The Complete Beginner's Guide To VALHEIM Series [Noob? Start Here] #1
This video acts as a starter guide for Valheim. It is the first video in a series covering everything you need to know to get started in Valheim. Including hunting, building, gearing up, what to look for in the starter zone and how to prepare and defeat the first boss.
This video does not cover everything there is to know about the game, but rather, everything you need to know about Valheim.
Valheim is an amazing and fun survival game (one of the best), but it is not very self-explanatory. In this video, I'll take you through the ins and outs of the starting biome (the meadows) and tell you everything you need to know in order to have a success start in this awesome game.
I cover a ton of info and share a few tips so that, by the end of the video, you are well on your way to carving out your own kingdom. There is more to cover and I will be following this video up with more videos in the future. So make sure you are subscribed to the channel!
Don't be put off by the length of this video, it should be well worth your time to watch. If you can't get it all at once, just save it to your watch list and come back to it whenever you have the time. The video took a very long time to produce, so I hope you enjoy it. Let me know by leaving a like and, if you'd be so kind, leave me a comment with your thoughts or questions on it. I look forward to hearing from you!
This is the 1st video in my series, 'The Complete Beginner's Guide To Valheim'.

Make a hammer, drop a workbench and deconstruct the building pieces attached to the beehive and it'll fall to the ground.

Note: that giant bird isn't a valkyrie. That's actually Hugin, one of 2 of Odin's main patron Ravens. ( Odin is also known as the Raven God) They can travel freely between realms, and Odin uses them as his eyes in the skies so to speak.

What is the link to the intro supposed to mean? That doesn't prove anything except that you really don't know. @Darren Hurst is completely right. The player character are the valkyries referenced in the intro not the ravens. Anybody that's looked into Odin's lore for less than 5 minutes would get this. Are you gonna correct your subscribers so nonchalantly like that, without even checking if your right first? Edit: and to be even more correct with norse mythology the valkyrie would be spirits watching over the einherjar (fallen warriors) that Odin sent to conquer various lands. Valheim being the setting of the game and unique to it. Hugin and Mugin are Odin's ravens, look em up. P.S Useful guide btw

This might fall on deaf ears idk but i think the birds are actually supposed to be Valkyries, but visually their design in the game seem to take inspiration from and old swedish kids movie called "Ronja Rövardotter". In this movie they are just monsters, but the similarity is striking. (google: "Vildvittror Ronja Rövardotter" and see for yourself (= I think this is pretty likely as the game is published by a swedish company (Coffee Stain Studios) and there are several other callbacks to swedish culture in the game; Midsommer hats, neck, maypole and so on.... My guess is that the "tutorial bird" is one of Odins ravens, i could be wrong though.

@@Chonk666 Ah, that's so cool! I knew the valkyrie looked familiar, but I just couldn't put my finger on why! They scared me half to death as a kid "Nu skal blodet flyta!"😆 I don't know what Darren and the Proffessor are talking about, but they are just flat-out wrong. The tutorial ravens are _explicitly labelled_ as Hugin and Munin. Nor is the player character a valkyrie; though you spend your time in Valheim doing many chores, escorting slain warriors to the afterlife is not one of them. There is someone who does this, though: the bird-lady from the intro. She brings your slain body to the 10th world to fight on Odin's behalf. Ergo, she is a valkyrie, and you are an einheri. This is obvious to anyone who 1) knows the old Norse stories 2) has basic reading comprehension, and 3) _actually watched the dang intro._

I don’t disagree at all. That’s how I approached the game myself. The best part to me was finding a new item to get a new recipe [hopefully]. Then I had my daughter come to me because she had no idea what to do. It was when I jumped in her world to show her that I realized how much there was to know if you had no idea where to start. That’s why I decided to make these deep tutorials. I just don’t want people to miss out on this great game because it fails to explain itself. 🤷♂️

Big like to this video. Very few content creators know how to make a good noob guide. Oftentimes it seems like they are more interested in flexing their knowledge of niche or overly-specific details beyond the need-to-know of fresh beginners, than they are of stating and restating the fundamentals until it sticks. Clearly you put thought into the mind of a new player, and executed the video in a highly effective show-not-tell way. Well done!

This video is great. I feel like the negative comments are shill/fans of bigger KZreadrs that make Valheim content. All tutorials have a bunch of talking. And you did just fine explaining beginner tips for Valheim. Keep doing your thing. The only critique I would imagine the haters are alluding to is cutting down the video via editing and punching in your voice over to save time for the viewer( although this takes more time from you). To remedy that on our end would be to just watch the video at a faster playback speed. Thank you for your tutorial!

