A tip: when fighting a troll early here something you might wanna do:Have the crude bow at least level 2(higher the better), have flinthead or preferably fire arrows,have the rested buff(honestly this buff is op you should have it up in every biome and it's really easy just plop a campfire down and rest as long it's not raining),eat 2 stamina rich foods and 1 health (2 stamina and 1 health is the combination I prefer when exploring or using the bow, the combination that I thing is the best early is cooked deer meat,honey and raspberries, if you have glowing mushrooms replace the raspberries.Happy hunting!

Yes, just kiting him around with a bow and arrows, plenty of stamina. It's not too hard to dodge his smashing blows or rock throws. Stamina and plenty of arrows is the key.

Yesterday i went into the black forest for the first time. I strolled around and then saw a Log-Troll maybe 20 metres away between some trees... almost shat my pants. 🤣 Then dug a hole, lured him in and killed him with arrows. 💪🏼

31:00 Bronze Armor is a trap. It's BARELY more armor than upgraded Troll Leather, eats up a TON of precious Bronze, plus it slows you way down, AND there's no Set Bonus like the Troll Armor has. It's a hard pass unless you really love the look or are some sort of the grind-happy, crazy completionist. 37:15 It's better to use Stake Walls since they don't degrade in the rain (and their height protects you from stuff like Skelly archers and Greydorf rocks). You'll need a bit more wood for each Stake Wall section, but it's totally worth it. Install a Wood Gate or two for easy access to your crops. 41:15 If you haven't killed Eikthyr a second time and hung his severed trophy head over your Bed or main hall's door, you are not yet a true Viking. Fun fact: Boss Heads and caught Fish that are hung from Item Stands have... additional effects. 45:30 Aside from the pointy bit on the ground, the front side of the Portal has Runes engraved in it, the back side is just plain wood. 56:00 Not true. Fire damage does NOT stack. The damage over time is based on how hard the initial hit was, and each time you re-apply it, the new debuff overrides the old one. This means that if you shoot something from Stealth, your fire damage will be huge - but if you get impatient and shoot again before it wears off, you'll replace the boosted stealth-shot fire with normal, low-damage fire. All that said, for the Elder it won't matter all that much since all your shots are going to do roughly the same amount of damage, so overriding the debuff is basically the same as extending it. But the fire-damage-over-time is NOT going to ramp up if you shoot him with Fire Arrows more frequently. 56:30 You can ALSO fight the Elder the same way you do Trolls - get up close, dodge roll or Parry his Stomp attack, and use your Bronze Axe - which he's weak to! - to get some good damage in. When he summons the tentacle roots, sprint to the other corner of his platform, hide behind a pillar in case he shoots vines at you, fire off a few arrows until he moves out of the roots (or they go poof), then get the axe back out and go back in. Admittedly, this method is almost inarguably more dangerous than sniping him with a billion Fire Arrows while hiding behind cover, but it's good practice for some of the tougher monsters you're going to be facing in future Biomes, where you won't always have cover or super-effective arrows handy. Great video overall! Solid tips for going from Caveman to Bronze-clad Viking Warrior.

Awesome! Glad to hear it!! Spread the word 😉 Welcome to Valheim!!

A helpful tip since I noticed your Elder fight went on for a while: the pillars by the altar are indestructible. Fighting the Elder at range is easy by los'ing (line of sight) his vine attack behind a pillar. Once he spawns roots, simply rotate to another pillar. Also, if you prefer melee, you can safely parry his stomp attack with a level 2 bronze buckler or higher. While all bosses are immune to stagger, this keeps you in melee range for immediate counter attack and significantly reduces the damage to an acceptable number (provided you are using best foods available at the time). Even if you miss a block, los the Elder around pillars until you are ready to get back to it. Good luck on the future videos!

Can I offer some suggestions? 1. Scout the area thoroughly. Mark all copper and tin deposits and all burial chambers. Maybe raid the chambers and take a little tin, but don't mine the copper yet. Grab all the blueberries, thistles, red and yellow mushrooms, and carrot seeds you can find. Once you have it mapped, decide where to mine. Ideally, the first mine is close to base. It is also great to find multiple copper clumped together and awesome if they are near a seacoast. 2. At your copper mine, build a stake wall palisade all the way around it to keep the dwarves away. Dig around the copper to expose it fully. Copper deposits are very deep. You can get sheltered under an overhang, so build a fire to renew rested buff. 3. Use a portal to take all the stone from your mine back to base. You will be able to use it after you get iron to build in masonry. 4. After your first couple excavations, you can get your cart and karve and go nuts on digging.

