[turbid anchor]

we found her by accident

[plush umbra]

took us over 130 in game days to find her

[turbid anchor]

I feel like Zeus would beat Thors ass for some reason and i have nothing to back that with. maybe cuz hes older? idk

[turbid anchor]

oof, ye we found her like day 40 cuz we had a guy who just wanted to walk the entire map

[plush umbra]

it was just me and my brother until we got past plains boss then his friend joined up

[turbid anchor]

fair enough

[plush umbra]

now we are making new base and prepping for queen fight

[turbid anchor]

queen was a hard boss

[plush umbra]

this is all of our 1st playthrus and furthest we have been

[turbid anchor]

I thought bonemass was hard, and then we met the queen

[plush umbra]

bonemass is only hard cuz of all the exra mobs

[solemn hawk]

bonemass took me and my friend an hour to beat

[turbid anchor]

mostly coz of her little Seeker goobers or whateber theyre called

[turbid anchor]

we just lit a couple bonfirezs

[solemn hawk]

ion cheese bosses ngl

[plush umbra]

yeah u want the magic staffs to deal with them and give protections bubbles

[turbid anchor]

its not cheese its strategy ngl

[solemn hawk]

id say cheesing is a non intended and effective way and using bonfires is defo that

[turbid anchor]

yea we had the magic shields

[plush umbra]

i used fire arrows on bonemass as my brother used iron mace

[turbid anchor]

if it works, then it works, its not cheese

[merry pebble]

Arrows do next to nothing against Bonemass really
Same with fire

[turbid anchor]

yea

fire worked well

[plush umbra]

the fire dmg kept with never ending dmg tho

[turbid anchor]

bonfires vs abominations is great too'

just light that shit up right under them lol

[plush umbra]

staff of embers vs abom is fun af

[nocturne wolf]

He is very resistant to fire, that damage is doing nothing even if you sustain the effect forever

[plush umbra]

not based off our experience

[nocturne wolf]

You’re sure most of that damage wasn’t from the mace? Bonemass takes 6x more blunt damage than he does with pierce and fire.

[merry pebble]

It simply does only quarter of the dmg the arrows says it has.

[scarlet fossil]

mace is devistating against bonemass

[plush umbra]

the burn effect is what kept the dmg up even when brother had to dodge and couldnt get in for mace

but mace did most the substantial dmg

[merry pebble]

Yes, it keeps the burning effect, but the dmg it does is incredibly low

[nocturne wolf]

Ironhead arrows are stronger although more expensive

[merry pebble]

^Altho any kind of pierce dmg weapon is just not that effective against him 🙂

[plush umbra]

best arrows u can get at swamp is if ur lucky to have a mtn biome next to it and u can get obsidian early

i find so many swamps connected to frost mtns

[scarlet fossil]

youd probably be better off just going in with a sword than a bow

[merry pebble]

Best you can get in swamp are the iron ones or poison ones from chests 😄 in mountains you get obsidian

[merry pebble]

100%

[turbid anchor]

Im seeing Odin more often

[solemn hawk]

my friend went afk as soon as he wanted to work on my roof bro

half of my roof is destroyed i do NOT see his vision

[fresh ember]

yo can i play with anybody? im not the greatest but still learning

[shy marlin]

check out #1024264966712340510

[plush umbra]

#screenshots for my best ss yet

I'm actualy dead af I don't wanna get off him

[forest rune]

It'd be cool if the devs asked the community to build structures that would be found as world generated structures. It'd be cool if there were more and cool looking world structures to be found.

[somber zinc]

would be really cool if we got an ice equivalent of the dyrnwyn in deep north imo

and even better if you could combine dyrnwyn and the ice variant to get a dual-wielded weapon like skoll and hati or berserkir axes

because physically combining 2 of them into a 2-handed sword doesnt make much sense

[forest rune]

That seems a bit overpowered though no? Idk how strong the mobs are later in the game because I'm waiting for my friends to get into the valheim mood once more but two greatswords (longswords really) seems op.

[somber zinc]

i mean, if you can get dyrnwyn and the ice variant you already beat the game basically

what's left, maybe deep north boss?

might as well get rewarded for your struggles

but at the same time, this won't be 2 greatswords, its a dual wielded 1-handed sword moveset (however that would be designed)

maybe similar attack animations to the berserkir axes but i havent used those so idk

and also you cant tell me dual wielding 2 swords with opposite elements isnt cool

[unique helm]

Why does debug mode and nocost mode still require stamina? Why isnt there a legit creative mode in this game?

[fossil delta]

Saw two things I do not recall seeing before. One was two docks close enough together I could easily swim to either one. Second was we found two docks that were just docks. No buildings. Still had wards and dvergr.

[turbid anchor]

Wouldn't risk it as just a general world struture. i think player made boss/ritual areas could be pretty cool tho.

[forest rune]

Well the community could vote on things, like islands with destroyed castles on them or abandoned villages with player influence on them. I think POI's should be on the map more and the ones they have in the game now aren't that interesting or worth looking into. I think the Swamp ones. They look cool but rarely have anything in them. I Mistlands are cool and so are the Plaines, but the early biomes should have more in my opinion.

I'd also want more ocean related things. Norse Mythology has so much cool water based shit and I'd like to see some of that stuff in the game.

But I don't think that's going to happen.

[forest rune]

I think creative mode should've been in the game at launch but maybe they don't want to have the Minecraft influence. Maybe that's why there aren't a lot of good POI's.

[forest rune]

Oh it's cool, and I agree that it would be interesting to power stance two great swords. I just think the community wouldn't want something like that because it'd be op.

[tacit crystal]

Achshtually you can get frost arrows in chests found in mountains cabins and stone ruins and obsidian arrows in chests found in stonehenge POIs. ☝️
-# I know late in the party etc.

[livid zenith]

Or you could mine obsidian with an iron pickaxe

[tacit crystal]

Yes, but pointed out those facts.

[merry pebble]

But that is not swamp is it? 😄

[tacit crystal]

Hmm. Reread what I initially replied to and got different view than what I got before.
-# Heck I'm a menace to society without morning coffee.

[chrome badge]

I mean this is possible to a degree, just ask a builder to populate the world with things and send you the file.

[chrome badge]

The game still isn't launched yet, but this game is also not a Minecraft derived survival game either.

[forest rune]

I don't think this is an excuse to not have a creative mode as early as possible with a building system like the one in valheim.

[forest rune]

I don't think that this is a good solution to my POI's problem in the base game.

It seems this community holds such contempt for additions to the game that doesn't come directly from the devs tbh.

[merry pebble]

We do have creative mode tho

Ah, wait, reading the whole convo now

[forest rune]

It's kind of rough though. Still using stamina and other things that could have been omitted. Which was a complaint that a guy was saying.

[merry pebble]

You can turn that off if you want to

[merry pebble]

Yeah didnt read the whole thing first sorry bout that 😄

[tacit crystal]

-# Remember your coffee. ☕

[merry pebble]

XD

[somber zinc]

now that i think about it, is dyrnwyn even that good? or is it just a "cool factor" weapon?

[vocal rivet]

The latter.

[west mica]

I'd be so into a game based on the mythology of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
One biome per country.

[unreal bear]

it's possible it could be good in the next biome. I imagine icy creatures may be weak to fire. also if we get an item to upgrade black forge further, dyrwyn sword could be better after fully upgraded

[shy marlin]

It needs more fire damage to be good (it only does 10)

Rn it's an objectively worse cousin to the enchanted 1h swords

[tacit crystal]

Either that or special fiery effect.

[light moat]

Definitely something.

[west mica]

Is there normally a Dverger house underneath The Queen entrance? I destroyed a couple of black marble blocks and made myself a forward operating base for the fight.

[nocturne wolf]

The queen's entrance is always the same

[tacit crystal]

It's always there.

[west mica]

Ah cool. Suprised none of the videos I watched suggested using it.

People normally seem to set up the FOB on the top but I thought this way its a bit more protected.

[fossil delta]

It is better.

You don't need to be risking seekers jumping you on a death run.

[dark coyote]

I just put a portal down outside and a couple campfires

[fossil delta]

I still do inside. Spawn blocking doesn't always stop everything.

Then again, most people don't replay Valheim as often as I do.

[dark coyote]

yeah I've yet to fight a boss twice, per world anyway

[fossil delta]

I've lost count. Even on the Queen. Its over 4,600 hours of replaying.

I've yet to fight Fader, so that is the only one I have a solid count on.

[unreal bear]

yeah it's always there. good to have a bed there, chest full of food, and some furniture around to make it comfy. so if you die, you just respawn right outside the arena, eat, get rested, and run back in.. too much time outside the fighting arena and she will start healing health

[karmic compass]

[tough notch]

anyone here a good builder?

could help me out

[west mica]

#building-tips

[fossil delta]

You can also likely find a server dedicated to building in this channel: #1024264966712340510 I learned a lot about building on such a server a few years ago.

