fader not stand in the altar area its supposed to and just runs 300m away to fight some skeleton? why does fader regain healt constantly? and my biggest question by far is: just why? EDIT: oh yeah and my friend got thrown out of the game right as he died, he lost all his gear, all of it just vanished (max lvl emblem set and almost all staffs) and i have a another question, why is the fader resistant to basically all kinds of ranged attacks when you cant even get close to him??||

[hot fern]

could you possibly spoiler hide some of the specific stuff in your message for folks?

[oak walrus]

oh im sorry i didnt realise, how can i do that tho?

[vocal vale]

It’s just a courtesy thing || put two of these on each side

[hot fern]

the little eye on the right side when you hover over the text will hide it until clicked on

highlight the text*

[pastel latch]

the boss is only resistant to pierce damage, just like almost every other boss, furthermore the boss only regenerates health if you stay far enough away from them. which is very far.

[vocal vale]

They all heal not just the Ashlands one

[pastel latch]

yeah meant to say that mb

[oak walrus]

i know but it seems like he regens faster

[merry sun]

Bc It was made to be hard

[vocal vale]

Pretty sure they always regen from what I was being told by a dev. I was told you can’t punch bonemass to death anymore because of his regen

[oak walrus]

i was 15m away and had just hit him and while he attacked me he was regaining hp

[vocal vale]

I clicked the wrong one to reply lol

[hot fern]

they do always regenerate

[oak walrus]

i see, i dont find any fun in fighting one enemy for 3 hours

[hot fern]

it's just when you go away enough time passes that it's noticeable most of the time

[vocal vale]

Are you maxed out gear wise?

[merry sun]

I fought fader 2 times melee and 1 time mage

The boat is big and the rocks are placed to difficult the acess to the area

[oak walrus]

i have level 2/3 ||flametal armor|| and my friend HAD level 3 ||emblem set|| before they got lost somehow

[hot fern]

one thing that could also be an issue was: you said your friend was with you and disconnected, so i'm assuming the boss scaled with both of you guys there, and if one guy is lagging a lot or not doing much damage, that might screw you pretty bad

the uptime is important on every player usually

[oak walrus]

yeah that could be it

[oak walrus]

we cant get him to even 1/6 of his healt

[merry sun]

Lol, i fought him 3 times in a row

What difficult your game is set?

[oak walrus]

default i believe

i made the world like 2 years ago i dont remember but should be default

[oak walrus]

i feel like i suck at the game

[merry sun]

Valheim inst that hard Bro 💀I saw you and another people complaning about Ash spawns and How the biome is boring, but to me is like Top 2 Best biome

[pastel latch]

ashlands is difficult (although I played on hardmode this playtrough) but it was awesome

[merry sun]

And i died many times

[oak walrus]

i really like the biome but it feels hard at times

[hot fern]

it's relative to somebody's scale, so

practice makes you better, that's all there is to it

just keep doing it and trying, or if you're not having fun you don't have to

[oak walrus]

ive played since launch and have almost 400 hours, i just suck at videogames

[oak walrus]

yeah me and my bro decided to take a break

[hot fern]

exactly

[merry sun]

Imagine playing on Nigthmare Mode, when you die you literally get wiped

Im playing on that xd

[hot fern]

too brutal for my liking 😛

[merry sun]

Such a cool experience ngl

[oak walrus]

i didnt die once fighting the queen so its odd i cant survive against fader

[merry sun]

Turns the game in a SURVIVAL game

[merry sun]

I think everyone should try It If bored of Normal mode

[hot fern]

absolutely

[merry sun]

Im feeling like a new player

[hot fern]

i usually play on hard combat

[merry sun]

Asking about Black Forest and swamp tips

The point in valheim is, there sometimes you WILL CERTAINLY die, you only wont die if you are at your base with ground walls.

[pastel latch]

I recently beat the game on hard difficulty! What a journey it was, it was indeed quite brutal

[hot fern]

losing all your skill points is pretty rough though

[pastel latch]

was my third ever playtrough

[hot fern]

• gear on you

[pastel latch]

I died 21 times total, I wonder if thats good or not

[merry sun]

And ALL you items in inventory xd

[hot fern]

yeah

too much, then i just have to restart again in the biome

[merry sun]

Imagine getting 90 silver and get bited by a Wolf who do 187 damage

[modest silo]

love how i destroy the spawners but it does nothing. things wont stop spawning in ashlands.

