He does a lot less fire attacks if you go melee (AKA if you're close to him), and his melee attacks are more manageable

#

That said I do think magic is generally gonna be a lot safer

tardy crystal
#

hi guys whats w the new patch does it affect our current saves??

frozen void
#

Its one of my favorite fights, i killed him melee both times, didnt die

frozen void
tawny blaze
tardy crystal
#

i dont even know whats ptb, is this a good thing or bad thing

frozen void
#

Public test branch

#

Theres no new proper patch since like february

tardy crystal
#

devs are working give them a rest

tardy crystal

im just chillin in my smol wooden world no public things

#

I may face him again soon. Want to redo the fight and pay more attention, not get greedy with attacks

tardy crystal
#

how hard is the late game bosses

tawny blaze
tardy crystal
#

im getting destroyed by abominations

heavy moss
#

What are you using to fight them?

frozen void
paper marsh
tawny blaze
tardy crystal
#

i recently created my first abomination armor set hope it helps i need to upgrade the armor a bit tbh

frozen void
tardy crystal
#

but wheres the fun in that

#

i need to die like 13 times

tawny blaze
#

Abominations taught me to love the parry

tardy crystal
#

lol same

frozen void
#

Wheres the fun in mogging a root monster?

tawny blaze
#

Its pretty satisfying once you get it down

silk token
tardy crystal
#

waiiit i never seen the 4th boss is it something related to abominations??

frozen void
#

No lol

tardy crystal
#

i mean the 3th boss after the elder

heavy moss
#

That one looks like a giant slime.

frozen void
#

Ah, not really

#

Abominations were added later

tardy crystal
#

didnt knew that

frozen void
tardy crystal
#

its ok

heavy moss
#

Should root harnesks get nerfed?

tardy crystal
#

do u guys use the elder buffs?? i never use it

frozen void
#

I use it on my tree farm

paper marsh
#

Eikthyr power feels so good, throughout the entire game

silk token
#

abomination style boss would be sick though, current boss is kind of meh.😒

tardy crystal
#

yea thats what im sayin

heavy moss
#

I wear them all the way through Ashlands. And I feel like giving a single piece of armor a 50% resist is so OP with how damage calculation works at the moment that it removes all incentive to wear anything else.

frozen void
#

I havent played early game since it changed but im sure its nice in swamps

tardy crystal
#

eikthyr is kinda op

#

swamps is worse than hell hope i leave soon

#

ur wet everyyy time and monsters jump on u instantly

#

but its fun i guess

dim python

#

elder and bonemass both are meh

#

abominations are better than The Elder

I kind of like Elder, it's a good step up from Eikthyr.

# dim python valheim² when

Deep north ending:
Odin: “So. great work, uhm. i never told anyone about the ELEVENTH world…… it’s a mess.”

heavy moss
#

Also, it's kind of weird that a 3rd tier armor set has both poison and pierce resist and it just.... doesn't show up anymore for the next 4 biomes.

silk token
dim python
#

is odin going to descend from the skies on a rainbow to test our mettle in the deep north 🌈

tacit crystal
heavy moss
#

Oh resists on equipment.

#

I guess other than the golem trinket.

tacit crystal
#

Hmm ah, yeah.

#

Fenris set provides fire resistance tho.

heavy moss
#

Yeah, but Barley Wine is so easy to make.

paper marsh
#

Same with poison resist

frozen void
#

The poison resistance is weaker than the mead

heavy moss
#

Yeah, and it's better than what the helmet gives.

tacit crystal
#

Resistances on gear is convenient tho.

paper marsh
#

I like playing without the resistance meads, paying attention to the gear resistances is a lot more fun for me

frozen void
#

But yeah they went a bit overboard with the root set

dim python
#

power creep

heavy moss
#

It's really the root harnesk that stands out to me the most as being OP.

#

It just seems a little out of place.

tacit crystal
#

It has the fire weakness, but yeah it is easy to pop up the fire barley wine to cancel that.

paper marsh
heavy moss
#

The serpent shield seems like a much better implementation. It's a tower shield type, it's bulky, only works when you're holding it up and is annoying to build.

#

That's about what I'd expect for something that reduces incoming damage by 50% before armor calculation.

silk token
#

all towers have some pierce resistance when?

frozen void
heavy moss
#

Not unless they changed how things work recently.

#

Resistances don't stack, only take the highest one.

#

And it negates weaknesses too. So barley wine not only negates the weakness to fire on the root harnesk, it gives you the standard 50% resist you get from the potion.

paper marsh
#

Root harnesk and serpent shield specifically do stack. Because shield block and armor is calculated seperately

heavy moss
#

Oooh.

paper marsh
#

So shield applies resistance, then applies block

Leftover armor hits player, applying resistance, then armor

heavy moss
#

I did not know that.

silk token
#

yeah, not stack necessarily but both count in the process of the maths

frozen void
#

Yep

paper marsh
#

Not that I think it matters much. By the time you've blocked with serpent shield, there's not much damage left to be halved by harnesk

heavy moss
#

That honestly makes a lot more sense to me, to have pierce resist apply to things like shields.