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/thegoon-bigoldgoon-ted-lasso-yes-yes-yes-yes-gif-701975896996955852

[chrome badge]

Its the only solution possible in vanilla tbh, just trying to help.

[near furnace]

the reason why we don't have a milion POI's is the lack of devs able to create them

remember. up to mistlands release. we had 1 person doing POI's and dungeons

and "just hire more" isn't viable to be honest 😅

@forest rune

[onyx aurora]

Is it normal for a silver vein to produce 157 chunks of ore or did i hit the jackpot

[near furnace]

jackpot 🤔

did you use a multiplyer? 😄

[dark coyote]

two veins?

[merry pebble]

Sounds like 2x resources 🤔 ,

[near furnace]

or multiple vains ontop of each other

[merry pebble]

Well, silver vein, not veins they say 🤔 an i never saw 2 so perfectly on top of each other that it wouldnt be noticable

[near furnace]

my record is 3 ontop of each other 😛

a picture of the explosion area would help tho

[onyx aurora]

From my speculation, it was 2 veins!

There 6 points instead 3, so it must have been 2 veins DIRECTLY on top of each other

[merry pebble]

Ah, then yes it was 2 veins 😄

1 vein 3 points

[onyx aurora]

But its gonna be hell getting 314 coal for all the bars

Not to mention transport

Funny thing is i decided to skip iron for the reason it takes too long to get a reasonable amount, so this must have been a sign from the gods

[warm sandal]

I hope you will not regret that decision later friend.

[near furnace]

cart 😄

[onyx aurora]

True, but i fear that a pack of wolves will appear out of nowhere and maul me

Also the bastard golem who i have to sneak past who is directly on the route where the silver is

[manic crystal]

do you guys feel the lonliness of finishing the game alone and getting max gear only to not find anyone to play with your op character and help them?

[near furnace]

make a silver shield the first thing you do

[warm sandal]

never felt that. I just get back in from zero and do it again 😄

[near furnace]

then you can block / perry that guy like a true viking 😄

[onyx aurora]

I never thought of that, ill also make the frostner for the extra dmg

[manic crystal]

but but.. farming flamentil for hours 😩

[warm sandal]

I never farmed flametal for hours? I like to do things in fits and spurts and not the same thing for hours... I will not be sequestered to farm anything for hours at a time 😄

[tacit crystal]

Farming all that flametal. 👨‍🌾

[manic crystal]

ah i see, for me i like to fully upgrade things and take my time before continuing. feeling this thing now, that i need to max my character skills.

[vocal rivet]

Hours? But why?

[warm sandal]

I like to max out the gear that I use too... but i just switch tasks and do some mining some fortress besieging, some sailing around tht world and then some more mining

[tacit crystal]

Flametal could be the next iron in terms of building big structures.

[warm sandal]

😄 there is so much else to do than just pickaxe at flametal 😄

[tacit crystal]

Nowadays I just rock with Ask set, which is usually my first task to gather mats for.

[manic crystal]

ohhh i see.

[warm sandal]

building a nice base too...

[tacit crystal]

Ofc after getting place secured.

[manic crystal]

yeah you know. each armor, each weapon takes like 20 refined ores to level up once. and then you can only carry 35 ores per run, and then angry skeeltons and flame lavas things

[vocal rivet]

So...20min?

[manic crystal]

yo i love sailing. but sailing in the ashlands. ahh moment 😭

[tacit crystal]

I like sailing in Ashlands, the theme music is awesome there.

[manic crystal]

yo am not a pro gamer, i kinda take like 40 mins each run for me

[vocal rivet]

Or just portal home to save time.

[warm sandal]

well the ashlands are a warzone 😄 but nobody said you would be restricted to the currently most difficult biome...go sailing up north find a nice mistland spot to build a base to be close to the north once it drops (mind you don't go exploring far north)

[manic crystal]

i get it. i really do. but the serpants and getting stuck on those rocky things bro every 2 mins 💀 and the hawks

[vocal rivet]

I'm hardly a pro gamer. Passable at best I'd say.

[manic crystal]

well. nice talk gamers. 👍🏻

[warm sandal]

I do understand that you feel a bit lost. You might put that character and world on a hiatus for a bit to play again when DN finally is finished and start another one and try out other things and do things differently?

[manic crystal]

yuh, i think i will do that. thank you. might as well enjoy the simple humble beginning with a small flint knife, and valhiem meadows simple charm

[tacit crystal]

Starting fresh has mostly been refreshing experience, especially with some added challenges or differences compared to last playthrough.

[warm sandal]

When ever I see another start a new game on the youtubes, it makes me want to start over to and do different things try out different strategies 😄

[manic crystal]

i have as strong urge to stab a troll with a flint knife suddenly... a sneak build perhaps?

[warm sandal]

that's the spirit, go forth and conquer the 10th world friend

[tacit crystal]

Light armored swift weapon user. 👍

Just wait until you find leviathans before defeating Elder and make Abyssal razor, that decimates trolls.

[manic crystal]

YEAH. tho i really wonder now. can i sneak on bosses with knifes with high sneak skill and troll armor?

like is it possible?

[merry pebble]

Nope, bosses are always agrroed on you, you can backstab them only at the very moment they spawn and that is very short window

[warm sandal]

The abysal razor is soooooo good

[tacit crystal]

Hey how's random run going?

[merry pebble]

Pretty good, didn't progress much past mountains but plains conqering Is next on the list 😄

[tacit crystal]

Some atgeir work before you.

[merry pebble]

Yep, just have to get enough BM for it

[tacit crystal]

And taking out Yag could also be called skill lvl farming.

[near furnace]

so I've been told 🤔

[merry pebble]

Sure, lets call it that xD

[near furnace]

could be how we made it. works so well with the VR experience 🤔

in played numbers of hours?

[manic crystal]

chat, how do you speak globally?

[merry pebble]

Put /s before message in chat

[manic crystal]

thank you your a life saver

[strong stirrup]

/s I HAVE ARRIVED!

[supple holly]

Any specific VR glasses needed or would all work? still thinking if I should/will buy one...

[near furnace]

I have absolutly no idea

valheim does not support VR normally

[fossil delta]

Yeah, and of those claiming it is a great experience, I do not recall what system of VR they were using.

[shy marlin]

VR run sounds fun actually

[near furnace]

sounds like something that will unlock new fears and nightmares 😄

[tacit crystal]

Imagine getting chomp attacked by Morgen on VR.
-#

[nocturne wolf]

Rolling in VR

[merry pebble]

You have to roll irl to dodge xD

[shy marlin]

bog witch in vr ❤️

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/panda-cute-roll-rolling-gif-17653438

[shy marlin]

insane i frames

bro is invuln for seconds on end

[supple holly]

hmm yeah indeed...maybe better without VR after all 🤣

[plush umbra]

Or slammed by troll

Vr mountain biome would go so hard with the drakes

[chrome badge]

Unity also has such an easy to implement & natural pairing with VR.

[plush umbra]

Ive never touched vr once in my life yet

[plush umbra]

Bring back mountain trollss

[near furnace]

they never left 😉

[plush umbra]

They are golems now i want both

[near furnace]

no

[plush umbra]

Then wdymmmm

[near furnace]

incorrect actually

the blue trolls you have in the black forrest is the mountain troll

[plush umbra]

Berserker troll would go so hard

[near furnace]

the black forrest ones are the orange ones 😄

[plush umbra]

What ?!

[near furnace]

yup

[plush umbra]

ORANGE ?!

[near furnace]

the orange ones was removed

[plush umbra]

WHY

[near furnace]

I don't know why. I just know that is what we have in the game

could been multiple reasons

[plush umbra]

😭😭

I think a troll in the mountains would make it much more fun and challenging

[near furnace]

but yeah. mountains trolls are those who now resides in the black forrest 😄

[plush umbra]

Thats actually crazy

They got sick of the cold

[tacit crystal]

We have second troll in game. It's the ||summoned one from Trollstav||.

[near furnace]

you can still spawn in the trophy of the black forrest troll

tho picking it up will screw with the trophy UI in game you have

[fossil delta]

The 2 star trolls look kind of orange, if you squint your eyes just right.

[plush umbra]

Sadness

How to spawn stuff in

Commands?? Idk how to turn those on lmao

[near furnace]

slippery slope into cheats

[shy marlin]

🎿

[forest rune]

This is reasonable but now you could get members of the community to make some stuff, have them vote on which ones get in, then have someone make it natural in world generation. It'd be cool.

[near furnace]

that's why mods exist tho

[hazy widget]

My slippery slope into cheats is dying to the random fireballs coming out of the lava in the ashlands.

Just... why why why why why.

[fossil delta]

Why do I feel like I am experiencing Deja Vu from a Skyrim community? Oh, yeah...

[near furnace]

oh?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, the talk about incorporating mods into the base game. They have kind of done that now.

[near furnace]

we won't

can't see how what would be something we want to do to be honest

[fossil delta]

Good. I still prefer the non official ones offered on other sites anyways. Even though I think you guys would have better taste.

