[tough mulch]

they are weak if you use poison res mead + root headpiece

[pure otter]

fyi the mask and mead do not stack

mead is better but you have to keep drinking it, mask is pretty good and you just have to wear it

[proven pebble]

damn i didn't even think of that, thanks man

[tough mulch]

Oh right, I forgot stronger resistance overrides weakner ones

[tough mulch]

No problem 👍

[frozen fable]

I just make the poison resist mead and later on just take the damage and don't bother.

[tough mulch]

Ooze bombs are good though

Very useful later down the line

[paper marsh]

They're fun for fuling villages

Other than that I feel like they're just used to cheese frost caves and sealed tower

[sleek sky]

hit f5

that brings up the cheater console

you also need to type "devcommands" to enable the cheats

[tough mulch]

Infested mines as well

[paper marsh]

Yeah they can cheese any dungeon really. Maybe other than morgen/troll caves

[covert fox]

Where can I find mod for valheim

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[tough mulch]

Morgen is much easier actually, a campfire stops them from spawning

[mental pasture]

much more risky but more fun imo is dodge rolling every time the oozes spread poison, it works the same for greydwarf shamans, cultists and even moder, its something about these animations only having one/a few frames of actual hitboxes that you can dodge roll to be uneffected, so animations can be misleading in your favor

[split adder]

where do i find a queen vegviser

[tough mulch]

In the infested mines

[dark coyote]

I like the rhythm of fighting morgens, parry 1 2 parry 1 2

[silk token]

for greatswords they give you barely enough time to thrust and barely enough time to recover and parry again, zero timing required just do everything asap

[dark coyote]

xactly, it matches up perfectly, I use maces but im guessing any 1h weapon

[night stirrup]

Hey all I am new, week one done now. I look for players to play with in german language, where should I look for that?

My friend that showed me the game left 🤣

[fossil delta]

#1024264966712340510 I found German players there, years ago, now, but we all spoke English. So.... good luck!

[shadow elk]

Any fresh ish modded server

[fossil delta]

Same as above. Look there.

[night stirrup]

Ok 🤣

[split adder]

do you think the police will believe my story that i accidentally shot a dvergr when trying to kill a 2 star hare

[somber shadow]

anyone sort of new to the game like me and want to start a world together? cba playing alone , im 25 m English

[rare lichen]

Try making a post here 🙂

[somber shadow]

ah sorry mate didnt see

[hard sluice]

thats good to know... but its sounds a bit broken.

ooze bombs are great to hunt wabbits : P
its the only thing i use it for

[dark coyote]

the dvergr stole your hare 😉

[fossil delta]

They are great for killing ticks and seekers on the other side of doors in the mines.

As well as those roots? They don't break those.

[hard sluice]

they are. the bigger bombs made from gjalls...glands.. work good for that also.
i try not to use that method though

[fossil delta]

They destroy the wood doors and roots, though. So prefer the ooze bombs.

[hard sluice]

good point, i never thought about it

i guess when i finally get to that strategy, its because the entrance is flooded with bugs. i dont really use it through walls

[idle storm]

Ooze bombs are pretty good against seekers in general,not just with wall cheese. Good damage, Aoe, low stam cost. Not much more you can ask for really.

[hard sluice]

the main downside is having to farm those leather scraps and oozes. even the resin.

[fossil delta]

For the unbreakable doors , I just use a sledge hammer.

[fossil delta]

Well, I now know I need them, and a lot of them, so be sure to get lots of them when I do new play through.

[hard sluice]

i'm pretty sure there are players who rush the mistland, find a mine nearby water, and clear is using the stagbreaker for early cores. there are ways to cheese it.

[idle storm]

I mean leather scraps aren't exactly hard. Gives you a reason for that boar farm. As for oozes i generally get enough just going through the swamp and having the occassional ooze raid. You don't exactly need a lot, a stack will easily last you a while.

Maybe it's just me being a packrat but i always end up with chests full of resin and leather scraps anyway

[hard sluice]

i only use them for rabbits, so if i just try to keep some scraps and ooze, i get to the mistland with enough of them.

[fossil delta]

100 to 150 should be plenty, and my wife and I do a lot of mines. We usually end up with 30+ spare cores before we move on to Ashlands.

[hard sluice]

on this run, i made some rabbit traps, for a change. i barely used the bombs.
i do admit that bombs are very fun to use..

[fossil delta]

The ooze bombs are good to use against Fulings. Those buggers run away when you bomb them, so great to keep you from getting swarmed.

The beserkers don't run away, though. So keep them in mind. 😄

[hard sluice]

i love fighting fuling :3 and raiding their villages

[proven pebble]

In what biome do onions grow?

[hard sluice]

do you mean, where can you plant them, or where do you find them?
The can be grown in the same biomes are the turnips and carrots.

[fossil delta]

Its my favorite stage of the game. Its why to this day I still end up with a full BM chest, with a second on the way to being full. 😄

[proven pebble]

Where can you plant them?

[fossil delta]

Meadows, BF and plains.

[proven pebble]

Ok tnx , im dumb asf

[fossil delta]

Well, a lot of people don't realize what you can plant in the plains, so don't feel bad.

[hard sluice]

earlier on, my favorite thing in valheim was to roam the plains at night and take on all the fulings :3
i still like it... but i think i actually prefer the ashlands for combat now.
i know some players hate ashlands, but i don't.

[split adder]

i like seeker meat because i can use it as food for the rest of the game without worrying about running out

[fossil sentinel]

do any one want to start a world with 2-4 people and just chill cus my friends download the game and after we beat the elder they just quit

[hard sluice]

it probably makes the game easier for me, but i generally use the best food available.
misthare supreme, serpent stews, glazed chicken, etc
and a lot of salads

(i love playing valheim with others... but i kind of need my pause button, so i keep to solo for now)

[fossil delta]

I hate Ashalnds mostly because of how ugly it looks. The near constant fighting just gets tedious.

[hard sluice]

the initial idea that was pitched for ashland was that the whole thing would be the ruins of a huge city, destroyed by fader. cool no?
but i think it was a very costly design.

(but thats why there are so many ruins)

[fossil delta]

I use the best foods for the hardest biome. Once you get that better gear you can pretty safely go into those lesser biomes with even lower quality food than you first went into them with. So I keep that food on hand for when I go for resupply, etc...

Plus use the feasts.

[hard sluice]

yeah, i like the feasts for casual gameplay.
which is counter intuitive for me, it took me a while to understand that.
i thought a feast would be the ultimate stats food, and meals would be more for daily stuff. its the opposite.
thats not really an issue for me now though, i dont play with portals, and i can't carry feasts.

[dark coyote]

the biggest + of feasts is their duration imo

[hard sluice]

the total stats arent terrible neither. I would sometime use the mistland feast as a 3rd food when going into ashlands

[fossil delta]

Well, you can, but then you need a table to put them on. So even more mats to carry. 😄

[hard sluice]

i'm carrying mats to repair my gear, extra food, extra arrows. and wisp torches... i barely have room to loot anything.
and also, going to the witch to buy more seasoning is like a... 45 mins round trip..

[fossil delta]

They can work when you use two feasts then a high tier HP food, or stamina, if thats what you need more. I'm all about blocking, so HP for me.

[fossil delta]

Even with portals, I still buy a lot of each, because I don't like the extra time of just a portal. 😄 So another reason for me to never do a no portal run. 😄

[paper marsh]

Can I ask what the reasoning behind not using dodges/parries because they're too strong, but not feeling a similar sentiment with hitting enemies through solid walls/doors?

[fossil delta]

Mostly because they can hit me with their AoE's. So all is fair in love and war.

Plus they outnumber me.

[paper marsh]

Interesting, I don't think I've ever had an enemy in a dungeon hit me through the wall

I don't hug/linger by walls much though

[fossil delta]

Not even the soldiers? They have hit my wife and I , even through floor levels.

[paper marsh]

I find it rare that they really agro on me and start attacking through walls, though I suppose it does happen sometimes and I'll back up for a sec

But I usually just go from room to room, I don't linger in a room for long enough for a soldier to agro, walk over, and start attacking, before I've already broken the door and am in the room with them

[fossil delta]

Depends on the numbers to me. Like when I can see them, and its only one or two, I will go through and kill them. Meaning seekers. If its 3 or more, I'll do things like use Ooze Bombs, or if its an unbreakable door, I'll just play it safe and use my sledge, etc...

Like last night, first door in to the right had soldiers behind it. Plus seekers and ticks. It was one of those big open rooms. So we bombed them until all but the soldier sounded dead (They weren't, didn't know it was a big room, so they were just further back), then went in. Then found out it was a huge room, with still more seekers and ticks, etc...

[paper marsh]

I like the dungeons for dealing with hordes, because with the tight doorways/hallways in some spots you can really bottleneck them to make them easier to deal with

Tougher to do outside dungeons

[hard sluice]

the only cheesing i do in the infested mine is to retreat to the door when it gets too hot. and from there, most of these bugs cant reach me, but i can't really jump in neither. So i end up fighting them from a point they can barely reach. but thats as far as i'm willing to go.
My main focus when exploring mine is to always leave the exit route clear, so i end up in that situation more often than i want to.

i noticed i can jump on bears and attack them from there... i think its a bit of a cheese, but its also a bit risky and requires some skill, so i'm still on the fence about it.

[paper marsh]

I like to always explore all open rooms in a dungeon first. So something doesn't suddenly sneak up behind me

[hard sluice]

same !
i start with whats open, then i open the rooms 1 by 1, starting with those on my right.(so i dont skip anything)

[paper marsh]

I start on the left 🤣

[trail pelican]

yeah start left and work my way right

[green reef]

I change it up every time. then I go back and do it again to make sure I didn't miss anything.

