Easiest method to kill a bear: Get flare pistol Let it charge Wait until it's around 20ft away from you Boop it in the face with the flare. It's scary, but works every time if you don't mess up your shot or forget to load the round in the pistol.

That's certainly one way, though not very safe if you miss, and certainly not cheap as there are limited flare rounds in the world. This also depends on having found the flare gun.

These things happen. I'm working on getting a Valkyrie trophy so ballistae on the roof can be targeted, but until then I'll have to depend on workbenches surrounding the neighborhood and my own ability to take them down fast with magic. I did have one attack a much smaller build I had in another keep, and the damage was pretty negligible. Between my attacks and the spikes on the keep tower, the Valkyrie went down pretty fast and all that got destroyed was a workbench sitting at the base of the keep. But, in the end, it's a game and any rebuilding will be just as much fun as the first time I put it up. :) Update: Pulled a full-health Valkyrie onto the fort. I have a one-star Asksvin up top, plus 6 ballistae set to Valkyries. Final loss was 3 decorative charred beams from under the top floor, and 75% of the lizard's health. And a torch. She dropped pretty fast from just the Ask's attacks and the ballistae. 8 missiles fired total between them. It was a non-event. Minor repairs after just topping up all the build pieces and replacing the 3 decorative beams. 9/10.

If you remove all the black marble pieces with the hammer, the remaining pieces will fall down much quicker. I also like to launch some fireballs at the middle of the "T" of the iron rebar structure, which also helps with the remaining pieces collapsing faster. And are you sure that damaged pieces drop less parts then ones with full health? Never heard that before, and mining with a pickaxe is also just applying damage to it.
@aceofbasesOG2 ай бұрын
I'm careful not to be too sure of anything when making a video, as things change with patches, mods, etc. I do remember early in my Valheim playing that deconstructing a damaged floor outside in the weather at 50% would return less resources than a floor at 100% from inside. Of course, since then there have been many updates, patches, and I've started using mods like ValheimPlus, which can all affect that equation. I'm pretty certain that at some point I turned on 100% resource return, probably in VPlus, so, in my case, I get everything back. However, I'm presuming that someone who is playing Vanilla might get back less on damaged parts, so I mentioned it and was deliberate to say that I wasn't sure. :) Great tip with the fireballs to hasten the collapse. Thank you for sharing it!

Once you reach Ashlands and acquire Flametal, you get a new, more efficient method of harvesting most resources: the Battering Ram. It can destroy rocks, ore nodes, ancient armors and weapons, black marble and grausten structures and more - pretty much anything that isn't a tree or a monster. It also cannot affect terrain, unlike the pickaxe, which makes it ideal for this type of harvesting. It doesn't require a stonecutter or a forge table, only a workbench - and it's wood fired! Don't forget that the Jotun bones yield black marble, too - the ribcages are a great and easy source of black marble but don't yield iron.
@aceofbasesOG2 ай бұрын
I do like the battering ram, but mostly for ruins. Very effective way to break them down for a great amount of Grausten, somewhat quickly. For the viaducts I think the hammer is the way to go because of the ease of tossing down a stonecutter and middle-clicking a few blocks. Sometimes, as in the video, the terrain is much less conducive to wheeling the battering ram around. I play with a few mods as well, so everyone's experience may be different. For Grausten, I break the big rocks with a pickaxe, as I use the TopMining mod. This breaks rocks from the bottom up, so no digging in the terrain. Also, when the rock is broken high enough to clear the dirt, the entire thing collapses with one final hit. It leaves a very clean site, as the ground terrain is left completely untouched. It takes about 4 minutes to break a huge rock completely and yields about 2 stacks more than a full cart and inventory carry. I usually have to run back to bring back the final bits in a second trip. You have definitely made me start thinking about the battering ram vs previously indestructible objects, though. The plains towers? That might be an awesome way to get stone and iron, iirc the contents. Also the plains rock pillars. I'll test those today. Thank you for the tip! Update: The beserker tower is still invincible even to the battering ram. It could've been awesome. As for stone pillars in the plains, I'd forgotten they are normally breakable stone. However, unexpectedly, they also float in the air. I wasn't able to get it to explode from gravity until it was destroyed about halfway up to the top. It also netted only around ~325 stone, which is less than I expected. Good times trying stuff out. Thanks again for the ideas!