[near furnace]

we have enough ideas ourselves to be honest 😄

adding mods would be kinda wierd

[fossil delta]

My understanding is the mods are all done by fans, not in house. So you guys would just approve of them and do some kind of agreement to make it an official mod.

[near furnace]

don't ever think a mod would get the status as official 🤔

[fossil delta]

If you were to do it in a similar way, even.

Skyblivion looks to be a rather major exception, but I don't think that is even released yet.

[near furnace]

I only played like a demo of skyrim

not my kind of game

[fossil delta]

If it were not for mods, I'd likely still have less than 100 hours invested in it.

[near furnace]

probably

I have played the living daylight out of another simular game

[fossil delta]

Like you may have seen me post before, Valheim blows me away when I think about how many hours I have played it, all without mods. How many will I add once I do start using them?

[near furnace]

Fable

good stuff

[fossil delta]

I have those, never really got into them. Been meaning too. Just... priorities, I guess.

[turbid mural]

Good evening, does anyone know of any mod that removes the limit to which you can dig down?

[vocal rivet]

The mod people might #mods-discussion

[frank swift]

Help I accidentally opened this debug panel thing and can't get it off my screen

Why is this entire server dead when this happens?

[shy marlin]

Debug panel? Could you send a screenshot

I'd try pressing F5 as a guess

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps because a majority of the users here are from Europe, where's it's 1 - 3 AM, so they're sleeping?

Pressing F5 does the trick to close it.

[frank swift]

Finally people! Id have to blur information because it contains stuff like my steam id, server id iirc , and ZDO information?

F5 didn't work it's like a built in panel to valheim

Top left

[shy marlin]

F2

[frank swift]

Need more Americans 😩

[frank swift]

That worked you beautiful genius

Ty pooks

[shy marlin]

🤙

[pliant hatch]

In that case, find yourself a spouse and have some children.

Problem solved.

[frank swift]

Definitely a solution 🐴

[light moat]

🧙‍♀️⏳

[shy marlin]

It's funny how it just kinda dies around this time

[light moat]

Every night, like clockwork 😂

[shy marlin]

Which is a bit odd cuz smiffe shared the demographics for this server and like the majority was north american users

#valheim-chat message

[light moat]

My personal theory is that the majority of the American users are just here to get pinged for news updates, they don’t often seem to engage in communities like this. Just a guess, hard to tell lol

(American myself btw, for the lurkers)

[shy marlin]

This isn't my first experience with this either, with an mmo pretty much all of NA interacted in their guilds and what not (very private), while EU went far more public

So maybe it's just a cultural thing 🤔

[light moat]

I think culture plays a pretty big role for sure. I’ve heard before (can’t personally attest to how true this is lol) that Americans just don’t really interacted with each other much; buses, restaurants, even social places like bars and clubs. Used to go to bars all the time, and I rarely interacted with anyone and was rarely interacted with 🤷🏼‍♂️

Meanwhile, I heard in European countries, it’s like the opposite? Never been, so can’t say for certain.

[shy marlin]

ye idk not my strong suit in studies, i just mix my chemicals 🧪

[light moat]

Same, I just put TVs on walls and take out trash
📺 🗑️

[livid stag]

From Canada here. Almost passed my bed time 😬

[livid stag]

It really depends on the country in Europe. I just went to Finland (which is really quite a lot like actually going inside valheim it was absolutely wild in that way. They even had cloud berries!) but they don’t really interact much in public. Very nice but a quiet culture in public.

I know Finland is technically Nordic but that’s the area I most recently visited across the pond. Italy and Greece people are VERY engaging. Quite different.

[light moat]

Huh, interesting! Thanks for sharing! Would love to visit one day 🤔

[vital umbra]

any news of this combat update

[shy marlin]

#soontm

Hopefully we hear about it more in the next dev blog

[kind pendant]

🔜

™️

[signal bloom]

So did something change to the optimization in the past few months?

Game barely clocks past 50 fps, when i loaded it up last night after a few month hiatus. Before i recall it running away on fps so much so I had to put a limit as 120, otherwise GPU would go nuts. All graphics drivers are up to date and nothing has changed on my pc hardware

[merry pebble]

Nope last patch was in april

[signal bloom]

Thank you! Time to troubleshoot my pc 💀 haha. Haven't even used it hardly since then either

[merry pebble]

Good luck with that 🍀

[vital umbra]

feels like its been a hot minute

[shy marlin]

i think it's been 2 months now 🤔

[vital umbra]

😩

[tacit crystal]

Wait until Finns are drunk and they get more social.

[shy marlin]

H*rvor can take her sweet time idm

[near furnace]

Drunk finns talk alot. Can confirm 😅

[coarse otter]

hello chat

[rain flare]

@sage vine
Man after my own heart with that weapon choice! 🤩

#fanart message

[plush umbra]

Queen is killed yay

[steel mica]

Nvm maybe in the future my base will be done 😭

College is around the corner

Scale predicted it

[near furnace]

[sage vine]

It is a beautiful weapon not gonna lie, displayed it on my base next to my endgame weapons.

Still hopeful that they update some attacks since this is my favorite weapon next to the frostner

[tacit crystal]

And hopefully we get more battleaxes.

[sage vine]

Yeah, got bummed out cuz there's no lightning battle axe

Got dual axes but still

[tacit crystal]

Heh, that's something I have suggested and fanarted: #fanart message.

I really like both battleaxes and dual axes, they're great.

[sage vine]

That would've been an awesome weapon for the Ashland at early stages

I would've main axe on mistland too bad Juton bane is bad compare to the mistwalker

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, Jotun pain..

Although someone pointed out at one point that if we got Ashlands tier battleaxe then we would have total of 4.

[merry pebble]

If the Jotun bane was battleaxe i think it would be loved a bit more 😄

[tacit crystal]

That's what I've said many times before.
-# But pls no poison as it is currently.

[rain flare]

Ashlands battleaxes means 4 battleaxes plus the 2 existing - so total of 6 🤩

[near furnace]

2 handed dual bladed poison battle axe?

or you just want more battle axes 👀

[merry pebble]

More battleaxes would be very much welcome 😄 and i think it would look really cool as a battleaxe, + new battlexe in mistalnds would fit quite well in terms of progression.

We got singlehanded in plains and its good enough to chop mistlands trees, so in mistlands we dont really need a new one handed i feel

[west mica]

Beat The Queen, no deaths first try ❤️ not out of skill, I was just rediculously well prepared, I'd been putting off the fight for ages.

It took me just sligtly over 1 day. Magic build, sans skeletons.

[sage vine]

We did the opposite back then took us like 3hrs to beat

no preparations just leroyed it

[tacit crystal]

If Jotun bane was battleaxe from beginning Hervor might have equipped different weapon. ☝️

[west mica]

Because of health regen, the maths works out in such a way that the fights start getting exponentially longer as you do less dps.

[merry pebble]

And Scales might be a bit less angry with her xD

[sage vine]

we died like 30deaths each since there's three of us

[west mica]

In Eve your shields passively regen, so it can feel like youre at 90% hp for a while thenall at once suddenly blow up.

[sage vine]

never go fight some boss blindly

[west mica]

I did hit and run tactics lol. As soon as my bubble went down, I ran. Soon as I saw the wriggly boi, I turned all my eiter into delicious fire.

I just about managed to get through without any repairs or resting, though I did loose my rested bonus towards the end.

[sage vine]

we did that but only on halfway through cuz we ran out of eitr food

[west mica]

I brought enough stacks for a 90 minute fight haha, plus the same amount just through my portal in an emergency.

Now, I have lots of royal jelly to pich up.

[sage vine]

but on my second playthrough I did it like 30mins solo since I did it using fire staff with bubble and atgier for the lil ones

[west mica]

Ah yeah I used the demolisher and bile bombs.

Neither of those really make a dent on the actual seeker adds though, you still need staff for them.

[sage vine]

try make a base just next to a dungeon and you'll never run out of royal jelly, they somehow respawn

[sage vine]

Never have I ever use bombs

[west mica]

Yea I made a lil house underneath the entrance podium

[sage vine]

since I hate the swamp

[west mica]

Bombs are good for when youre all out of resources

Instant dps too, no wind up like the demonlisher, and doesnt need a lot of stamina like the ategirs

I'm guessing the wisp lights I set up wont despawn if I leave them here?

[sage vine]

pretty sure they dont unless someone destroys them

I miss this game

hopefully deepnorth will come out soon

[near furnace]

combat update comes out first

[sage vine]

gonna be my 5th playthrough when they comeout

@rain flare I took a screenshot of the crystal battleaxe with the other weapon types

[sage vine]

hopefully by Odin's beard they'll update battleaxes as well

[near furnace]

they?

[sage vine]

the devs I mean

[glacial idol]

hello smiffe

[tacit crystal]

You're replying to one.