[pliant radish]

I change it up but I always use a depth first search so long as it doesn’t lead to a cycle

[fossil delta]

I start to my left or to my right. The important part is remembering which way I started in. In infested mines, since its much more prone to having either direction blocked off, its important to be flexible.

[proven pebble]

Im doing a fists build , the valheim devs must add beer to make it fully imersive

[silk token]

lol me too!
1-anything open
2-left
3-right
4-middle
i do middle or straight ahead last in any dungeon because its the easiest to see you still havent opened/mined so you dont miss anything

[fossil delta]

We have mead, which is far better than any beer.

[silk token]

“tasty mead” doesnt do it for you?

[pliant radish]

It’s tasty!

[kindred hare]

Are we there yet folks ?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, so far the Infested Mines make it rather obvious by either having stairs down to some good food, glowing nice and bright for you, or something else rather blatantly obvious. The sides usually have the doors or tunnels, or tunnels behind doors, etc...

[timber marsh]

I have learned the bog witch is not your friend... she just takes all my money

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure that is the only reason she remains civil.

[timber marsh]

My piles of gold reduced to pennies

What happens when it runs out...

[fossil delta]

You can always get more. Think we still have at least 10 stacks, and we are in the Mistlands. My wife is rather obsessive about gathering such loot.

[timber marsh]

We made the mistake of dropping a portal on her doorstep

(We don't have portal restrictions on)

[hard sluice]

when i play with portals on, i end up with 40 something portals in my 'hub' at the base : P
I'm playing no portal now, but when i allow them, i use them to their fullest 😛

[timber marsh]

When I do a solo run I'll play no portals because I actually like sailing

The group server is a fun free for all

[hard sluice]

my 1st no portal run was on hard mode, which turned out to be a lot more punishing that i thought it would.
i actually gave up on it, after getting killed in 1 hit by a flying 2 stars seeker that seemed to come from nowhere xD

[fossil delta]

Yeah, just all the effort I would have to put in to account for dying is enough to make me not want to do a no portal run. You guys have given me plenty of other reasons to not want to do it too, but thats a rather big reason.

[green reef]

generally you just build more beds

[fossil delta]

Yeah, but they need to be safe, and have food, etc... Far more extra effort than I want to put into it.

[green reef]

since I typically carry a stack of 10x3, I just split off some and put it next to the bed. along with Ratatosk and Leapfoot.

[hard sluice]

I think the best thing about no portal, is that you actually need to build bases around the map. you cant just carry an extra portal in your inventory and get back home when you need something.

[fossil delta]

Well, I'm glad you enjoy doing all that. Just not for me. For a lot of reasons. The biggest being, for me, is my being terrible at direction within Valheim. My wife was making fun of me for getting lost just last night. So yeah, a no map run is also a huge no for me as well. Because even with maps, I get lost. At least portals cut down on my struggles with direction. 😄

[hard sluice]

i used to get lost all the time. it was actually 2 days ago, that i got lost and found my way back, and realized that i really got better at it.

i'm not saying everyone should be playing immersive.
but i already finished a hard mode playthrough... what is left for me to do..?

[fossil delta]

I guess if I forced myself too, I'd get better at it. It does irritate me, since I am very good at direction in real life.

[hard sluice]

Its an extreme challenge. especially when you start sailing longer distances, and get caught by storms, or fog...

some people i played with in the past tried a no portal, no map run. they are all very experienced players(all better than me, i'd say), but i don't think it went beyond the plain boss. it just gets too tedious for most after that.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I am not much of a fan for tedious. The game pushes me to my limits as it is, with just farming.

[green reef]

it'd be nice if the landscape was more varied to make it a bit easier to navigate, but there area ways around that too.

[fossil delta]

I tried it once. I did not last very long with making paths, and directional signs, etc... Then when it came to sailing, I just decided to forget about it.

[hard sluice]

that other day, i found my way back because i recognise how a mountain, plains and swamp connected to each other, and made me remember where i was..
thats why i say i'm getting better.
normally, i need to build landmarks to find my way.

when i started, i was spending time building paths, but i ended up using the lines between biomes instead. it was too time consuming

[echo yew]

I simply remember the whole map and name the portals incoherent gibberish

[fossil delta]

You... have a far better memory than I am capable of.

[echo yew]

I can't remember what I had for breakfast but I can remember raided crypts based on tree pattern

[hard sluice]

if i stop playing for a week or 2, i start forgetting the layout of my map..
and i better not quit randomly in the middle of nowhere, because there are real risks i just dont remember where i was, what i was doing, and what direction is my nearest base..

[green reef]

that has kept me logging back into this no/map no/portal just so I don't forget where everything is

[copper karma]

Why not draw a map

[hard sluice]

i tried... it very difficult to do.

[fossil delta]

I USUALLY recall what I had for breakfast, so I guess we all have our talents. 😄

[echo yew]

The world is a circle

The map will get distorted if you try for a square map

[copper karma]

Doesn't have to be perfect. Just an island/continent kind of thing. Relative positions between them

[hard sluice]

what i ended up doing are landmarks. so i may not have a very precise idea of what the layout is like, but i know the way from 1 point to another

yeah, you are right that it is the best way to go. i tried many times, and i dont seem to have the talent for it.

[paper marsh]

Deathless playthrough?

Fists only playthrough?

[hard sluice]

deathless is next

[echo yew]

I plan my landmarks on small inconveniences I have had, like when wolves rip me to shreds and when an abomination clobbers me

[fossil delta]

Yeah, no portals, and no maps, just seems like much more of a time sink than I want to have. I put enough hours into playing Valheim without creating ways to invest even more hours.

[covert fox]

Which button is for console command on keyboard ?

[fossil delta]

F7, I think. Might be F2.

[hard sluice]

It's true that these are the events that really stick in the mind : P
i also kind of link landmarks to events that happened

[green reef]

I cut down a lot of trees, put down a lot of campfires and wood posts, some signs, although I rarely read them. some paths, not many.

[covert fox]

Both not

[fossil delta]

You trying to do dev commands?

[covert fox]

Yes

[echo yew]

I think I'm on death 231 or around there for my current world, so I have many little landmarks

[covert fox]

Just need button XD

[fossil delta]

There are additional steps you have to do to enable them. I don't have them memorized, but someone else likely does.

[covert fox]

Enabled brother just searching brother XD

[edgy warren]

Our servers is about to fight yag today I just looked up what the drop was to make sure it was enough for the 4 of us... But he only drops 3 things is that going to be an issue and should we find more totems for fight twice?

[hard sluice]

one other thing i use to give me directions is those small cabins i do along the map, i try to give each of them a little something unique, so they become memorable.

[fossil delta]

That sounds like my first play through. Soooo many deaths...

[echo yew]

You only need the wisp fountain from him, even one drop should suffice

[fossil delta]

All bosses drop based upon number of players in the fight. I think. Moder may be an exception.

[echo yew]

However i have completed the game to the extent that we can and now my only concern is building and keeping the horrid bats away from my chickens and askvin

[fossil delta]

Yeah, you get 3, at least. Don't recall if you got more with more players. I don't think you do with him either.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, just had that event last night. My fully enclosed houses kept them all safe.

[edgy warren]

Ok cool thanks, guess we'll hope for getting 1 for each player if not sounds like we will be fine, excited for the mistslands never done it before and going in blind😂

[echo yew]

Chickens are the real problem, the askvin just escape and murder the local wildlife until I round them up again

[fossil delta]

Yeah, mine are basically living in a glorified coffin. For their protection. 😄

[echo yew]

I would spend the materials to make an actual barn, but I need to spare every parcel of wood and stone I have to build my newer base (and castle)

[fossil delta]

This play through I have just used Draugr villages for my bases.

[hard sluice]

idk why but i always fo the same thing for chickens. i do a circle of pallisades* (might be the wrong word in english), with a roof. in the middle i put some beams and a hanging braziers.

[idle storm]

Elder altar base is the lazy mans option. You get out of having to farm mats for walls by not having any 😁

[fossil delta]

We don't have the proper mats to do what I would call "normal" chicken houses, like I had on my farm.

[paper marsh]

Taming and breeding isj just too much work for me to bother

maybeee I'l tame some lox or askvin to have a mount but otherwise I prefer killing over nurturing

[hard sluice]

chickens are easy. you need 2 eggs and seeds.

[fossil delta]

I end up with 4 to 6 breeding pairs of chickens, so up to 6 hen houses.

[hard sluice]

i only keep 4 chickens. i rename those and slaughter the rest.
being the mature person i am, i give them names like Peepee and Poopoo.... my 11 years old think its very funny...

[fossil delta]

They are all just food to me. So I rarely bother with naming them.

I'll name them once I no longer need to eat them.

[hard sluice]

i'm actually a bit of a softy when it comes to killing passive animals in games xD
but valheim teaches very early that it needs to be done, in this game.

actually.... anything that doesnt attack me, i struggle to attack it : P
like dvergrs

[fossil delta]

Kind of the same deal when your a farmer. Your raising food.

[lone rampart]

I'll stick with turnips 😛

[hard sluice]

in real life, i stopped eating meat for years after working in a cattle farm..

[fossil delta]

The farm was mine. So it wasn't much of a choice once your that invested in it.

All I can say is, they lived well until it was their time.

[proven pebble]

no, theres cooldown on it

[silk token]

you’ll still be blind after you go in 😂

[edgy warren]

Oh🫠 is that why it's called 'mist'lands

[honest frigate]

Sighhhh

[paper marsh]

5 bronze 3 rubies for a silly stamina trinket that everyone loves? I wanted to try it out but seems steep for what it is

[shy marlin]

it's expensive relative to the age but it's strong throughout pretty much the entire game

i've been rolling with it and it's solid

[fossil delta]

I prefer the iron trinket, but its not bad.