What i do is goat a ledge high enough that the bear cant access. He runs around. (You need two expedition parkas to not rush the process due to temperature. but they make needing bear hides worthless unless youre looking for the armor boost.) You can wait awhile or just redo the process but make sure you're guaranteed to get back to the ledge.

My experience is that when you shoot an animal and they can't path to you, they turn and run away most of the time, which means tracking them. I'll use the ledge when I just need the bear or wolf to go away, but for dropping them right next to a base this seems to work the best for me. Your results may vary, of course. Happy hunting!

There is a funny place to get the bear repeat the process of running at you and getting discouraged with inaccessibility to you. It is inside the terrace with a door.

@aceofbasesOG7 ай бұрын
I like that porch, and I've used it, but there's the risk of another mechanic coming into play, in my experience. If you can see/shoot the bear, but he can't path to you, he goes into flee mode. This is most noticeable on a rock ledge that you dropped onto from above. He doesn't see the path to you, since he's not able to walk over edges, but you can shoot him from there. Porch is the same setup. So, when using the porch, I found that it was likely that he'd suddenly bolt off across the map, and now I'm tracking him and hoping the trail doesn't get lost, and then I'm shuffling all that meat back in a couple trips past wolfpacks. The first time I did the porch it worked perfectly, but I was never able to repeat it reliably and gave it up for the car, which is 100%. Happy hunting!

I'd imagine there is impact damage, then a bleed-out DOT. Certainly if I shoot him in the face multiple times as he runs at me, he will die faster than he'd normally bleed out, so the subsequent shots must be doing something more than applying the DOT again.