[sage vine]

ohhhhhhhhhhh

my bad, gonna jump to lava now

[tacit crystal]

Don't, you just lose 5% of your skills.

[sage vine]

oh yeah I forgot about that

then again I died too much that my skills are stuck to 20

wait will there be an update for pickaxes, next tier after the black metal one

I yearned for the ores

[tacit crystal]

No need, blackmetal one still holds there.

[proper sundial]

Hi!

sorry, long post but tl:dr - Do you guys have any information or ideas how to cheese the Queen?

So I was doing a Necromancy challenge, using only skeletons (dead raiser) to fight. (I was able to use tools or fists on non-enemies excluding spawners and bubble after crafting the staff in mistlands) I finished every biome and did all boss and miniboss fights. The only brickwall for me was the Queen, so in the end I had to skip her (kill with other means) and continue to ashlands.

Anybody got any good ideas how to get her? any info about bugs, cheeeses, tricks is welcome. I got her to the amount of health when she starts teleporting away and puking swarms of small insects, at that point my skeletons are overwhelmed and even before that they can RARELY reach her hitbox.

At the moment I finished the game besides queen and had quite a fun, sometimes frustrating time. Most challenging were Father, Queen, Ashlands fortress (quite impossible so I simply did a heist with ladders) and furling villages. Everything else was no brainer.

[shy marlin]

Just so I understand, you want a cheese strategy for the queen by only using Deadraiser and staff of protection?

[merry pebble]

Just baiting the queen to enterence and spamming skelets there might work 🤔 but i am not sure they will be able to survive and deal dmg long enough to offset the regen

[tacit crystal]

Throwing lots of Refined Eitr on ground?

[merry pebble]

Also good idea

[sage vine]

Stick to the entrance that's the way I was able to kill her easily but only if the skeleton attacks the body parts that glitches inside the mini cave otherwise idk

[merry pebble]

No?

[tacit crystal]

None yet. Smaller update upcoming, but no ETA for it.

[shy marlin]

🤙

[tacit crystal]

It's been called "Combat update". Few teases like new armor set, archery target and slope combat improvement.

[merry pebble]

-# Saw it xD

[near furnace]

saw what? 🤔

[shy marlin]

Nothing

Must've been the wind

[near furnace]

oh

[merry pebble]

Nothing~ 😏

[near furnace]

nothin'

[shy marlin]

nothin

[merry pebble]

[proper sundial]

@shy marlin @merry pebble @tacit crystal @sage vine thanks for the input yall!
Id avoid ref-eitr and fire etc. Best would be if theres a way to glitch her somehow such as perhaps a body part is showing that could be hit. Biggest problem is melee skeletons just CANT hit her. maybe 1-2 hits out of 10 and when queen starts teleprting and spamming small mobs then the damage just falls beyond her regen. Ill give a try with camping at the entrance. If anybody feels bored and manages this feat let me know how haha.

at the start of the fight I can push skeletons closer to her but her teleport-escaping ruins it. I wonder if its impossible to complete the game with only skeletons or just veeeeery hard 😄

[sage vine]

I think you can but yes it is hard after queen you also need to deal with the last boss who got a bunch of AOEs and I dont know if skeletons would be durable for it

[proper sundial]

I killed Father. It was difficult but not impossible

have to find timings when Father big aoe dissipates to spam summon skellies melee. Took me an hour or so 😄

from my experience the queen and ashlands fortress are the only "impossible" ones. However you can steal gems from fortress without violence. I wonder if queen can be crkacked or is it a brick wall

[ember panther]

No valheim news in a while 😔

[vocal rivet]

Almost like they were on vacation.

[somber cypress]

Not any news for Valheim update?

[light moat]

Not since June, Irongate takes vacation during July. I imagine we’ll get a news update this month

[somber cypress]

Hope there soon will come a update, 2 month without any news for such a good game... a bit sad 🙁

[tacit crystal]

Better to developers take their time for vacation they deserve and then put their effort on game so next updates will be as least amount of bugs/problems as possible.

At least I'm quite looking forward to the upcoming combat update, hopefully we get more info about its release in next blog post.

[somber cypress]

Dont say they need to release an update, just give their players some info and some news. Love they take their time on the updates

[fossil delta]

They gave their update on the 24th of August last year, so likely it will be around the same day this year.

Of course I am assuming a similar time line of returning from vacation, getting their gears rolling again, and deciding what info to share, etc....

[azure yacht]

exceptions =/= rule

[azure yacht]

this as well. It's not even the proper time range for a dev blog

devs can only fix things related to the game, not players' impatience

[fossil delta]

I just looked at the news channel for last year, just to give myself an idea as to when they might get new info out to us.

[gilded gust]

Is it fine to use the portal thingy where I can just carry ore through, I feel like it saves a lot of time but also isnt really the "normal" way to play but damn its helpful

[fossil delta]

You can play this game however you want.

[glass spruce]

will the combat update before deep north? and will deep north be the 1.0 update?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, that has definitely gotten me killed a fair number of times. I largely compensate for it immediately now, but until I learned what the problem actually was...

[fossil delta]

The combat is before Deep North, and we are all assuming DN is 1.0, until official word is put out.

[glass spruce]

❤️

[somber zinc]

can lord reto be rooted?

[nocturne wolf]

All creatures can be rooted

[somber zinc]

alright, thanks

reto's about to get multiplayer cheesed in that case

[fossil delta]

Its why they get the multiplayer buff until over 5 players.

[somber zinc]

doesn't matter if he cannot turn around to hit me though

[fossil delta]

Yep.

[azure yacht]

yes

yes

[vocal rivet]

What a weird take.

[vocal rivet]

We've been told this multiple times I'm sure.

[plush umbra]

I hope the update before 1.0 is an ocean update

[nocturne wolf]

#valheim-chat message

[plush umbra]

Sadness

I always feel like ocean is lacking stuff, serpents are cool and all and chiote is a good early game rss but like whys that all there is for ocean to offer

[vocal rivet]

Getting from A to B. The most important part of the game.

[plush umbra]

I feel like an ocean boss would be super cool and possibly one of the most challenging bosses yet given youd likely have to fight it from ur boat possibly sailing around while u fight it

[vocal rivet]

A lot would have to change in the game to make good combat at sea feasible.

[plush umbra]

Well they are bringing a combat update 🙂

Seems do able

[vocal rivet]

A said a lot. Not a bit of balancing. And it won't just need changes with combat either.

[plush umbra]

Yeah it wouldn't be a small update ngl

[vocal rivet]

So with the combat update and Deep North / 1.0 being the final two updates it does seem unlikely.

[plush umbra]

Yeah ik I was just throwing the idea out there cuz it would be pretty nice fr, maybe I'll throw it in suggestions at some point

[vocal rivet]

You would not be the first. There's plenty of utterly unrealistic things in there.

[plush umbra]

And somehow I doubt 1.0 will be the final update even if deep north is final biome cuz its not like the game is just gonna get abandoned once finished lmfao

[vocal rivet]

Finished, not abandoned. And it's interesting you know better than the devs.

[plush umbra]

I'm sure they will have more updates after 1.0 even if they are not game changing or super big

[plush umbra]

Are u a dev?

[vocal rivet]

Bug fixes, that's about it.

[plush umbra]

Lmfaoooooo nah ur not

[fossil delta]

It would have been cool if they had done a sea going group of peoples that we could have done ship to ship boarding style fights with. Would have been a very "viking" thing to do I think. But such has always been beyond what Dvoid envisioned. I think. Never seen mention of any such ideas.

[vocal rivet]

Never claimed to be.

[plush umbra]

That would be cool too

Ocean variant of dvergers with their own ships

[vocal rivet]

That's what the game needs. More variants of the same mobs.

[plush umbra]

Ok dev

[vocal rivet]

Not a dev, as we've established.

[plush umbra]

Yall Derek is a dev he knows everything

[fossil delta]

Yeah, well, we are closing in on what is going to be all of Valheim. Which is fine. Been waiting a long time as it is. Kind of anxious to hear about what Dvoid wants to do next.

[plush umbra]

The all knowing Derek the dev

[vocal rivet]

And we're done here.

[plush umbra]

I wonder if combat update will bring us a middle click move for pickaxe

That would be awesome ngl

[fossil delta]

Why would they do that? Only creature it works well against is the golem. At least one is fully immune to picks.

[plush umbra]

To mine faster 😭

[fossil delta]

I already feel alike a mining machine with my skill in the 60's. Except in the Misltands and later. Get slow again in those biomes.

[plush umbra]

Yeah getting ancient armor and being bombarded with ticks and a gyall can get dicey

[fossil delta]

I only bother with the armor when I want to attract those things. I prefer the bridges and towers for mats.

[plush umbra]

Idk sometimes I be doing some teraforming and I be wishing this tiny rock the size of my foot would actually break in 1 or 2 swings vs 5 or 6

Even with a max blackmetal pick

[fossil delta]

I usually break obsidian and smaller in one hit now. Go through even the bigger stuff much faster. It does slow down again once we hit the Mistlands, though. I presume due to higher game HP for the materials.

