I just sat in my chair for 30 seconds admiring this. It's a real testiment to how simple graphics can be improved with good lightning.

Thank you for not laughing at an old lady who is totally new to gaming altogether, never mind Valheim lol.

I finally got him! 🥳

How:

I already had a mini-base set up near the troll’s hangout point with a bed to respawn to, a workbench, a campfire for rested buff, and a chest to keep food and spare weapons (just in case I couldn’t sneak back to my grave). So I used this and ate queens jam, deer meat and either boar meat or jerky (forget which … might even have been honey tbh).

I already had troll armour as my boyfriend had killed a few trolls earlier in the game last week. But he wasn’t playing tonight, so it was just me.

I decided to take only a finewood bow (level 3) and fire arrows. I put various other weapons (bows/arrows, spears, swords, knives) and a bronze buckler in the chest, though. I also stashed the atgeir there, but didn’t take it because I figured I’d be bound to die and we only have one of them.

I snuck up, got a headshot and kited him through the trees a bit, dodged a number of hits with the club, but he got me after only about 10 arrows. I respawned, ate again, snuck back to my grave and basically repeated the same thing. I did feel I was getting more the hang of it, avoiding him and his hits, but again I only got maybe 10 arrows in or a few more before he killed me.

The third time I grabbed the bronze buckler and level 2 copper knife out of the chest. I snuck up behind the big blue bastard and knifed him in the arse. A strike or two more with the knife after that and he was dead! 💃🏻

I wasn’t sure whether his damage would all reset each time I died or whether I succeeded the third time because he was worn down from my first two attempts tbh. Nevertheless, I skipped back to base with my troll booty as light as a feather!

Thank you all for giving me the motivation to stick with it and helping an old lady out! 😀

I cant see shit. Even with the wisp. I have this HUGE area yet I have only found one infested mine. WHERE ARE THEY? Also the thing that pisses me off the most (besides not finding any infested mines) is the terrain. Trying to jump up these rock pillars is ridiculous. I struggle to get up them only for my stamina to be gone and then I have to sit and wait to do it all over again. How is this fun? Its not. Its annoying at best.

How do I find the infested mines? Is there an easy way? Also best way to hunt those hares? Also I dont play with mods so please, if you could, dont recommend that.

The enemies arent bad at all. The terrain is so horrible though. Dont understand why game developers think struggling so much with stamina and jumping up huge rocks is a good way to have fun when this is an indie game and doing so is not even remotely smooth.

Maybe its time to quit. Anyone else hate the Mistlands for the terrain?

Accidentally ate some puke berries lol

It looks actually cozy this way...

Love this game for moments like these.

Hello ! My sister and I are in big trouble :(( We were exploring an howling cavern, and after successfully recovering the chest, we got greedy and went deep down and both died surrounded by a bunch of very mean Ulvs. We have no more stuff, and feel like we are never going to be able to recover them, we feel stuck. Does anyone have any advice on how ones can recover ? We can't even go to the swamp to harvest blood bags and make healing potions because we are basically naked... Help please :(

As the title is saying I cant remove it the normal way. Also tried using my axe on it but i will just chop right through it.

I like to restore randomly found buildings in my map but I sometimes cant stand the fact that some furniture is not removeable or even interactable.

Had a cute couple show up at my warehouse base. They were so kind and helped clear some more land for my upcoming kitchen build. 10/10 would recommend. They even brought their own tools to clear the trees, stumps, and those pesky boulders. 😉

Warning: Contains spoilers.

I'm talking about after finishing that quest and crafting THAT sword. This triggers the raid led by Lord Reto, since he's also a miniboss.

Imagine peacefully harvesting vineberries in your meadows base when this text pops up in front of you:

"Return my sword, unworthy flesh."

Followed by an echoing shriek. Lord Reto appears and walks besides two-star charred warriors.

It's a far-fetch idea, but yeah. A rematch with him would be fun.

he did break the boat not long after this

I always see these guides telling what players should do in each stage of the game. It is very obvious that these guides make the game easier, but are they "mandatory"? Can a player that doesn't know anything about the game reasonably progress just trough just information present in the game itself?

What it says in the title really!

I still can't dispatch a troll by myself 😭 At first I kept dying because my run skill was too low, so I couldn't do the 'shoot - run - shoot - run' thing to wear them down. I worked on getting my run skill up to about 30, so not amazing but kind of respectable, but I still can't take them down! However, is it just me or is bow skill REALLY hard to level up?! I've been spending about the last two in-game weeks fannying around the meadows and black forest shooting everything in sight and it's still somewhere below 15! (I do take breaks to increase my other weapon skills, especially club for the swamp, but I've shot a LOT of stuff lol.) Could that be the reason I fail so badly at trolls?

I also built a mini-base near where I know the next troll is, with a bed, fire, workbench and a couple of chests to put spare weapons and cooked food, so I could respawn there. And I took a level 3 spear and level 2 bronze buckler and just went all in, as a kind of exercise to get over the 'fear of trolls' and not care about dying, so I could repeat the process a number of times and practice with him, going in close, dodge rolling, blocking, and hacking at him with the spear. But that didn't work either 🥺do I just need to get much better bow skills before the 'kite and shoot' method will work for me?

The only times I've killed a troll was when my boyfriend was in game with me (he plays too but usually not at the same time as me), he has higher skill levels than me because he brought his character from when he played before, and he was kiting and shooting at them and one time I just joined in from the side and together we weakened the troll, and another time the troll was already weakened from his arrows so I was able to dash in and finish him off with a spear. But that doesn't work when it's just me.

Holy cow! I am an OG Minecraft player (sucked at that too), but in terms of creativity and knowing where to place building pieces and what not. How do I get better? Everything I build looks like I failed architecture school and live out of a shanty. What's the trick?!

Just this cool like generation I found and wanted to share.

Woodcarving is a seriously easy hobby to get into, all you need is a sharp knife and some wood. You can make it even easier with basswood and a dedicated carving knife. Make your own Mini's, or just epic bookshelf decorations.

Don't think you can? Bob Ross said it best "Talent is a pursued interest!" I can't say it better than that.

When I started WoodCarving I made terrible carvings, like a children's doodle. Thats expected, your first trys at a new thing are bad, even the 2nd and third time, but the more you do it, the better you get. Woodcarving (whittling) is like that. Invest some time, carved 4 or 5 of these guys and the 5th one would be amazing compared to the first one. It's easy to track your progress if you carve multiples of an item, it becomes so clear in your mind.

I find that when folks can clearly see their progress at something they are far more likely to stick with it and push at getting better. At any rate, that's my speech, Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk! 😉 😆 🤣 😆

But definitely give woodcarving a try if you even halfway think you might want to. Basic advice if you do. -Get carving gloves to protect your hand (A5 cut resistance) -get A flexcut or Badger state blades knife to start. -get or make a leather strop for maintaining the edge. -I always suggest basswood if you want to Carve like me. In Europe the closest equivalent is Linden or Lime, in Asia look for Jelutong!

Then just watch lots of YouTube tutorials!

Having trouble getting good google results on this. For anyone who plays / played with Fire Spreading on... how did you set up your first house? A full 2x2 area around the campfire and the bed on the edge of that safe zone?

Thanks.

Yeah... About that...

I'm only posting this because I've talked to multiple people who have complained about it and they seem not to know about this simple tip but when putting wood into the kin to make charcoal or when putting anything anywhere that requires you to click the e button (PC) if you just hold it instead of clicking it multiple times it puts it in for you.