Between my attacks and the spikes on the keep tower, the Valkyrie went down pretty fast and all that got destroyed was a workbench sitting at the base of the keep. But, in the end, it's a game and any rebuilding will be just as much fun as the first time I put it up. :) Update: Pulled a full-health Valkyrie onto the fort. I have a one-star Asksvin up top, plus 6 ballistae set to Valkyries. Final loss was 3 decorative charred beams from under the top floor, and 75% of the lizard's health. And a torch. She dropped pretty fast from just the Ask's attacks and the ballistae. 8 missiles fired total between them. It was a non-event. Minor repairs after just topping up all the build pieces and replacing the 3 decorative beams. 9/10.
Glad to see that some people are using the fortresses as a base or atleast on how to turn one into a base ✌🏽✌🏽
I just couldn't pass it up, given how perfectly everything fits. In any game I play that has ruins or abandoned structures, I try and repurpose them before building from scratch. Thanks for the comment!
If you remove all the black marble pieces with the hammer, the remaining pieces will fall down much quicker. I also like to launch some fireballs at the middle of the "T" of the iron rebar structure, which also helps with the remaining pieces collapsing faster. And are you sure that damaged pieces drop less parts then ones with full health? Never heard that before, and mining with a pickaxe is also just applying damage to it.
I'm careful not to be too sure of anything when making a video, as things change with patches, mods, etc. I do remember early in my Valheim playing that deconstructing a damaged floor outside in the weather at 50% would return less resources than a floor at 100% from inside. Of course, since then there have been many updates, patches, and I've started using mods like ValheimPlus, which can all affect that equation. I'm pretty certain that at some point I turned on 100% resource return, probably in VPlus, so, in my case, I get everything back. However, I'm presuming that someone who is playing Vanilla might get back less on damaged parts, so I mentioned it and was deliberate to say that I wasn't sure. :) Great tip with the fireballs to hasten the collapse. Thank you for sharing it!
My first thought when you were in the car and he was outside was "Roll the window down!!" :D :D *immersion* Nice video!
D'oh! I removed the car battery to make ammo otherwise this is a great idea! :P
Once you reach Ashlands and acquire Flametal, you get a new, more efficient method of harvesting most resources: the Battering Ram. It can destroy rocks, ore nodes, ancient armors and weapons, black marble and grausten structures and more - pretty much anything that isn't a tree or a monster. It also cannot affect terrain, unlike the pickaxe, which makes it ideal for this type of harvesting. It doesn't require a stonecutter or a forge table, only a workbench - and it's wood fired! Don't forget that the Jotun bones yield black marble, too - the ribcages are a great and easy source of black marble but don't yield iron.
I do like the battering ram, but mostly for ruins. Very effective way to break them down for a great amount of Grausten, somewhat quickly. For the viaducts I think the hammer is the way to go because of the ease of tossing down a stonecutter and middle-clicking a few blocks. Sometimes, as in the video, the terrain is much less conducive to wheeling the battering ram around. I play with a few mods as well, so everyone's experience may be different. For Grausten, I break the big rocks with a pickaxe, as I use the TopMining mod. This breaks rocks from the bottom up, so no digging in the terrain. Also, when the rock is broken high enough to clear the dirt, the entire thing collapses with one final hit. It leaves a very clean site, as the ground terrain is left completely untouched. It takes about 4 minutes to break a huge rock completely and yields about 2 stacks more than a full cart and inventory carry. I usually have to run back to bring back the final bits in a second trip. You have definitely made me start thinking about the battering ram vs previously indestructible objects, though. The plains towers? That might be an awesome way to get stone and iron, iirc the contents. Also the plains rock pillars. I'll test those today. Thank you for the tip! Update: The beserker tower is still invincible even to the battering ram. It could've been awesome. As for stone pillars in the plains, I'd forgotten they are normally breakable stone. However, unexpectedly, they also float in the air. I wasn't able to get it to explode from gravity until it was destroyed about halfway up to the top. It also netted only around ~325 stone, which is less than I expected. Good times trying stuff out. Thanks again for the ideas!
this video is so good. i love valheim now
There is plenty to love, for sure! Thank you for the compliment. :)
Really nice build, great video!
Thank you!
The best part about this game, is that darned Windows watermark is practically invisible when you are outside (i have the watermark)
Yeah, that's the ticket! Exactly. I just never noticed it! Totally...
Thanks I, tired but thanks
:)
there is a bug if u shoot a bear from long range and he rans just enter in a safe house and later go see his dead body
I started giggling when the porcupine was very close to you.
It's a good thing he doesn't know how to open a car door. Nomnomnom
I did 2 successfully kills with a single shot with the rifle each time at the hunters cabin at mystery lake. Made my shot, went inside and slept over night and he is laying dead outside. The second time, I witnessed him just plop over dead as I exited the cabin.
That's a good strategy that's worked for me as well, though I haven't had 100% success rate with it. Better than 50%, I believe.
What i do is goat a ledge high enough that the bear cant access. He runs around. (You need two expedition parkas to not rush the process due to temperature. but they make needing bear hides worthless unless youre looking for the armor boost.) You can wait awhile or just redo the process but make sure you're guaranteed to get back to the ledge.
My experience is that when you shoot an animal and they can't path to you, they turn and run away most of the time, which means tracking them. I'll use the ledge when I just need the bear or wolf to go away, but for dropping them right next to a base this seems to work the best for me. Your results may vary, of course. Happy hunting!
Thanks for this video, maybe I'll last longer on a run now 😂😊
Well, you'll hopefully be fat on predator meat, at least! Good luck, and thanks for the comment.