[plush umbra]

Yeah I noticed depending what u use obsidian is easier to mind then stone

Super odd idk

[near furnace]

🤔

w00t?

[fossil delta]

I break all the smaller stones in the meadows in one hit as well. Still go fast through even the big pieces. Got spoiled, then we hit the Mistlands, and it felt like I was back breaking rocks in the early days of the game.

[vocal rivet]

Oh hey, fellow dev.

[near furnace]

oh. someone made you a dev again?

[vocal rivet]

Apparently.

[plush umbra]

Hard not to when he says things like he is one

[plush umbra]

Idk bro most stones in even meadows take me 3-6 swings

[near furnace]

I've molded Derek as my shadow-clone

[plush umbra]

Whats jotun bang spawn command please

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/naruto-kage-bunshin-shadow-clones-anime-gif-15709000

[dense yew]

dont bang jotuns

[near furnace]

🤦

[fossil delta]

I assume your using the BM pickaxe, so what is your skill at?

[plush umbra]

Yes and a very record breaking 23 and we just beat queen last night

[tacit crystal]

Use spawn AxeJotunBane.

You should be able to find all needed item IDs from wiki site.

[plush umbra]

Then I add 1 for one singular and whatever number I want for lvl?

[fossil delta]

Seems like skill is the difference, mine is around 60. Not sure right now, I've died twice in the last week. So at least in the 50's.

[vocal rivet]

pretty sure there's a page with all of this info

[plush umbra]

Didn't work

I cant figure out the lvl part

[plush umbra]

Ah rip. Yeah i die sometimes ngl

[tacit crystal]

As whole it's spawn [item ID] [amount] [level].

So if you want to spawn one axe with quality 3, add 1 3 in the end.

[plush umbra]

Okay

[vocal rivet]

Bah.

[plush umbra]

Ok im using the id from wiki and it keeps saying is not valid in current context

[tacit crystal]

Did you write devcommands first?

[vocal rivet]

I'd imagine not.

[plush umbra]

Oops noope was never told about that part

[merry pebble]

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

For future 😉

[plush umbra]

It's saying true and to use commands at ur own risk but it never gave me my jotun bang

[tacit crystal]

Try Jotun bane.

[plush umbra]

Said the same thing again

[dense yew]

AxeJotunBane

[plush umbra]

Bruh I just wanna get the crap back i lost from crashing and losing over 8 hours of grinding worth of crap this kd annoying

[plush umbra]

That's what I tried 1st

[tacit crystal]

You could also enable nocost and then craft them for free.

[plush umbra]

No build cost doesn't let u craft at tables u still need the rss

Unless no cost is a dev command

[tacit crystal]

Nocost command allows you build anything and craft anything, not even requiring workbenches.

[lusty dirge]

Are you on a server per chance? Devcommands don't work if you're not the host

[plush umbra]

Oh that must be what the builders on YouTube do

[plush umbra]

On my own solo world

It says nocost is not a recognized command I'm gonna crash out fr

[tacit crystal]

So, you wrote devcommands first, then after tried using any other command?

[fossil delta]

I do remember using dev commands being frustrating, the one time I had to use them to free my character from a swamp crypt. 😄

[plush umbra]

Not after 😭 ugh

Ok it said true but I go to my black forge and it wont lemme

This is actually crazy it says it worked but it doesn't work

[tacit crystal]

Screenshot of the command log could help, you could post in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202320491377856512.

[plush umbra]

Done

[shy marlin]

I don't know how to replicate it, but I have many hours of seeing/experiencing being able to manipulate the queen into not being able to summon seekers from her roar or seekerbroods from her spit attack. I haven't worked it out on how to make it a reliable strategy however. As of right now I don't think it's exactly possible/feasible to do this. I'll mess around with it tonight and see what I can come up with. If you're gonna have any success though it's gonna be dependent on blood magic skill being at 100

[fossil delta]

That is probably the biggest reason I don't like switching to magic. Taking yet another skill from 0 to 100. No thanks. Hard enough getting the rest that high, from the beginning of the game.

[shy marlin]

Well skill is only required here bcuz they're limiting themselves and putting massive restraints 😂

For normal play you can do all content just fine at 0 skill

[fossil delta]

Plus the rest seem to at least get into the 20's relatively quickly. Magic seemed much slower, when I tried it.

[shy marlin]

blood magic is a slog to increase naturally but elemental magic is really easy to get up

[fossil delta]

I may have been focusing on blood magic then. Don't recall for sure.

I did make everything, so that makes it harder to recall what I tried doing first, etc...

[shy marlin]

Word

[fossil delta]

Anyways, I also don't like watching all my other skills plummet due to lack of use, and still dying.

So I plan on just sticking with weapons, and keep those skills as high as I can.

[tacit crystal]

Same, I prefer the ol' good melee way.

[warm sandal]

My elemental magic is raising fast... cause i get hit so much in my bubble and it keeps exploding 😄 every exploding bubble raises the skill 😄 I would prefer being a better player and not getting hit so much... but at least I get the job done in the end 😄

[fossil delta]

That would explain why it felt so slow. My run/jump is nice and high, so I don't get hit that much, by the time I get to the Mistlands. My last two deaths knocked me out of the 90 range, back into the 80's.

Which is why I really hate the death penalty at this point. Takes a lot of time, and not dying, to get those points back, across all those skills.

[warm sandal]

absolutely true i do hate to pay that fee for sure too

[cinder plaza]

14 months since Ashlands. getting twitchy for Deep North so i can play again!!

[strong stirrup]

its coming in:

[merry pebble]

Welp, we will have to still wait 😄

thoughts on my 1st mixed armor set

#screenshots

[shy marlin]

why jotun bane 💢

[keen trench]

stats wise i like it a lot, but i would have switched chest with legs, very personal taste, i love the Eitr Weave chest piece.. (not bad looking at all tho)

[plush umbra]

ty!! and true it can go either way

[plush umbra]

i like the poison dmg

i just learned about mixing armor sets recently thought id give it a try

[keen trench]

very fun activity, did it a lot, atm my fav experiment remains fenris-root-fenris(feather) for crossbowing like crazy in Mistlands (too bad crossbow is not good for queen)

#screenshots message

i was illuded i could raise skellies with just one eitr food (needs a kjpillion skill points in blood magic) so i scrapped the fenris-eitr-fenris variant, pity it was so badass looking #screenshots message

[plush umbra]

im not a fan of root armor idk lol but fire fit

[plush umbra]

from what ive seen them skellies are fairly weak, we just beat queen and thats the 1 staff im not using

I cant wait for lighting axes and storm bow

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they were not very useful against her.

[keen trench]

yep that's why i scrapped it, would be good as an extra tool for crowd control/decoy but not if it eats up two food slots

[plush umbra]

See i think dead raiser is good if ur farming wood or mining and use it to keep annoying mobs off u while u do so kinda like having tamed wolves

Otherwise pretty useless

[keen trench]

so i went for full-ranger (with some pierce res for seekers and ticks)

[plush umbra]

Ah yeah seekers messed me up when I 1st got to mistlands but once I upgraded my armor and got a couple staffs they became light work

I can see how root armor could help initially when getting to mistlands just like plains

Queen took 3 of us about 40 mins and we all died twice during the fight lmfao

Way to many broods and seakers made it annoying

I'm just happy there were no ticks

[fossil delta]

Once you get comfortable in the Mistlands, you only really need to worry about either too many at once, or the 2 starred seekers. Everything else is pretty easy to deal with, as long as you know they are there first.

[keen trench]

yup exactly, in that case i needed also speed, with that setup i could outwalk everything but ticks (walk is very important for crossbow mechanics) ratatosk was there just for extra safety and less neck pain

[plush umbra]

Facts

[plush umbra]

Howd u get crossbow before ashlands just curious

I must be missing something

[shy marlin]

root iron wood

[plush umbra]

Ohh

[keen trench]

there's one in Mistlands, it's called Arbalest

[plush umbra]

Okok I'll have to check that out, I'm guessing its non elemental

[fossil delta]

Yeah, 200 pierce, but slooooow.

[plush umbra]

Do crossbow use bolts then

[west mica]

Arbalest is basically essential to dispatch Gjalls

[merry pebble]

Yep

[fossil delta]

I think so, haven't used it this time around.

[keen trench]

yup, and anytime you jump or sprint the quite slow reloading process restarts from top

[plush umbra]

Okok awsome

[merry pebble]

They are basically sniper rifles 😄

[west mica]

Its a crossbow but it handles more like a firearm

snap lol

[plush umbra]

Yikes lmfao, I can see it being useful if u can keep a distance

[fossil delta]

Great for Gjall, as I recall. Too slow for anything else.

[plush umbra]

I dont even use the normal bow as much as I should I have the druager fang and spinesnap

[plush umbra]

I noticed staffs mess em up too if u can get up high

[fossil delta]

Probably useful in Ashlands, though.

