This series includes Glitchy and my genuine first reactions to entering the Ashlands without much knowledge at all! We were able to coordinate and play on the FIRST day of the Public Test Branch’s release so take that with its own grain of salt. It is not part of any other playthrough and is a standalone on a new world I created to help us quickly get ready and play with some Ashlands stuff! This is a series that Glitchy and I both recorded and made separate videos for our respective channels. Watch one or both videos if you want to see Glitchy’s perspective.
This session was recorded on 22 April 2024.

Welp, it was fun to see what happens if you try to get to the Ashlands in a normal boat.
Hahaha if you wanted to know, there ya go
we did the same thing, spent an hour rockhopping and dying a lot before we had our giant DUH moment lol
@@kchurchfield Hahahah!!! It just didn't click, but it's so obvious now!
I had my boat just immediately drop to the bottom of the ocean and me along with it... but i didn't lose health and just sat there and couldn't get out...
Glitchy repeatedly screaming "vulture" while waffles paddles in the soup trying to avoid a Bonemaw AND collect his gear is why I watch you two. Fantastic!
Hahahaha!!
Sooo glad me and my crew weren't the only ones to just sail in a longboat and die immediately. Been waiting to start watching the series till i had spent some time in the biome to avoid spoilers and it was well worth the wait. I had a similar beaching experience in my solo world with a charred spawner in my way. Died probably 30 times and killed 50+ charred before i realized it was a spawner. Yall absolutely crushed that first landing
Heeeyyy I'm glad you came back for it!! It's such a fun series and I'm glad you got your chance to avoid spoilers! Yeahhhh it was definitely a big dumb at first but I'm glad to know we weren't the only dummies with the longship. Oh well!
I can't believe you guys survived that onslaught at the beach. Fantastic work!
Thanks!!!
Very nice building and staging area. * thinks fondly of watching waffles build his first house in the meadows
Thank youuuuu! :)
Wahoo! LOL "We'll be fiiiine!" Famous last words
🥳
lol…I always take my feather cloak off while I’m sailing just so I don’t accidentally fly off the boat while serpent hunting!
Hmmm I've never experienced anything like that before! Crazy!
"We will be fine" - Yeah... Sure... We'll see xD Well... Good luck 😂
NO PROBLEMS AT AALLLLL
So, USUALLY, the last boss gives you something to be ready for the next biome. Yall need to spawn the queen item, or fight her.
I see, you do get to it eventually
I knew this but completely forgot!! hahaha "two idiots..."
SPOILERS: you need the bells. You will soon find out where to find the parts for them.
I was indeed having a field day with the new pieces, not so much with surviving the act of obtaining the materials for them though! I've not died so much on normal difficulty since I was a noob! 🤣
Somehow I just KNEW you'd miss the Queen drop and the new boat, I was sitting here cackling to myself knowing full well what you were gonna do and you two did not disappoint! In fairness though, good job on the beach head, you actually did pretty damned well right there. 👍
Great video once again, you two always brighten my day when a new one hits.
You're the best!
When I saw that bonemaw I had known the journey was over 🤣.Because that's how we concluded ours. Since we have been looking forward to this update for so long thus we just jump ourselves into ashlands without unlocking new tech. So we basically negelected the drop from queen to upgrade the artisan table to get the newest ship. Then we the ignorant just sailed with that fancy longship and all went fine till we reached the shore and the board started boiling, but we managed to repair it by setting up workbench on the rock nearby. Then here came that monstrosity. But to be honest man you guys are doing a relatively great job so far and I am expecting more videos from you in the future!😆
Hell yes!! Glad to know you had a similar chaotic first jaunt like us!! Haha enjoy!
I love how everyone's beach experiences seem similar lol. I only just started ashlands, but i was getting absolutely mauled at the beach when i first landed. It became a fight to defend my portal. The enemies killed me multiple times but luckily never broke my portal while i was dead. Eventually i was able to get on a relatively elevated rock and set up a box base made of grausten up there with a portal and shield generator. I also realized there was a spawner really close that kept spawning shit near me lol.
Congrats on surviving- we weren’t so fortunate. Take your greeting party and add a Valkyrie, a one star lizard and two other lizards. We wiped.
Yiiiiiiiikes!!! not fair at all!! That's honestly terrifying! I've seen that for sure, and trust me, things do not get better.
this is why it’s good to play the game all the way through
Of course. And we have. We just didn't have a playthrough ready for this particular part.
31:00 Frost arrows work really well on the bonemaw serpents.
Heeyy roger that!
Indeed! I killed 3 on my way in. Solo with the new boat, spinesnap and cold arrows. Works really well. Unfortunately, the enemies on land are pretty tanky and besides whittling down starred warriors, it's a lot of arrows and I don't fancy so many mountain trips for obsidian and frost glands.