[shy marlin]

brooch is solid too if you like defense

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I pass on most of the trinkets because they don't support how I play. Otherwise, some more of them would be very useful.

Aside from their short durations. All too often I finally trigger them just as I finish fighting.

[green reef]

adrenaline could use a few tweaks.

[fossil delta]

I agree. I also think durations could be a bit longer. Even on par with the powers we get from bosses, in terms of duration.

[paper marsh]

Think I might be getting converted off of knives

Just brought a bear to quarter health with paws of the bear before it could react

[hard sluice]

the only issue i ever had with knives was when fighting wolves in steep slopes.
But the combat update helped a lot.
and that theres no ashland version*
But skoll and hati are in my top3 fav weapons

[fossil delta]

Thats.... nice.

[paper marsh]

How often do you proc it? It feels like a meh buff if it doesn't proc very often, which I imagine it doesn't

I do love brooch yea

[hard sluice]

i dont have the stats, but i think the black metal knife is probably one of the most underated weapon in this game.
its cheap, its strong. its one handed. its really good.

[shy marlin]

it's only 50 adrenaline, so procs happen semi frequently

if you're in any sort of medium duration fight it'll pop

[fossil delta]

Yeah, the more they get over a 60 for its trigger, the less interested I become.

[shy marlin]

ye

[covert fox]

How to activate boss power on keyboard ?

[hard sluice]

i think its f, by default. i switched mine with the one to hoslter the weapons..r ? so i'm not sure actually.

[fossil delta]

Yes, F. Usually.

Check key binds otherwise.

[covert fox]

OK ty

[paper marsh]

Can't say no to a trinket that's got a crisp 10 adrenaline activation cost

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I was meaning trinkets on the whole with that threshold.

[hard sluice]

im thinking of giving the 'crystal heart' a try once i reach mistlands ashlands
but thats a 80adrenaline trinket

[fossil delta]

Its worth seeing how well any of them work for you, if they fit how you play at all.

[paper marsh]

I'm thinking crystal heart might be nice for poking/playing safe until you proc it, then going in once its procced. Particularly interested in how useful it would be paired with berserkir mead

[barren whale]

the berserkir mead combo is nice but crystal heart takes a billion years to proc

[fossil delta]

IF I were still a heavy bow user I'd probably like... whats it called? Wolf sight? But I don't, anymore. So I have never tried it.

[hard sluice]

i'm not having that much difficulties to get the procs with the stamina regen one. i keep thinking its because it rewards parrying a lot.
i basically always let the enemies take a swing, to parry and counter. i rarely attack 1st.

[barren whale]

I wish they'd just halve all the "flat hp/stam/eitr refill" effects and halve the adrenaline cost too

[hard sluice]

player feedback seems pretty clear to me : they are too difficult to activate.

[fossil delta]

They almost never activate, not even on boss fights.

[barren whale]

they didn't change things much between PTB and live
just halved a lot of the stave adrenaline (still quite high imo) so you couldn't have infinite eitr lmfao

[fossil delta]

Typically I have to fight rather large mobs.

[hard sluice]

i can try recording my gameplay to show how i do it.... but i normally play very bad when i know people will look xD
👉 👈

[barren whale]

yeah the only time i can proc shit is clearing infested mines or fighting bosses (if i go out of my way)

you can also proc if you like oneshot a fuling village with a lightning weapon but... yeah that's 2 biomes lower

[hard sluice]

i think you said the important part : you have to go out of your way to activate it.
if you just hit 1st, get staggers and follow up, it wont trigger. you need to fish for those parries.

[barren whale]

yeah i don't like farming adrenaline, feels like im in a crappy MMO or something

[hard sluice]

i think in some situations, you might actually be better with the extra inventory slot than a trinket...

[fossil delta]

I'm becoming convinced that is the majority of the time.

The VAST majority.

[paper marsh]

Depends on playstyle and trinket

[hard sluice]

for me, 'the jury is still out' (i hope this expression translates in english, im not sure)

[barren whale]

yup that's the exact english phrase

[fossil delta]

IT does.

[paper marsh]

Once I unlock the fins of destiny I run around with those all the time and they're useful more often than not

[barren whale]

fins definitely great for exploring

[fossil delta]

As much as I swim, I should wear those.

[barren whale]

I think with bonemass nerf and eikthyr buff eik is godtier for entering mistlands with low run/jump

[fossil delta]

Well, Eikthyr is the power I run around with 99.5% of the time, with high skills. So I can agree with you there.,

[paper marsh]

very convenient

Also if you're like me and sometimes have to run for your life because you put a buttload of challenges on yourself, just swimming away from your troubles is very helpful. You really can outswim most stuff (even leaches, iirc)

Just don't try to outswim a wraith

[fossil delta]

Yeah, those wraiths are fast.

[hard sluice]

I'm kind of stuck with Moders power because i sail all the time. but its fine, i like it.
And going to the alter to change my power takes way too much time)

[fossil delta]

That is the power I most often wish I had gone back to spawn too get. 😄 While I am sailing, of course.

[barren whale]

i hate sailing i'd rather swim
and now with the fins trinket I can :D

[fossil delta]

Combined with the swimming mead, yeah, it might work much of the time over a boat.

Eikthyr+mead+trinket? How far could you swim?

[paper marsh]

Lot of factors to consider

Though by just combining two of them, you get zero stamina usage while swimming

[hard sluice]

can you spawn sea serpents while swimming...?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I think I am going to try that out. Like I said, I swim a lot.

[paper marsh]

At that point I guess its just how much mead do you wanna down or potentially do you wanna sit in the water and wait for eikthyr power to recharge

[fossil delta]

Yes. Ask me how I know.

[barren whale]

i think you can swim till the buffs run out depending on skill level

[paper marsh]

I mean they will spawn naturally whether you're swimming or sailing yeah

But I'm sure you could enable devcommands and spawn one yourself if you really wanted to

[barren whale]

yes they spawn when you load the chunk

[hard sluice]

(thats what i meant, will they spawn normally, as if you were in a boat. some days, my english doesnt work properly)

it sounds terrifying to me.

[fossil delta]

Hint: Never swim out to a Lev just because you can. You cannot fight a serpent while swimming.

[paper marsh]

I dunno if you can outswim a serpent

[hard sluice]

i got killed by greydwarfes getting pushed in the water and not allowed back :_(
i cant be the only one

[paper marsh]

They do really struggle to bite my boat even when going very slow

[fossil delta]

I didn't live long enough to find out. 😄

[paper marsh]

With ratatosk and fins of destiny I feel like you'd be safe from a serpent

[fossil delta]

That may well be. They didn't exist when I got merked.

I have swam out to Lev's since then. Just I obviouosly got very unlucky that first time. Plus Lev's rarely spawn close enough to shore to even see them, let alone swim to them.

Even though I have a cluster of 3 in my current world, that I can see and could swim to.

[green reef]

man, I get lost in Ashlands

[silk token]

dont forget about hammer for cardinal directions. trees mean coastline. never break the bell holders they’re too good to navigate with green laser beams

[split adder]

what do i do when i die across the ocean and i dont have a boat to get my stuff

do i need to make a new boat

[green reef]

yeah, just gotta work your way back to it depending on what you lost

[split adder]

should a karve be good enough to go near the mistlands

[paper marsh]

Should be fine yeah

In the future its a good idea to put up portals to be able to easily get back in case of death

[split adder]

i was gonna put up a portal but as soon as i got near shore i got attacked by 3 seekers

[abstract warren]

Wolf fur cape and lox cape are functionally the same right?

[green reef]

2* dvrgr rogue going to help me take this fortress

[split adder]

why cant we put a workbench on our boat to repair it

[abstract warren]

Because that's too easy

And you need a stable ground to build it I guess

[oblique zinc]

What about leviathan, at least until it submerges. It would be so much fun to build a base on top just to watch it go under after too many pickings

[split adder]

would the stuff get destroyed when it sinks because it would be floataing or would it go down with the leviathan

[green reef]

I got like 5 leviathans here, lets see

[split adder]

i dont think you can build on them

[green reef]

yeah, oonly kinda sorta even gives a red image

[sleek sky]

Man imagine if instead of sinking the leviathans moved and you had to chase after them 🤣

Portable moving house would be funny tho

[split adder]

hunting deer with a spear is hard

[oblique zinc]

Like a floating tower .. where did my house go ?

Maybe if you build from shore with iron beams and then build around and under you can capture it

[split adder]

my pet leviathan

[oblique zinc]

Howl's moving castle

[split adder]

if we move the seekers to the ashlands we have australia

[green reef]

I like hunting them with knives mostly.

[split adder]

how do you get close enough for that

[green reef]

run fast, knives don't slow you down,

plus, usually you can whap them before they even alert

[shy marlin]

Man I'm really craving that press button to undo last build action button 😔

[oblique zinc]

I can "whap" them with wooden club. Sneak and make sure you are unwind

[green reef]

yeah, with knives you can skip the sneak and downwind part. just run run run, whap

bear armor and claws preferred, but knife works fine

[oblique zinc]

I mean I just use arrows. What self-respecting hunter hunts deer with knife lol

[split adder]

the best one

after i get a sealbreaker, is there any point in collecting more fragments

[gray sand]

Nope.

[split adder]

is there generally any specific rooms in an infested mine that hold a queen vegviser

[light moat]

I think I usually find them in those watery pits 🤔

[split adder]

i hate those

[silk token]

also didyouknow the alt attack of knives is silent? you can leap like checkers one to the other and they're non the wiser

[green reef]

its pretty rare I use the alt on any weapon, but whats crazier is the combos with like the sword that involve block in the middle.