#

That have a more active component.

mild mason
#

You can also get the Wet debuff to cancel out the Weakness to Fire Rocky

frozen void
heavy moss
#

I think that's the main thing I don't like about the root harnesk, it trivializes whole swaths of enemy classes.

#

I used to be terrified of mosquitoes and the spear fulings were the worst of the lot.

#

After root harnesk, meh.

paper marsh
tacit crystal
#

Uff, it was first time I actually did this but managed to kill serpent on ocean without bow or crossbow and managed to get the trophy and part of the scales it dropped with my jump shot strat.

heavy moss
#

What is a jump shot strat?

light moat
#

One of us! One of us!

heavy moss
#

Do you jump at it and throw a spear at it or something?

tacit crystal
#

Jumping on the serpent and shooting the last shot on air which should kill it.

glad sundial
paper marsh
tacit crystal
#

I usually do it with bows but in this playthrough I have not used bows at all.

tacit crystal
paper marsh
#

I've also considered doing that with a knife secondary. Would feel cinematic planting the knife in the middle of it's forehead

heavy moss
#

Yesss, I love no bow runs.

paper marsh
tacit crystal
#

Not a single spear has been lost even in mountains lol.

heavy moss
#

I once threw a spear out the window of a sealed tower.

#

And I had to go retrieve it in the middle of the ocean.

#

I was really surprised I actually managed to find it.

tacit crystal
#

One of the biggest ups is that they float. So it is easy to retrieve after a throw at serpent.

prime moth
#

i guess this run i'll commit to spear gaang

#

i've been wanting to try it

heavy moss
#

Haha, a little before my current run, I played a game where a group of builder/admins were doing everything they could to delay people from pushing content.

#

One of the things they did was breaking bows so arrows just... floated in the air, and stopped working entirely.

#

And then they refused to fix it. 😄

#

And I'm like, "Yeah, we do that to ourselves just for funsies, that's not going to stop anything."

tacit crystal
#

I once did a run using only 2h melee weapons and spear for only ranged.

#

2h meaning weapons held by 2 hands, excluding dual wielded.

heavy moss
#

They did introduce me to the CreatureLevelAndLootControl(?) mod though, and I'm loving that.

#

Having star levels on things that don't normally have any is new and I died more times in that game than I did the entire previous year.

tacit crystal
#

Would be terrifying if viles could have stars.

heavy moss
#

Ooh. Hold on, I got a screenshot of a 4 star vile that has a modifier to move 40% faster.

#

That was a FUN fight. How do I upload this thing.

tacit crystal
heavy moss
#

Okay, I was wrong. It was a three star.

#

The purple ones move faster. That definitely changed the fight a lot from how you would usually approach the thing. Especially since it could just one shot me if it touched me.

#

I couldn't bring myself to use a torch to cheese it so I did the fight straight.

tacit crystal
heavy moss
#

Whoops. Should I delete it?

tacit crystal
heavy moss
#

Okay, done.

#

But yeah, I really like that mod. I've gotten killed by things like 5 star wolves, 4 star fire infused deathsquitoes.

#

On the lower end, getting killed by a 2 star blob from full hp because I didn't check before I let it hit me without poison resist up etc.

#

Another really fun one was a 4 star splitting seeker soldier. Every time you kill it it splits into two weaker copies. One four star split into two 2 stars, which split into four 1 stars, which split into eight normal ones.

Do we get any calendula to keep deathsquitos away?

Ive been running some iron iron armour. But im wondering if it was a best idea to do it.

I am very much slower.
But I expected that
Something I didnt notice would happen was that all the reduced inventory space I have now from the weight taken up by the armour.

u can go there by going to the top of the map

but its empty

granite grail
#

I'm undecided. I need mid-late game base. I found a nice continent with Plains, Swamps, Black Forest, and Mountain. I have been itching for a nice base in the black forest. I found a nice, open, pretty smooth spot that I'm loving. But I also think I should have my base in the Plains. This black forest spot is a skip and a jump from a Plains village I cleared out so techncially it wouldn't be a problem since they're close. But I can't decide 😔

Now your gunna have to collect 20,000 stone to actually build anything. Lol

haughty wolf
#

has there been any updates for Valheim recently. struggling to find anything to play right now and i was thinking of starting up a new go

steady widget
#

no, probably valheim will end early access late this year (my GUESS)

final bloom
dull warren
#

A no food run, perhaps. SHould be easy enough.

final bloom
#

Seeing how far u can get without dying is always fun.

cold ocean
#

There's no way to protect a base near the ocean, huh?