[keen trench]

once i got the rhythm it became my favourite actually (but yeh any heavy armor is strictly forbidden for that kind of play, even with ratatosk)

[west mica]

If you can get the drop on an enemy I guess Arbalest could help you get a lot of damage with that initial hit, because you get the sneaky bonus right, plus the 'alpha' dps of the Arbalest is already high

In Mistlands though you dont usually see mobs before they see you

[plush umbra]

Yeah thats what I wa thinking

[fossil delta]

True, which is why I did like it for Gjall. You can get the drop on almost anything in Mistlands, though.

[plush umbra]

I want the storm bow fr

I want all the lightning stuff

[west mica]

Thing is though then you go to Ashlands and there's a lot of peice resistance there, so a bow becomes very meta again because you can use frost and silver arrows for elemental damage, crossbow is all peirce

[fossil delta]

I usually get the drop on seekers at the dungeons, rarely anywhere else. I almost always see a soldier first, same with Gjall.

[west mica]

Maybe they will be more meta in deep north

[plush umbra]

Ashalnds I've heard magic and lightning are essential

[fossil delta]

Actually, I hear the soldier and Gjall first, then spot them.

[plush umbra]

Same

[keen trench]

just once and dont know how i arbalested an unaware Gjall in the eggs, it showed a good 730some damage

[plush umbra]

Wowza

[west mica]

I'm getting a grip on this, magic seems to edge out but melee/heavy armor seems to work well too

Magic is OP in mistlands because of all the physical damage resistances there, its not so clear cut in ashlands

[plush umbra]

I wanna run askvin cape flametal helm with embla shirt with askvin trousers but I might have to switch em around to get the best stats

[plush umbra]

Fair

[fossil delta]

At least Gjall are weak on their belly, and soldiers on their butts.

[plush umbra]

Yep, queen on her butt too

[west mica]

If playing solo skeletons are great with soldiers, because they can distract the soldier whilst you give it a spanking from behind

[fossil delta]

Soldiers are easy when your not solo, one of you attracts their attention, while the other whacks their behind.

[plush umbra]

Omg I finally found a frost cave after mapping out a double frost mountain entirely and clearing a howling cavern, how this the only frost cave ive seen 😭

[plush umbra]

Facts

[plush umbra]

Tru I never thought of that

[fossil delta]

Part of the fun has been figuring out all the ways you can handle the various situations even easier.

[plush umbra]

Yeah I tend to have a pretty full inventory at all times for that very reason

Sucks sometimes when im tryna forage

[west mica]

The main purpose of skeletons seems to be distraction lol, unelss you have a really good blood magic skill leve, I did the ||plains miniboss|| earlier and sent a stream of skeletons down the spiral staircase for like 10 minutes and when I checked they had only done about 10% of the health bar.

If you keep them bubbled too you can keep them alive for a long time, even against scary foes.

[fossil delta]

I was often just happy with them drawing attacks away from me. Especially when I tried magic solo.

[nocturne wolf]

Someone in #mods-discussion might be able to

[fossil delta]

#mods-discussion

[pseudo oyster]

thanks

[plush umbra]

This is the biggest frost cave ive ever seen it held 3 cultists !!!!!

3!!!! In 1 cave!

[fossil delta]

You will see more, in one room, if you do enough.

[plush umbra]

It had 3 alters 3 cultists 2 stacks of fenrir hair

[merry pebble]

Decent cave it seems 😄

[plush umbra]

And 1 the cultists dropped a trophy

[fossil delta]

I got a trophy off my first cultist, haven't seen one since. 😄

[plush umbra]

Same! My 1st ever cultist in the game gave me one

This is my 2nd one ever now

Annnnnd I'm lost in the cave 😭🤣

Nvm got it 😅

Front staff on cultists just annihilates them

[fossil delta]

I would guess they are weak to frost, and two biomes behind. Mistwalker handles them with ease as well.

[plush umbra]

Yeah totally fair

Fire staff does work on golem too

[fossil delta]

Hmmmm... don't recall if I ever used that on those.

[plush umbra]

It eats em up

Boutta kill my 3rd one in an hour, I want golem trophy

[fossil delta]

I still have a ton of fun just "dancing" with the golems, so still tend to just beat them to death while dancing.

IE run and jump around them while they try to hit me.

[plush umbra]

I sent ss

[somber zinc]

GGWP, just solo'd Fader with no magic but god damn he is hard as fk

[fossil delta]

I would expect that, and is what I often hear. Have yet to fight him myself. I will this play through, as long as it does not get interrupted too.

[somber zinc]

my main issue with the fight is that its genuinely tedious rather than hard

[tacit crystal]

They're only weak against poison, normal to frost.

[fossil delta]

Normal is still good.

[plush umbra]

Yeah the jotun bane did tons of dmg to him and the ulvs

I can see drauger fang being useful if ur just getting into the mountains

[fossil delta]

My wife will like hearing that, its her current main weapon.

[somber zinc]

like, Fader was a running simulator for so long until i figured out you can ||make his spike attack kill nearby enemies and he is locked out of making other attacks while spikes are still coming out||

[plush umbra]

Yeah jotun bane and lots of health you can solo frost caves all day

In my case 98 health 100 sum stam and almost 200 eitir made it way to ez

[fossil delta]

She likes it until she has to cut down trees. Which is why she still carries her BM axe.

[plush umbra]

Actually jotun bane does more chop dmg then bm axe and is better for cutting trees

Lil fun fact for ya

[fossil delta]

She didn't think so, so until she decides otherwise...

[plush umbra]

Lmfao, it took me 2 swings to take down a beech tree vs like 4 or 5 with bm axe

Tested it earlier today

[fossil delta]

I've been tempted to make it for me. Since we have so many mats we will otherwise never use.

[plush umbra]

Eventually I want every weapon in the game on my wall

As long as im using jotun bane tho I'll probably never carry a bm axe again

[fossil delta]

I could just do that too. We have a BM chest over half full of green balls to still use, not to mention all the flesh we could still process.

[plush umbra]

Heck yeah

[keen trench]

i'm trying to do that with my oldest character but Ashlands variety is a bit discouraging tbh

[plush umbra]

Yeah lmfaoooo fair enough

Ima wait till we beat fader to even attempt to do it

Otherwise I'll make what ima gonna use

[fossil delta]

We have accumulated so much just because we have been exploring all the Mistlands between us and the Queen, Who is on the very eastern edge of our map.

[nocturne wolf]

Jotun bane has 70 chop damage, black metal axe has 60

[keen trench]

yeh i'll probably do like that as well, also, ofc, they need to be max level even if they're just wall decor, it's a matter of principle

[plush umbra]

Yep 🙂

[plush umbra]

@fossil delta

[somber zinc]

im trying to imagine the flametal required

[plush umbra]

Factual lmfao

[fossil delta]

I'll tell my wife the numbers, she will decide if she believes them. 😄

[plush umbra]

🤣

[fossil delta]

I suspect the animation of the weapons makes it appear to be slower than it is, in terms of actually cutting a tree down.

[plush umbra]

Correct yeah

Jotun bane has a little longer swing time but not enough to make it slower than bm axe in terms of tree chopping

[nocturne wolf]

I thought they were the same animation

[fossil delta]

Well, my wife still uses Porcupine to beat the crap out of things in Mistlands. She just has to hit it a time or two more often. 😄

[plush umbra]

Porcupine is very underrated but I dont see it being good in mistlands

[nocturne wolf]

It's good for dvergr, ticks and seeker soldiers

[plush umbra]

Okok

[fossil delta]

She still uses it. Regularly.

She did use it during her rage killing of all those dvergr in that tower, where I accidentally punched one of them. Still makes me smile.

[plush umbra]

Hell yeah lmao

[fossil delta]

Yeah, her play style definitely was outstanding in that situation. Doubt I could have fought them all without dying, with how I fight.

[plush umbra]

I just used frostnir on them seemed to do fine, or bm sword

[fossil delta]

Well, there were 8 in that tower, and mage heavy. Two of them were starred. So when I punched them I just ran. Got far enough to do an easy death run, though. Then I just watched her kill them all.

[plush umbra]

Lmfao hell yeah

[keen trench]

Frostner first time, just fine, second time i was self-forced to polearms and BM atgeir behaved really good as well... never thought of porcupine, served really well in plains but was hanged on wall from before Yag fight onwards

[fossil delta]

Frostner is better versus Yag, if your not using the sword.

[plush umbra]

Yeah

[fossil delta]

The sword is a lot of mats, but it is noticeably better against him.

Silver sword, to be clear to people who have not made it, used it, etc....

[solemn hawk]

why are angled wood beams so much taller than normal wood beams

[fossil delta]

Greater distance across the angle.

[solemn hawk]

no but like they cant line up with the normal horizontal beams

[fossil delta]

Not sure what your getting at. Have a screenshot to put in screenshots?