[merry sun]

Infinite resources

Ash food was the easiest to get, bc i got like full blackmetal chest with new meat and crops

[modest silo]

Nah this is broken. why put in spawners if destroying them does nothing. not fun what so ever

[pastel latch]

its a bummer all ash health food requires askvin meat >:l

really devours the spare stock quickly

[near saddle]

can you not farm asksvin?

[pastel latch]

I can now, but at first it was a problem

[oak walrus]

im so cooked in valheim that i had to pull out rdr2😭

[modest silo]

shield generator doesnt even protect from mobs???????? what the fuck

[wary drift]

any helpers? Ashfang or ripper and what gem embedded you guys is stronger? Thanks guys!!

[pastel latch]

its only for weather and projectiles

its mostly for the fire rain

[modest silo]

so we have broken spawns and the generator doesnt even protect you. trash update tf is this

[pastel latch]

bro is coping so hard rn

the description itself never mentions any defense from monsters, only weather

[modest silo]

im coping? destroying the spawners literally does nothing. things wont stop spawning. this biome is garbage

[pastel latch]

spawns are high but if you destroy the spawners and clear out the area you really dont get many monsters anymore

its just when you travel to new areas again you see a bunch

[modest silo]

CAP

[oak walrus]

the ashlands is a pretty valid biome but fader... fuck that

[pastel latch]

fader fight was brutal as a melee but pretty awesome, took a long ass time though imo

sometimes the fire DOT skyrocketed and thats what killed me once and almost a few times more, no idea what caused that still

[oak walrus]

took us 3 hours and he was constantly around 50% hp

[pastel latch]

I was a duo and took us 1 hour and 20 min or so, we were playing on hardmode too

my friend was dead like 80% of the fight too lmao, most of the time spent was rebuilding the portal

[oak walrus]

am i shit at the game or wth

[oak walrus]

this is so real

but my friend was lagging out of the server 80% of the time

[pastel latch]

no joke almost the entire fight was trying to find the portal materials over and over again while finding new and more spots to rebuild the portal for my friend to go trough it again and immediately die

that poor dude, we had a lot of fun though 🤣

[modest silo]

Yeah this update aint it. Break every spawner and they still spawn.

[oak walrus]

this is exactly what happened to me and my bro

[oak walrus]

(we didnt have fun)

[pastel latch]

we did block of half the arena with a ground wall, this saved our asses a bunch of times

[merry sun]

Ashfang

[pastel latch]

the opening shots on the ripper are insane though

[oak walrus]

our arena has a single, 5m long wall standing, everything else is destroyed

[merry sun]

Ahh Goofy Copypast message

[pastel latch]

How does black marble health work? black marble has the same amount of hp as stone buildings but takes so much less damage from everything. The resistances to regular melee attacks are the same too according to the wiki

same story for grousten probably

[modest silo]

Tf? thats literally my expierence right now

[merry sun]

I cant be serious with another "Ashlands is hard trash update" comment

Try to get PTB version and play on It the spawns was 3x worst

[modest silo]

Well it is. im playing valheim. Not dark souls 2

[merry sun]

Go back to meadows!

[pastel latch]

the only time in our playtrough when the spawnrates were unplayable was when we entered the ashlands for the very first time, (we died), we literally had 40 mobs on ourselves.
Never in our entire ashlands playtrough were the spawnrates even remotely close to that again

[modest silo]

Brother stfu? youre just trolling

[merry sun]

Its easy and relaxing! You will be fine

[wispy path]

yep, i didn't even have a chance to put down a portal before i was hit with like 15 mobs lol

but that was day 1 of the pub test, i hope it's better now

[pastel latch]

same but our portal got broken 10x in a row while we desperately tried to surive for 15 minutes but eventually couldnt anymore

[modest silo]

ive broken 4 spawners. still things wont stop spawning.

[oak walrus]

alright we get it you're "good at the game"

[pastel latch]

this was on main release sadly

[modest silo]

its not better at all.

[merry sun]

IM NOT BRO THE GAME ISNT THAT HARD

[pastel latch]

I genuinely wonder how this happened, never saw spawnrates REMOTELY close to that ever again

[merry sun]

Stop yaping about diff, put the game on peaceful or anything

[wispy path]

:\ i put the game down after that happened - i was really looking forward to playing ashlands, but to go through that after the giant rock maze... i just quit

[merry sun]

This the only Topic you guys know to talk about?