If you Activate Windows you can just shoot him while you're in the car.
Lol. Great tip!
This works because TLD gives cooking XP per piece cooked, rather than per kg or by cooking time.
Thanks for the trick!
Thanks for the comment. Glad it was helpful!
Much prefer just shooting a bear next to a fire then waiting an hour or two till he drops dead right infront of me and the fire lol
Thanks for the tip Matthew McConaughey!! 😁😁
If only we made similar income. Happy hunting!
Dude did you activate windows yet?
LOL. :) Probably get around to that next week. Maybe when this video hits 20k views. Thanks for making me laugh!
u couldve easily taken a follow up shot. I do 2 during the charge cheeze him out somehow then try to hit a headshot
Can do multiple shots for sure, but risky with little reward. One shot is really enough, as conservation of materials is big on the harder difficulties. Didn't want to risk having the video end with a bear mauling, so played it safe for the purposes of the video. Enjoy!
@@aceofbasesOG Fair enough.
There is a funny place to get the bear repeat the process of running at you and getting discouraged with inaccessibility to you. It is inside the terrace with a door. You let the outside door open and lean against the farmstead door(left edge works best for me). You can just pass the time or study while the bleeding bear runs back and forth.
I like that porch, and I've used it, but there's the risk of another mechanic coming into play, in my experience. If you can see/shoot the bear, but he can't path to you, he goes into flee mode. This is most noticeable on a rock ledge that you dropped onto from above. He doesn't see the path to you, since he's not able to walk over edges, but you can shoot him from there. Porch is the same setup. So, when using the porch, I found that it was likely that he'd suddenly bolt off across the map, and now I'm tracking him and hoping the trail doesn't get lost, and then I'm shuffling all that meat back in a couple trips past wolfpacks. The first time I did the porch it worked perfectly, but I was never able to repeat it reliably and gave it up for the car, which is 100%. Happy hunting!
The thumbnail be like: "run that fucker over lmao"
That was awsome
Thank you. Hope it was helpful. :)
крысиная тактика )))
This works but you can also just build a fire and stand behind it. It will charge then stop 3 ft away and stare at you. You will have an easy shot to the head
I'll have to play around with this a little more sometime. Feels like I've tried that once before and the bear went right over the fire and ate my eyeballs, but perhaps that behavior has been tweaked and I never tried it again because, well, the first time was painful enough. :)
Once you get a headshot theres no point in shooting anymore arrows. While you can get a crit its like a 15% chance with a headshot and if you hit a limb it will swap the bleedout to that timer and take longer.
I prefer just one arrow as opposed to a follow up or other shots; but I mostly play in other areas because there’s less places for the bear to go. With maybe the exception of Forsaken Airfield, there is not another region this size - with big game/dangerous game that is.
Well, sure. One arrow or revolver bullet is the way to go, depending on difficulty. I used multiple shots to shorten the video. Happy hunting!
@@aceofbasesOG as my knowledge goes shooting the bear won't kill him quicker (i mean yeah there's the crit chance) because the bleedout will reset if you hit a different spot Like let's say that you hit the Bear with a headshot the bleedout time will be 45mins But if you shoot the same bear again with a body shot the bleedout will be an hour (all made up times)
@@Whiterunguard455 My experience thus far (full disclosure, haven't played in a year+, easily so things may have changed) is that multiple shots will drop the bear quicker, not due to bleed-out but rather due to damage from the projectile itself at impact. I'd imagine there is impact damage, then a bleed-out DOT. Certainly if I shoot him in the face multiple times as he runs at me, he will die faster than he'd normally bleed out, so the subsequent shots must be doing something more than applying the DOT again. Regardless, normally in a stalker run, I'd use 1 arrow and then just wait for the DOT to do the rest.
@@aceofbasesOG interesting to know thanks!
Thanks for the tip!
I'm glad it was helpful. Keep on surviving. And nomming fresh bear meat.
Thank you for this video, i was trying figure the range out myself and came across this video. Was a big help for my crafting area layouts now. Thanks again
Thanks for the comment! Glad it was helpful. It definitely took some trial and error to find all the nuances.
Best and safe way to kill a bear is with a flare gun. Usually only takes one shot, and even if you miss he'll run away
The flare gun makes a great emergency bear gun, but in a long run game, arrows or revolver bullets are far more plentiful. No doubt the flare gun is a beautiful choice when you forget you're in a bear spawn area and come around a tree to a bear 20 feet away.
But there is that small risk of you shooting a little bit high and Bear won't die And it won't scare him
All guns cause bleeding, and will kill any animal other than a moose with enough time after a shot. You can just shoot a bear and prevent it mauling you with a campfire.
To be honest I never waste more than 1 shot. I would have gone inside the car pass 1 or 2 hour and gone out to some quartering
I'll typically do a single shot, then pop in and out of the car until he drops right there. No tracking, with potential loss of the trail, and the net time and calories expended is, I think, less than the track and quarter method. Plus, less exposure to other risks while shuffling all the meat across the map.
@@aceofbasesOG how do you get the hunting knife?
@@ChristopherWinchIt appears randomly in some locations, search the maps in Google and you'll find some of them
@@ChristopherWinch That's a great question for Google. There are a number of places on every map where the knife can spawn, as well as the materials to make your own.
If you wait an hour or two in the open he may disappear.
If there's no car around you can dance around a tree with the bear until you get a kill shot, a little more dangerous but I find myself doing that more often than not.
Yes, definitely a bit riskier, that one. :)
@@aceofbasesOG lol I like the car trick too but there's not always one around when I usually stumble across a bear, plenty of trees tho!
I play custom also and i have day 33
