To be fair, no player is supposed to fly up to see Thor, so I guess leaving the cart empty and having deer is understandable 😄

I'd like to see them utilize the trader more and use coins more. The trader should sell special potions, foods, weapons and maybe furniture/clothing that are not craftable or repairable, give us a reason to keep going back to him over and over. Maybe he can trade in resources as well. Give us a reason to continue to look gather treasures. He should also buy the trophies.

There is also an easter egg in the mountains. If you ever came across a bunch of small stones stacked on top of each other, there is a tradition in scandinavia, where you youself have to put another Stone on the top. We call it a Stone-troll.

A developer said in an interview that the metallic vehicle is there for its reflective textures for testing.

Thor in real mythology is actually depicted as being pulled by a chariot by two goats named Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr. So while thor isn't there, he most likely isn't there from a development standpoint, the player never will actually see him so why bother modeling him.

The Leviathan eyes startled me a bit, not gonna lie. 👀

2:40 the tree type thingy is called Ygdrassil. Otherwise known as the tree of life. Otherwise known as the gateways to the 9 realms. Otherwise known as the Milkyway.

I also think they should add more armor that doesn't slow you down. It would obviously have a lower defense stat but it would be nice to get something other than the troll hide set.

I don't know if it counts as an easter egg and it's kind of a *spoiler*, but if you hang the bosses trophies into item stands sometimes they will speak to the player.

First time I saw a 2 star troll he wiped out a Fuling village for me... I promptly left him alone!

I didn't know some of these, very cool. I wish the Leviathan was a bit more "alive" it's essentially just a rock lol

I think having giant branches/roots of yggdrasil in the sky is such a smooth and casual way to establish the setting of the game and I love it. To anyone not familiar with norse mythology it's like "why tf is this here?" but if you have some basic knowledge it is a nice way to connect the world to norse mythology while building your own world so nerds don't nag you endlessly for messed up mythology when you're just trying to make a fun survival game about vikings.

The eyes of the leviathan also change I seem them blue at night yellow at day and kinda orange during storms

I think the spaceship was added as a testing object for reflection graphics. A lot of the time devs will add a spherical mirror to use as a reference for reflection in lighting/atmospheric changes to make sure they're properly affected.

A tip I didn't hear you mention is that there is 'higher' chance of 1 and 2 star creatures spawning the further you are from spawn. So if you want to see the 2 star trolls and such, just make your base WAY out at the edge of the map. You will see many 2 star creatures there.

Tree in the sky = Yggdrasil.

I've 'only' played 99 hours of Valheim so far. Taking a break waiting for content updates since I've basically beaten everything available so far (bar the 'last boss', which I've just not gotten around to yet because I got bored looking for totems to summon it). Can't wait for more.

I was on my island building and weather had massive thunderstorm 🌩. Saw something chasing the lightning across the sky and thought what the hell is that following the lightning. Well, I guess you answered it.

Does a red troll still drop blue troll skin? Lol 🤔, would be cool to be able to craft red troll armor. 😅

Lol I saw thor flying next to me the moment I boot up my world for the very first time, thought it was an out of date holiday thing in the game

I had no idea 2 star trolls were that rare. I ran into one while I was farming thistle on like day 270? or something like that. It hit me once and I ran like hell.

In Norse mytologi Thor is riding in a sledge, every time there is thunder in Midgård (our world) , the sledge is pulled by two goats one of them named grisnir I can't remember the name of the other one. He eats the two goats every day and the arise from the dead every morning

was scared to hell first time i saw Odin in the game xD had no idea what the heck that was. Another time he was just standing on the shore watching me float by in my ship

4:18 the Surtling 2 star is also quite unique and cool looking :D

I come across a lot of purple necks. Maybe it's just the map seeds I've played.

1:33 Fire Arrows create light anywhere it sticks on to. It last for a good few seconds. (Or if you wish to see Odin in a better light without the need of getting too close.)

Vikings with Christmas trees. Now that's funny.

Valheim`s biggest Secret is the release date for Hearth and Home, srsly give me more content pls

Surtling Cores can be turned into fireworks by placing one in a fire on an item stand

Leeches also change color and size. For some reason, 1 and 2 star leeches are incredibly common.

