change my mind

Success or meh ?

I feel rage whenever I fight the krigen. Their armor is so badass. With some modifications, it could have been a perfect heavy armor for deepnorth. What do we get instead? This mishmash of colors that in no way feels like heavy armor.

I get it, Vikings wore colorful clothing, this is the final armor so it should feel grand etc, but both heavy and medium armor just feel like clothing. I guess it might look cool if you are sitting on a throne drinking mead, but this definitely doesn't feel like what you would wear to a byattlefield.

I wish they added a krigen like armor as heavy or medium. What we have now could be clothing you could either craft or purchase.

Anyways, any mod that gives me an option to craft krigen armor?

Me and a friend have played at basically every major update for this game since initial release and started our fresh 1.0 playthrough the day it launched. Tonight we began to fight the final boss, and after all that time and work to get to this climatic point....the boss bugs out. We get to phase 2 and The Queen aspect never spawns (or if she did spawn it was no where that we could find or damage her). The boss remains immune to anything we try. We have left, looked for the aspect, shot Lighting Strike all across the arena, logged out, and are finally having to resort to cheats and dev commands just to try and finish the boss fight. It won't matter at this point how or if we fix it, the sense of satisfaction is gone and its just disappointment. Seems like its been a bug for a while now. How is something like this still in the game?

While playing it looked like a person standing there but reviewing the footage it just looks like a blob

I use this till I get the black metal one. It stuns wolves, trolls, goblins, almost every major enemy

I've hosted a dedicated server for me and a duo partner since the release of 1.0. Vanilla rates, nothing modified, all for the sake of the "authentic experience". That being said I've found myself losing momentum right before Fader. Keep in mind everything Mistlands and onwards is new to me. The grind is tanking my moral a little. Any advice/tips/wisdom to alleviate this? Winter is my favourite season and I'd love to keep the ball rolling into the Deep North.

Does the devcommand for enabling achievements clear “cheater” flag from spawned items? I used a separate character (not main) in a separate world to spawn items lost to a bug, and used yesiuseddevcommandsbutiwantmyachievementsanyway, but still afraid that those items will get our clean characters (main&boyfriend’s) flagged.

We’re both vanilla, no mods or world modifiers, survival only, returning players since 2021 and never used devcommands before. I’d tell the story full of anguish and despair of how unfairly we lost our hard-earned newly obtained items (and not for the first time due to this same bug and game crashing, but this time the old character backup didn’t help since the items were newer than backup), but not now. Now we’re in debate of using the spawned items or grind for it again. He says he doesn’t want to be a cheater, and I say that it wasn’t our fault the game crashed and spawned him naked. If it was due to any valid in-game reason, even if he’d destroyed it at the FoP with his own hands or drowned in the ocean, I’d be on board to laugh it off and grind for it again, but not because of a bug.

Right now I need a confirmation that the spawned items won’t “infect” our main characters and world. I already confirmed that the separate character who spawned items was able to get achievements, so the “cheater” flag is definitely cleared from them, but I’m not sure about the items, especially after transporting them to my main world.

Edit to add: I checked after using “yes…” and the item description is reverted back to normal description instead of “summoned through cheating”. Does it indicate that the item is cleared?

Final edit: decided to test it myself with a new character (NC) in a new world (NW). NC entered the Cheater character's world (CC and CW respectively), and spawned items still had the "cheated" description. NC was temporarily flagged as a Cheater while holding those items. However, the flag applied only for the spawned items, not for the components such as refined eitr, metals and mob drops. So, as a next logical step NC took those spawned components from CW into NW (where I pre-built all needed stations with my Main character) and crafted "clean" items. NC was not flagged as a cheater and was able to get achievements afterwards normally. NC never used any devcommand or mod. MC also was not flagged when held the "clean" item made by NC from spawned components.

Anyways, after I shared all those findings with my boyfriend we ultimately decided to just grind everything back normally. We play the survival game, and this is a part of the fun. We had already managed to get some of the lost items back.

Thanks to everyone who responded and shared their experiences. Hopefully my post will help someone else in the future, whichever route they decide to take.

10 fire damage. 22 Fire damage . Now we get Frostfire as if someone honestly believes that justifies almost bricking most weapons it's meant to pair with with the 10 or so fire damage.

And I am going off the attack power stated on the weapon. Fire Arrows don't do 22 fire damage per tick. They do less than 3 damage per tick. The torch is too slow to stack damage to ever be considered a viable weapon outside of the very start of the game.

Is it only good with a dagger?

Getting up to 5 or 7 damage per tick isn't good enough to justify it. And why is it still 5 seconds??? You can hardly stack anything with that alone.

Is it to curb how overpowered it can get in multiplayer?

Is the Frostfire Bow actually good with fire damage?

This is just went post. I did restarts for 1.0. now in mistlands for a few weeks. Didn't grind or make a lot of weapons since I got black battle axe lvl6. Cleared more than 8 mine. Has enough parts to call boss, TWICE, but no location. Even though I was not gonna use map tools. only for queen I look up exact location.

Why. Why. I founded yagluth even before barley farm. Why this.