[paper marsh]

Animation cancelling bug/exploit comboes yeah. The more effective version of them is using an emote, which will allow you to do like 10 sword stabs in 2 seconds

[green reef]

hmm, the one with the block in it, does a different move after, seems purposeful?

[silk token]

@dark coyote unless they changed it in the past... idk year? since i used to be a knife boy. it's literally silent they don't alert if you kill their friend next to them

[paper marsh]

I thought so too at first.

Then I learned it wasn't

[dark coyote]

not doubtiing you, just interesting

[green reef]

hmm, I rarely get any of the combos right anyway. so that makes me feel better?

[paper marsh]

The dual wield knives has one that looks very cool

[ocean bloom]

Hey chat o/ anyone looking to add to their group for a fresh/copper/bronze start?

[silk token]

weird. i swear i just found a wooden shack in black forest. like a meadows shack in the woods.

[split adder]

i keep getting so much carapace from bugs

should i upgrade my armor

[green reef]

yeah

[split adder]

are you kidding me

these stupid bugs made my eitr refinery break and the resources despawned

i hate seekers

[green reef]

woah, that sucks

[split adder]

do i need refined eitr for ashlands

[green reef]

yes

[silk token]

is your refinery outside without any walls or anything??

[split adder]

yes

i probaby should start building with walls

[green reef]

marble or iron for that thing

or earth

[paper marsh]

I think a lot of ppl do that because they don’t know how to or don’t want to bother safe proofing it so it doesnt destroy their base

[split adder]

would it be dumb to make an eitr refinery at my main base

[silk token]

not ifyou put marble or iron fence around it

[split adder]

do i really need to do that in the meadows

[barren whale]

to prevent the eitr from breaking your base

[split adder]

ah

[green reef]

you can hide it behind earth or unbreakable features

[split adder]

since when did the twig throw rocks

[green reef]

if you instigate and back off. lol

[fossil delta]

It still damages iron. Only black marble is immune.

[paper marsh]

I believe the bronze fence is immune?

[fossil delta]

True. Earth is also immune.

[fossil delta]

Never tried it. Just assumed it too is not immune, since its a weaker metal.

[silk token]

i had it encased in iron fence in my last playthrough

[fossil delta]

I did it a few play throughs ago. Ate iron up almost as fast as the white stone walls.

So for total immunity, the only one I know of is Earth (walls) and black marble.

[silk token]

i'm talking about like "cage wall" made from iron

i just loaded my last save to see it, "cage wall 2x2 does not need repairs"

theres no part of it thats damaged

[fossil delta]

Me too. Wall pieces, the door piece, they all break down rather fast.

[fossil delta]

Then either you got lucky, or the game glitched for me.

[silk token]

then my world is bugged, idk

ive always put it in iron, even like mistlands release

[fossil delta]

Then you got lucky, because I had to repair the iron over and over again, until I switched to black marble. Or I got screwed for a long time in that play through.

[lone rampart]

Per the wiki: Structures immune to elemental damage include iron and copper cage pieces, and Black marble floor/wall/pillars.

[silk token]

well ill put it in iron this run too and see 🤷‍♂️ idk

[fossil delta]

Well, either the wiki is wrong, or I got screwed, because the iron was most definitely not immune for that entire play through.

[barren whale]

cage wall is fine lol

[fossil delta]

I haven't even bothered since then, so let me know too. I'd rather use the marble for other things right now.

[lone rampart]

Robert you smelt inferior iron 😛

[fossil delta]

Maybe. Maybe it was a server thing. Regardless, the iron did not work all that well. It most certainly was not immune.

[barren whale]

i checked the code and iron might not be fine

now im curious

[fossil delta]

It was not fine for me. But apparently was for Yacko.

Apparently its been fine for others too.

[hard sluice]

i think you guys said it but, the cheapest way to shield surrounding from refinery is to dig a hole and put the refinery in it

its not the most elegant tho 😛

[shy marlin]

it all depends on how you build your enclosure for the refinery

[light moat]

Iron cage works perfectly fine for me 🤔

[fossil delta]

Whole reason I used iron for that play through is because I swore it was immune when I played Mistlands on a server before.

IT most definitely wasn't that time. For whatever reason.

For a long period of time, too.

[barren whale]

yeah iron is fine

tested ingame
i wonder if the burning settings make any difference

[fossil delta]

Well, if it ever fails for me again, I'll be sure to tell it to grow a spine, or something, and not take damage any more.

[shy marlin]

oh that might be it?

[fossil delta]

The last run was on a server, and modded, but he had mods that were only active when he was on, and that damage occurred when he was not on. Maybe it was still his mods causing it, but I did not note any other strange issues like that.

[split adder]

gjall are scary

[fossil delta]

Wait until you get a 2 star that just takes you out. Or, just never go out at night.

[barren whale]

yeah cuz in the data i'm viewing, iron pieces are immune to lightning/poison all that
black marble is immune too i think, but in a different way? maybe it doesn't even register the hit

[fossil delta]

Maybe its considered to be like Earth Walls.

[barren whale]

black marble is immune to refinery sparks the way players are immune to Chop/Pickaxe
iron is immune in the way players are immune to Spirit

so yea something about registering hits

[covert wraith]

update when ?

[fossil delta]

Well, if Iron is immune, its weird that such a glitch went on so long. I am starting to think his personal mods some how caused it.

[barren whale]

idk i spent like an hour trying to explain dps to him yesterday and he got mad

[fossil delta]

When it shows up in this channel: #news

[covert wraith]

see you in 2027

[fossil delta]

It might be.

[hard sluice]

if ihad to guess, i'd say 1.0 will be ready before next winter...

[fossil delta]

I am guessing some time this year. My birth month would be nice.

[barren whale]

this would surprise me, burning is its own field
i could test some other time tho

[shy marlin]

it's just a theory, a game theory

[dusky anvil]

Okay, got plenty of iron now

Nothing yet for new armor, though. After I get that, what's next?

[fossil delta]

Are you sure? You know how much you need in later biomes than swamp?

[green reef]

I just went and got some iron and I'm wearing ashlands armor 😄

[dusky anvil]

I'm just saying I got the necessary upgrades to my tools and weapons. Now what?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, you need a lot for gear in pretty much every biome after mountains.

[hard sluice]

i dont like spending time in the crypts anymore, i dont use that much iron because of it.
just enough for the|| ovens, the smelters, the forge upgrades, the stonecutter||... and thats it

[dusky anvil]

What should I do next?

[hard sluice]

and of course, the pickaxe and the longboat

[fossil delta]

Well, you can wait to get Iron in Mistlands.

[fossil delta]

Just once your done making however many ovens, etc... you want, have several hundred left over for later.

Oh, wait, you don't get ovens in swamps.

[hard sluice]

i dont remember using iron* that much later..

[dusky anvil]

Should I swap my troll armor for something else?

Is there more exploring to be done? Am I sufficiently prepared for the third boss?

[fossil delta]

Depends on what you craft. Like if you don't do the heavy plains armor set, no iron needed for that.

[green reef]

stuff like a Mistwalker sword if you upgrade really can eat up iron

[hard sluice]

its difficult to answer that for you. dont forget to make some meads

[fossil delta]

People do fine with troll armor into the mountains. Since this sounds like your first time, I'd recommend doing the heavy iron set. Unless your fine with dying a bit more.

[hard sluice]

even my precious 'skoll and hati' require some iron. i gather it in the mistlands at that point.

[barren whale]

there's a really good armor set in Swamp that you should look for

[green reef]

I think I did bear until Silver this time

[hard sluice]

(i think you get 'aura' points for wearing a troll armor : p i like how it looks)

[fossil delta]

Yeah, but at least you can also get iron (bars) in Mistlands, you can at least wait to get it there.

[green reef]

oh yeah, taking down a viaduct is fun.

[hard sluice]

i just mine those ancient swords and armors laying around. but deconstructing bridges is certainly the big brain method #1

[dusky anvil]

I only really die to super unexpected things

And as much as better defense sounds good, that needs a LOT of iron to make and upgrade

Plus a big cut into my movement speed

[fossil delta]

IT can be irritating,. Especially when its too close to a hill, or whatever they call this type of hill. They won't collapse on their own.

[fossil delta]

Movement is over rated. I outrun pretty much anything, even in heavy armor.

[hard sluice]

movement speed penalty is also stamina use penalty, for dodge and blocking
(its still manageable, but worth noting)

[fossil delta]

I only block, and I do fine there as well.

[dusky anvil]

Those upgrade costs still >_>

[fossil delta]

Can't disagree there. But I used to build, and build high, so gathering a 1,000 iron is nothing to me. 😄

I guess thats a lie. I swore off building high until I am willing to use dev commands to just make all that iron appear. Which won't be until after 1.0. Of course, I did not expect that to be so many years later.

[dusky anvil]

Fair enough.

So, what else should I buy from Haldor aside from the belt? Anything I should keep an eye out for during exploring?

[green reef]

I thought there is a no build cost option for World?

[hard sluice]

i never used the hammer mode much, except to tests some structural ideas.
But i'm getting to that point that i want to build something huge without grinding for it

[fossil delta]

The flesh, if you want the weapons it enables. So buy one so they unlock.

[green reef]

crazy thing when you play no portal is how many serpents you find

[fossil delta]

OR, just dedicate a lot of time to sailing, preferably at night, with storms.

Well, just rain is fine.

[green reef]

just night seems fine, they spawn pretty regularly in same place too

[fossil delta]

Night just gets you one check, rain adds a second check.

Or gives you a check, if its day time.