I heard of this game when it released on gamepass. I played with some friends and on the 4th day of so while fighting bone mass my friend and I saw Odin and no one believed us, of course I recorded it but we both freaked out like ‘waif do you see that guy over there?!’ And got really scared and it was pretty funny

I remember one time me and my friend...we were calmly sailing on the ocean, in the darkness on our way home when we crossed Leviathan. And oh boy, that was the first time I saw those bright eyes in-game and I freaked out. You can see them even from boat, if you lucky enough to go around his face.

On my first character, every time I see Odin I know I'm about to die in the next few mins. Or at least get into a messed up situation, fast. lol

Apparently there might be a hidden hall somewhere. Like a big building where you can see there's supposed to be wood but isn't anymore, only stone walls. But there's furniture and all kinds of nice things. One user mentioned "it has better comfort level than my base!" I *think* it was in the mountains 🤔

I actually thought I was going insane after a 9 hour valheim session when I saw Odin for the first time

When I was defeating the elder there was a 2 star troll where I had to spawn the elder so I had to kill them both at the same time, man I thought it was impossible but I managed it in the end

fun fact, Odin rides an eight legged horse, Sleipnir, but its even funnier that its just two deer and a cart lol

hm, i killed a 2-start troll in a troll cave. Didnt notice it was red.

No joke, I legit got smacked by a 2 star troll over and over in my troll armor days. Took me forever to get my stuff back from it. 😭 I heard that the Ghosts you can fight in Burial Chambers don't respawn and can thus go extinct.

1:07 thor is usually depicted as riding a cart through the clouds so kinda accurate

Odin does have a big purpose in the game. He will show up when you’re close to a point of interest and somewhat guide you towards it. Such as stone that will reveal boss location.

I have the two swords hanging as display on my secret underground room. Which will i be revealing to my friends after the end game.

5:25 a aromor that protects from fire but weak to water so don't use it in the rain

I got a two star troll about as soon as I was able. I pretty much went to hunt trolls for the first time, being finally able to fight them in melee, and I got surprised with a two star troll that very nearly killed me and forced me to once again run and shoot. Went to the wiki afterwards and it said they can only spawn a certain distance from world center and in fact this was the first time I was in a black forest that was far away enough from certain that the spawn could happen.

I know the last boss, it will be a giant bark beetle. We need to kill it, so Yggdrasil dont die.

I know this video is 2 years old so what I found is not in this video.....I defeated Eikthyr 2 times because I thought it would be cool to mount his trophy on my wall above my fire (not sure if this had anything to do with it) and I was cooking some boar meat and I heard a strange noise. I looked around and saw nothing then noticed that there was overlay of words above me kind of like when you interact with Hugen...but I couldn't see what it said because by the time I noticed it it had vanished soon after. Has anyone else seen this?

Talking about the 2 star troll You can spawn yourself a trophy of a "Forest troll" which has the same coloration as the 2 star one

Apparently we've been super lucky in our game. Found Haldor about 20 hours in, found a 2 star troll about 60 hours in and managed to kill him since there's two of us. The more you know!

Luckily 1&2 stars Neck spawn near my base. The difference with no star is they drop more tails. But yes, their colour is so cool. FYI, don’t keep them in the water even if you have walls around it, they can still somehow escape. I think there’s a loading/saving bugs.

I fought a red troll today so it's funny I watched this video but yes other than it's insane damage and high health I also found I couldn't stagger it which made most of my usual tactics useless I imagine that us just because of its high health but keep this in mind if you do stumble across one

The rainbow sword is actually Heimdall's sword the key to the bi-frost

Your videos are great! Good job dude!

I never knew the 2 star troll was that rare. I ran into it last night while farming tin, and I am only about 10 hours into this game.

The reason the Tolroko Flyer is in the game is because the Developer of that game is called Richard Svensson, which is the same person who owns the company Iron Gate AB who developed Valheim. Its just a personal Easter egg for him.

You can spawn a ship with a roof using commands, it's called ''trailership'' i guess, saw that in the wiki and tried out in my game, you can't sail with it but can use the storage

Odin is also "death sign", when i saw him for the first time, in the same moment deathsquito spawned...

Odins clothes should increase your sneak

So, It was my first time playing Valheim with 2 other friends, I was going to summon the Elder without them and all of a sudden a 2 star troll holding his log waltzed on over and I had to run from it and the Elder lol.