#

those greylings can just swim around obstacles

steady widget
#

anti-spawn like torches with wood around them help, but air raids can still hit you

glad sundial
static ruin
cold ocean
#

but I did finally figure out how to protect the base, and just in time because a blue troll was trying to attack my base, but I had raised earthen walls on the beachfront adjacent to my base

tranquil sorrel
#

Did you use crafting tables or campfires to stop enemies spawns in your base?

cold ocean
#

enemy spawns in base?

#

I haven't had that happen to me yet

tranquil sorrel
#

Oh

cold ocean
#

I have torches at my main base

#

and at my seaside base

#

also at my secondary base in the meadows adjacent to part of the Black Forest

#

lol

#

I did put up campfires when digging the moat at my seaside base when I was digging at night

tranquil sorrel
#

Torches are good too. Did you put them inside a core wood pole to give them extra protection

cold ocean
#

no

tranquil sorrel
#

I only learnt this tip not that long ago

cold ocean
#

my torches are behind the moat perimeter at two of my bases

#

i just built a raft because finding tin ore on the shore in Black Forest areas takes a long time by foot

tranquil sorrel
#

I just finished my pier and getting ready for a Tin run 😅

#

I've gotta do a lot of prep. Get as much upgrades for bronze as possible. Farms, Fermenter, Boar farm

#

So far haven't left base to go fight the elder 😆

steady widget
tranquil sorrel
#

So their Crafting tables, Camp fires and Torches inside poles for extra protection. Do they have different radius to stop enemy spawns. I think I'm gonna do a mixture

steady widget
#

yes, but the radius is based on the torches/workbenches. So putting torches inside any type of pole makes them invisible. Or putting workbenches inside palisades does the same thing.

tranquil sorrel
steady widget
#

It prevents against raid creatures spawning, yes, but I'm not sure against how air raids spawn.

tranquil sorrel
#

Air raids 👀

#

Ah wait like flying mobs

steady widget
#

i think torches etc are circlular, so they can spawn ABOVE

tranquil sorrel
#

Ah gottcha. Main base is in the meadows so as far as I know no flying mobs there

steady widget
#

until you go mountains. then drakes and bats

#

raids spawn based on where you've been, not what biome you're currently in

tranquil sorrel
#

Haven't made it to the mountains yet 😅 still gearing up to go to swamp.

steady widget
#

okay, you're fine, and mostly if a raid happens you can fight whatever as long as you're eating food

tranquil sorrel
#

Love the times rotation in valheim.
Build,
Prep,
Adventure,
Upgrade,
Build,

Etc etc 🤣

steady widget
#

You're probably fine fighting a raid as long as you can deal with whatever biome you're going into

#

honestly, if ou've figured out how to deal with troll raids, you should be ok

glad sundial
#

your gonna need some carrot soup to take on the Elder

tranquil sorrel
#

Just gotta grow and hunt dear ScreamingDeer

glad sundial
#

when you get a chance gather some core wood from pine trees,.. nice and sturdy with a rustic look

tranquil sorrel
opal prairie
#

Also great to make corewood candles with for spawn prevention.

tranquil sorrel
#

Thing is my first base was a shack and then done some exploring and found the ideal place in the meadows. Quite big so I can do the boarder around it but I'm thinking they could spawn inside my (village) main base so hopefully I can cover the whole place

I know but when I read Eldar I get warhammer 40k vibes.
Murder them all, kill all that he protects in front of it and then give it the sweet release of death.

high coral
#

like in those wacky bar fights

opal prairie
#

I am so grateful that the seed viewer exists.
I don't have all that much time to game, so spending a whole lot of time exploring the world to find a good spot to set up a base, look for the vendors, scout for boss altars, dungeons and the like isn't always as fun as fighting, dungeon delving, crafting and farming.
So if I get tired of exploring I at least have a fall back to ease that.

high coral
#

i don't feel like spending more time doing exploration than the actions above

#

if Eik altar was at water it would be just the sweet spot. Camp there and make a base, be done with it

wheat peak
#

I feel like vintage story inadvertently trained for the more tedious parts of the game unintentionally
Ive mastered the art of wandering around aimlessly

high coral
#

i suppose that this changes a lot with more people where the exploration part is divided among them

wheat peak
#

Id imagine so

high coral
#

one issue that i have with procedurally generated world is that it doesn't feel 'real' to me

#

i don't see a reason to go around that corner to see a captivating vista that wasn't handcrafted by an artist anymore

#

that is, given that it's all just generated

wheat peak
#

Thats a really interesting perspective

opal prairie
# high coral i suppose that this changes a lot with more people where the exploration part is...