[pastel latch]

the game straightup has difficulty sliders, if its too hard then put the difficulty down

[oak walrus]

no.

[merry sun]

So Just Skip It, this got boring too fast

[oak walrus]

everything else is easy, but not ashlands

[pastel latch]

they nerfed mistlands too much honestly

[merry sun]

When one leaves the chat another Guy comes with "WTF wrong with this update, trash biome tbh"

[wispy path]

you don't have to keep reading and replying, we're talking about valheim in valheim chat

[modest silo]

Thats fine. If things would stop spawning after i break the spawners. tell me. whats the point of putting that mechanic in if IT DOESNT WORK.

[wispy path]

too much, yes, but i did not enjoy it at launch, it just wasn't "fun" for me.

[pastel latch]

it does work though? its just that the spawners are another layer on top of it.

spawners in the swamp do that too to a lesser extent

[modest silo]

No it doesnt? im still surrounded by like 25 mobs?

kill them all rinse repeat

no matter how many spawners i destroy they keep coming back. This update is actually not fun what so ever

[finite lodge]

idk what good the wisps are doing, i still cant see anything

[near furnace]

wisps?

wisp light?

[wispy path]

they work... but you're never going to see much 😄

[pastel latch]

I told myself to spam wisp torches but forgot to the entire mistlands biome 💀

[wispy path]

my first mistlands biome, i had to scour like 12 dungeons for enough key fragments to make one for the queen. I'd have ran out of torches in like 1/8th of the time 😄

[finite lodge]

i found an ancient tree that my weapons allegedly cannot break

but havent been to any mistlands dungeons yet so maybe they have it

[wispy path]

ancient tree? i think that's swamp, with bronze axe?

[finite lodge]

no im in mistlands, my bird came to tell me my weapons are trash

[wispy path]

or Yggdrasil tree?

lol

bird is usually on point with those suggestions 😄

i've gone in with silver sword and then my next playthrough i tried frostner

[modest silo]

Yep. gonna wait until they fix the spawns until i do ashlands. this is broken.

[earnest fog]

Are you not allowed to post concept art in fan art ?

[modest silo]

Cant do this solo to save your life

[finite lodge]

are drevre rogues and mages my friend?

[merry sun]

Okay, since we're in the Valheim chat, let's take a look at the Ashlands.

Ashlands Biome

||-Hellish biome like the Nether in Minecraft
-Dangerous place
-Place with the most hostile creatures in the game
-High spawn rate
-Spawns everywhere ( Monuments of TORMENT)
-Fortresses are a meeting point for various Charreds and consequently Asksvin, which spawn near the lava and in the middle of the biome in question.
-Devs said that the biome was made to be difficult, after all, it's the penultimate biome in the game, do you really want your Viking journey to end in a boring way?
||
I just need to make you guys understand the biome isnt the problem here.
THE BIOME WAS MADE TO BE FRUSTRATING AND HARD AS >HELL<

⚠️ ASHLANDS SPOILER ⚠️

[finite lodge]

they arent hostile

[pastel latch]

they are neutral, they will attack seekers but if you attack them they will kick your ass

[near kayak]

AI be like huuuuuuuuuuuuuh

[earnest fog]

Wdym?

[near kayak]

Well AI art is kinda ass

[finite lodge]

i killed a mage earlier from my boat but couldnt get the loot cuz it was too deep in the water lmao

[modest silo]

Theres a difference in it being Hard as hell and impossible to even do anything as a solo.

[earnest fog]

I thought it was pretty cool so I posted it is that not allowed somehow?

[pastel latch]

they themselves dont really drop anything useful so dont worry, its the loot in the buildings you want

[near kayak]

I don't think there are any rules against it

[merry sun]

If me and many people did, you can do it too.

[finite lodge]

so they are cool with me robbing them?

[modest silo]

The queen bossfight was hard as hell. still manageable. Ashlands? not at all.

