Very nice. Love the hillside build. Do you have enemies that spawn with in that outside fence?
Feels good to return to the fortress after an adventure

New Update, here are the patch notes. Seems like they have been working on some of the save corruption issues.
Is going for bronze armor over troll hide armor worth it? I noticed the slowness penalty from the bronze armor so I've still been wearing my leveled up troll gear still.
Yes, you need to time when you raise the shield just as they're swinging or firing at you. They'll flail backwards in a helpless stylee so you can murder death kill them.
I think thats a wrap for me and this will be the last time I ever buy an EA game. I usually avoid them until they are finished but really wanted to try this one. My temps are good as far as usage for cpu/gpu, my drivers are up to date and this game keeps freezing up. Screen locks, I can still hear my character move and it sounds as if the game is still running fine but screen is frozen. I wish I could get a refund but I have 5 hours clocked in. Oh well only 20 bucks I guess
Are you playing it in full screen or do you have any overlays on? I had a similar issue and it turns out that the game really doesn't like rivatuner or afterburner. It would freeze up with the first and heavily stutter if the second was running. Reports also suggest that the default windowed mode is also somewhat to blame for the stuttering.
just a few boar and necks from time to time but, real enemies, its always on the outside.
Full screen, I may have the steam overlay on. I turned on afterburner after a few crashes to monitor things as well. I'll try turning them both off tonight and giving it a go again. Worst comes to worst I'll shelve it for a bit until the game is more stable I guess.
The way I did it was I built a pen with one fence missing, had a boar chase me into it and built the last fence behind it.
Then I threw food into the pen over a couple hours.
yea and its easiest if you trap in a fence/build a fence around them. With that said, its a waste of resources to tame boars imo. Atm it is rather.

This is amazing. These guys tamed wolves and used a harpoon the drag them down to other biomes. They would kill and eat deer and multiplay and before you know it there was packs of tamed wolves roaming around killing all wildlife and greydwarves up to two biomes away.

After 2 hours, I was not loving this game and considered refunding. After 10 hours, I'm here thanking god I didn't - this game is so much fun and always introducing new elements that are genuinely interesting. Really looking forward to see where this goes.
One small thing, has anyone confirmed if it's possible to die from campfire smoke inside a building? Personally I haven't experienced it, and some of my huts without a chimney get really smoky.

So yesterday was an adventure. Finally was able to find the location of the third boss and it was very very far. Dropped my friend off at swamp and took the longboat out for a long voyage. So beautiful out there and the music while sailing is amazing. Got to shore and realized I didn't have graydwarf eyes to build a teleporter and Was in a strange empty biome. So had to sail around some more to find some them went back and set up shop only to realize you can't teleport these particular sacrifices to summon the boss....
The journey continues.
This is why this game is so great. Everything turns into some crazy adventure. I can't how many "rescues" we've had as a group to help a friend get his gear back. Always a new story and when we aren't out adventuring we are just building our town, fishing, farming, cooking. It's just all so good.
On Reddit someone modded the server to have you 50 people. As huge as this world is I really would like to see servers with many more people eventually. A true giant community server.

Slowly progressing in my game. Me and a friend have gotten iron now but we have yet to kill 3rd boss. Closing in on 50 hrs now and I probably have spent at least half of that tinkering with my base. Building and demolishing as I get tired with the designs. I hope they flesh out the building and crafting in the future. I also wish we could dig out caves. Been impressed by how stable the game is too. Even on a dedicated server there has been no issues at all.
The merchant only spawns in Black Forest right? I really think this needs a change. Knowing he has items that help with lugging ores around, it'd be nice to have for me or anyone digging for iron.
Maybe after a certain criteria like boss 2 down and he is free to move out and happens upon you? IDK but I have 0 idea where he is.

For anyone looking to get easier access to the trader: https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/how-to-easily-find-the-trader-in-valheim/
I couldn't find him anywhere in my world, so created a new game with the seed in the above article, and once I found the trader I logged my character out there so I can go back to him when I need to.