I've handled my campaign almost exclusively on my own so far. Taking it slow, a few dozen hours in, just got my iron set and some decent weapons. Two very firm lessons the game has taught multiple times now are these: Always stay alert, and never get complacent. I don't know if its just my luck, but Valheim seems to know when I'm getting cocky and has never failed to capitalize on that. It always winds up some nightmarish curve ball and I've been put in some deep holes because of it; I'd honestly love to join a Discord just so I can share the horror stories.That aside, this is one of the most addicting games I've played in quite some time and I don't regret a minute of it.

This answered a ton of questions i had. Thanks!!! One question I had was this: Do animals have specific spawn areas or areas where they graze? And if so do the stock of animals keep replenishing there? I'm asking because I'm starting to see I'm gonna need to kill a lot of boars for leather strips. I have my house on a hill overlooking an open field where boars frequent. If I were to slaughter the boar one by one, do they replenish, or would I need to go out and find more boars? In newer areas? Same with deer. I found an area where deer are but unfortunately I scared them off. Will they come back to that area? Thanks. Loved the video as I just started playing right when it came onto xbox games pass. Subbed and liked. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

Great question and one I over-looked! Animals will respawn and deer you scare off will rotate back once they calm down. When it comes to boars specifically, there are rune stones you'll find with writing on them that will speak of the boars. These are boar spawn stones. Boars will respawn near these stones [once a day, I believe] and then slowly wander out in to the wilderness. [Spoiler] You can eventually tame wolves. Once you do, you may find them chasing off deer into the wilderness and not return. Don't worry if/when this happens. Your own animals never despawn (but can die).

You can upgrade the leather armor and shield, eat good food and stand toe-to-toe with him. Just run away from him if your health drops too low. He’s not too mean. If you get a chance, let me know how the fight goes. Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope the video helps. Good luck 🍀👍
Just a tiny quibble: that ain't no beehive, it is a paper wasp nest! Honey bees are cavity nesters and NEVER make those big exposed nests. Hope the developers fix this common misconception, which creates issues in the real world for wasps and honey bees!!

Welcome to Valheim!
It's worth telling new folks that Plains are to be given a wide berth. On Day 5 or so, if you run a little bit into Mountain to collect a deer or whatever, you see the freezing and leave. The problem with Plains is that it looks like a savanna version of Meadows. Good visibility, hey, why not land the raft and look around a little?

Just bought the game earlier today...man, I shoulda picked this up ages ago. Think I'm gonna save this video so I can refer back to it later. Also, the Greylings crack me up. Little buggers will run up to me, slap me once and then run off. It's like they want to play tag, and then I break the rules by killing them.

😂 The greylings are fun/funny at first, but I'm at a point where I want to find and annihilate every last one of them. I'm so tired of finding one banging on my smelter or slapping my hand while I'm trying to put the finishing touch on a build project. Annoying little buggers. Valheim is among the best survival crafters out there though. Glad to hear you're enjoying it!

@@gamestar.nation welp, now that I've ventured into the black forest biome, I hate the greylings. Or rather, their slightly tougher cousins. But the trolls are worse. I was outside my base, just lining my walls with spike traps. I turn the camera slightly and I see a troll _right behind me._ Didn't even hear the damn thing and it scared the absolute shit out of me.

@@samvimes9510 lol, I can relate 100%. To be honest, the trolls are what won me over. The first time I played I was wandering aimlessly through the meadows when I came over a hill and saw a big hairy blue giant standing in a field looking out in to the distance. I was absolutely amazed. Then I saw him reach down and grab what I could only imagine was a small animal and toss it in his mouth. I realized real quick I would be next if he saw me. I sprinted home to my pathetic shaky little hut and slammed the door behind me, relieved he didn't follow. "Wholly sh!t... this game is AWESOME!"

It’s an exploration game. The entire game is based on finding new items to make new items. Your food buff determines your health and stamina. You can have 3 buffs at once, but only one from each food type. You need an axe to cut down trees (doubles as a weapon) and a hammer to build. Using the hammer, build a workbench then build a house. Then put the workbench in the house and interact with it. The rest is hunting and finding new things. This video just gets specific about what to look for. Good luck 👍
So i got Valheim a couple of days ago and I was just really lost on what to do and honestly was abit put off by the game, Let's see if this helps :)