[merry sun]

its far from impossible, and far from easy

[wispy path]

i go to work 5 days a week, i don't always want my video games "frustrating" me after work - wonder if that's why steam people are not coming back like they did for mistlands

[pastel latch]

well yeah but only if they are too dead to reply ;p

[merry sun]

Play other game so, i cant do much in your case

[earnest fog]

Ok cool

[rain flare]

It’s game sense based on knowing how to play Valheim

You can’t just bash your way in like some silly first person shooter and expect to win or even do well

[pastel latch]

I mean you people could always just throw the difficulty slider down for real

[modest silo]

this is Valheim. Not darksouls. I shouldnt be having to sweat like im playing rust

[pastel latch]

bro the game description is literally " a brutally difficult survival viking game" 💀

[merry sun]

The biome was made with being hard as a characteristic so i cant figure out WHY the biome is BAD for fulfilling his goal

[rain flare]

You have to plan you entrance to the biome, plan how to establish a forward base, and plan how to explore in a safe way

[wispy path]

i could, but i still have the 2 hour journey to get my stuff back from the first time i died

[near kayak]

Ooga booga we're going into the ashland ready to fight Malenia ooga booga

[pastel latch]

malenia without summons is still such an awesome fight

[merry sun]

Id think the argument "Worst biome in game hard asf" is like that

[merry sun]

Maybe skill issue

[near kayak]

Ima go into the ashlands with only skoll and hati and a helmet on my head (preferably a pot)

[modest silo]

Well its not enjoyable what so ever. id like to enjoy the game im playing. Mistlands on release was enjoyable. Why cant ashlands be enjoyable? Maybe because youre getting fisted by 25 different mobs even after breaking the spawners.

[merry sun]

you know what? i didn't mean to make such a big deal out of your comments. i could have just typed “skill issue” and everything would have been formally explained.

[modest silo]

Yeah and thatd be called being a troll

[wispy path]

you could have, but we're not really taking you serious anyway, so you could have just said nothing

[pastel latch]

Dont know what blud is doing to get apparently 25 mobs after their butt, I've only seen that the very first time I entered ashlands and then never again.

[merry sun]

I tried to help and explain, but you keep saying "Too hard i cant deal with it"

[finite lodge]

are they okay with me just looking around the place?

[modest silo]

All you said was skill issue. Not a single person has provided any clear strategy. all of you have been doing nothing but trolling.

[vapid hearth]

I'm guessing I should finally get around to doing the Hildr quests before resuming my incursion on the Mistlands

[merry sun]

Instead of yaping about the biome you guys could ask for some tips.

[pastel latch]

yeah as long as you dont break their stuff or attack them they will be friendly, problem is you need their stuff to progress in mistlands. I can give some tips if you'd like

[modest silo]

You being serious rn? me asking how am i supposed to do this is not asking for tips? Yeah take your trolling elsewhere.

[finite lodge]

i can just grab it and bolt outta there xD

[merry sun]

You guys are fun

Ok i will make a list how to play ashlands

if i made it you can do it too, im trash at games

[modest silo]

There should be a way i could report people in this server cause im getting tired of these trolls.

[pastel latch]

you could but often the dverger count in the building will prevent you from running without dying a lot, but for the digsites you want to spend your time mining the special stuff so you cant just bolt out of there either

[finite lodge]

should i turn off my auto-loot

[wispy path]

you can - but i think you can also smash it with a cart if you don't want to murder

[pastel latch]

thats your choice, I never turned it off so far myself. I got real close with the amount of stone you find in the ashlands though :/

[finite lodge]

i picked up copper scrap on accident and one of the rogues got an exlamation above his head

[wispy path]

unless that got patched out, you can build a cart, and whack the box open

[modest silo]

Yeah im getting mad cause this biome is stupid hard and i really dont see a way of completing it and yet all im met with is "SkIlL IsSuE"

[pastel latch]

nah picking up dropped items is fine, its only when you break the stuff or attack them yourself, there is likely an enemy nearby

[modest silo]

Play me on a comp game like for honor or rust and we'll see who has the damn skill issue.

[pastel latch]

skill in one game doesnt equal in another

[finite lodge]

oh okay cool, yeah ive been running out to aggro enemies and bringing them back to these guys

[cinder echo]

Whole lotta skill issue going on this morning

[merry sun]

Send audio if you cry! I like to hear!

[pastel latch]

good idea, thats what a lot of people do and my own favorite tactic too, occasionally you just cant find any though ;-;

[merry sun]

im making a list of what to do in ahslands, im actually ttrying to help, just wait like a good boy

[finite lodge]

i only play hard games like peglin

[modest silo]

@pliant ocean These the kind of people yall just let run around in the discord? just trolls screaming skill issue?