Certainly and also the amount of playthroughs you have had.
For the first playthrough I always advice not looking anything up and just play the game and only ask questions or lookup when your are stuck for a few days on what to do.
I've got a few playthroughs under my belt and I don't care for the exploration in my solo playthrough now, so I do lookup the map and see where I should be going.

When deep north and later on 1.0 hits I'll probably play with at least 1 person again and then the rules change ofcourse, no using the seedviewer unless you all agree.
Same with the devcommands I use fly for building since I don't care to fall to my death or building decent scaffolding.
With more players can only do that if everyone agrees.

high coral
#

i find new biomes that i wasn't at yet interesting, so that's something new when exploring but not finding 20th black forest

wheat peak
#

Man swamps is really dreary
I get chills just sailing through it

heavy moss
#

I tried to get into Vintage story because I do enjoy the grind and unlimited building, but I just can't get over the minecraft style combat.

#

I want it to feel a little weightier.

wheat peak
#

Lol fair

granite grail
#

I would never dare look at my map lol. For me, exploring and discovering new continents coast to coast is one of my favorite parts. I'd rather be sailing and finding fresh territory than fighting in a dungeon. I love the building and exploration aspects most. If I knew my map, it would suck all the life and joy out of playing for me

Combat is pretty underbaked

high coral

Good god stam regen is really really slow

opal prairie

#

I thought it would scale with how big your bar is

high coral

It does, but other things affect it more. Like rest bonus, not having negative modifiers like cold, wet etc.

#

Are you jumping or running a lot? Or holding block?

high coral

#

Depends on the food you eat.

#

Different foods have different stamina regen/HP regen stats.

wheat peak
#

Yeah i noticed
Theres health regen tick and stam tick as stats for food

high coral
wheat peak
#

Shouldve paid attention to that a little more

heavy moss
#

Weird. It should be on the bottom.

#

I've been playing with mods recently so I'm not sure if that's a base game thing. Lemme check.

not in game right now but this is what i recall and why i ask, if i missed it completely in the description then shame on me ig

oh so battleaxe also has no multi target penalty

heavy moss

#

if slash weapon like battleaxe has slash and chop listend in wiki for primary attack, what does the chop means there

heavy moss

damage you do to buildings/trees etc.

high coral

#

Do traders restock

high coral
#

pretty big stagger there on secondary

opal prairie
# wheat peak Do traders restock

You can keep buying the same things over and over they won't run out and certain triggers like killing a boss add extra items to their inventory you can buy.

heavy moss
#

Oh, fun detail for later. You as a character are immune to chop or pickaxe damage.

wheat peak
#

Ah
btw if you’re lighter does stam drain slower/regen faster?

heavy moss
#

But your blood magic protective shield is not.

#

So things like Morgen roll that does 50 blunt and 100 chop and 100 pickaxe will only do 50 blunt to you if it hits, but if it's hitting your shield will do the full 250 damage.

opal prairie
wheat peak
#

Fun

high coral
#

swords seem like the most versatile weapons, good reach, damage, damage type

heavy moss
#

I almost always fall into maining a spear up until Mistlands when almost everything is resistant to pure physical damage.

#

The versatility of being able to throw to initiate is a tough one to give up.

opal prairie
#

There is also a sword in every biome if I'm not mistaken, so you will always have an upgrade.
I prefer the knife though for the lunge attack and the fast attack speed.

heavy moss
#

Unless I'm playing with other folks. Then that style gets a lil messy cause they can pick up the spear before you do.

#

I think spear and daggers have the same attack window.

#

If you can get 4 swings off in between attacks with a dagger, you can do the same with a spear.

#

Spears used to be way worse when attacking with elevation differences, but they fixed that, thankfully.

opal prairie
#

Yeah the knife is quite fast and you can get an abyssal razor the moment you have a karve and that will easily last you till the mountains.

Most of the times I do main bow and knife + buckler as backup.
Sometimes I'll also use a mace / frostner.

high coral
heavy moss
#

What weapon type do you like/use the least?

high coral
#

sword is quite expensive to craft and bow/knife are pretty cheap in that regard. Silver spear pretty cheap as well

tacit crystal
high coral
#

i should give big hammers a try

heavy moss
#

Yeah. That's gotta be the one for me too.

#

It's just very one note.

opal prairie
heavy moss
#

I think I just use it to look for silver.

frozen void
#

i have never used an atgeir in over 2k hours of gameplay, so probably that

high coral
#

atgeir with the reach is without competition

heavy moss
#

It'd be cool if sledge types had a light combo instead of the one and done slam.

nocturne wolf
#

sledges should keep their primary attack and get an even stronger secondary

high coral
#

sledge weapons are in a weird spot

dull kelp
#

im trying every play through to go anything other than atgeir. its to op

heavy moss
#

I'd love to see something like the ones from No Rest for the Wicked. A one two three with the third hit being the slam that bounces enemies back.

paper marsh
# heavy moss Different foods have different stamina regen/HP regen stats.

