Again, if you aren’t careful, you can lose some valuable stuff here. It’s usually wide and open, but that also gives you a false sense of security as dangers like the Deathsquito, Lox, and Fuling (Goblins basically) can instantly kill you if you have little health and armor. Plains – The fifth and final biome to explore is the plains. The moment you dive deep into a mountainside, without a way to protect you from the cold (potions or a spare cape), you can most certainly kiss your items goodbye. Mountains – Snowy and at times in a blizzard, one of my favorite biomes, but also one of the most unforgiving as Wolves (and a scarier looking one, Fenrir), Drakes, and Stone Golems reside here. The third boss, and arguably, toughest one, Bonemass, is found here. One of the most important materials, Iron, is located here so you’ll return to this area more often in the midgame. Swamp – An area that constantly rains, giving your character a debuff and makes traversing harder as you encounter poisonous leeches and Dragurs (think undead knights). The second boss, Elder resides there when you can find its spawn point. It’s also where monstrous Trolls are located and can lead to extreme damage to any structure you hide in (including that grand house of yours). It’s also the area location of the first boss, Eikthyr.īlack Forest – A tougher area where you encounter more Graydwarfs and Skeletons. Meadows – Usual starting area with lots of tamer mobs like deer and boar, good for any settlement. Again, this is an early access game, so it may change Without making this much of a how-to guide, all I can say is that your spawn can give you a surround sound of survivability by understanding how far away you are from these dangerous areas when you are under-leveled or underprepared, but to summarize what to know, just be reminded of these. The tameness of the Meadows becomes much safer when you realize that the Plains ain’t exactly for planting crops, but possibly a horrible badland full of Death(squitos) and Fuling (the fires) of danger to your poor Viking. Here is where Valheim shows its beauty.Īs you go venture through the different biomes, the landscape, the prep you have, and the enemies you face change. Once you have settled in an area, built a house, and placed the essentials, you can now venture farther out yonder (with some food and gear, of course) in which your main goal is to find the spawn locations of your next beast to slay. Just make sure you don’t think about building a huge structure near, or in Black Forest perimeters (more on that later).Ī different biome, a different challenge. No worries about symmetry as the building materials usually snap into place as long as it’s leveled with the ground, plus expansion is always available as long as you have settled in a land big enough for you to make your manor of mayhem (or farm. Since you’re starting up though, try to build a modest Viking abode that you can store things in like chests for your inventory/food rations and the ever-important campfire. Do keep in mind that, you should be mindful of the foundation and structural integrity of your house as it will come crashing down like a Viking with one too many alcoholic refreshments. Once you do build the hammer and get new items, you’ll see what items you can craft, which is essential in getting that dream Viking home you wish to make. Bear in mind that each item has a stack limit, and also adds to how much you can carry (300 weight without the item Megingjord and 450 weight with the item, to be exact), so bring only to the essentials in this sightseeing trip. When you check your inventory for the first time, your items will be stored in a 9x4 grid, with the first row items being accessible via the numbers on your keyboard. The big bird that drops you off the spawn platform at the beginning of the game.įrom start to the first boss, this video shows the beginning of your adventure. ( Youtube Channel: Kage848) After a nice superhero landing, a crow named Hugin greets and welcomes you towards your new journey and babysits (sometimes blocks) your path to your actual quest to gather all 5 boss trophies (their heads basically) and pointing out discoveries you make in your gameplay. Once you get past the character selection with limited presets to how your Viking looks, you’ll be greeted with the opening text sequence, and eventually see your character being slowly dropped by a huge bird that acts as your Nordic Uber towards your destination, never to be seen again. With such a broad premise with Valheim’s background setting, you’d be interested to know how the story of this game plays out, right? Except for the fact it has no story… well, apart from the opening Star Wars-like text scroll when you start with your new character.