[wispy path]

can you be any more unlikeable lol

[pastel latch]

I didn't discover how the mage homing projectiles worked until I died a few times to them and googled it, god that attack is bs

[near kayak]

valheim gamers trolling when it's not even night time wtf is going on

[pastel latch]

I thought you had to make the projectiles hit a wall at first, imagine my surprise when the mfs homed around them

[wispy path]

time zones

[near kayak]

more trolls here than in the black forest

[modest silo]

They finally have a game they are better then people at so they have to let everyone know.

Even though this isnt a pvp style game so i dont really see the point in doing so.

[near kayak]

"the ground is shaking" type of conversation

[merry sun]

What you guys want from me? Im sorry if i made you sad

im doing a list of what to do in ashlands now, im not kidding

[vapid hearth]

And even then I think they warn you if you attack their stuff only once (with them even threatening to cut off your hand if you don't stop)

Speaking of which... is there a way to destroy a dorf crate in one attack?

[merry sun]

its just was stressing like 4 people yaping about the game and how hard it its, i dont know about everyones life

[modest silo]

There needs to be a ticket system to report people in this discord cause you guys are out of control.

[pastel latch]

ah right, I think that did happen a few times to me, I was too paranoid to test it though haha

[wispy path]

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-homer-simpson-gif-13518564799186478937

do that renato

[merry sun]

You guys are literally trowing all your frustrating in me bc of nothing XD

[wispy path]

no, it's your comments "like a good boy"

[merry sun]

im not you boss to make you guys work 12 hours per day, stop yaping

[modest silo]

All you guys wanna do is scream skill issue. this isnt a pvp style game. i really do not care if you are better than me. Also Renato youre one of the ones screaming skill issue so what do you mean bc of nothing?

[wispy path]

what kind of creepy guy says that anyway

[vapid hearth]

Ahaha, understandable
Plus there's no telling if your one attack striking multiple spots will count as multiple attacks and thud aggro them instantly

[pastel latch]

yep

[merry sun]

Tips on how to play Ashlands:
-If you don't know the layout of an enemy's attacks, try to isolate them in the future and learn how to dodge and parry.
-Use your best weapons, armor and food.
Heavy: Carapace set at level max, Mistwalker, Spinesnap with frost arrows, Carapace blucker maxed out.
mage: bring all with you
-Always carry items to make an emergency portal
-Beware of hordes of enemies, analyze the areas you will be in well
-Don't approach fortresses too early, they are basically large concentrations of enemies.
-explore the beach before entering the full biome

[pastel latch]

I am thinking of making an ashlands base but the idea of a slime randomly blowing up half the building is something I dont want to risk

[merry sun]

There is any question you want to do? im here to help now. I dont mid if you hate me or anything

[wispy path]

lol - use stuff - got it, cya

[vapid hearth]

Oh god, so the Ashlands has creepers
I can only assume fire resistance wines are king in this biome

[modest silo]

See theres the thing. all of those i have done. I try to draw one enemy out at a time with my spinesnap and i still somehow aggro everything. then i gotta run around shooting everything with my bow instead of parrying and hitting crits

[pastel latch]

it really frustrates me how ballistas also attack players unless you put a filter on them but then they only attack one mob ;/

[merry sun]

Bro its the only thing i did in ashlands

[pastel latch]

oh my bad sorry for the spoiler, but yeah those fuckers are the best stone farms in the game 🤣

[merry sun]

ok i cant help you at all, sorry

[modest silo]

also i have the full eitr weave set with the frost staff fully upgraded and that thing is like a bb gun. all it does is slow the mobs down for a second or two. which helps a little bit but then they are right back on my ass

[vapid hearth]

Oh, it's fine, I don't wanna find out the hard way about stuff like creepers

[merry sun]

Frost staff is very useful against voltures sicne they are weak against frost damage, but isnt against charred at all

[pastel latch]

they are real easy to avoid thankfully, but again, detonate them next to a stone area and boom you can build a castle

[near kayak]

aww men

[modest silo]

i also have the frost sword fully upgraded but if theres even 1 1star charred then im getting fisted.