Seen the Red Troll myself and got unlucky with him spawning early game. Took two hours to retrieve my gear and had to use a fishing tactic to kill it.

The tree is Yggdrasil.. tree of worlds

I've encountered a 2star troll. It's pretty strong. Really good for helping you farm

Two goats, a very acurate representation of thors vehicle

red troll was right next to elder location. took a while to kill but definitely worth it since it dropped 20 troll hide

I don't think you know this but you can place campfires bonfires and hearths on top of iron beams so you can place it in your wood floor and have a campfire :D

i met a red troll in a troll cave in day 60 we ded like 6 times to kill the troll he is very strong we are in full troll leather armor and using skeleton shields but does not matter he damages 90 every time

It's ok that the maypole is rare, since there was no tradition for the maypole in norse mythology. The maypole is in the german, swede and dane mythology.

the space ship makes sense with the alien statues in the swamp

"You dont see 2 star trolls normally" Me whose running away from 1 for the 69th time

That corgi was defo for robbaz

I'm playing mostly high af but after seeing this I'm totally sure I saw Odin :D this game is awesome, hopefully it gets a better graphics :D can't play a lot because it hurt my brain and eyes after a while :D

I almost shat my pants when I encountered my first Leviathan. Suddenly the island was just gone and I was completely helpless in the big ocean. :O

Love how nobody asks why the leviathan are camouflaged to appear like floating islands. What are they hiding from?

The leviathan should have a sick back story maybe a portal or mist you can enter takes you into previous gods who fought the levithans but they can't die so the previous ones dismembered them and tossed the head into the ocean lol. But you get to vs it fully assembled obviously 🤔

Please do more video essay stuff. Your have great potential

Excited

I fought a 2 star trill before I hit day 100...

OH I didn't realize 2 star trolls were rare....I encountered one the other day after getting to the trader. I of course died, but that's cool to know now xD

at 0:49 thats santa. devs even joked about it.

There is a red troll next to my base. I use him to chop some trees.

"Some players go hundreds of hours without seeing a red troll" Meanwhile I get attacked by one on DAY TWO

The Thor is probably a placeholder to him. Or santa. Who knows.

that leviathan true face reveal gonna haunt my dreams. And Odin is acting like herobrine, he is the true herobrine. Or g-man.

For the first one, this is an early access game. They probably just don't have Thor's assets yet.

I saw two, one star trolls in one day, and that was my first time seeing them, me and my friend thought that it was added with the abomination

Btw the spaceship thing is actually a easter egg towards halo as its the exact same design as the ghosts which are essentially hovering motor bikes in the games

Wait, i have played the game for 129 hours, but just started a new careckter with some of my friends who just bought the game and i have found 2 lvl 2 trolls on that world and that world is day 40-50

can you build on top of a leviatan? never tried it...

I didn't know Red Troll is a rare thing to see

I got the 2 star troll while starting the iron age. Had to leave it until i got resources to kill it.

Dang.....the Odin thing happened quite a few times lately...me: what was thaaat...it:already gone. . As I am not the youngest gamer outthere (into Gaming since the 80ties) I thought, it is a sign of too long gaming hours, ahaa....now the Age starts showing....hahaha. Good news

I've seen one red troll about the day 10 and it resisted a tone of arrow so i had to repair the bow during the combat, in the end i could kill him lol

Found a 2 star troll in my first 24 hours of playing the game

You are the guy who tells the plot-twists while buying popcorn before the film starts. Spoilers suck, you know?

The cheat sword is a reference to a weapon classic world of warcraft

Got a red troll when i was going for the Elder Altar... Wasn't pleasant...

Odin was in my world!! I was playing with a friend when he said he saw him. Thought he was capping for the longest time till I saw this video. He appeared 2 times in a row though so maybe that's rare?

Odins looks creepy

the tree is the world tree, which connects all the worlds, as said in the valhiem intro, odin cut the 10th world from it to protect the others.

Yeah, I was "lucky" enough to encounter a 2 star troll. Killed me twice. Had to stealth to get my gear back.

That flying object is a left over from their old game, the game uses same engine and it looks like earlier versions of the same assets.
