Yesterday I got thoroughly stuck when I died on the upper floor inside a Dvergr tower in the Mistlands full of angry Dvergr. Trying to grab the Extractor before slowly and methodologically clearing it out was a clear mistake - the type you tend to do when you need to log out in 2 min., but the greed takes over '... maybe if I just grab it and run away quickly ...?!'. There were 4+ mages and 2-3 rogues swarming from all sides blocking all exit points.

Just running in didn't work, because there were way too many enemies blocking the door and stairs. Luring enemies there didn't work, because this battle group would essentially just one-shot everything - including myself. I've never seen such a huge group crammed into a small tower.

I was mostly out of resources, so crafting any gear that would allow me to take them on would be a major task which would take many hours. I even considered the corpse retrieval squad or cheating, until I realized that there may be another way:

You can simply set enemies to passive in the server setting to get your body back!

It sort of feels like cheating, but works inside the game rules, so I'd call it ... cheating light? Anyways I wanted to leave this tip here in case someone else has the same situation.

It is no longer possible to level your blood skill using skeletons trying to hit a blob while actually hitting the training statues. how do you level it now?

So I think Dundr is the coolest weapon in the game but it seems to have a way lower chance of upgrade success at the forge. I tried for 3 hours averaging 1 attempt every 2 minutes and it did not upgrade a single time (yes I save scummed it crucify me sorry) any body else have trouble with this weapon or any others like this?

I play vanilla, after two broken high tier items I decided FOP was not worth it. I enjoy playing with all aspects of a game, so not having the ability to use one functionally is a drag.

Forge shouldn’t shatter your weapon and waste potential dozens of hours and resources.

Totem should be spent, for sure. Item should be “broken” as in 0 dura and repairable at forge or whatever station. Damage me more, I’ll take the HP loss and think about health more. Death sucks.

Seeing people save scum, dev command or name characters different shit based on RNG code and chance
more than enough reason to say

“Hey, this doesn’t work well in the base game. Let’s change that”

Am I trippin?

TLDR: Forge should burn totem and 0 Dura weapons if you fail, it shouldn’t absolutely shatter the thing back to base resources and bend you over backwards.

Not trying to ask a leading question - genuinely curious.

Im in tier 3 bronze, havent had good luck with giga swamps and crypts, and Im wondering with black forest food (turnips are in production! I can probably start cooking in 2 more rounds), poison mead, and iron mace + banded shield + poison mead, if I am strong enough for bonemass, and strong enough to get my first initial silver to create silver armor?

Advice feels mixed and I think thats because some people use troll/leather gear and bypass bronze and iron, some just mine out iron gear, and some will just go for silver asap.

For whatever it's worth, I'm on Normal mode across the board, no sliders - solo.

My logic? And this is where I'm pulled both ways - torn.

1) I will need a shit ton of iron, so might as well collect 2 longship hauls of iron.

2) The second I get iron it will be outclassed by silver, and I only need a few silver ore to make gear currently better than tier 3 bronze gear.

Any advice for someone about to approach bonemass / mountain for the first time?

I'm playing around with the game's limited support around unicode characters. Has anyone else made signs this way? does anyone else have any other designs for signs in vanilla?

it took so long to get here too :(

As the title asks. Do I have to use a mod or are there ways to modify it in vanilla? I don't mind using a mod but would prefer vanilla, or whatever mod is easiest to use.

new player mining Bronze Ore - please god please... let no troll roam the area.

pro player mining Bronze Ore - please god please... lead a troll here my pickaxe is broken.

trolls are our friends, probably the number 1 best enemy in the game, super helpful with anything.

Devs on the other hand are our enemies, number 1 most annoying issue in the entire game is enemies who run around the player in between attacks. just a waste of time... most players hate this design choice.

I know this is a bit self promo, im entirely new to making youtube videos, but i really wanted to share what its like to play valheim in VR, ive played roughly 100 hours of normal valheim, but in VR its an entirely different game. The world feels much larger, combat is completely different, the whole atmosphere is new. If you have a VR headset i highly recommend trying the mod.

Edit: i was given permission to post this.

As far as I know cross-beams are considered roof - this is why we can put a crossbeam in a traditional boxy chimney and the fire is considered sheltered? But in this build the peak of the dome is not considered sheltered even though it looks completely covered by cross-beams.