Stamina regen isn't dependent on the specific food, but kind of dependent on total stamina. It's dependent on how much stamina you currently have (the more depleted your bar is, the faster you regen).

If you have 0 stamina you regen fast, if you have 90% of your stamina bar filled you regen slow.

Having a bigger stamina bar effectively makes the regen faster

nocturne wolf
#

it would be nice if stamina food could increase it a little, it can feel so slow in later biomes

heavy moss
#

There's a lingering stamina potion you can get around mistlands level.

paper marsh
heavy moss
high coral
#

how high do you manage to level your weapons skills as you progress?

heavy moss
#

Depends what I'm doing and what kind of run I'm going for, but if I am doing some challenge type thing, especially if I'm doing a hardcore run, I max bows right from the get go.

frozen void
#

My sword is hovering around 40-50 atm at max progress

heavy moss
#

I'll chop down the entire forest around the starting area the moment I have a TWIG up and go straight to 100.

#

Bows are ridiculously OP when it's 90+.

high coral
#

that's gonna take a while shooting at it

heavy moss
#

Yeah, but you kill a troll with 4 wood arrows with a finewood bow.

#

In 5 seconds.

#

You get so much damage output that a single troll raid you can kill 7~8 trolls.

#

Cause you drop them almost as fast as they spawn.

high coral
#

well trolls aren't hard to kill with any pierce weapon to begin with

heavy moss
#

I play modded so even things like golems have star levels.

#

I killed 3 star regen golems with a bow in the middle of a Moder fight.

#

I actually had to ask the other guy doing the raid with me to leave for a bit because him being there increased the golem HP enough that I couldn't outdamage the regen.

#

Bows are stupidly OP.

nocturne wolf
#

or is only the bow strong enough

heavy moss
#

That's the thing. He was trying to melee, and a star golem kills you in 1 hit. No matter what.

nocturne wolf
#

only an issue if you get hit

heavy moss
#

That means he need to always dodge roll, which gets in the way of hitting things.

#

Cause you can't just be hitting things nonstop.

#

Extra distance means I don't have to spend time dodging, and bows at a 100 skill take a fraction of the stamina cost of any other weapon.

#

Same gear level, you can get off about 3~5x hits over other weapon types.

#

Before you run out of stamina.

high coral
#

doesn't seem to be a good balance there

heavy moss
#

It's not.

#

Did I mention they also have 2x the adrenaline generation?

high coral
#

scaling is too generous

wheat peak
#

I asked a few days ago if theres any evil ass fish/leviathan
the response was no
i was lied to

heavy moss
#

And the surtling only costs 60 adrenaline and gives you 50 stamina and 10% movement speed.

#

30 arrows take you 30 seconds with max bow skill, so if you're hitting from full stamina by the time you run low on stamina you get one free boost so you can fire another dozen arrows before having to stop.

#

I think devs really like bows. 😛

tardy peak
#

Pro bow salesman at work lol

high coral
#

or it might be there to give people not seeking a challenge something easy to use

heavy moss
#

Yep. Bows get stupid right around a 80~85 skill level.

high coral
#

that being said bows don't feel OP if training naturally to me

heavy moss
#

And there's gear and trinkets that push it past a 100 too.

#

It also trains ridiculously fast.

#

Because you only have to log hits to get the exp, so you can just sit in front of a target, spam click and it takes a tiny fraction of stamina that pulling normally would cost.

#

And they went and added a target too where you get your arrows back if you don't want to chop trees and are okay with just training a little slower.

nocturne wolf
heavy moss
#

I checked. It increases damage.

#

Going past a 100. You don't really increase speed because I think you already hit max around 95, but I did see the damage numbers go up.

high coral
#

fenris gear with the rippers looks badass

analog hearth
# heavy moss Bows are stupidly OP.

should I train my bow skills to high levels before I can make use of it? I keep on running out of stamina with all the charging up and running to keep distance from target... My damage is abysmal compared to my friends who either tank or pew pew magic
I feel like I have been using them wrong... I never get enough adrenaline to activate wolf sight even

dim python
heavy moss
#

Bows at very low levels are mainly used for hunting.

paper marsh
heavy moss
#

It's just not great at killing things, unless you absolutely want to keep your distance.

#

As for if you 'should' level it up, I don't think so? At least not until you have a chance to try everything else out too organically.

#

I only do it in specific situations and to break it out as a backup in a hardcore run.

#

Or if I'm doing something like a no boss run, and I am in Ashlands with mountain gear.

When I'm playing vanilla I like to do VH Hardcore challenges.