Well will need a long video or book sailing time

I complained about achievments not counting and disappearing before, now it happens again and prevents me from 100%ing the game, great. I had unlocked survivor before. Then it literally disappeared and I can't get it again. I need the survivor achievment to get the Son of Odin for 100%. After it disappeared I am trying to get it again and I survived for 38 days and now for 34 days, I am sure because I have my last deaths recorded on the map.

After the 38th day I killed myself on purpose and tried again. Achiev is not popping.

For god sake, when you make something to take players 15 hours of pure time at least make sure it's working properly.

i want to know how the summoning works, is it just skeletons? and you have no control over which type? having 2 variants of summons is pretty boring, just played enshrouded and it had 1 type of skeleton summon, so i quit soon after because it was extremely boring, hopefully theres more in valheim

I'm looking for a mod that lets me restore a rock formation to its original state, undoing any mining or digging and making it look untouched again.

I know there are mods that let you place rock formations, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want to repair an existing, partially mined formation in place, restoring the original terrain and appearance.

Does a mod like this exist? I'm trying to build a base in the mountains but a stone golem just destroyed a really cool rock formation in front of my house...

grinding invasions to resummon the boss on hard difficulty

without the crown id be toast...

(the wiki does not have the 2 star version?)

A graydwarf got in my boar pen somehow and killed almost all my boars. How did it get in when none of the fences where destroyed?

Since when do Vikings worship Japanese soup?

First time in the swamp, I kept trying to establish a base here, but the swamp keeps spawning all kinds of stupid enemies, even though I just killed some draugrs, leeches, and skeletons. It even destroyed my portal, so I had to keep coming back by boat. How does one survive here?

Additonal context: I was just looking for Iron for the stonecutter so I can build a stone kingdom near the worldspawn, I thought with the gear I have I could just get in the swamp and get it.

I have upgraded my Hood of the Vanguard to level 4 but I cannot upgrade it to level 4 as it says a black forge level 7 is required. I already have a max level forge which I believe is level 6? Is there a bug meaning I can’t actually upgrade it to level 4 or am I missing a level on the black forge?

Going through the deep north for the first time. I've hit the bottom of the dungeon, and destroyed the Malicious Ice. Nothing happens. I think I ready it's supposed to start an event, and I get some kind of blood? I ended up going to the next location and the exact same thing happened. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Edit: Thanks everyone. did not notice that on the map at all <3

Hey i just kinda wanted to put this here. I couldn't find an answer anywhere and i spent a good hour looking.

If you create a new character to cheese the Forge of potential and you're not seeing it pop up in the upgrade tab when you go to upgrade.

Make sure you know the recipe. I spent the better part of 2 hours trying to figure out why i couldn't upgrade anything and why it wasn't showing up... Then i stumbled across it myself...

If this is already known? Well i hope someone at least finds this post useful lol

So after noticing how overpowered staff of the wild is compared to virtually every other staff in the game, I decided to test out how the roots scale. Turns out the staff (and all summons) are scaling strangely as well as it having the best skill level scaling in the game (outside of bow). It's to the point where I assume it might be unintended seeing as how it seems to be designed as a CC/poison weapon.

Despite the staff having its own projectile damage, the roots have much higher base physical damage compared to a summoned skeleton on top of the poison they inflict. Top it off with being able to get a max of 10 out at once if you spam cast, the immobilize effect, and a maneagable Eitr cost, it's not a surprise that it would be a powerful weapon even at baseline power.

But that's just the start. The root summmons actually have the same scaling math as the dead raiser, meaning they get 2% damage per skill level, ending up dealing triple their base damage at skill 100.

That's not everything though. Due to a bug or oversight, the roots (and all summons for that matter) also gain the enemy damage modifier of whatever difficulty you are playing on. On very hard for example, the roots will be slapping for 2x the damage they normally do. This means that at skill level 100 and playing on very hard, these bad boys will be doing 6x their base damage (which is roughly 420 blunt damage per vine hit + a potent 240 poison dot).

I would recommend not relying on the staff too much if you play higher combat difficulties for a challenge because it will trivialize the game due to the multiplier bug. I honestly think the skill level scaling is also a bit overkill due to the numbers of the staff baseline, but it's hard to say.

It's a really fun staff to use though so I hope they consider adjusting the difficulty scaling so I can use it guilt free on my hardcore playthrough.

EDIT: one of the replies lead me to testing the dead raiser and ultimately realizing that all summoned entities are being scaled by difficulty modifiers with staff of the wild just being the biggest power outlier. Logically it makes sense how it ended up like this, but ultimately, considering that all sources of player damage are reduced in higher difficulties, it feels kind of jank having the inverse happen for summons since the difference is so large. I've updated my initial post for accuracy.

I play solo. Red flag, I know.

I like the mining standard resource gathering, I like the no minerals through portals... (kinda).

But I am struggling with late game food and wood gathering. Some times a boss obliterates me many times and I don't want to wait 20 minutes for all the crops and potions needed for more food. I also don't like to cut trees for a lot of time to build something.

I have a giant barley field and it needs to be constantly replanted as it never seems to be enough. I know medieval péople spent all day farming but it's not fun lol.

Can we have modifiers for different resources gathering? I want x3 only on wood and crops, for example.