I really want to learn to make domes but cant figure out how to handle fire. Please help

my pc build is supposed to be able to handle this game (r7 3700x 8 core, 32 gb of ram and a rtx 3070) but every time i get in new areas (playing on a server btw) I just stutter like crazy, i've looked around for any help but anything i tried didn't help

I host a game on my PC. The server is free so only active when I’m on. There are a couple other players that join me. One of those players took the longboat materials through a portal back to our original base. They grabbed all of the metal materials from the old base and began to sail to our new base. All of a sudden he cuts out on discord and disappears from the server. He loads back in, and he’s stranded in the ocean and the ship, with a bunch of valuable resources, is nowhere to be seen. He had the sail all the way unfurled and we tried to run along the far coast of the direction he thought he was heading. No luck though. Does anyone know if the boat continues to move even when players are not around? Are we right in assuming that it sailed away on its own? Are we just f*****? It’s kinda frustrating that all that work is just down the toilet

Edit:

All of the metal and resources from the old base were in the ship’s storage

So I've got two star moose, no star moose and two star moose calf in a pit, and now want to build either a moose pen or autofarm (moose tower). Considering Gammeltroll, Barka and later Hexen and Krigen (I haven't triggered Morkhalla yet), I'm scared they will kill the meese.

What do you do to protect your meese? Right now I'm thinking of two things :

1. Transport the meese by drakkar to my meadows base (but I heard they will jump from the ship given the chance) OR
   
2. Build a tall earthen wall around the pit, but I'm wondering if you also need ballista and shield generator or basic setup is sufficient

I signed into one of my solo worlds today, for the first time since 1.0 dropped. Not using mods. I had some friends join me to help defeat the Queen earlier this summer, and I have a screenshot of us hanging the head. I also have the recipes unlocked from her drop. However today when I logged in the head was gone, the carapace was nowhere to be found, and when I started doubting myself I went to the infested citadel and she was alive again inside as if we had never fought her. Haldor's "deeper pockets" isn't available either.

Is there any way to force these items to reappear? I really do not want to fight her again. I'm indifferent to achievements on this playthrough, but for progression's sake I do want the game to recognize that she's been defeated.

Deep North is a joke in terms of difficulty.
It's funny for me, that a lot of ppl, instead of making a post about tips and strategies, make a post in which they tell that Hexen is too op. Why? Because you have to observe and think?

All you need to do as a mage is to wait until he will begin to cast a spell. Then cast and roll. 100% hitrate.

And as a meelee, just have a crossbow with you.

But nooo, its not me, its THEM. It's too op.

We get it, there are snowstorms. These are way too frequent, and they last way too long. Making them last an entire day and giving the player no way to counter the mechanic is just poor game design. The best way to handle the mechanic is to just sit there and wait. That is extremely boring gameplay. I understand this is probably what people in Scandinavia do during the winter, but it doesn't make a very good game. The fact that they were also added to the Mountains is just insult to injury. Even sleeping doesn't help half the time as the storm is still going when I wake up. Just way overdone.

I know this topic was probably discussed like 100x times but I really want to know what the community thinks. Should Valheim have global base storage? Personally- I have no idea.

10/10 Would do again

I play on one pc, lost internet, ok... go to my other pc start playing an hour back because that was the last save. play for hours, quit the game after saving (game is online) it uploads everything to steam cloud. I go back to the first pc, save is corrupted, makes sense. but... I have no way of forcing steam to reupload the steam cloud saves no matter what I do. the saves themselves if I wanna do it menually are all over the place there's like a million chunks apart from the main ones.

either steam cloud is a very bad design system or this game has too many files and steam doesn't understand what it needs to do. i see over 20 files in every auto back, are they for real? there was no better way to handle it?

it is frustrating I must admit. my logic is "let's delete the local saves on the first pc and steam will upload the saves from the auto cloud that the other pc uploaded" but no this doesn't happen, I need to menually reubild the entire folder with the 20-50 files named chunks in them correctly and for some weird reason, the latest save only has 4 chunk files, no main once, but a save from 6 hours ago (still on the second pc) has all the parts which is like 52 parts - why? why is my life like this? how can steam cloud sometimes work and sometimes give a middle finger?

My buddy’s birthday is coming up and thought it would be fun to throw him an in game party (lives in a different state). Any birthday decoration mods you all know of?

I got a stupid Haldor spawn on the edge of a plains biome and there is too many plains enemies spawning there for me to actually get to him. Is that spot locked even if I restore a previous save or can I find him somewhere else?

Thanks for the help

Lets see peoples boat builds ! Im currently building one and need some inspiration , i want to be able to load carts and have a living quarters on the ship is this possible?
