![]() Of important note is the fact that you can repair any and all of your gear at your crafting stations in Valheim at no resource cost, so take advantage of this to get the most out of your weapons, armor, and tools. Once you have a bow, arrows are easy to craft with wood, so make yourself a nice stack of 50 to 100. It takes some getting used to, but practice using your shield, it will pay off. Many enemies can kill you in just a few hits, even with some good food in your system, and blocking can prevent much or all of the damage of a timed swing. You want to prioritize making the bow, but I also can’t stress enough how good shields and blocking are in Valheim. With leather scraps, we can make a multitude of useful goodies at the crafting table, including a shield and a bow. They also drop your first important resource, leather scraps. Head outside and let's kill some boars! You can use your fists, make a flimsy club, or even use your axe for the task.īoars are everywhere in the Meadows, and make great meals. Until now, you’ve probably only been eating berries scrounged from nearby bushes. Not only do foodstuffs heal you, but they also increase your maximum hit points and confer other benefits. ![]() Moving right along, the next thing you need to do is place a cooking rack above your campfire. As you continue to explore the world of Valheim and push your boundaries, it may behoove you to build bases further and further away from the safety of the Meadows. They will each need a bed as well, which also functions as your bind point where you will respawn on death. If you’re solo you have nothing to worry about here, but if you’re playing with friends it’s important to communicate that it’s bedtime. You can pass time to day as long as all players in the game are in beds. Craft a campfire and a bed, and go to sleep. Once your bench is up, you’re in good shape, and it’s probably already getting dark out. It’s going to need roofing and a door, and you need to make sure you build it around the bench, as you won’t be able to use the bench unless it’s properly located in shelter. Use the massive amounts of wood you’ve collected to put up a crafting bench and build a makeshift house around it. You’ll have to participate in the dreaded “corpse run” in order to get your stuff back, so especially early on, try to die near home.īut we don’t even have a home yet! Let’s fix that. Also, you drop everything (including your equipped weapons and armor) when you die. When you die, you could lose some skill points, so it’s best to value your life as much as possible. You get bigger and better for doing the things you love! That said, there are stakes and risks here. Blocking with a shield, stabbing with a knife, swimming, jumping, whatever. Valheim uses a skill-based advancement system that rewards you with proficiency for doing things. ![]() You may have noticed that as you run, cut, and craft that your skills are going up. With that, you can cut down the bigger trees and start collecting massive amounts of wood. Using the rocks and wood, craft yourself a makeshift axe. No, this isn’t Minecraft, but you are going to need some wood! Don’t try and knock down the massive trees just yet, start on the small bushes and find yourself some rocks lying around. The first order of business is to start punching trees. Time to get to work! Your first night will fall quickly, and like other survival games, Valheim’s evenings are much more dangerous than the days, and having shelter is important. You’re cold, it’s wet, and you have some raggedy pants on. Doesn’t sound too scary, right? Well, we’ll get to more on that later. Your first big mission is to summon and destroy Eikthyrnir, a giant stag demigod. Here, at a magical altar, you can see runestones depicting the various gods that you’ll be taking on over the course of the game. When you begin Valheim, you’re unceremoniously dropped into a little forest nook in the Meadows biome where you get a taste of what your future holds. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves a bit here. Getting a group that enjoys a mix of tasks is a big benefit, dividing and conquering activities like building up your homestead, exploring underground dungeons, and gathering essential materials. You can play with up to 10 people in a single game, and bringing more fledgling Vikings into the mix greatly improves your efficiency and survivability. First, it’s important to note that you can (and probably should) tackle the dangers of Valheim with friends.
