thanks for the feedback :)

I agree. It does make it easier with less distractions.

the score is good, but it can be distracting. especially in a guide video

I'd just recomment not doing continuous music :)

Thank you for such an insightful comment :) There are so many different approaches to the game and I enjoy hearing them :)

Love to see people with a similar strategy. Also you can get finewood without hitting even one tree. The stone towers in the Black forest with the chest behind the door have a barrel and a stool in front. Break them and you get your stuff. Stool gives 1 finewood and the barrel random stuff but can give ya up to 10 finewod. I even got troll leather from there. Since I search for the trader I find enough of those structures to get the finewood bow without bothering with the threes. I get finewood bow, then trollarnore then I make boat and search for chitin aaand an easy lox kill without those flying demons around. Kill eikthyr and elder. Cause I don't wanna have even one elder event. Get the iron for the serpent scale shield, build the shield, make frost resistance potions and go for some silver. Build the lox cape aaand farm silver with the help of the stage breaker of course until I get the silver armor, Frostner aaand eventually the sword.... only cause I like the look of it. Crush Bonemass aaand Moder. Again, I don't wanna have Moder raids cause they're just annoying. Bonemass events are ok, cause they help with the food. Now I search for a small plains islands to build my base. Soo I basically skipp completely the bronze and iron stuff. I still have to get iron for the pickax aand the porcupine. I still build the padded armor. But mostly I'm in troll armor or silver armor. I also build only two shields. Serpent and black metal round shield. Also i build the flit axe first and replace it with the endgame black metal one. Frostner and porcupine for the battle aaand eventually silver or black metal sword.

@@vadimblin I like your thinking! I'm interested that you build your end-game base in Plains. I presume you do that so that you can have everything including Flax and Barley in one spot. I thought about this for a long time and it is tempting. But I ultimately settled on a two-base system. My end-game base is on the coast in Meadows close to Black Forest and is built even before I've started mining, as I outlined. That means everything I put down is in its final place already and will never have to be broken down or moved or built again somewhere else. Then once I have Dragon Tears, I build a farm in Plains. It's a simple 10x10 square of cultivated land ringed with a stone wall three tiles high. There is a single layer of roof tiles along one wall, with a Workbench, Stonecutter, Portal, Artisan Table and a couple of Chests under the roof. There is also a Windmill but the rest is crop fields. I tame every Lox in the vicinity so Plains combat becomes optional. This is what makes Troll armour viable in end-game for me. Usually, I portal in to the farm to plant/harvest my crops. Once my chores are done, I leave the farm and run around the surrounding area, sniping Squitoes, aggroing Fulings and Growths and leading them to my Lox, who crush them like bugs. I scoop up the loot, pet and feed the Lox to keep them happy and healthy, and head homewards. On my latest playthrough, I found a village with a Maypole inland so I decided to build my base there instead of on the coast. OMG, that was such a mistake. Sure, the extra Comfort point from the Maypole is handy but not being on the coast is painful. I struggle to sustain Fish Wraps because there is no coast for fishing nearby. I struggle to sustain arrows because no gulls land on the ground around my base at night for Feathers. I have to run a long way to offload ore from my boat to the base. So I won't do that again. I'm totally welded to the strategy of building my end-game base on the coast in Meadows. Nothing else is efficient for me. Another thing I do is to stop making Coal asap. Instead, I find a Swamp with several Fireholes in close proximity. I level them with my pickaxe till they're knee-deep in water, which instantly kills any Surtlings that spawn. Then I plonk down a portal in the middle and periodically visit the area to pick up the Coal dropped by the Surtlings. In my current map, I found a Swamp with six Fireholes in a ring. Each Firehole produces 12 Coal from its 3 Surtlings. So doing one circuit of the 6 Fireholes delivers 72 Coal. By the time I've completed the circuit, five minutes have elapsed and the first Firehole is spawning Surtlings again. So I can do another circuit immediately. Two circuits take me from dawn till just after lunch and produce 144 Coal. I don't know how long it would take me to chop wood and process 144 Coal in the Kiln. But I'm sure it would be a lot longer than a morning. In addition, the tamed Lox knock down trees and bushes constantly while fighting and running around Frightened. So I'm drowning in Wood at my base I have more than 1000 stored and nothing to use it on. I have crafted the Blackmetal Axe but I don't think I've used it yet, heh. I'm really lazy. Fighting, chopping, mining, gathering, terraforming and building all sound like hard work to me. So I skip them wherever possible, haha.

@@Kysen thanks and yeah, that is the genius of Valheim - that you can play it however you like, there is no right or wrong. I also enjoy seeing and hearing how people approach the game, how they design and structure their bases, what gear they choose to prioritise and so on. It really is the ultimate sandbox game where you can tailor it to however you want.