[green reef]

just killed one, dodged 2 more. lol

[hard sluice]

these guys still give me jump scares sometimes. i'll be sailing quietly in the night, trying to keep my direction and not get lost, and one of them will roar right behind me. it still gets me.

[fossil delta]

Me too. Just usually because I am fishing.

[green reef]

my first arrow always hits the boat

[hard sluice]

i did some fishing, but not a lot. i really wish i could fish from a boat, as a passenger

[fossil delta]

Well, you have to not play solo for that to happen.

Still you can fish just fine solo.

[hard sluice]

i dont always play solo.
but i really like being able to pause, so that forces me to sometimes

[fossil delta]

In fact, I prefer fishing from the boats.

Its how I can catch lvl 4 fish with an 8 skill and only 1 stamina food.

[hard sluice]

well. same... what i meant is, when playing with others and going somewhere on a boat, theres not that much to do for those who arent sailing. it would be nice to be able to 'troll'/trawl and fish while moving.

i dont hate fishing in valheim. its a fun mini game

[fossil delta]

I hear you can do that. Just I've never tried it myself.

[dusky anvil]

Ugh, why are acorns so rare to drop?

[hard sluice]

i heart trees, especially oaks. so i'm with you on that.

[green reef]

after playing on a social server that was set to 1.5x, I love that setting

[hard sluice]

its so difficult to come back to 1x drop once you tried more : P

[fossil delta]

Over all they aren't too bad. I don't cut down that many Oak trees in the first place. but for every 10 I do cut, I usually get 10 acorns.

[hard sluice]

i think its 33% to drop 3 seeds, for all trees. so in theory, it should even out.

[dusky anvil]

0 for 6 currently

[fossil delta]

Unless they changed it, its not the same percentage for all trees. But its been like 3 years since I last saw the numbers.

Like Beech trees is now where you can get back more than you cut down. Birch is also pretty close. They used to not be.

[dusky anvil]

Killed a bear with no food to buff me. Parries are kind of goated

[hard sluice]

i think you are right.
different odds for differen trees. oak is 20%

[fossil delta]

Parry should not have worked if your HP was at 25.

[dusky anvil]

Wait. Forgot I have Queen Jam

Still, 37 HP not the highest

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure 37 should not have worked. You should have been staggered.

[green reef]

just use a torch in the left hand

[fossil delta]

So you got lucky.

[hard sluice]

the bears attack are pretty easy to parry. all except the stomp.

[dusky anvil]

Iron Buckler. +2, I think?

[hard sluice]

im not talking about easy to time, but in terms of dmg it does.

[fossil delta]

Not arguing that they are easy to parry. I am talking about how good parry is, is dependent upon how high your HP is.

[dusky anvil]

I know

[hard sluice]

on normal, you can parry bears with a lvl3 round shield, and enough hp(BF level food)

[dusky anvil]

Doesn't a Buckler hep with that?

[fossil delta]

Oh, that might make it work,. I was assuming you had the bronze buckler, at best.

[dusky anvil]

Nope. Iron pick, buckler, bow, and sword

[fossil delta]

Iron axe or sword also kills the bear pretty fast.

[green reef]

how many bells for EF?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I recall you saying you had iron now.

[dusky anvil]

I'm just a little happy for a guy who's heard, but never played a From Software game

[fossil delta]

3, I think.

[green reef]

trying to figure out what other gear for EF.

[fossil delta]

Jumping out of the way of his one power is the most important "gear" to have.

[green reef]

well yeah

[hard sluice]

i never fought it on normal, and i was too scared to go melee, so i used the ashland magic gear. it was kind of easy with it..

"easy", compared to how difficult it was to get there

[fossil delta]

Most people seem to think the magic is OP compared to melee.

[green reef]

I've killed him before, but it was duo. and we didn't watch any vids going in, had a bunch of tamed asksvin and ballastas and other crazy plans, all for naught

[fossil delta]

Aside from his one power, I felt he was a push over.

[hard sluice]

one of the devs wanted to make fader super powerful, almost unkillable, until DN is released...! i also like that idea.

but it would have made a lot of ppl mad. i get why they didnt.

[green reef]

especially considering how long between releases 😄

[fossil delta]

Well,, that one power is OP, but aside from that, he is rather whimpy.

[green reef]

I'm going to melee him. I haven't really been using a shield this playthrough, I doubt I'd want the tower sheild, even for the minions

[fossil delta]

I think the Queen is a tougher fight. Still.

[green reef]

Queen can be rough

I have Nidhog Primal, upgraded Mistwalker full flametal armor and ashen cape. I don't think there is much left

[fossil delta]

All I use is the Tower Shield. That is probably why I found him to be whimpy.

His summoned minion s are weak, compared to normals. They are easy to kill.

ITs the randoms you have to worry about.

[green reef]

I can campfire the place up I guess.

[fossil delta]

Spawn proofing is not a bad idea.

It won't last long against him, but it will buy you some time.

Well, the further out you place it, the longer they will stay up.

[green reef]

right. I'm mostly worried he will get too close to my bed.

hopefully that wont matter if I am patient

[fossil delta]

If you place that about as far away as you do for Yag, you should be fine.

[green reef]

I think when we played him lasttime our primary portal and beds were too close, his meteors got us, since they tracked us

[fossil delta]

Your talking Yag, now?

[hard sluice]

i heard a story of a whole main base, built in ashland, that got wiped by fader.
they kept dying, it kept getting closer, until it destroyed the whole thing : P
thats what valheim is about :3

[fossil delta]

I can see that happening with any boss you cannot handle.

[green reef]

ecept queen

[hard sluice]

thats how my 1st ever boss went, more or less. wiped my 1st camp.

[fossil delta]

Well, yeah, she is locked in.

[green reef]

moder I ran away and sailed home. then came back after gearing up and she was still there

[fossil delta]

They never despawn.

[green reef]

I wsa ready to bring more eggs

[fossil delta]

Good thing they don't chase you across the world.

Yag was the only one I ever had to run from. I was not properly prepared for him.

[grave anvil]

I really wish there were flametal versions of more weapons

[fossil delta]

There may eventually be. A fair number of weapons have been added to biomes they were not originally in.

So they just may be waiting to see where they are with things, once they finish The North.

[tough mulch]

I wonder what the new workbench in DN has to offer

[hard sluice]

the good news is there should be versions of all weapons for the last biome

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I am wondering if being a foundry actually means anything.

[tough mulch]

I guess Ill reunite with my battleaxe again ❤️

[fossil delta]

Very likely.

[hard sluice]

the battleaxe is at the opposite of my gamestyle, but i still love it..! its very fun to use.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, not my preferred weapon, but they are fun.

[grave anvil]

yeah but the devs' have said something along the lines of intentionally keeping weapons from having a tier for their respective biomes to encourage differentiating your playstyle

[tough mulch]

Ill be bummed out if the new workbench is just forge 3.0

[hard sluice]

on the 1st server i joined, it was kind of the tradition to give the new guy that iron battleaxe that had been passed around.
i had so much fun playing with it..!

[grave anvil]

thing is i find that idea to be a little silly considering theres a sword for every biome

[tough mulch]

wait, is it that mechanic in MHW where you can tier up a wrapon with upgrades? That would be so dope

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure they have changed their minds, considering what has been added. Only thing they have not changed is the Sledges.

[grave anvil]

i hope so

[paper marsh]

How do you know?

[fossil delta]

Demolisher is a pretty powerful upgrade, so I am not confident for a new one in The North.

[hard sluice]

i watched a bunch of interviews with the devs on yt.

[paper marsh]

Interesting

I’d also expect one of each weapon type for the final biome, or almost all weapons

Maybe not all variants (like we won’t have a 1h, 2h, AND dual wield axes, but we will at least have one axe), but all categories

[fossil delta]

IS there a 2H axe for bronze level? I just know we now have one for every biome since. I think. Not sure about Ashlands.

[hard sluice]

i think theres only the bronze axe in BF. which is almost an essential item.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, definitely that. I just don't recall noticing a 2 h for that biome.

[paper marsh]

If we don’t count ocean, I think axes are the only weapon that exists in every biome

[fossil delta]

We have some type of club/mace/hammer in every biome. Something for that skill.

[paper marsh]

True

[fossil delta]

Bow skips bronze.

Kind of.

Technically your not supposed to get fine wood until then, but you can still get it earlier.

[hard sluice]

theres no bows in plains

[fossil delta]

Ah, true. Fang is silver, isn't it?

[hard sluice]

the iron age bow would be my favorite, if the arrows would move a bit faster. its difficult to 'lead' with it, when the target is moving sideway

but its great to clear out fuling village. it can pick them 1 by 1 because its silent.

[fossil delta]

I used to hate Fang because of its glow. Now I have gotten so used to it I no longer even really note it.

[ivory lantern]

decrepit body wearing transparent skin

[tough mulch]

Skip axe, use troll instead ✅

[hard sluice]

the one time i tried to break down some birch with a fallen log, i somehow killed myself..

[tough mulch]

Same experience

[ivory lantern]

hendrix

[tough mulch]

Wut?

[ivory lantern]

i don't know

[tough mulch]

Anyways on a side note im calculating how much of each ingot you need for a nomadic playstyle

[fossil delta]

I use them for oak trees.

[fossil delta]

I've had trees kill me, I just don't recall if it was ever while trying to break birch trees down.

[hard sluice]

it depends if you want to only repair your gear, or have a full forge. in my opinion

[tough mulch]

Im thinking forge lvl being at the level where you can repair upgraded gear is good enough

[hard sluice]

it was my only 'death by trees'. i think i tried to jump over the fallen tree, and it rolled and gave me a big chunk of dmg. idk how it happened.