A little bit rough he says...lmao! That was intense!!
Just a TINY bit rough...
This is what you get trying to skip steps. You didnt notice what you got from the queen.
Great first episode! Loving the chaos
Thanks!!!!
Your Eitr Refinery closed off like that, when you use it. The Green Balls will damage your walls and stuff. I had a base with 2 refineries going, and they managed to fully destroy my stone walls.
Looks good though.
Hahah Roger that. It may not be used ever since it's kind of a creative mode-ish playthrough but that's very good to note if we do have to use it!
Help im on fire!! 😂 my exact words several times!
Pretty standard haha!
What a shame you had no weather effect when first going in! Nice and sunny ashlands just isn't the same.
I rushed and landed today, so I could watch you guys. Got there fine, but it took hours to sort of establish a base, then a blob blew up in it and it was all gone. Those things are bastards! Now I rebuilt on a hill close to my landing point, a nice little stone portal house. But every time I try to venture out, it's a swarm like your landing.
I'm thinking you need a tank and a mage. Mage shields and fireballs groups, then frost blast the starred warriors. As it is, they one shot me with the overhead strike if I don't parry or just eat through my arrow stacks. It's a bit much. It feels like being a noob in the black forest, at night in the rain when your rested buff runs out. But that's _with_ rested, lingering stamina and during the day being dry, top tier mistlands gear. Dunno, maybe with a group but solo... ouf...
This is a perfect picture of the experience! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Waffles - I am wondering how / why your view of the Ashlands is so much brighter, clearer and easier to see than Glitchy's view? Is it a mod, settings or post editing? I am struggling hard to see anything in the Ashlands making the game almost unplayable for me :(
I discover that I used the devcommand "env clear" for the first episode or so but I figured it out and fix the issue.
@@WafflesGamesProbably Thanks for the info - I tend to keep away from the swamp because of its darkness - maybe I'll try to use that command. Keep up the great content - very entertaining :D
Jesus christ that was intense. 😅
THAT'S a fact!
That's a thiqq boat 😮
AIN'T IT?!?
Man ya missed out on the graphics side. The atmosphere is so cool!
It comes back!
@@WafflesGamesProbably Excellent!
did you notice feather cape is no longer frost resistant so you will get the cold debuff in the night time? also, VERY WEAK to fire, which is not convenient at all for the biome lol
Oh damn! I didn't notice that!!!
@@WafflesGamesProbably glad to have warned you, then! loving the vids keep em up :)
The boss stone thing might change when it moves from testing, but with how things seem to work if they change the stones it might zap everyone’s trophies away lol
Oh interesting!
I believe I'm among the very first players to encounter the Ashlands Boss when the PTB was released, and it, like most inhabitants of the Ashlands, are more vulnerable to weapons with Frost and Spirit damage. My mistake earlier was not thinking of that and blindly fighting the new boss with an arbalest lol. Try the Frostner, Mistwalker, anything that has frost and spirit damage. They work wonders in the Ashlands.
Roger that!!
I won't watch the video (to avoid any spoilers) but I will leave a comment and a like nontheless. Keep the good work guys !!
I absolutely understand and appreciate this so much!!
Having watched other streamers struggle mightily with the Ashlands already, I anticipate much dying, confusion....and more dying!
Cook the new serpent meat.... it's amazing hp food!
Don't forget the dying!!
Wow they upped their difficulty by a lot. Man, looking forward for this to release. Still have time for our group server to catch up. But this is something else!
Yeah I am definitely expecting a bit of rebalancing but we shall see! It's pretty cool
thats how D-day must have felt
Haha at least in some way
@@WafflesGamesProbably btw the feathered cape is now VERY weak vs Fire, not good to use it in Ashlands
@@Amatsuichi haha yep I've learned that now! Possibly caused multiple deaths in this playthrough in the future...
Already love the intro music.
YESSS that took me a looong time to find! Gotta find the perfect tune!!
I get the feeling that there's a spawner near where you landed on the beach
There seem to be spawners everywhere, and they even seem to pop up where there are no spawners!
Been waiting for this video!
Yeesssss! Enjoy!! Four episodes out now with more on the way Mondays and Wednesdays!
LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂😂😂 let's goooo!!
Feather cape got a nerf, it's now very weak to fire. Might wanna run a linen/lox cape instead?
VERY good to know!! Thanks!!
Finally i get to use all fire potions :D
Definitely a good use case!
Started over for the Ashland, so I’m not there yet, but can you build a crafting benches on the boat?
I don't believe so. I tried to build a portal on one and nothing.
How did you lighten up your screen like that? I can barely see in the Ashlands!!
Wow, just wow
Indeed haha!
very nice love the content!
me and my mate are gona do a play through from the beginning to ashlands if anyone wants to join
Good luck!!