[solemn hawk]

k ill do that rq

[keen trench]

ym they look thicker? that's true but yeh no big deal, mixed up beam structures look quite good in the end imo

[solemn hawk]

oh wait i did a different image in screenshots

so i cant like post an image there rn

[fossil delta]

OK. My wife just got off work, so I will see if you put one in later.

[solemn hawk]

kk ill post it when i can

[fossil delta]

Tag me too, to help me find it faster.

[proper sundial]

this seems the best approach right now. I found a bunch of safe spots where queen cant hit you but it doesnt matter cuz skellies cant hit her either. I was thinking about bubble 100 too but I dont think it helps because its shields 700 which is exactly the damage queen does so it will still one shot or am I missing something? btw queen is the only one with weird hitbox, all other bosses eat my skeleton swords fine.

[shy marlin]

Are you allowed to "tank" the queen

Like are you allowed to sit in front of her and dodge attacks?

[proper sundial]

yes, I can tank, i can parry

only rule is all dmage has to come from skeletons OR unintended (tree falling, dwarf shooting a bit) but these damage instances I dont want to do on purpose

[pseudo oyster]

what's this a foul smell from the swamp

i paused the game

[proper sundial]

its a bad smell. stay in red circle for 2 min and fight for your life

protect your animals

[shy marlin]

So I can use the abyssal harpoon to draw aggro (it doesn't do dmg, only using it to ping the ground)

[west mica]

What's up, Gjall? 🏹

[pseudo oyster]

don't have any currently

[proper sundial]

actually sure. I had it as a tool and I dont see this as a conflict altho it techically does worthless dmg. yeah. It was in my plan but I forgot the harpoon haha

[pseudo oyster]

just finished building my wood base tho

https://tenor.com/view/standing-kitty-cutiepie-gif-6698252999604200247

[proper sundial]

just have your belly full and fight it out. lasts 2 min

[solemn hawk]

man the worst raid imo is being hunted by wolves

last time it happened to me over 30 wolves spawned and i could NOT generate stamina

[vocal rivet]

Nah, that's the best one. Free resources.

[solemn hawk]

i died to it in mistlands gear 😭

[proper sundial]

oh I have one more restriction, has to be current technology, so mistlands armor and food, but I bet mana regen is not the main problem there

[proper sundial]

true. wolf meat is bothersome to hunt when you need it. its really cool they just deliver it

[fossil delta]

Another reason I prefer Tower shields. Out of stamina? Just block until I get enough back.

[solemn hawk]

i mean yeah its good for meat but at the same time it spawns SO MUCH

[proper sundial]

yeah. one hell of a fight. I wish there was more events that can happen out of base

[shy marlin]

ye ofc assumed that

[merry pebble]

Hmmm, wolfs are squishy tho, especially with mistlands gear 🤔

[fossil delta]

It spawns only so many until you kill them. It is why you can get into the 40's. As Smiffe says, the more you kill, the more you get.

[vocal rivet]

Only as many as you kill.

[solemn hawk]

yeah but in the wizard gear theres only so much you can have close without needing to kill

[keen trench]

most raids are good resource delivery, chains, coins (more with love potion!)... maybe my least favourite is surtlings and bats, dodgy, itchy, not that needed resources

[proper sundial]

oh "forest moves" is another food delivery event
*OOPS I mean when wild animals attack. Eyk rallies forest.

[fossil delta]

Oh, mage gear. Never had that raid with that gear.

[vocal rivet]

If you're already in Mistlands gear it should be a doddle.

[proper sundial]

why surtlings? always good to have coal, no?

[solemn hawk]

yeah but with the wolves doing 5 damage and there always being 3 nearby they SLOWLY wittle down my health

[shy marlin]

Atgier = friend

[pseudo oyster]

got them

[keen trench]

yeh, but it's a resource i can produce easily if i need it, and surtlings knockback + fast dodging annoys me a lot

[pseudo oyster]

it wasn't that bad

[keen trench]

and it lasts a lot

[fossil delta]

Heh, I chase them down and just kill them. If you keep at an angle to them they rarely hit you.

So just never go at them straight on.

[proper sundial]

Does anybody want to participate in a challenge? Can you beat the Queen with only Skeletons and bubble (dead raiser + protection staff)

I finished the whole game with skeletons but I found queen to be impossible and skipped it.

[keen trench]

uh that's a quite uncomfortable chanllenge, i like it! also aware skellies are not that good but i'm very fond of necromancy skills in fantasy games, approved 🤌

[unreal pike]

When is the next dev update coming out😭 i wanna see more

[shy marlin]

hopefully end of this month but we dunno

[fossil delta]

Last year was on the 24th, so likely around that time this month.

[merry pebble]

They usually are on 20-something 😄 rarely they are earlier

[fossil delta]

I just use it as a guideline, since returning from vacation, etc... So I won't expect to see one until around the 22nd to the 26th.

[pliant hatch]

Well, I can assure you one thing about the next dev blog......................

I'll be available between tomorrow (August 20th) and New Years Eve.

With some luck we got even more between those days.

[fossil delta]

After waiting so many years already, I think I have trained myself out of having any expectations of any thing by any date.

I just get excited when they finally toss us a tid bit.

[shy marlin]

just did it on vh

gonna do vh 0 skill and see if that's possible

[proper sundial]

yooooooo!!!!!! nice! but whats vh lol

[merry pebble]

very hard

[proper sundial]

oh sweet, can you share the technique?

[shy marlin]

it'll be easier to just upload

give me like 2 hrs to grind this and see what else i can cook up

[proper sundial]

well played mate. you are the winenr 😄 🥇 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆

[shy marlin]

resident sweat lord here <--

[proper sundial]

good luck with skill 0. on my playtrough I was about 60-70 at that point 🙂

did harpoon do the trick?

alright never mind, ill wait for video

[proper sundial]

but like neither damage or mana was the issue for me. just queen hitbox and skellies spreading attention to the bug swarms.

[shy marlin]

u can't cheese her

u have to fight and tank her legit

and no when it's too much for skelets and flee

cause spew just annihalates any progress you can make

[proper sundial]

yes!

and then she fuks off burrowing lol

did you not have to manually push ske skellies closer?

haha "friendly fire" and kicking their but was a huge part of my playtrough

[near furnace]

Scales probably knows the most about the bosses in valheim than anyone 🤔

[shy marlin]

guilty of doing hundreds of hours of random boss things 😭

10 simultaneous queen vh was peak gaming tho

[near furnace]

do you like "open fight arenas" or when we close them inside a room? 🤔

[shy marlin]

i like closed room

queen citadel is my ideal

[near furnace]

because it's harder, harder to cheeze etc? or?

[shy marlin]

It's more controlled and isolated

it's also like more cinematic imo

Like opening up the queen door for the first time is CRAZY

[proper sundial]

whos your fav fight? Mine is queen.

[shy marlin]

Fader

[proper sundial]

was kidna sad that my favorite fight stopped my challenge tho haha

[near furnace]

worst fight.. Moder?

[solemn hawk]

mine is genuinely eikthyr purely because of the music

[shy marlin]

ye moder cuz she's "buggy"

[near furnace]

oh

I just did a fight with her on my combat update run

[proper sundial]

Moder is a banger imo

[shy marlin]

i like the actual fight mechanics and what not but her just twitching if the terrain doesn't comply is just unfun

[near furnace]

I didn't change the ground at all. but it was better than I remember 🤔

tho i hate the constant add-spawn she gets

[solemn hawk]

my least favorite is the queen because she took me like 1 hour to genuinely beat with a friend 😭

[shy marlin]

yea queen is hardest

[solemn hawk]

it aint even that hard imo

its just an endurance battle

[near furnace]

tripple wolf spawn on my ass made me ragequit the fight after dying 5 times in less than 5 minutes

[proper sundial]

is she? I found Father to be harder

[shy marlin]

for me it's queen, fader has lots of patterns you can recognize and becomes a pretty simple dance

[proper sundial]

but he has this LINGERING FOREVER dot

and bich lieks to spam it

[shy marlin]

which is a very useful tool 😏

[solemn hawk]

i honestly havent gotten to fader yet cuz i restarted because my friend got burnt out after queen

[near furnace]

I do enjoy the queen fight more than the father fight

[solemn hawk]

he died like 7 times to the queen because he was doing the tank role while i spammed fireballs

[near furnace]

^ she

[proper sundial]

fun fight. has some complaints about lag cuz he destroys squarmiles of enviroment

worst for me is bonemass and elder. they are rather boring compared to all the other exciting fights

[solemn hawk]

i agree with bonemass because poison resistance + blunt weapons absolutely trivialize the entire fight

[proper sundial]

i mean even if youre noob and dont minmax he still jsut walks slowly and punches 😄

and has an upset stomach I guess

[tacit crystal]

The moment when you ring the bells and the sky gets green with the starting distorted guitar playing and soon after the death metal boss song starting for real when the meteor lands. Quite nice. 🤘

[turbid anchor]

is there a way to reset the crypt and burial chambers for mys erver?