[tough mulch]

Or for a more speedrun playstyle just enough lvl to make higher tier gear

[hard sluice]

a good trick, if you are going to keep a stonecutter anyway, is to use that to make a grinding wheel. it saves on mats

[tough mulch]

honestly the plan is the ingot is the only thing that needs ship transport and the other mats are left behind in a safe spot where I can portal to

Anything that is not restricted in portal can be left behind

[hard sluice]

i think one of the most difficult gear piece to repair is the black metal axe. its a lvl3 forge

[tough mulch]

Grinding wheel and anvil is cheap enough

Smith anvil is a bit heavy on the iron

[hard sluice]

i thought i would be able to help you but i'm realizing my math was done with no portal in mind, so idk if my numbers will make sense.

[tough mulch]

Lol its fine

The goal of my new run is how to skip as many game mechanics as possible

[paper marsh]

What biome do you guys think gives you the biggest increase in power?

I feel like swamp

[shy marlin]

Gotta be mistlands

[hard sluice]

the artisan table is a major turning point...

[tough mulch]

Well.. ashlands

[barren whale]

whichever one you grind skills in

[shy marlin]

Mistlands introduces, mistwalker, staff of protection, and embers

[barren whale]

but yeah mistlands for feather cape and bubble shield

[shy marlin]

ah yea feather cape too

[paper marsh]

why?

[shy marlin]

if non mage, i think it's ashlands

[tough mulch]

You asked for the biggest power spike, is there no stromger gear than end game gear

[hard sluice]

i have to agree that the swamp gives a major boosts. the iron and root stuff are pretty good compared to bronze.

[shy marlin]

I think they meant, biggest power jump from previous biome type thing

[tough mulch]

Staff of the wild and trollstav

[paper marsh]

But going to ashlands you already have mistlands gear. So you're not spiking from naked using fists to lightning dual axes. You're spiking from mistwalker to dual axes

[shy marlin]

Staff of protection is greater than both of those

[tough mulch]

Ohhh I see

[paper marsh]

Bubble shield do be pretty OP, plus other magic. Mistlands might be the biggest spike

Root harnesk, stealth bow, iron brooch, and mistlands tier food which is all unlocked in swamp is pretty sweet though

[hard sluice]

the staff of the wild is the best item in the game, in my opinion...

[shy marlin]

Yea i'd put swamp in a close 2nd or third

[tough mulch]

The best item in the game is the hoe in my eyes

[tough mulch]

If its third whats second

[shy marlin]

ashlands

[paper marsh]

I'd say Mistlands, then Swamp. Maybe Ashlands next

[shy marlin]

yea i could get behind that

[tough mulch]

definitely

Poor plains never stood a chance

[hard sluice]

its the meadow. compared to being without trousers

[paper marsh]

Plains is nice, it just doesn’t bring any new game breaking mechanic or item into play

Mistlands brings top tier base defense imo

[tough mulch]

The growth is a game breaking enemy in my eyes

I'd fight bosses than dealing with growth in melee anyday

[paper marsh]

Being able to make growth bombs to spawn the little fellas is pretty powerful

But theyre rare and a lot of their power comes from being paired with a staff of embers or fracturing to use the fire weakness

[glass edge]

Demolisher makes growths go boom let alone magic

[hard sluice]

i used to hate the growths, but they have a predictable attack pattern, so after a while, they aren't too bad

[tough mulch]

I Just shoot them out of render distance 👍

Well, id probably run to mistlands first and gear up there before fighting in the plains

[hard sluice]

the problem comes when theres a bunch, and you get tarred and cant get away. you have to time those dodges perfectly and watch your stamina.

[tough mulch]

The plains has this powerspike, but for enemies lol

[hard sluice]

i think night packs of wolves were my worst enemies for a long time

[glass edge]

Fire arrows also great v growths

[barren whale]

growths are pretty lethal but so are dvergr
we are lucky there's not really an Ashlands equivalent

[glass edge]

Accidentally aggroing that 2 star mage...

[hard sluice]

oh yeah.. that support mage 2 stars dvergr, on hard mode.... that was the worst enemy i faced.

[tough mulch]

Dear lord, ashland lvl growths is a world threat and we need odin to clean up that mess

[barren whale]

if ashlands had dvergr mages and they scaled as hard as the rogues we'd be cooked

[hard sluice]

that mage was 1 shotting me with its homing missile, and could heal itself faster than i could dmg it... it was a nightmare

[barren whale]

well maybe not, ashlands weapons are quite strong agianst dvergr

[glass edge]

Using magic a lot in ashlands, more than mistlands, cant ever seem to not end up fighting the dwarves

[tough mulch]

I leave them for a bit and they die to enemies because I stayed in the area too long

Not to mention they seem to like swimming in lava

[glass edge]

So do the dead raiser skeletons, worse still every charred likes to bait them in

Just spent a minute getting 4 skeles? Off for a relaxing dip they go

[hard sluice]

those 2 things are actually my main issue with the state of the game at the moment...

its not bad enough that i can't enjoy it. but that pathfinding, making the npcs run into lava, is annoying me.

[paper marsh]

Does feel bad

[glass edge]

Aggressive/passive mode could be a partial fix

[hard sluice]

it makes me feel a little less bad about killing dvergrs though : p

[glass edge]

Actual pathing over the rocks etc much better

[hard sluice]

i can't really complain about the problem, because i dont have any solution. i just hope theres some improvements.

btw im getting close to finding that queen...
i hope i wont get a heart attack when i finally see that mine.... i'm going crazy over here.

[glass edge]

Good luck!

[arctic garnet]

Dodging against growths is a must. The I-frames and lateral movement to avoid the remainder of the tar burst. Melee on growths is doable and it's how I deal with them, but getting nailed with a full load of tar from them can be a death sentence if you're unprepared as even if you survive, you'll likely get pummeled to death by follow up bursts especially from nearby growths if you do not succeed in evading by then.
The slow-down exacerbates your imminent mortality, but if you can dodge roll just right, you can still outlast the debuff before it gets reapplied and close into melee still.

[glass edge]

Just a couple of hits from the frostner or iron sledge (weak to blunt, and fire). Then get that demolisher and farm the nice tarred building mats

[arctic garnet]

Frostner helpful with blobs, yass.

[glass edge]

Frostner so good for so long

[arctic garnet]

A well-designed tool possesses a niche which carries its utility well into territory its dated stats would otherwise suggest it to be obsolete.

Until you get a mistwalker.

[dusky anvil]

"The gods are merciful."
-game that just one shotted you with a bow

[paper marsh]

Gotta disagree on that one

Groths attacks are slow and predictable. Easy to side sprint

[arctic garnet]

Well yeah, they're dodgeable. Just don't get hit in the first place, because that makes dodging much harder.

Ah, you mean just side sprint. Yeah, sprinting also good if you don't find yourself needing dodge i-frames

[glass edge]

Jumped off your 2nd story balcony and died before even making the run back to your corpse. So merciful

[arctic garnet]

If you're ballsy, you can parry and side-dodge. The parry puts the blob off discharging its burst, and the side dodge i-frames clear yourself from the remainder of the tar already airborne.

[dusky anvil]

Game really decided to throw a one star archer in the swamp at me

And he keeps one shooting me before I can get back to my loot

[arctic garnet]

Draugr archer? Oh yeah, a surprise starred archer can send you to bed if you have a blind eye on them.

Depending on your gear stashed away, you might need to have a spare shield to cover yourself from the arrows long enough to get your goodies.

[dusky anvil]

They KEEP sending me to bed because I have no armor

[arctic garnet]

Hm. Eikthyr power and mad sprint, but I don't know just how much ground you need to cover for your body.

[glass edge]

If not doing so already, using the hoe to build paths through the swamp can eliminate a lot of annoying swimming/leaping roots etc

[dusky anvil]

This is in the middle of a crypt

[glass edge]

And the risk of leeches

[arctic garnet]

Aaah, yes, and the hoe can spare you the slowdown of water.
Oh, inside a crypt. Hm. That's... Hm.

[glass edge]

Stagbreaker stomp time

Shake the walls

[arctic garnet]

Oh, yeah, you might be able to cheese the archer from behind a wall with a stagbreaker.

depending on the layout of the crypt in question

[dusky anvil]

All that hassle, and this guy only dropped 3 entrails?

Thanks, very cool

[arctic garnet]

The suffering we must endure for our sausages.

[glass edge]

Some fine sausages

[arctic garnet]

Devour the foe which vexed you

[dusky anvil]

...I can't even stay mad, that's pretty funny. Thanks, guys

[arctic garnet]

Odin bless.

[tough mulch]

Campfire to rid of wetness and get rested buff 👍

Ill be real thou, Id just stagbreaker my way unless I have root harness

[arctic garnet]

part of me thinks the light drizzle should not itself apply the wet debuff. For few are bothered in their outdoor activities by a mere mist.

[dusky anvil]

Too late

[arctic garnet]

The zombie is now a sausage

[dusky anvil]

I went right around the corner

2 shot from 80+ HP by 2 arrows

Here we go again...

[glass edge]

The iron sledge beckons

[dusky anvil]

2 shot again

Not even the same enemies

[arctic garnet]

What armor and food are you using?

[dusky anvil]

Troll Armor. Cooked Deer Meat, Deer Stew, Queen Jam

Troll armor is level 2 or 3

[arctic garnet]

Got enough cooking upgrades to make sausages? If not, maybe upgrading roasted deer meat to minced meat sauce might help

... it's only 5 more HP for the jump to minced meat sauce. hm

[dusky anvil]

Not there yet

[arctic garnet]

Probably need some iron for something and that's why you're in the crypt.
Consider swapping your troll hood for a bronze helmet. If you upgrade it to the same point, you're at 2 more armor than before. Maybe that'll make a difference. You'll lose the stealth bonus, but you get armor without sacrificing movement speed.
Got a cape?