KROOOOOMMMM
4LYFE
BTW…love the 🪲juice 🎶🎵🎶
Hah!! What? Is this a tune I sung or something? I can't remember
It’s the beginning and sporadically placed music when you two are scurrying about. It is like the chaotic beetle juice music. 😂
“Small Steps” (at the beginning)has a good riff. It might be popping in with Glitchy Cam 🤔
you should put some lox on your boat to fight with in the ashlands
Haha could be fun
I’m 90% sure the spawn rate of ashlands enemies is bugged. That would explain the overwhelming number of enemies. It’s way too much to make sense at the moment.
Yeah they just had a patch and apparently fixed the exact issue we were seeing
I mean…wolves swim lol
Yeahhhhhhh
Just asking once the official Ashland update do I have to create a new world or can I continue my previous world?
You'll be able to continue your previous world! If you've explored a small chunk of the Ashlands in that world, the rest that you haven't yet explored will generate normally and leave that little bit in the previous version. But even if you've explored it all, you can use a mod called Upgrade World or something like that and it'll do the trick!
@@WafflesGamesProbably so I can continue my previous world as long as I didn't explore or seen the Ashland biome?
@@jackstallion7128 as normal!
See if you can hatch those vulture eggs.
Oooo I wonder if that's even a thing!!?? I know they are part of food recipes...
I tried almost immediately when I brought one home. Unfortunately, there's no cold/warm indicator when you throw one on the floor, so I wouldn't expect it to be hatchable.
Ha, yeah, that would only be the very first time maybe a hint of true idiocy emerged when you guys didn't think about what the last boss dropped. Has Valheim taught you NOTHING!?
We were distracted! And we hadn't just defeated the queen. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
You gotta fix your lighting, Waffles! It looks all wrong :(
It does, I agree. I think it's because I used the "env clear" devcommand once, so yeahhhh oops.
I feel like its a waste to experience new content on low difficulty... but that's just me. You guys still make an entertaining duo so ill still watch :)
You guy did NOT just take the normal long ship to the ashlands with all that boiling hot water 🤣🤣🤣🤣
you need the queen’s majestic carapace to make the new big boy boat “drakkon”
The new giant boat comes with a new “ceramic plating” that’ll make it immune to the boiling water and bigger storage and much more bigger than the long ship! Good luck have fun!!
Keeeeep watching!! haha I didn't know the water would be like that. I prepared the queen drop but we forgot to look at it.
@@WafflesGamesProbablytrue true. I was like oh boy 😂😂😂
You died to the water I think not the creatures
Yes it does seem that way
w00t
PURE EVIL!!!!
Hahaha essentially
Well…I guess I won’t be going there 😢
Maybe not yet but it's pretty rough! I do expect some rebalancing.
the cheating kinda ruines it for me but makes me feel good that i didn’t have to cheat or anything lol
It's what we had. The other playthroughs I had at the end of the queen was one with a different friend, and two from my server. None solo or anything else. So I created it so I could play with my friend in the new biome. Our series together will make it there eventually but we wanted to play on release.
What is your third item your eating pls ?
I think you mean the fish and bread?
@@WafflesGamesProbably Yes thanks i finded it on Internet it's because i didn't catch thé mistlands fish yet :)
I miss unstable ashlands ❤️
STOP SPOILINH IT WITH THUMBNAILS 😭😭😭. I love watching your valheim content but I'm waiting for the ashlands till I can play it (xbox) and the thumbnails are already showing too much 😂
I'll do my best to keep them very mild!!
@WafflesGamesProbably thank you, I can't wait to watch the two idiots ashlands edition, lol
Don't feel bad I can't even play it. Made it there swarmed by mobs almost dead don't have people to game with. So yep till they update it I can't do anything at all.
It's a pretty rough landing, and it honestly doesn't get much better...but I bet it will with more familiarity and maybe a bit of rebalancing.
@@WafflesGamesProbably I literally know theirs nothing I can do besides start a new world get me out of that mess. All I wanted was some metal for armor and weapons that's it.
Honestly made me not even want to play the game on normal at all period. Way to many mobs the damage is fine though but I can't get anything I need for important things. So yep I'm done with it wish you luck. I play games for fun not to end up frustrated and usually can do it on the harder difficulties but not this time just normal made me say it. Good job devs honestly I haven't said that in years. I applaud such.
Did make it out went back and also back home again. Now just wanna leave it all alone though. May start over and just worry about everything else ashlands is for people with friends I'm not one of those. I barely like people. And I hate to turn down difficulties I only turn things off to save some small amounts of time. Sail back anyway sometimes too.
when the update will be on ?
It's available on the public test branch now
Ashlands sucks
+ for the ex wife roast xD