The best tip for bronze age is: craft a bronze mace, sword(or spear), buckler and pickaxe, upgrade the buckler and the pickaxe to max lvl(skip bronze armor), craft troll armor, learn to parry and the troll attack timings and obliterate them with parries, once you get the timings right even 2 or 3 at the same time are no match for you. Also, grow carrots, plant 50 to get 150 so you have enough till the next harvest. try not to use either raspberries or blueberries, you are gonna need them later so forage as much as you can now for these and shrooms eat honey instead.

Only thing you need is the Bronze axe otherwise skip it and move on to Iron.The Troll armor should carry you to the Swamp and through it if you know what your doing. One key I can share is to take out Swamp spawners with your bow you can always find an angle and it will take 4-5 arrows depending on skill. If you happen to find a sertling spawner kill off the few and then dig all around it so they will die everytime they spawn.Then you can use that fire spawner to bait the Abominations over it and it will burn and kill them. At night the phantom ghosts will spawn or hover up high you want that because they drop chains.

hello, i'm back :) i haven't gotten around to doing this one but i'll try to leave more tips than last time. if you don't have a black forest nearby (which you should take into account when finding a base location, but don't build too close to it), sailing is usually the better option, as you can gather your mined ores into one chest near the boat and swim while being encumbered. this'll make getting ALL your resources back to your base in one trip. trolls are one of the scariest mobs to encounter early game so yea, i would just run and not even attempt to fight one if i'm spotted, and they can move pretty fast as well but you can just outwalk them funny enough. if you don't have at least bronze armor and a buckler, you can be dead in a few hits if you're not careful. stamina is VERY important but if you keep your distance and have enough arrows, you can kill a troll. by this point in the game, you should definitely have honey, deer meat, and boar meat for your foods. tin can be found near ANY body of water in the black forest. you'll need quite a bit more than you think. cauldron, butcher knife, armor upgrades, armor crafting, the fermenter uses tin or bronze. i've found a majority of copper deposits to be larger than they look. the largest copper node i've found has given me at least 5 stacks of copper, though i don't remember the exact amount. so if you don't see any other copper nodes nearby, always dig around your first node a bit! also a small tip, always make a shed building just big enough for a workbench. 4 walls and 2 corner roof pieces are enough to allow access for repairs. a chest or 2 for storage and a fire nearby to have the rested buff are nice to have, as having the rested buff allows your stamina to recharge faster, as well as much higher health regen when your food buffs are full and you're sitting down. burial chambers are essential for progression. you need to be really careful in these areas because you can easily die. the chamber is randomly generated so you can get a lot of cores or none at all. each path has the potential to lead to multiple more paths, creating a maze-like area. you need to conserve stamina in these narrow halls because you could walk into an area with a spawner. the most dangerous enemies in this area in my OPINION are the rancid remains and the GHOSTS. the rancid remains can poison you with its hits and do a lot of damage with each hit. they can also be found at 1-star and 2-star, making them significantly more dangerous. same for skeletons, but if you find a 1-star or 2-star archer skeleton, just run..there's no killing it because they can and will 1 shot you at this stage. if you get overwhelmed by a bunch of mobs, feel free to run back to the entrance and they won't be able to reach you on the slope with some weird exceptions. don't forget all the other loot while you're in there! not much to say about the smelting and weapon/armor crafting so i'm just going to say that this was another really well made guide for the black forest! chest storage can be made a lot more compact by stacking chests on top of each other with the use of the 1x1 floor pieces and turned sideways so that you're interacting with the side of the chest. movement speed penalty can be avoided by unequipping chest and pants and keeping your helmet/cape equipped. i recommend not making the bronze pickaxe because the antler pickaxe can carry you through to the swamp. bronze pickaxe isn't needed for anything that the antler can break. cooking food is fun, queen is my jam. karve is recommended to make ASAP, probably while you're first collecting copper/tin and surtling cores if you wanna spend a bit extra time. with boats, you can basically sail ALMOST entirely against the wind..the yellow area dictates where the wind will be going against your boat. you can be on the edge of the black part, where the wind will be fully against you and you won't be able to have the sails down. farming is also recommended to start the moment you make your cultivator because it'll allow you to start taming boars, as well as making much better foods with carrots. i'd tell you to turn the majority of your carrots back into seeds and once you've gotten a good amount of carrots going, you can start doing a 50/50, where you keep half of the carrots, and then turn the other half into seeds. fermenting takes 48 hours of INGAME time, not real life..missed a needed footnote there. the elder can be a pain because of everything that's going on. he has a melee attack, a ranged attack and he'll summon vines up from the ground and if you get too close, you'll start taking a LOT of damage. fire arrows are definitely VERY helpful in this fight. be on the move constantly but also conserve your stamina whenever possible and use the pillars as cover too. not much else to say about this boss fight except that it's very annoying. this has been a much longer comment than the last time haha. i'm very passionate about this game even though i don't play it a lot. i love valheim a lot and it's one of my most favorite games currently. i'm sorry if these are too long to read but i love helping new players as well and passing on what i know since i've been playing the game on and off since it released. hope this helps you and whoever else decides to read these very long comments