[dusky anvil]

Full armor

[arctic garnet]

Roger. What gear are you normally using as well?

[dusky anvil]

Iron sword, bow, buckler +2

[arctic garnet]

Holding up block may be enough to block the arrows even as a buckler. Maybe. Perhaps. If you're not quite up to parrying the arrows. Dodge iframes might be helpful.

If you have enough iron, moving up to iron armor and maybe even just opting for a third health food may do something, but I'm grasping at options at this point if you're already using solidly upgraded gear

[dusky anvil]

That requires the buckler from my dead body

[arctic garnet]

right, true

[dusky anvil]

Got it back again anyways

[tough mulch]

root harnest, makes arrows irrelevant

[arctic garnet]

oooo

Fought an abomination yet? Those drop roots for root armor, and the root chest armor yields piercing resistance.

[dusky anvil]

Speak of the devil, guess who is waiting just outside of the crypt?

[tough mulch]

doordash armor lesgo

[dusky anvil]

He almost killed me

Parry came in clutch

Wait, you can parry arrows

[tough mulch]

yeah

its funny

[dusky anvil]

Noted

[hard sluice]

apparently, when you are getting close to the edge of the world, the wind always blows towards it, even with Moders power activated..! its scary ._.

[tough mulch]

After doing the maths I started a new playthrough with nomadic style going forward

Wish me luck

[lone rampart]

Luck!

[dusky anvil]

So, I got level 3 iron armor and equipment. Am I ready for the boss?

If not, what food should I have by now?

[hard sluice]

sausages, black soup, turnip seeds... and poison resist mead..!

[covert fox]

How can I contact with valheim developers

[tacit crystal]

Check https://irongate.se/contact

[dusky anvil]

I haven't gotten to mountains yet

Almost finished prepping for third boss

[hard sluice]

those are swamp tier food and meads

[dusky anvil]

Just googled how to make the food, and I don't have the means to make a level 2 cauldron

Needs either silver or ashwood

[hard sluice]

you may have missed the turnip

[dusky anvil]

No, I have turnips

I just apparently need a level 2 cauldron to make it

[hard sluice]

you need a spice rack

[dusky anvil]

Ahhh

[hard sluice]

mushroom, carrot, turnip, dandelion...whats the other...

[dusky anvil]

Thistles

Running low on those

And turnips are still growing

[hard sluice]

do you have a club/mace..? it helps. even a lvl 4 wooden club works

you can leeroy jenkins it, but that doesnt always end well in valheim

[idle storm]

why no serpent stew?

[dusky anvil]

Currently trying to make one level 2

[dusky anvil]

Because that requires killing a serpent. And if that's the creature I thought it was, you run from those, not try to fight solo in a ship

[idle storm]

... you haven't fought one yet, have you?

They're not all that challenging

[dusky anvil]

Ran away fron it because I was in the bronze ship and was looking for the trader guy

[hard sluice]

they are scarier than they are dangerous..

[idle storm]

they take like 2 or 3 minutes to kill a full health karve iirc and more than 7 for a longship

[hard sluice]

as long as you dont shoot your boat too much while fighting it

[glass edge]

Harpoon, drag onto land, chop chop

[dusky anvil]

Better safe than sorry

[idle storm]

You can comfortably kill a serpent with a finewood bow and a stack of wood arrows. Just take your time, line up your shots and don't panic and you'll be fine.
Not exactly a huge risk for the best hp food until Mistlands.

[sleek sky]

is the || odin || that spawns in the world just cosmetic lore stuff or does it do something?

[dusky anvil]

Do vegetables grow faster if you sleep through the night?

[nocturne wolf]

He doesn’t do anything

[candid basalt]

Jumpscares you

[honest shadow]

Looking to join 24/7 server

[foggy glacier]

You might find one in #1024264966712340510

[near furnace]

they don't grow faster, but you will get them faster since time accelerates when you sleep

[foggy glacier]

Do you know why vegetables grow according to in-game days but berries and other pickables are based on our hours?

[near furnace]

um unsure. I think both of them should work on ingame-days only 🤔

but might be 2 diffrent systems

[nocturne wolf]

the skiptime command made raspberries grow quicker but I had to reload them for them to respawn

[wary kettle]

I just killed the second boss and the swamp is kicking my butt lol. How do y’all deal with the leeches?

[candid basalt]

Stay out of the water. Use a hoe to make trails for safer travel

[lone rampart]

Stay on high ground until they’re dead

The good thing about leeches is they’re all too happy to swarm to your location. So you can usually wipe them out pretty quick before venturing deeper

[candid basalt]

When they gather use a sledgehammer on the ground near them, or other AoE attack

[echo plaza]

Or use your bow

[tacit crystal]

Poison resistance mead also helps against the poison damage.

[lone rampart]

Just be sure to drink it BEFORE taking poison damage

It’s a preventative, not a cure

[split adder]

why does wine give you flame resistance

its alcohol so it should be flammable

[tacit crystal]

It ignites your insides so you don't feel the burning outside.

[wary kettle]

Thanks guys! I’ll try to use the hoe more and I’ll make some of those anti poison meads

[split adder]

is there any good way to kill a gjall without ranged attacks

my draugr fang is basically useless

[chrome badge]

They have a weak spot on their underside belly area.

[split adder]

even shooting that i only do around 40-50 damage

[chrome badge]

What arrows are you using?

[split adder]

wooden

[chrome badge]

There's your problem. 😅

Gjall are weak to pierce, so 50 damage from a wooden arrow is a lot.

[timber marsh]

Hammertime

[timber marsh]

Poison arrows work

[lone rampart]

Honestly ANY arrows will get you much better results. Wooden arrows are for taking out seagulls around base for more feathers!

[timber marsh]

Until you can make a fire staff

[nocturne wolf]

poison damage doesn't stack so they're not good at all

they'll be better than wood arrows at least but much worse than later pierce options

[timber marsh]

And in the mistlands you can make the arbalest easy

[lone rampart]

[couldn't remember if that was modded or vanilla, it's vanilla] And once you explore Mistlands a bit more, you'll have carapace arrows for days

[pliant hatch]

If you go exploring a lot, you will find so many arrows, you most likely even don't have to craft any up to the point where you can craft Needle arrows.

[tough mulch]

too bad exploring doesnt give me bolts

[dusky anvil]

A little curious why we can't grow berries

[tough mulch]

no clue, its a recurring topic in suggestions

[thorn citrus]

mining copper is sooo annoying

[tough mulch]

true that

[thorn citrus]

why do we need so much bronze

[chrome badge]

It's meant to encourage foraging and add some utility to a biome outside of progression.

[light moat]

The short version is that they want to retain the foraging aspect of the game
#suggestions message

[tough mulch]

we dont need that much..

lets see here... about 17 bronze needed if you dont include cultivator

[light moat]

Wait until you need iron

[tough mulch]

to max out work benches and stuff

[dusky anvil]

Fait point

[tough mulch]

of course no gear and bronze weapon included since its better to skip straight to iron

[dusky anvil]

Also, iron isn't that bad because it is very close together and far less distractions in between trolls, bears, and whatever those things are

[thorn citrus]

no I'm talking about

[chrome badge]

Trolls can help you mine copper. 😄

[thorn citrus]

decoration

[tough mulch]

the problem with mining for bronze is that you also need to mine for tin and take time to smelt all of them and craft bronze

[thorn citrus]

two long ships full of iron

we're good for a moment, the base is almost finished iron wise

[dusky anvil]

So the iron age was only really long because I had to get so many new things

Armor, weapons, arrows, tools, crafting, etc

But finding the iron to begin with? Easy

[tough mulch]

I did le maths, 120 Iron for maxing out forge and stuff and including Iron axe and nails for furniture and boats

oh wait scratch that, 150 if I wanna get a iron battleaxe on top

[dusky anvil]

As well as 3 pieces of iron armor

[tough mulch]

nah I skip that

[dusky anvil]

Oh. And a sword/buckler. Plus the bow and arrows

[tough mulch]

abomination is too good and silver tier gear is just at the horizon

[shy marlin]

iron armor in the big 26

[tough mulch]

this doesnt include gear aside from the iron axe

[dusky anvil]

Troll armor was weak, even with upgrades

[tough mulch]

abomination armor ftw and bronze buckler is enough to parry even golems in the mountain with good HP food

skip bronze and Iron gear(except weapon) and just head straight for silver

well silver age gear I mean

[shy marlin]

yea if ur a heavy armor enjoyer honestly first set should be silver

the light/med sets in b.f/swamp are just too good

[tough mulch]

troll armor is also superior compared to bronze when upgraded, still falls off when you enter the iron age though

[light moat]

Early heavy armor enjoyers just wear it for the looks

[tough mulch]

the good thing about abomination set is that you dont need to enter crepts for it

can be farmed at bronze age when you get bronze axe

[green reef]

I get the bear set until the silver wolf armor

[split adder]

why are my events always the wolf one

[thorn citrus]

okay I just finished mining a full cart of copper

[split adder]

will the wolves help me clear this fuling village

[tough mulch]

thats some rng you have

[thorn citrus]

should be enough

[shy marlin]

yea, wolves and fulings are different factions

[split adder]

the lack of rested buff makes this game hard

no stamina

[thorn citrus]

yeah

go rest, make a shelter

an outpost, a portal, anything

[tough mulch]

campfire and press x to sit

[thorn citrus]

you can't play without rested buff

[tough mulch]

ngl, incorporating rested buff on furniture is a nice detail

now it not only looks good, but also serves a purpose

[paper marsh]

I mean its tough without ranged. You could jump off a cliff and try to hit it midair. A knife sneak attack can oneshot it

But more realistically, use a bow with some carapace arrows or throw a carapace spear at its belly

[thorn citrus]

jump mead + atgeir

[split adder]

does anyone know why a fuling shaman just dropped greydwarf stuff

does that happen when they go into a black forest or something

[paper marsh]

They drop bukeberries, that what you mean?