Yep had to do the same. The Belt is way too good and I needed fishing poles lol
Yeah, I think the trader mechanic is a bit trash. You could get unlucky and never encounter him at all. Hopefully it's just a temporary mechanic because it really makes no sense that even fishing is gated behind randomly finding him.
The radius on wards is huge btw. I accidentally locked my friend out of his chests by placing a ward in my house. Oops! Also wondering if they protect structures? It lit up everytime a greydwarf hit a wall in its radius.
The trader seems to spawn inside about the middle of the map out in each direction about 1/4 of the map from the center.
I built a boat and sailed around that area on two maps and found him inside that radius both times.
I take it I have to find a large section of swamp for the 3rd boss? Found two swamp areas but both very small, no alter or crypts.
i disagree. trader requires exploring...he's not meant to be found early - mid game technically. you can get fish without the rod. (its almost easier actually)
Thanks appreciate the info! Only thing I knew going in was the first boss battle because I saw Easy Allies fighting it on a Twitch stream.
Personally I like the fact he is not always easy to find, it adds and element of excitement when you do, a real treasure hunt of sorts :)
I think I feel a bit stuck after 21 hours. I'm going on really long walks around my starting island where I keep encountering just more black forest and more meadows. There are mountains but I can't survive them. I have bronze weapons/tools and troll hide armor. Only killed first boss. Do I have to sail to other islands to progress from here?
OP
OP
Yes. You are missing a biome before you get strong enough to survive the mountains. I can tell you which if you don't care about minor spoilers. Sometimes you need to sail to find the right one.
Have you not found a Vegvesir to the Elder boss in one of the Black Forest dungeons?
You want to find that, go to the Elder, summon and kill him. Then off to the swamps you go!
Sailed reaaaaally far...found swamp...wraith destroys my ship and kills me as I got near shore. Hoooo boy. Lost a lot.
A buddy joined our game just go buy stuff from the trader lol. We found him very quick. I was trying to farm some sea serpent meat now that we have the recipe, but I never seem to encounter them anymore
Pro tip for when you get to the swamp:
Use the hoe to flatten land as you walk around. It will raise up land from underwater as well, making it a lot easier to get around.
Keep in mind that flatten ground flattens to the height you are currently standing on. So start flattening out from higher ground into the lower level swamp.

lol. Read back to back this is tough.
this is what i've been using. it works perfectly and auto backs up the world every few hours I believe. just wonderfulIf you happen to have an unraid server or familiar with docker, there's a gameserver docker for Valheim. Took 2 seconds to setup. I just bought the game yesterday and haven't played much but I'm able to play on the server running on my unraid home server.

We beat boss 3 tonight, had to trek across the plains to reach it. Fight was really fun, but hell, did we have a rough time actually getting there. We had to open two sets of gates to eventually get there and we had several casualties, especially going through plains lol.
Huh, Bonemass's sacrifices are teleportable. Were you going for the fourth boss by accident or trying to bring the wrong things?
Similar thing here, got killed on my longboat by deathsquitos as I was driving past a plains area and hadn't eaten (because I usually don't eat on boat rides if I don't expect to be landing anywhere soon), had to craft backup armor (troll hide since I have so much of that material) to go close to my death point by land and then set up a portal and raft to cross the ocean between the continent I have my closest portal on and the continent I died near to. Then after crossing set up a fortified portal in a nearby swamp and legged it into the plains. All of that was about half-way to the boss and took a lot of attempts to pull off. Running naked and sprinting past all enemies is a good way to scout by land but falls apart when there's a big body of water in the way...
Found this amazing shortcut. It's a rock filled narrow river that is pretty fun to navigate and cuts my sailing time by a large amount. Only problem is that a small part of the shortcut goes through Plains biome. Since the river is so narrow I sometimes attract a Deathsquito or two that chases me until it destroys my boat and kills me.
Any tips for dealing with the Deathsquitos or avoiding them?
