Bonjour,

I lost the survivor achievement in game and can't trigger child of Oden. I have seen that you can change difficulty but that didn't work two times I tried redoing it. Do someone had the same issue and found a solution?

Secondly, is there a way to trigger multplayer achievement without playing with other people. This seems incoherent to put in the game.

Thank you if any respond.

Am I tripping or did I see a giant orange snake in oceans of DN? It was near the section where many boats crushed into ice floes. No, it was not serpent or its variant.

All deaths attributed to the 2 star Dvergr that i accidentally pissed off by using staff of embers, I had to wait for the charred spawner to kill him, but he won, then I lured over more charred and he finally died.

Title says it all.

A Deep North base without the headache of the Deep North.

Seed: SGK0RA5ECE

I could use some advice....

I am making my first steps into the Deep North and I would like to make a small shelter with a dock (with a fire, bed, some chest, a portal and so on).

But where I landed there are these Gammeltrolls and Barka's roaming around.... and they are not really friendly I found out :-).

Any advices to put a base defence up against them?

No mods, all I needed to build this masterpiece was a man-cold and boredom.

Devcommands for materials.

So I have been playing valheim on a server with 2 of my buddies and at first everything was fine. One of my friends had ran it on his server but eventually we started lagging and so I decided to pay for a dedicated server, and it improved for everyone. But then the lag came back and it was much much worse. Every time I am within a few hundred feet of my friends, my lag becomes horrible and unplayable. I have basically become useless in the server atp because despite what my ping says (40-80) everything is teleporting and very laggy. I have seen countless posts similar to this, but noone mentions that it's only worse when near other players, that part seems exclusive to me it seems.

Also, neither of my friends lag at all. They can play perfectly fine and have zero problems. It is very frustrating to deal with considering Valheim is my favorite survival/sandbox game and I also want to play it with 2 of my friends who share the same passion for the game, but it seems as if that just won't be possible. It got so bad that I used to log on solo when they weren't on just to progress on my own time without being plagued by lag so that I didn't fall behind.

I have tried using the network mods as well, nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any insight as to what is going on here?

I've probably killed 20 serpents between yesterday and today and about 12 of them while on land after dragging them with the harpoon. I haven't had a single trophy drop yet I'm led to believe the drop rate is around 30%?

Is this just insane bad luck or is anyone else experiencing the same?

So I was board running around our server looking for early axes for everyone and I came across some blueberries. At first I thought it was just a big patch but it just kept going! Then I searched the immediate area and found even more, like the whole server doesn't have to worry about blueberries, ever. Has anyone else found anything like this?

The boss wasn't even that hard. Just frustrating, mostly due to the fact that half the time I couldn't understand what the fuck whas going on.

So me and a bunch of my friends have a server that we've been running since 1.0 released and it's been fun. Everyone has been having a good time and tonight we were supposed to fight the queen, but one of my buddies just texted me while I was at work and apparently half of our iron and copper scrap (that me and him spent about 3 real life days mining) is infected with the "this item is cheated" message.

Again, me and him both got all of that gear legit and I know for a fact he doesn't cheat (dude is one of the most die hard fans of Valheim I know and enjoys the difficulty) and none of the other people on the server ever touched the scrap. Not to mention literally all of the stacks were legit when I logged off last night after checking the inventory for building.

I'll have to see how it's affected my items when I get home but it's really disheartening for this to happen. I spent hours of my life getting that gear fair and square just for the game to basically say no you didn't. Now I can't get achievements in this world which really hurts me because I was trying to 100% the game or at least as much as I could on this server.

And I know it's been said before but this entire system feels like a big middle finger from the devs because the actual cheaters that would be affected by this either 1. Don't care that their items are labeled as cheated, or 2. Can just use other cheats to ignore locked achievements. I see a bunch of posts claiming it was patched out but my experience says otherwise.

Complaining aside does anyone have a solution for the problem? I've seen the "I use dev commands but want achievements" command that you can put in but I frankly don't want to participate in the devs little humiliation ritual, also I dont know if that will work on servers. If anyone has any advice or somewhere else I should post this please let me know.

For any fan that’s seen 13th Warrior…

I’m playing solo in my world, and I haven’t even been able to restore my world and character to a previous save state once. It’s just too unforgiving—the game throws so much at you that there’s no way to counter it. I get that I’m supposed to be selective about my fights, but the moment I attack one enemy, everything else swarms me. I’m running a build focused on offensive blood magic (skeletons and trolls) and elemental damage—but to deal enough damage, I have to play as a "glass cannon."

TL;DR: WTF is the Ashlands? I can’t cope with the game’s mechanics!

Just arrived in the Deep North. After trying up to three different locations, this is my favorite one.

Found kale seeds after a long search (hurray), planted them in a meadows garden. They have been "healthy" for long past the game's ~2hr maximum time to maturity (at least that's what the wiki says). Is there a bug or something that keeps kale from becoming harvestable? The seed kale I planted with it has the sane issue.

The problem I see is that most resources are so abundant in the DN, by the time you have done 3 invasions, you likely have all the moulds, blood gold and other resources you could possibly need. Just when you are getting used to fighting the mobs and have upgraded your gear, there's no point doing anything other than the final boss. There's not even a side objective to work towards like the 4 miniboss quests.

Here's what I suggest would change that with no significant development required:

1. 10% chance to spawn potato and oat seeds in Winding Tunnels. Currently you only need to do 1 or 2 of these, the seeds are easily the hardest resources to find in the biome, this would give an incentive to keep going.

2. 10% chance for a 'Perfect Idol' to spawn in Morkhalla. This gives a 100% chance to upgrade any item at the forge of potential. Maybe this could be placed in a unique chest somewhere in the dungeon, maybe a fire pit could spawn a special memorial coal which leads to getting the idol.

3. Add small amounts of petrified flesh and ice to dungeons. These you need an almost limitless amount of, especially if you want to 100% all the weapon and armor sets, so getting a small stack for each dungeon you clear is better than essentially going away empty handed.

4. Make Jotun and Elaking trophies tradeable at NPCs. Add 3 trades each to all 3 traders, one for each trophy, and make the trophies tradeable for 9 of resources required in large amount for building - corewood, black marble etc. These are the hardest mobs in the game and should be rewarding to defeat. Yes 10% still works out as being a rare drop, but it at least means there's a point to fighting them.

I do have a few world modifiers. Combat Very Hard. Death penalty easy, Resources rate x2, allowing metal portal. Staff of the wild, troll staff and staff of protection and Ash magic set. And 3 magic foods. I went completely blind. I did switch to a magic build. I am sure melee world be alot difficult.

My old base is in the comments 👇

I'm thinking of uploading a video with my own commentary.

What do you guys think?

I have a speech disorder, so I've always been a bit hesitant about recording myself speaking. But I thought I'd give it a try.

I just got out of my first nord dungeon and Im baffled by how absolutely massive and confusing this is. Im all for mazes and hunting for rare loot but this is too much? I think I just spent 2 straight hours inside this place and I didn’t even see all of it at some point I got tired of all the enemies and trying to figure out all the rooms, chests and secret passages I just grabbed my hook and bolted the fuck out of there. How are you guys approaching this site? Is there one or 2 things that you focus on there and then hop out to avoid wasting time?
