I'll give the queen a second run as the mage at some point. I doubt it will look much different. The Demolisher usually ends up being most of the damage! lol

Yeah, you can cheese the fight 100% with just the demolisher. I wanted to get a bit of action! :)

I love blowing things to bits as a mage! Minor spoiler - there will be another expedition as the mage in a few episodes time. I think I'll put up a poll afterwards to gage everyone's preferences! :)

Challenge accepted! Once you get your cold gear, you can make a video climbing yours and I'll do the same. :D

The seekers can't fly when they are deeper in the water, but there are spots where they can climb out a bit and then fly up. :)

Great question! :) Seeker Soldiers are resistant to all types of physical damage (blunt/slash/pierce) and immune to spirit damage. Frostner is one of the better weapons to use against them due to the frost damage. Regular Soldiers aren't too bad. The 1-star variety just have a gallon of hit points to work through. Need patience and to make sure you minimise how much damage you are taking in return. They have a weak point that I've exploited in a few fights, including some that are coming up. It is on their abdomen though, so not reachable from the front with a 1-handed melee weapon. You can snipe it with a ranged weapon or get it with an area attack (eg door knocker) if you can get into a suitable position and the soldier isn't able to delete you. :) Look for yellow damage numbers, that is when you are hitting somewhere that is weak to that damage type. Grey means the target is resistant to that damage type. White is just regular damage. If you have awesome timing you can try parrying and getting bonus damage that way, but that isn't an option with the tower shield. Tower shield is my favourite shield type due to the massive amount of damage you can block, that only gets better as your block skill improves. I was blocking 100+ damage hits. That never gets old. :) Thank you! :)

Yes, and we aren't done yet!! :)

Thank you!! I think that boss fight just needs some "duff duff" music for a backing track and it would be the perfect atmosphere!! :D

The editing is still rather rudimentary! Thank you! :)

The ones that have torches can set you on fire when they hit you in an attack - if you were using a torch for a weapon you can do the same. The gobbo shamans throw fireballs that can also set you on fire. :)

@@RudimentaryRob ah ok thanks for extra info 😊

Ah I was close! And to be honest the big one should count as 2 anyways 😂

Binge watch complete, I’m finally up to date. This was a great video, actioned packed with a lovely field of death too 😂

Good guess!!

I only counted it as one as a lord of the rings reference then forgot to put that in the commentary! :D

Thank you!! Stamina running out while swimming... I think that might be a thing that I just do with survival games. Thankfully in Valheim, your stamina running out isn't immediately fatal. That is the point at which you start taking damage - a bit like running out of air in Sunkenlands. Best avoided, but not a massive problem until you run out of health as well. :)

Thanks 😁

Ask and you shall receive! I have included a spot at the end of S3 E7 with my current skills. I think I intended to do it more often, then forgot to! Ooops!

@@RudimentaryRob nice! Curious to see the blocking skill increase and how much those tower shields can defend.

Thank you! :)

Good question! The Iron Mace and the Iron Sledge both do exactly the same blunt damage. The Iron Sledge takes more stamina to swing and does not have any combo attacks that increase the damage. The Iron Sledge is also a two handed weapon, so no shield can be equipped at the same time. The Iron Mace has a 3 swing combo that does increased damage, particularly on the 3rd swing. The Iron Mace is only 1 handed and allows for the use of a shield. Using the shield with the Iron Mace allowed me to block most of the melee damage from Bonemass. Checking the video, it looks to be around 75 blocked damage per swing. Blocking with the door knockerv2 is much less than that, and bosses can't be staggered. Blocking with shields (tower shields) is pretty awesome when you can get your block skill going! Bonemass is capable of some scary damage if you aren't prepared! The way I see the fight: If you are going to use the Poison Resistance mead to reduce the poison damage taken by 75%, why not use a shield to block most of the melee damage taken as well. It makes the fight much less stressful and you don't need to chug healing meads endlessly. I hope that helps!! Thank you for watching! :)

@@RudimentaryRob that helps loads, thank you 🤗

Great question!! This is the first thing that popped into my head after watching your most recent Valheim video. Short answer is yes! Trolls do eventually respawn. That isn't the only way you can get an encounter with trolls though. I'll let you discover the other way in time!! :)

It was a moment that could have gone badly at any moment! Thankfully, my luck prevailed! :)

Further evidence that I don't just include the awesome things, I also include the monumentally stupid things too!! :D

Iron Sledge! You'll need to kill The Elder (boss) and raid a few crypts to get the mats to make one! It is pretty sweet though! :)

You are welcome! Many more bosses to sacrifice! Thank you for watching! :)

Trolls are the "big scary" at the start of the game, but they aren't that hard to deal with. :)

Flu is gone, just dealing with the usual cold weather sniffles and such. Thank you for watching and the well wishing! I'll keep battling on! :) In a bit of a progress update: I'm quite a bit ahead in my release schedule at the moment (uploaded episode 16 last night). The silver age is ending soon(ish) and we will be moving into the plains!! :)

Any time! :)

Wow! Valheim random generator really didn't like you that day!! I'm not sure it could have been any worse!?!... :D

You'll have to turn the boat speed to a single forward arrow. This moves the boat by paddling only and pulls up the sail.

Yep, can't have the sail up when the wind indicator is in the dead zone and turns grey. When it is very close to the edge but still white, you can use half sail. :)

I think my question is as much facetious as actual. I'm not sure if it is something in the DNA of game developers, so many different games put a proportionately higher need for iron than any other resource! I am actually not sure myself exactly how much I will actually use. It is worth knowing that even in Ashlands there are recipes that need iron. You are correct though, if I need more in the future I certainly know how to get it! Thank you!

That is the right answer! :)

Fish and chips would be awesome! Ahh, the English language! Jetty would be correct! Teleporting everything is nice, I'll save that for next time I think. I did make a concession as some stage during this series. I dropped the death penalty a notch or two. The skill point loss for dying generally messes with the end game unless you spend the time Re-grinding the skill points back up. That is the extra time I didn't want to be wasting. Thanks for the feedback and for watching!! :) :) :)

Thank you! It has been going great! :)

Season 2 is under way! The first couple episodes of season 2 are already live with more scheduled every few days. Enjoy! :)

Thank you!! It did take a while. The gathering of resources is the biggest time sink unfortunately! I have more episodes coming!! I recorded over 10hrs of Valheim last weekend (yeah... wet weekend.. what are you going to do!?!... lol), I'm in the process of creating episodes for release twice a week. Action a plenty is on it's way! :)

Interesting you should ask... I put a video out today that shows my current progress with my base. :) I don't put a lot of planning into my bases, it is more of a go with your gut approach.