I played a lot of VH, didn't particularly like the balance

Felt better to me on hard with my own rules for balancing / banning some OP or cheesy things

Valheim's Hardcore is cool but it feels like a half-measure to me. I like the adrenaline of really not being allowed to die, so I do self-imposed permadeath

Damn, you guys are crazy haha I was thinking a casual, relaxed gameplay this time.

heavy moss

I think that's another good way to go. I like to play modded too.

fallen ore
# lime condor more storage slots on ships would be nice too.

Maybe the ability to expand storage by having some way of lashing a few storage crates would work. So you have so much storage in the bilges, and then you can lash some storage on the deck. Maybe by losing some seating spaces. If you are playing solo it's not too much of an issue, when you have a team of vikings some of them might have to hold on to the mast instead of comfortably sitting down, but that's fun too

#

To make it more realistic, if you are sailing in stormy weather you must stay at low speeds or you risk losing your cargo on deck.

idk if Valheim's really a game where you'd want to be at low HP at all

frozen void

You can combjne bloodstone with staff of protection to drain hp and still be safe

But since the formula for damage gain is based on hp missing, not a percentage. Mages get a smaller benefit from doing so.

I was fighting Fader yesterday and a combination of a few Staff of the Wild's with Jade in weapons is absolutely insane, Fader simply doesn't move

as in, benefit wise the other two clear imo

Think it's around 20% for every 100 hp missing.

idk, maybe I'm just not utilizing it well

But yeah ive only used iolite

heavy moss

Given how situational it is, all the extra stuff you have to do to maintain it (it's not like Path of Exile where low HP builds can lock their HP at a certain level) it just feels like a lot of work for what amounts to a pretty negligible benefit.

building landmarks or using natural ones to guide you

# snow aurora How do you do it

Find a body of water that you have bait to fish in, left-click to toss the line like 2-3 meters while standing on the karve boat, then sit down as if to steer the boat. You can fish and drive boat at the same time
The benefits are that you can catch fish, while moving, while only at 2m line, so it barely uses stamina, and if you press e on the fish fast enough, doesn't even consume the bait (sit back down) [oh and you can slow down the boat to hover schools more effectively]

but i dont think someone got 100% of the map by exploring it

tardy peak
snow aurora
#

How long would it take to walk around every single island lol

serene talon
#

weeks, months?

#

then still one would have to explore the entire ocean

#

and im wrong i found a guy on reddit who is missing only small parts

#

4 years ago so he surely already has it

#

where does the term fog of war come from?

#

i've seen it used on other games community maps as well and was wondering why it is called that

paper marsh
#

No idea

tardy peak
#

I suspect it's a military term, but dunno. I've seen it used in RTS games since forever

serene talon
#

ah so i looked into it and apparently it is (or was) a military term for the lack intelligence about the enemy, and in games it refers to the same thing where there is like a cloud covering the parts of a map where you have no troops

Do you guys have a main banner color? Mine is green.

Soldier squared

prime moth
#

a 1 star at that

#

was this on the beta?

prime moth
#

idk i just saw it on youtube passively

silk token
#

i would not do a hardcore game ptb right now lol, 7 of a thing suddenly splitting off

frozen void
#

I just checked it

#

I think 1 star seeker inside soldier

#

Let me just kill Moder this'll be eas- Timmy's eyes lit up with wonder, as the Drake Mommy in front of him split by way of mitosis into 2, no 3, no SEVEN Drakes, all focusing their icy breath on him, turning him into a popcicle

frozen void
#

Jakk's playthroughs are fun to watch

#

His hardcore permadeath nomap run was quite the adventure

#

9 videos each 2 hours

#

Or 8 vids

#

Not true permadeath but his character reset skills and inventory on death, but he only died a couple times

paper marsh
#

So Valheim hardcore yea, still impressive

#

Imma try permadeath on Deep North launch, but if I die far into it imma just keep going

neon steppe
#

so it's only permadeath run if it's success and nor permadeath run if you die? 😆

#

i guess all my dark souls saves start as no hit runs then

silk token
#

i can only find a snazzy video where he runs from a lone 2 star skeleton then fails 2 out of 3 dodge rolls to a lone troll and dies XD and says “maybe im washed up”

prime moth
#

oh i thought die + delete meant permadeath lol

neon steppe
#

yeah that's how permadeath runs work

prime moth
#

sorry i didnt read the whole text chain, y'all are talkin about 2 different runs

silk token
#

imo permadeath equals character and world deleted

prime moth
#

same

#

yeah so it was streamed on snazz channel a day ago

#

speaking of scary trolls i just found a 2 star in a cave

frozen void
#

Yeah you have to go to live section not videos

silk token
#

oh ok, i dont really watch his stuff, its either dying to a single troll or clickbait nonsense calling vile claws trash

prime moth
#

i just saw permadeath run and wanted to see

neon steppe
#

i've got 700+ hrs in valheim and just today i saw 2 star gjall for the first time hugin_freeze