Oh man, sorry to hear! Ghosts are nasty. They’re also kind of rare. They don’t drop anything and I believe are only found in those burial grounds. So basically they’re worthless for anything other than ruining your run.

I have this huge chunk of copper I spent 30 minutes mining to expand it. (Hitting the dirt next to the copper exposes more copper, haven't hit a limit on how large you can make it) and after all that work two trolls wandered over and made that chunk of copper home. One is a one star so I'm going to need to probably get to the next area before I can come back and deal with them. So annoying. And in bronze armor you can't out run them so I have to avoid that section of my starter island. Still have another 3rd of the forest to hunt for copper in but still.

That’s actually a great question! You only need the roof to use the table directly, like to make a tool or weapon. It just needs to be in the vicinity of where you’re building if you’re going to craft structures. Make sense?

@gamestar.nation

Жыл бұрын

@@brianwharton6153 Alright Brian, let me help you out. [SPOILER WARNING]. The best place to find iron is in the 'Sunken Crypts' in the swamp biome. The crypts are small stone buildings with a locked iron gate. You will need the swamp key dropped by the elder boss (black forest) to open them. Inside you will find piles of muck that, if you mine, you will get tons of scrap iron. Smelt these to get iron ingots. Iron is much easier to get than bronze. You can mind these muck piles outside of the crypts, but they are buriend randomly throughout the swamp and can be hard to find. You will battle many Draugr though. To survive, use level 3/4 troll armor (for agility), a bronze shield, [bronze helm is optional] and a bronze mace. Timing your parry is very important. You want to initiate your block the moment the draugr begins it's swing. This will parry the draugr, stunning it momentarily and allowing you to do critical damage. Using special attack helps when draugr is stunned. Take your time and wittle the draugr down. Alternatively, you can craft and use an atgeir, instead of a mace and shield. The special attack of the atgeir will whirlwind attack any mobs around you and push them away while stunning them. Perfect weapon for the swamps. Good luck!

@gamestar.nation

Жыл бұрын

I'm so sorry for the delayed response! I planned on making a quick video to answer this question but it has yet to see the light of day. Swamps are really tough early on and you really want to creep around unseen as often as possible, in the early stages at least. Use the troll armor to stay light on your feet but use the entire set to get the stealth bonus. Bring lots of arrows and have at very least the finewood bow. Eat quality foods with a good amount of stam, but I recommend leaning heavy on health over stam until you are more geared and comfortable with the swamp denizens. Also, bring a leveled bronze buckler and I recommend using a bronze mace. Most of the mobs of the swamp have a weakness to blunt damage. Only go in the daytime. Bring a hoe and flatted paths through the pools of water everywhere. Sneak around and plink off the draugrs and slimes from afar with your bow. When you get in to a sunken crypt using the swamp key, use ledges and obstacles to give you an advantage against any mobs inside. You can often dig just a chunk of muck out of the passageways inside and shoot the mobs through it when they cant even get to you. You can make short work of draugrs by parrying their attacks and then wailing on them with the mace. Just go cautiously and keep the monsters at a distance whenever possible. Good luck! (assuming you haven't already conquered the swamps by now)

Should have used the ability on the ogre.60% more stam.

If you get sick of trying to get cores in the Black Forest, and can find a swamp, search the swamp by walking around it's perimeter, looking for a fire geyser. These spawn elementals that have a good chance of dropping surtling cores. You can then run a daylight raid on the geyser; killing the surtlings from afar and then running in to grab the cores that drop. Sometimes cores are just laying around the geyser. If you are sneaky and do it in the daytime, it's fairly safe... fairly.