[shy marlin]

@proper sundial I don’t think 0 skill is doable

I fought her passive regen and got stuck at 80%

[proper sundial]

crap damage?

yeah makes sense

[shy marlin]

I’ll try 33

There’s a dps threshold that they need to meet

[proper sundial]

well I mean skill 100 is plausible cuz you can grind it and can beat her with way lower I bet. So it seems you proved it. it can be done 🙂

[shy marlin]

well

bm 33 is much more reasonable then 100

lowkey fun as hell

did u use trollstav for fader? or still skelets

[solemn hawk]

whats yalls best methods for leveling up jump and stamina, ive died like 12 times due to me goofing around and riding deathsquitos without the no fall damage cape and i gotta level back up alot

[turbid anchor]

jumpinh

[proper sundial]

skeles. trollstav was my backup for "still technically being a necromancer" but I did it with skellies. took me a lot of time but it was fun

[proper sundial]

3 energy food and jump into floor 1 cm above your head with eyk buff. Run comes naturally when you explore alot

[oak river]

I've never beat the queen cuz she has so much health and I inevitably screw up since it takes like an hour

And then all my progress is gone so I quit

Never been to the Ashlands just cuz of that

[solemn hawk]

so real

its not even that she has an absurd amount of health

she just CONSTANTLY summons seekers so you barely have time to whittle down her health

[turbid anchor]

why are some of the mini bosses harder than the main ones 😭

[vocal rivet]

If you're taking longer than an hour to kill a boss your approach is definitely wrong.

[solemn hawk]

me n my friend had all the stuff ready for the queen and it still took us an hour to beat her

it was just purely because of the amount of seekers she spawns

[plush umbra]

yep took me and 2 others 40 mins and we each died twice

the seekers and broods are more annoying than a threat

they both went melee and i used magic

[oak river]

Yeah I can never actually attack her

I'm just fighting other stuff

It feels like the queen was designed with multiple players in mind cuz splitting the aggro seems like the only way to do anything

[vocal rivet]

The game is a solo game with optional co-op. It is all do-able by a single player.

[plush umbra]

Just way easier with multiple ppl, id imagine solo youd wanna use magic only and keep a distance

[left carbon]

The mobs do get stronger including bosses depending on how many people you have, no?

Least that was the case before.

[oak river]

Yeah that's the thing I like melee so it sucks that magic is the only viable way to do it

[shy marlin]

melee is completely viable

[vocal rivet]

Of course. I've never really bothered with magic. Always felt like a faff.

[oak river]

Still easier in multiplayer cuz you can split attention

[frank swift]

Do the devs view the fast melee tech thing as a feature or a bug/exploit? It's cool, I hope it stays

[oak river]

If you don't have the magic shield thingy you get one shot so you need at least one magic food

Unless you can sustain bone mass the whole time which would be very hard

Even if not one shot youll get staggered and comboed if there are seekers around

[fresh patio]

Anyone know if Irongate is going to be at Gamescom 2025?

There's been no news in a while, at least from what I have seen..

[vocal rivet]

They're not, no.

And they've been on vacation for the summer so there wasn't a July news blog.

[fresh patio]

You know I totally forgot about vacation to be fair and I did notice there wasn't a blog for July, was wondering what happened that's all

Thanks!

[shy marlin]

#self-promotion message @proper sundial Here's my first kill, makin dinner and gonna chill b4 i try 33 blood magic

[proper sundial]

alright cool thanks! Ill copy your technique to finish my challenge as well. ty for finding the answer 🙂

[proper sundial]

oh damn the wisp torches are a great touch! you should do Father as well. I wonder if you find him easier or more difficult.

[shy marlin]

i'd prolly use trollstav tbh

I think it's more damage overall but i'd be down to do it both ways

it'd take some learning to figure out how to position the trolls behind the boss, and you infront

[halcyon thistle]

so

sub biomes already exist, but now they will have names? deep forest in the meadows for example

from last """""teaser"""""

[near furnace]

Exploit / abuse / cheat

[bronze sierra]

Trying to color a sign as Cyan, that color no longer works i suppose? When did that get changed

[near furnace]

Hm.. cyan? 🤔

it's not a supported feature. but something don't work anymore?

[bronze sierra]

I found a way to use it. Used to be, though, i could use <color=cyan> "Text"

[wet juniper]

Hello, has anyone tried using Valheim Legends and Epic Loot mod together? Are they compatible, or do they make loot and weapons feel too crazy, or cause any other issues?

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 😄

[wet juniper]

thank you

[thorn wing]

guyz should i try mods for my first playthrough or play the vanilla game first and then mods (I am talking about fullgame changing mods)

[merry pebble]

100% try normal first, why would you change something you now nothing about?

[near furnace]

most people would say vanilla first

[thorn wing]

ok Should i try qol?

[merry pebble]

No? Why?

[thorn wing]

NO i just thought watching youtubers it would be good

[near furnace]

depends 🤔

[tacit crystal]

Of course we encourage to try vanilla experience first, not every QoL features mods offer are as QoL as someone would think, it's kinda subjective how people see QoL features.

[near furnace]

if this will be your first playthrough. watching someone will spoil content

[proper sundial]

I did trollstav in the past, found it not to be a challenge. I only died once cuz I took a troll.meteor onto my own head haha

[winter flax]

hello are there any servers that i could play multiplayer just like minecraft survival servers

[gaunt birch]

Hi, Does anyone know if Deep North will be released this year? I've been waiting a while to play through it again and finish it completely.

[weary egret]

My guess is no, but no one knows for sure

[strong stirrup]

we will see

likely not as the combat update is coming out before it

[gaunt birch]

Combat? I'm not up to speed. What would it be? A new combat mode?

[tacit crystal]

Very likely not during this year tbh.

[gleaming robin]

hi, I am looking for someone to play, Is that right channel do that xD?

[merry pebble]

We have no estimate when it might be from devs, but it will most likely not be soon and they said that there are no planned updates for end of the year which is when we could expect it at the earliest. So i am willing to bet its not coming this year. <--- ofcourse just my personal opinion 🙂

[gaunt birch]

oh:(

[tacit crystal]

Check https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510.

[gleaming robin]

oh thanks

[gaunt birch]

Oh,thank you very much anyway 🙁

[merry pebble]

Yep, next update that will come will bring changes to combat on slopes, hence the name "Combat update" 😄

[nocturne wolf]

There will be more changes than that, this is just what has been confirmed already.

[gaunt birch]

I'm so excited for the Deep North, I killed the fader and have been looking forward to this update ever since... Valheim is one of the best Viking games in my opinion

[merry pebble]

We are all excitedly waiting for it

[steel mica]

Shakingly waiting

[near furnace]

for?

deep combat north update?

[lunar sapphire]

Sounds like they're waiting for the "The ground is shaking" event

[steel mica]

both to be real

[rain flare]

All of the above 😂

[west mica]

office everyone stay calm gif

[gloomy hull]

deep north 🙏

[balmy willow]

THE NEW UPDATE'S CRAZY

[tiny mortar]

oh my gods my prayers have been heard

no spoilers in this channel

[balmy willow]

oop, sorry

[vivid turret]

Yo i'm checking the patch it's kinda goated.

[tiny mortar]

very cool update cant wait for the official release

[vivid turret]

Thank you dev team, very cool.

[oak river]

oh my god im starting a new run

[vivid turret]

https://tenor.com/view/wow-that-was-really-cool-gif-23870398

Aw shucks no embed.

[oak river]

if i start a run in the beta the world will carry over when it fully releases right

[west mica]

RIP Bonemass supremacy

[glossy socket]

BEAR BEAR BEAR BEAR BEAR BEAR BEAR

[west mica]

The new forsaken powers are so much better, they all look useful, will be hard to choose

Where will the new mobs be, Bear in mountains? Vile in Swamp?

New point of interest too, leaving a lot of my world uncovered should pay dividens

[undone turret]

amazing changes, now I only need a ui overhaul and I won't have to touch modded ever again!

[gleaming musk]

I didn't know we were going to get more updates before Deep North

[warped sinew]

Are they tameable?

[glossy socket]

I wish i knew bets on no

[plain yarrow]

Did they buff heavy weapons right? Since they were difficult to use and not that great

[warped sinew]

Part two, can you ride them?

[mental hawk]

Jesus Christ this update is amazing

[muted osprey]

I don't see myself switching back from modded passive forsaken powers to these ones

[mental hawk]

I cant wait to be home and play

[restive linden]

I’m tempted to try the PTB. Guess I’ll make a backup save in case things mess up.

[steel wedge]

Same. I almost never do, but this upcoming patch looks soooo good

[mental hawk]

BEAR, I can finally fight a BEAR

[lyric olive]

So this update isn't a new biome?

What exactly did it do and how do I see it

[mint bluff]

#news message

[lyric olive]

Not useful