prime moth
#

i hope to never see that

frozen void
#

I think ive only seen 1 star

neon steppe
#

i don't think i've ever seen 1 star before

#

i didn't know they had stars until i saw the 2 star

frozen void
#

Yeah they spawn at night in the middle of big mistlands i think

neon steppe
#

yeah it was close to queen so middle of pretty big mistlands

silk token
#

ohhh snap i found it ya thats lame, soldiers in stairwells are broken, i hate when that happens, never seem them inside each other like that

paper marsh
#

Usually I delete my runs when I die

But kinda wanna get to deep north and might play with a friend, so think for that run I’ll just try to go deathless, but if not it’s okay

frozen void
#

I am far too casual

heavy moss
#

I wouldn't mind them adding star levels to more things to keep folks on their toes.

neon steppe
#

i've seen alot of skeletons in burial chambers bugged inside rock in the stair room in this current run

#

is that the same stairs?

silk token
frozen void
#

Played on a 0.5 resources, nomap no teleport hardcore all liss death server. I lasted about an hour

heavy moss
#

I feel like drakes definitely would be a lot more fun with star levels.

silk token
#

and its kind of turned into my nee forever world cuz i like the base so much

heavy moss
#

They just never do enough damage to be more than a minor annoyance since you wouldn't be up there without frost resist anyway.

neon steppe
#

worst thing about drakes - their sound 🤮

frozen void
#

Worst thing is the raid and them killing your tames

neon steppe
#

listening some audiobook, doing some chill silver mining and all of a sudden my ears bleed

heavy moss
#

It'd be kind of cool to have a flying equivalent of a Greydwarf Brute.

#

Just a big one where when you look at it you just know that one's gonna be a problem.

neon steppe
#

i've started to keep wolves and chicken inside my base house and pigs have their own hog house that drakes can't access

#

it's annoying how much wolves and chicken love to gather in the stairs thought lol

#

i just wanna slaughter them sometimes, blocking me from moving

heavy moss
#

I like to put them in a meadows farm.

#

Not as efficient, but I treat it like a roleplaying session, visit to the country farm, feed some chickens, do some gardening, pet the dogs hanging out at the perimeter etc.

neon steppe
#

would be nice if tames would grow breed even if you aren't babysitting next to them

#

would make sense to keep lox in your plains farm, pigs in your meadow farm etc.

frozen void
#

They do grow? Just not breed

heavy moss
#

I've taken to planting insane amounts of carrots and turnip flowers to make flower fields outside too.

neon steppe
#

yeah meant breed sorry

frozen void
#

I like to have two wolves follow me around the base, fed. So they drop pups everywhere

heavy moss
#

Haha, I do that too. Also... why do baby chicks push you around and hens don't?

prime moth
#

oh its a 2 star log troll too

#

i was gonna attempt killing it with the atgir i have now.... but naw fuck that 😂

heavy moss
#

It's weird when I'm trying to craft, and start moving, and look down, a little six inch baby chick is pushing me along the floor going, "Git out of my way."

#

Has anyone come across a lox breeder setup? I’ve made a wolf one where they drop more then 10m into a pit

regal cave
#

I tried one in pine trees yesterday posted in screen shots, they wont eat 🙁

neon steppe
#

i once saw one in my recommended videos but can't be bothered with breeder setups personally

regal cave
#

The small aninal breeders are very easy

neon steppe
#

i just like to keep it more "RP friendly" or something

frozen void
#

I think i saw a lox breeder ages ago on a mountain side

#

But i bred 30 or so lox by maneuvering them in pairs in the plains using the saddle

neon steppe
#

wild lox are so easy to farm for meat i just keep couple of lox as pets, never really breed them

paper marsh
heavy moss
#

You run around up there with campfires trying to get puppies before you get out of the meadows, don't you.

#

I know your type, I bet you go to to animal rescues to pet animals on your free time too, you dang... animal lover person.

and then when a storm hits and your fire blows out thats awesome survival flavor

#

Just got home from work. I unlocked iron and stonecutter last night, and am now investigating strategies to build the best bases, safe from Trolls.

paper marsh
#

Mmm, troll proof base is a safe base

Let us know if you want any help coming up with ideas

heavy moss
#

Ooh, that's actually a great idea for a challenge run.

#

No potion run would make mountains a whole thing until you can craft resistance armor.

#

Have to actually be afraid of oozes and leeches, wearing feather cape/harnesk actually poses some real downsides etc.

silk token
heavy moss
#

I need to write this down somewhere so I don't forget. The gummy is hitting and I want to remember to try this.

#

And I'm usually a potion junkie, forcing myself to actually have to do more stamina management would be a fun run.

regal cave
paper marsh
#

The two challenges I do I feel most comfortable recommending to others is 1) No Resistance Meads / No Potions, and 2) Swapping weapon category every biome

silk token
heavy moss
#

Doesn't freezing also have a huge stamina regen debuff?