How do you find silver with the Stagbreaker? Haven't seen that one before, very curious.

Agreed. It's really grown on me and I catch myself humming the music as I play now haha

Thanks for the feedback guys :)

THe Flint Axe can harvest core wood.

That's a way too. Also it can have benefits not to rush a boss. Eikthyr is a boss most people do as fast as possible.... I actually wouldn't recommend that. Cause his ability helps not to run out of stamina that quickly but I think in the beginning it's more important to learn how to manage your stamina. To learn how much can I actually do. In the beginning it's easy to panic rush if you run into many enemies at once and that's how you die. Also in the beginning you have to search for food while later you can have giant fields of food growing. Eikthyr raid is damn handy there.

Yeah I think it's important for everyone to play the game the way they enjoy best :)

Thank you for the feedback :)

Thanks for the feedback and you're welcome :)

Worst advice ever bro. If your otherwise undefended base is not surrounded in campfires and you're just wilding out with the hammer you will likely get destroyed and just sleep after respawning then collect your stuff log out and try really hard to come up with a plan that fails before you spend your day's farming stone to build a terrain wall around your main base. It's a legitimate strategy just do it first lol

Thank you and Thanks for the feedback :)

Thank you for the feedback :)

Ok thanks for your feedback :)

You're very welcome, glad you like the series :)

Music but low :3

Totally agree. A wooden tower shield with one upgrade can face tank every one of Eikthyr's attacks, no armor required at all, and you can just stand there and beat him to death with any old melee weapon and never take a point of damage. Way faster and easier than the ranged method in my experience. I actually like the flint spear for the job as it gives you a bit more reach and when that pansy deer runs away from you you can chuck it at him and just pick it up again as you chase down that cowardly ungulate. I usually farm him a couple of times in quick succession so I can make a stack of pickaxes, speeding up the copper mining process as I don't have to stop and repair as often.

That's awesome thanks for watching so much! 🙂

Well I don't waist my time on stone weapons.... you have everything around the spawn for an stone axe but mostly you're not far from water anyway. Aaaand you need the flint for the workbench soo you have to search for it. One stack is all you need and you get that easily while running along the coast line.

Yaay, day 5 and Eikthyr is dead. My son watched my gameplay. Hus comment was. I can see you need another computer. The lag!!!

Ok thanks for your feedback :)

Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you've gotten into streaming, good luck! :)

Helps to add to the ambiance.

Thanks for your feedback :)

I prefer Valheim with music

@@Kysen No problem... Now let's get that algorithm moving 🤣🤣🤣

@@hazimreitz haha yeah it can be tough sometimes!

Ah you'll get there! One day you'll look back and wonder why you ever found it hard. Good food, armor, weapons and you'll do it! 🙂

Thank you 🙂

I did kill a troll but didn't show it on cam as I wouldn't recommend it (especially to new players) this early in the game unless you're experienced or very good at combat. As for the stagbreaker that is unlocked when you get core wood which I got in episode 1 by dismantling a NPC campfire area :)

@@Kysen That makes sense! Didn't know you could get the recipe for stagbreaker before getting the antlers. Just another thing I have learned from you. Thanks for the reply, keep up the great work, love your content :)

@@pacmaNoh no worries and thank you very much 🙂

I will cover the bosses as I go through this Valheim Guide playthrough so Yagluth won't be for a while yet unfortunately. Not sure if I will do some boss tutorial videos separate to this series or not

Thanks for the feedback :)

Ok thanks for your feedback :)

Thanks mate

Thanks :) and you know it! :D

Yeah but he can throw you of and he still has his aoe attack which will get you there

All I get from bronze is the axe and the buckler aaand if I have enough left, the pickax. It is only slightly faster when the antler one and since I always have the workbench nearby when I go for the copper vines the durability doesn't really matter.

They seem to yes. Also many people say to hunt them in the rain as apparently they come in to land more often then :)

You can punch Eikthyr if you want.

It depends on how new you are to the game really. This was designed to give new players a look at the Eikthyr fight and an idea of how they can kill Eikthyr fairly easily and with low risk :)

Well , this is probably the simplest option. Not the easiest but also not the hardest. You can clap him with shield and club. But you also can go for the black forest first aaand get stuff for the finewood bow. Finewood is from those trees that you can't chop without at least bronze axe. But you can get it from barrels and stools near stone towers which you can find in the black forest. Make sure you have a torch and material to build one which is wood and resin. Find a stone tower, kill the enemies, break barrels and stool. Repeat until you have enough. You'll also need corewood. Pine trees in black forest. Just chop em down. With that bow ... you'll need probably not even 2 minutes for eikthyr
