Progression without upgraded armor and weapons is almost impossible in certain areas, as the game begins to strand you in different areas, with biomes like the mountains requiring frost resistance potions to begin mining materials to gain more resistance to the cold when wearing certain armor sets. These events will continue long after you’ve defeated these ancient creatures who had otherwise existed peacefully until your arrival.įor example, I couldn’t have made a pickaxe without defeating the meadow god Eikthyr the Stag, as I required his horns to mine the earth for crude tin and copper. There would be instances in which they would swoop down from their natural environment to attack a community house I had built with friends on a shared server. My attempt to kill the great frost dragon Moder sent the drakes that occupied the mountains into a frenzy. And even after you’ve vanquished the “boss” of these individual areas, the game forces you to deal with those consequences in the form of world events. ![]() Each of these creatures exists within a specific biome - the meadows, the Black Forest, the swamps, the windswept mountains, and the plains - and in order to fight these beasts, you must kill their kin. However, this act comes at the expense of the world itself. Valheim encourages this practice, as defeating these bosses provides you with access to more tools to create better armor, housing, or even crafting equipment. ![]() You arrive in the world as the reincarnation of a great warrior from another realm, set to do Odin’s task of ridding Valheim of terrible beasts that even the gods dare not challenge.