#

Especially having to fight wolves, you let that get too low and you're just dead. I like it.

plucky hinge
silk token
heavy moss
#

Lol, fair. I guess it makes more sense than parrying costing more stamina than blocking.

silk token

heavy moss
#

I don't think that's an uncommon sentiment. 😛

#

I think trolls are the first place you see a divergence in the different types of Valheim players.

#

There's ones that get bonked a few times and then run at em again determined to learn how to not get bonked.

#

Then there's the other type that goes, "I could just avoid this altogether with a bow."

plucky hinge
#

I do like to plunk away from a distance with fire arrows.

#

Ooh, should I craft a Huntsman Bow first?

heavy moss
#

Depends, do you have enough iron to upgrade it right away?

plucky hinge
#

Maybe. I have 51 ingots.

heavy moss
#

Do you have anything else you could use it for?

#

Say like an iron helmet

plucky hinge
#

Probably. I'm fresh from the bronze age.

heavy moss
#

Or an iron buckler etc.

plucky hinge
#

Should I be prioritising a helmet and buckler for protection from squishing?

heavy moss
#

Finewood bow holds up fine and is comparable to hunstman before it's upgraded.

wraith belfry
#

Isnt the huntsmen bow one.of the best bows. Because of how small its noise radius is?

heavy moss
#

I usually always start with buckler first.

#

So I can parry more things. Then whatever weapon I mainly use, then the helmet after that. But everyone has their own thing.

plucky hinge
#

Whatever I get needs to be helpful for crypt hunting for more iron and surviving the overland journey to my smeltery.

heavy moss
#

Ooh, build that right there in the middle of the crypts.

#

You go in the swamp, put some raised earth walls in the middle of a crypt area, then just smelt everything and build it right there.

wraith belfry
#

Lol
Doesn't really matter where it goes
Even after you smelt your iron you cant carry the bars through a portal.

heavy moss
#

You can carry anything you make out though.

#

And you can just teleport in any other material you use.

plucky hinge
#

Ah.

#

And then when that crypt is empty?

#

Destroy and rebuild on the next one?

heavy moss
#

I set up shop around 3~4 usually.

#

And yeah, if you need to. But most of the time 3~4 is enough to make Swamp feel a lot nicer.

plucky hinge
#

Oof. I'm terrible at temp camps, though. I always want them all to be amazingly perfect. heh

heavy moss
#

A temp camp is still your camp. I'd spend the time making it look nice.

#

I spend an inordinate amount of time making nice roads and bridges.

#

I don't spend all day looking at em, but it's nice, and sometimes you just want a chill thing to do while looking at nice scenery.

#

I like to have on the planteverything mod just so I can make mushroom/thistle roads in the swamp.

wraith belfry
heavy moss
#

I decorate it like one of those Christmas neighborhoods.

wraith belfry
#

I usually just run back and forth between the crypts abd my ship.
Then when the ship is full sail it all home.

heavy moss
#

Yeah, I usually make the camp big enough to support a proper kitchen and everything.

#

Cause all ingredients can just be flown in.

#

Not counting nomap/noportal games. Those I just accept the long walk.

wraith belfry
#

Even with the Karve you can take 4 stacks of iron.
Which is a decent haul.

#

Is the karve or the longship faster?

regal cave
#

longship

heavy moss
#

Huh... I always just figured it was the longship, but I guess I never actually checked.

regal cave
#

unless ur turning around

wraith belfry
#

Aahhhh

regal cave
#

the karve is the goat for exploring and scouting a coast the longship (imo) is used for hauling ass over the ocean

wraith belfry
#

I was legit just typing something like that lol.

#

i know there are like different playstyles and whatnot

#

and i don't hate the playstyle per se

#

but bro one of my friends who plays this game keeps flexing being "better" than me when his whole build is just facetanking damage 😭🙏

#

i'm tryna master parrying and dodging and shit and his ass just holds M3 and calls me a noob

#

LIKE BRO

#

it's not a big deal, but it's just a lil annoying

granite grail
#

M3? What does that do?

heavy solstice
#

well, for us it blocks

#

i mean he picks the beefiest shield and holds down a button and calls it a day

oak river
#

Well master parrying and then you'll take less damage then he does and do way more dps

#

Then flex on him in return

heavy solstice
#

i mean i already do more damage, but the main problem is the lag

#

timing's hard when the network's choppy, but it's something i gotta deal with ig

granite grail
#

I mean parrying isn't the only way to play, nor do you need to play that way. Tower shields exist for a reason. But anyway, it sounds like it's more of an attitude problem than a game problem. He shouldn't be mocking you for an individual play style