Seems like that's just a thing shamen like to carry around, whether in the BF or Plains

[split adder]

i mean the shaman dropped a greydwarf eye, resin, and a rock

[tough mulch]

Bukeberries has its uses so having a stack is a good idea

[gray sand]

Vomiting sniper build.

[tough mulch]

Pretty much what Id expect from a gredwarf

They usually drop a throphy as well

Oh and wood

Hmm fuling shaman and not greydwaf shaman?

[thorn citrus]

and now I have to cut the DOUBLE amount of wood than the copper I mined

;-;

[shy marlin]

hire a troll

[thorn citrus]

no it doesn't gives xp

[tribal wyvern]

It'll give dodge exp x)

[thorn citrus]

I'm gonna tell my lumberjack

to cut some for me

and if he doesn't

[paper marsh]

At least it’s faster than mining copper

[shy marlin]

Dodge exp is insanely hard to get tbh

[thorn citrus]

I'll kill him

[shy marlin]

i myself am quite the dodger, and I've only gotten to 20

[split adder]

dodging is overrated

[thorn citrus]

yeah, especially if you consider the fact that I'm not gonna do it

[split adder]

just take the hits with your face

[thorn citrus]

I only use the cloth

don't need dodge xp

[barren whale]

dodging skill doesn't even do anything if you're getting stam refunded

[gray sand]

Doesn't dodge skill influence how much stam is refunded?

[thorn citrus]

no

it makes dodges costs less stam

[gray sand]

Wiki doesn't have anything about the refund at all 😬

[barren whale]

oh neat dodging an attack only refunds half

so i guess skill does do something

[shy marlin]

nerf free parrying

[gray sand]

*remove

[thorn citrus]

remove parrying*

[barren whale]

parrying should return projectiles to sender
we breath of the wild now

[thorn citrus]

and

bluiding shouldn't divide your fps by 14 000

[split adder]

finally an event that isnt the wolves

there are too many skeletons though

[smoky saddle]

Nothing is more frustrating than wanting to place an item on an item frame, only for you to forget that you have a hammer equipped and you place the hammer on the frame instead

[tough mulch]

nah the most frustrating thing is not being able to place a dvger lantern on any type of Item frame

[smoky saddle]

Thats true. Theres a lot of items I wish we could place

[tough mulch]

its one of the best looking type of lighting in the game but for some reason its limited to only two types of build pieces that are not suitable for alot of build scenarios

[tough mulch]

wanted to try placing a fire arrow on it to turn it into a light source lol

[smoky saddle]

Torches too!

[tough mulch]

hmm arent there already wall torch pieces though

[green reef]

wow, mixed it up, went through the front door of a fortress

[smoky saddle]

Yes but im talking about the equippable ones

[vestal stirrup]

Never have crash problems until playing in coop. Hangs up randomly. Friend uses mods, I don't and I'm the host. Seems to be a unity crash. Any ideas?

im in the bronze age on my first play through would anyone like to join?

[tough mulch]

#1024264966712340510 try here

[flat stag]

I am craving a new playthrough of Valheim but I also would like to wait for 1.0, before I begin. Historically, have the devs changed earlier biomes a lot in previous big updates?

[fossil delta]

A lot, no. Just some. Mostly just a new mob.

[flat stag]

I ask, because I would regret starting before 1.0, if they improve earlier biomes a lot (when 1.0 comes out)

[fossil delta]

I've played around 50 times. Zero regrets.

[light moat]

Usually not a lot, but I like to start from the beginning once they drop a new biome. That’s just me though.

[flat stag]

I played a few times before, single player and multi player.

Waiting for 1.0, especially not knowing when it comes... it's just too much right now

[fossil delta]

For the last few years I have probably played as much as I have because I play Valheim with my wife. If I were only doing solo, probably not so much anymore.

[flat stag]

Last time I played was like 1 and half year ago. Did they add new stuff in early biomes? I heard there is a bear in BF now

[fossil delta]

Yep. Not much, but bears are one thing.

[flat stag]

But what other things have they added? Cosmetic stuff? Especially in Meadows, BF and Swamp

[fossil delta]

Not that comes to mind. Maybe improvements, since they are always looking to improve how the engine performs.

We now have a rock pet, that changes expressions, and says some advice.

[flat stag]

The nostalgia is pulling me in. That Meadows clarinet is one of them

[fossil delta]

Apparently music for the North is available to listen to. Haven't done it myself. I'd rather listen to it playing The North.

[flat stag]

Same!

[glossy locust]

Have there been any updates to when the ps5 version will drop?

[flat stag]

it was such a weird experience playing Valheim for the 1st time - probably the only game for me next to WoW Classic and Subnautica

[fossil delta]

I just enjoy being "in the world". So I just do another play through whenever I want, or my wife wants.

[flat stag]

A lot of child-like mysterious, adventurous vibes. I really miss that. I can't think of any game that does that

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I enjoy nearly the entire package. Only biome I have issues with is Ashlands.

[flat stag]

in what way?

[fossil delta]

Mostly that its frikkin ugly.

[flat stag]

hehe

[fossil delta]

Guess I got used to the world being beautiful.

[flat stag]

nothing beats the prettiness and the chill factor of meadows

i never played AL

[solar sedge]

So any chances we get a special word from the devs on Monday? With it being the 5 year anniversary maybe a pet stick for my pet rock?

[fossil delta]

I would not be surprised if they do something to celebrate, but I have seen no hints of one.

[lone rampart]

Rocky, go fetch! loads catapult

[fossil delta]

Maybe they will give rocky a song to sing when we pet him.

[green reef]

got Fader about 1/3rd dead before I screwed up on one of his specials.

[fossil delta]

The ground power?

I died twice fighting him, both times due to that power.

[silk token]

does that 1-shot you? or how much dmg does it do? i havent been hit by it yet

[fossil delta]

Its something you have to jump out of, and nothing counters it. Or reduces its damage. IE no meads or gear help you with it.

[silk token]

the flaming ring?

[fossil delta]

Whatever it is that he turns the ground into fire with.

[silk token]

the fire ring around you or there's the tracking flames that turn into spikes

[fossil delta]

Sounds like its what your calling the fire ring.

[silk token]

that move is cool cuz he combo's with it, i was just standing in it til he then took a big breath to breath his fire and i learned i can jump out lol. the fight is so cool

is it basically lava-speed damage?

[fossil delta]

It kills you fast.

[silk token]

if you're wearing flametal does it still? i wonder if its lava-related in some way

[fossil delta]

Nothing helps you. I had the Flametal Heavy armor, and fire mead going.

You just have to avoid it.

[tacit crystal]

Flametal armor grants resistance against the heat damage from lava/spicy water.

[fossil delta]

But not his attack.

[silk token]

right, so i wondered if fader's fire ring was related to that

just cuz it seemed to tick massively like lava

[split adder]

should i make a resounding shackle

[tacit crystal]

It's up to you. Personally I like it.

[fossil delta]

IF it helps, and I am pretty sure it does not, it might, maybe, buy you a couple of seconds.

Nothiing helps you to actually survive the entire attack. You will die in about 5 seconds, if you don't immediately get physically out of it.

[silk token]

oh you think it takes 5 whole seconds about? thats not bad i thought u meant faster

[fossil delta]

I was fighting and dying, I may be generous with the time frame.

[barren whale]

it does a shitload of fire damage

if you stand in it in godmode you can see ticks of up to like 2k

[fossil delta]

Well, that explains why resistances seem to be non existent, because, in effect, you may as well of not even used one.

[nocturne wolf]

each aoe does 120 fire damage per tick which with resistance and armor will be pretty small by that point in the game

[shy marlin]

just don't stand in bad 😎

[nocturne wolf]

but when multiple overlap and hit multiple ticks the damage can add up fast

[fossil delta]

So just avoiding it, getting out of it immediately, are the best survival options.

[barren whale]

you can stand in it a very short time to greed
wouldn't recommend over a second or two

it spawns under every player/friendly so you can manipulate it to not spawn around Fader, very relevant for melee kills

[silk token]

dang, ok i assumed it hurts as much as the game makes it look like it hurts. generally "dont stand in the fire" is a rule i've long learned from every video game so i havent yet

[fossil delta]

I wouldn't stand in it at all, you still need HP to survive everything else.

[silk token]

im just curious how much it did cuz last time i killed him i almost had to decide which attack to get hit with cuz he combo'd and cornered me like such a sneaky sneak

[nocturne wolf]

-# (they tick twice per second)

[fossil delta]

I've only killed him once. I'll get better with practice.

[shy marlin]

it's a good thing fader does so much damage with fissure how else could he die in 2 seconds 😏

[silk token]

ouch. so if you take fire damage from it you know you almost died XD

[flat stag]

Wanting to play solo. Cloud VS Local save? Any pros and cons?

[fossil delta]

I do cloud, but thats because I play on two devices.

[barren whale]

cloud = steam backups which is nice

[flat stag]

Ok thanks

Weird - the game didn't ask me for difficulty settings

[fossil delta]

I need to set up my new PC, so I need to save my folder to a thumb drive, to ensure ALL my old saves get carried over. Steam doesn't have all of them.

[paper marsh]

You gotta manually go into world settings if you wanna adjust them