[pastel latch]

1 starred charreds do like 280 damage on hardmode against maxed ashlands armor 😭

[modest silo]

i prep hardcore for new biomes. got stacks of mistland food. fully upgraded my armor and also brought supplies for building and portal. Base was broken almost instantly and portal just goes POOF

[merry sun]

I also have problems with 1 star, normally i clear the other mobs before trying to fight with them. There is sometimes in ashlands you will need to use portals to just run yk? Theres some fight is really impossible to fight

[pastel latch]

a quarter of my deaths in ashlands are just me being oneshot by a 1 star char war

[merry sun]

My progress was fast after i start raiding fortress with full flametal level 3, and b-axes, bonemass power was the protagonist

[charred gale]

Asslands is crazy

[modest silo]

This right here. i dont see a point in getting fully upgraded Cara armor if its not going to do anything this is wild

[merry sun]

Warlock? Ye i got one shooted by a 2 star XD even with wine and full flametal set + ash cape

[pastel latch]

nah warrior

[merry sun]

I dont got full carapace armor, i skipped to flametal bc its too expensive

[pastel latch]

I never really struggled with the warlocks weirdly enough

I still don't know how their attacks work besides the obvious summon one

[merry sun]

i got a print of my first day in ashlands, 11 mobs against me, i dont fought it, just got out and sleeped for them to spread

[pastel latch]

we got obliterated on our first landing by spawnrates higher than we have ever seen before and since

the second landing went smooth

[merry sun]

i was just getting ashwood for building and my 2 asksvins died bc of many warriors attacking them

[pastel latch]

I tamed a 1 star askvin, tried it out with a saddle

[merry sun]

never getting my tames to journeys after that

[pastel latch]

it was dead under a minute lol

[merry sun]

Tamed asksvin should be more helpful in combat

[pastel latch]

yeah, major dissapointment, thankfully the food is nice

if only askvin carpets werent comically ugly

[merry sun]

idk why they even exist

[pastel latch]

as an infinite-type resource dump I guess, sadly they are hella ugly

damn I just got an idea, what if we could make curtains with them, or more pelt types for that matter

its such a shame they nerfed carpets though, the rested buff was already too short imo

[merry sun]

I dont recommend trying to build, i just placed one portal, stone cutter, workbench and the shield generator.

[quiet peak]

my valheim world doesnt even have the new boss altar

💀

[merry sun]

thats new

[quiet peak]

well atleast it doesnt show up on valheim world site

[wispy path]

just make a new world with the seed, and fly around looking for it

if you don't want to search normally, then that's prob your best bet if the website isn't updated

[quiet peak]

right

[wispy path]

that doesn't mean your world is missing the boss altar though

[quiet peak]

my queen boss spawn point is also nowhere to be seen, but does show up on the map

aint the first time this has happened tho

[wispy path]

there have been changes to spawning and world gen, and that website i don't think is run by coffee

[modest silo]

Im probably going to wait for the nerfs tbh. I didnt agree with the mistlands nerfs but i think this biome definitely needs some tweaking.

[wispy path]

err iron gate*? i can never remember

[merry sun]

If your map is old this can happen, strucutres and land are out of place in my world too

[quiet peak]

thats not fun

[merry sun]

You will be waiting for a long time, Ashlands spawns was nerfed 2 times, and devs do not want to make it easier. who knows?

[wispy path]

that's what relying on a 3rd party website gets you

you're welcome to create your own updated one 😄

[quiet peak]

well it showed on my valheim map

[modest silo]

That happened at the first queen location i found. My 2nd one spawned correctly

[quiet peak]

thats great

its always me having the problems xD

[modest silo]

How many have you checked? Might have to check multiple locations if playing on an old world save

[quiet peak]

only one

but ill check another one soon

[modest silo]

Yeah id try to find another one. Queen is a tough fight id recommend eitr weave fully upgraded with the flame staff

Also poison resistance

[quiet peak]

Alright, i was planning on attacking with carapace armor

but ill create eitr weave then

[modest silo]

Yeah i tried that too. Pulled out my eitr weave and it was easier. Still tough shes tanky

[quiet peak]

im going to fight it alone

so i will need luck too

[merry sun]

if you want to cheese it will be way more easy

[quiet peak]

is it harder than yagluth?

[merry sun]

absolutely

[wispy path]

yagluth is cake compared to queen

[quiet peak]

ah then ill definately need help

[wispy path]

most people cheese it with AOE weapons - i prefer to run around with magic

[quiet peak]

i mainly want to beat the queen so i can get ashlands gear

[modest silo]

Brother ashlands is a different beast at the moment. I find landing in the biome for your first time much harder than fighting the queen.

[merry sun]

queen is skipable, but the power is very useful anyway

[quiet peak]

didnt you need the queen drop to make ashlands gear?

[merry sun]

This is the standard, bosses are always easier than landing in new biomes

[merry sun]

Only the boat

[quiet peak]

Oh ideal

[wispy path]

mistlands is cake now - just don't fall in water and you can run if you get in trouble

[quiet peak]

im already in ashlands

[modest silo]

While i agree i dont think it should be that high of a jump in difficulty.

[wispy path]

15-20 mobs as i land in ashlands was not like getting to mistlands, or plains the first time lol

[merry sun]

mistlands was a cool experience, the mist hide everything from you even with the wisp

[quiet peak]

i remember living in plains when i was in copper tier 💀

[modest silo]

But to be fair those deathsquitos did shove their needle in a place that dont see much sunshine but i felt with how easy they are to kill it was properly balanced. I cant say the same for ashlands

[wispy path]

plains isn't too bad early game except for squitos that mysteriously appear

[quiet peak]

wait so killing queen doesnt unlock any recipes?

[daring helm]

It does an upgrade to artisan table

[merry sun]

shield generator too

[quiet peak]

ah so cant skip it

[daring helm]

Theoretically i think you could do that

[merry sun]

you can arguably skip all bosses

[daring helm]

You can get to ashlands without better boat if everything done right i think it might be possible

[near kayak]

It is

[daring helm]

Waiting for someone to prove me wrong

[near kayak]

We did it

[earnest fog]

🐝

[near kayak]

By jumping from rock to rock

[earnest fog]

[quiet peak]

yeah i did that too

[daring helm]

So we can say that queen is a side boss that is optional xD

[quiet peak]

so theoretically i can go to ashlands, get armor, and then fight queen?

[near kayak]

Yup

[daring helm]

Ye no flaw in this process of thinking

[quiet peak]

right

[near kayak]

Even though one shall not skip the best boss in the game

The queen is the best boss 🤓

[wispy path]

i would not want to be on the wrong side of the boat game there. i don't know what that big chonker was at health when i finally made it, but it couldn't have been much left

[daring helm]

You mean yagluth?

[near kayak]

Naaaah The Queen is funnier

[quiet peak]

i went insane fighting yagluth

but it was fun how it destroyed boulders

[wispy path]

queen was such a better fight - definitely the best fight in the game if you're not a lame-o and cheese it 😄

[daring helm]

Queen is boring without the spawns she would be absolutely easy

[merry sun]

Fader is def the best

The soundtrack and the attacks hit hard as hell

[near kayak]

Idk never fought him

[daring helm]

Same not experienced fader yet

[merry sun]

Mistlands was a filler biome in my last playtrough, we was too excited for ashlands and just rushed queen

[modest silo]

100% Queen was super tough. Honestly a really fun fight

[merry sun]

The only "cinematic" screenshot i got from ash is one with the drakkar

literally the other clips and prints are only the biome being chaotic as it can be XD

[near kayak]

True

[near kayak]

Really felt like a true bossfight the first time we fought it as a team of four

[tiny mortar]

Queen would be primitive without the goddamn seekers throwing me off every picosecond 🤬

[merry sun]

I literally killed the Queen in 1 minute or - bc Primal weapons are just overpower

Rooted 1 time = Death

(obviously with ash gear i was getting the trophy for decoration)

[near kayak]

Since I'm playing in max difficulty settings this time I have no idea how the fight will go

[merry sun]

nightmare mode?

[near kayak]

yup except not the stuff dissapearing coz that would be a waste of time

[merry sun]

a

so inst the experience im looking for

im actually playing on vanilla nightmare, with "waste of time"

i really wanna know new strategies

[near kayak]

what boss are you rn?

[merry sun]

going to elder XD

[near kayak]

we just fought moder with almost no death

only one death with 5 moder kills

but yeah prepare to have some fun in the mountains

[merry sun]

Wolfs does hit kill even with full iron set?

[near kayak]

Pretty sure yeah

Depends on your food as well

[merry sun]

"Just dont get hit"

[near kayak]

Weeeeeell

Hit them don't get hit would be the best option but y'know

I mean the swamp is not so great as well

random arrows from draugr are really not fun haha

[merry sun]

the only thing im worried its Archers and Abomination

[near kayak]

all i can say is gl hf

[paper marsh]

what settings are "nightmare mode"?

[near kayak]

max difficulty for combat, more raids, lose all your stuff on death, lose all skill on death, no map and no boss portal

[near kayak]

you can check it on the world modifier section btw

[merry sun]

there is map

[paper marsh]

hmm, pretty close to all the worst settings, I love it
