When you find a skull, go into the mouth and mine upwards. You just gotta hit the brain once and all the soft tissue falls down, like those rock spires in the plains when you mine the bottom. It's awesome
@@LandonTucker1 just rocks, but if you mine around the bottom all the way, it rains hundreds of rocks. Super easy when gathering resources legitimately
I think mistlands are the coolest place in Valheim, and all the old battefield, scatered with giant's bones and equipment makes it so lore rich that it becomes like a new game
My buddy and I started this games three weeks ago. I finally got my PC, played some FPS games at first, but eventually it became time for some true sweaty-no life-gaming. I had some paid time off and he’s between jobs. He had some valhiem experience, making it all the way to the mountain boss in his last play through before burning out in the plains stage. I was brand new to the game and ready to sink 100 hours (105.4 to be exact) into this game. We cruised through the game at a relatively high speed and killed the queen. What an incredible time I had grinding this game. Helped to have the homie and his knowledge on the things we needed to prioritize. Can’t wait for the next big update.
If you use a cart to break the ward they won't attack you and you can still build and use them as defense. Just ram the cart against the ward till it break it takes a little while but is definitely worth it
I call them dwarves because that's what dvergr means and Haldor refers to himself as a dwarf in one of his dialogues. But you could also call them dark elves as it's synonymous with dwarf in the mythology.
Enter the black marble skulls from the mouth. You'll get an awesome spot to place down a portal once you've mined all soft tissue and filled the skull back up to a decent ground level.
for sneaking i would recommend entering any dungeon swamp or forest preferably, then just start sneaking. skeles cant be bothered to try to get to you and the draugr just cant
also make sure that if the skull is partially in the ground dig out the entire contents of the head until all you see is marble sometimes the soft tissue is in the dirt
You can get rid of that guard in dvergr homes by throwing Eitr next to it and wait. The Sparks will destroy the Stone figuren and you can close the door before start the killing. So you can Devise the dvergr troops.
mistlands is now live! like your videos, would love one about changes to the game that are not mistlands specific, like fishing changes, ax has a special attack now etc
you can vaporize the silver veins the way you vaporize the jotun sword. just free the entire vein and make it float without breaking a single piece on it. then when its hovering clear of the ground pop a single piece and the entire vein just goed "pop". definitly much faster than mining the enitre vein willy nilly
I really hope they add the other dvergr building pieces to the game. My castle is missing that Je ne sais quoi flourish that makes it look like anything other than a black hunk of marble.
Another tip you failed to mention, the devirger will fight the seekers and Gjarls, this has 2 implications. 1: You can lead those creatures back if you are overwhelmed and the garrison will help will fight them off. 2: You can lead creatures to the fort to weaken the garrison and possibly defeat them for you. I used both tactics in the beta test, the gjarl can do a serious number on the fort, its garrison and the resources within, it can even break the crate without killing everybody and they don't notice that you just stole the sap extractor from the ruined section of the outpost.
Frostner + Blackmetal round shield is the best combo... Its kinda boring (Parry + special/strong attack, parry...) but its really effective. The best tactic for soliders
Agreed, but with the game's current control scheme (I play on PC) I'm not sure what they would combine it to? I block and press space to roll, while it's not super intuitive, I've grown used to it quick enough.
@@Krumpulous it's perfect your on block if you miss a roll and you have spacebar for jump, ctrl for crouch and shift for sprint honestly no place to put it unless you want it on e or q or capslock honestly they can add that option to keybind it so people would stop crying and still keep dying.
I think that this update is not finished yet (- . -) I was agaist saying that OOOOOH THEY UPDATED IT AFTER 2 YEARS? REALLY? IMPRESSIVE. But when I see that it took them at least 9 months to bring us UNFINISHED update, kinda without better armour, without Yggdrasil wood (I must mention it) and without really something cool and original... (I was hyped for 1-2 weeks and now I see that its just something that we could live without. Feather cape is cool but rest of the things... meh). Do they really care about Valheim? I dont think so
@@Stachu454 For the amount of time its took it is kind of lacklustre. I was expecting more to be honest. I can't believe after all this time the update isn't even the full thing. Its not the mistlands update, its only about 3/4 of it because there are clearly things missing.
during the feather cape distance test it looked like you stopped moving forward when your stamina ran out. Have you tried the same test with high stamina food on?
I believe it is the mistwalker, one of, if not the best weapon currently in the game because it freezes enemies for 10 seconds like Frostner but it does like twice the damage
@@clownbite if you want a weapon with max damage, spawn a "cheatsledge" and give that a go. I celared an entire island of standing structures with one. Amazing but dangerous. Brought it into a game, forgot about it, had a Drake attack on the base that were destroying my pigs so in desperation, I pulled by sledge out and gave a whack. As I was in my base, it destroyed almost half of it along with the livestock. I could only laugh and trashed the item so that wouldn't happen again.
@@Firespark81 I did not dig I broke the marble floor squares under it. Some Towers it does not work. I just noticed you can not do it on Tower with basements, the floor is solid. As with the Marble mining posts.
Love the videos. I just started a dedicated with some homies, we've been grinding out from scratch. It's been a riot. Should stop in on twitch or come by and grind out with us haha. Love the content man.
Really depends on who gets the jump. If you get the jump on the insects, it's pretty easy. If they get the jump on you, it could be death. It's exacerbated as mage. If you get the jump the bugs are dead in a few fireballs (unless its a soldier) and if they get the jump and you don't have a shield up then you're getting two shot and your desk is getting a thump while you realize you forgot to setup a portal nearby.
If you go to the Mistlands in fully upgraded gear from the Plains and know "how" to fight enemies you'll be fine. The Devs went to great lengths with this Biome to give each NPC unique combat characteristics, including weaknesses. If however, you head over there with ~75 HP and Troll gear, you gonna die in a fire.
@@kimballspeakthreetheater3318 ya hard to tell how hard it is when just about everyone crying is in trash gear and low skills. It's like they tried to b line the new endgame in an rpg with starter gear...wtf
not about this update. but i recently have been trying to pinata a copper deposite just like you did the sword. and it doent blow up.... am i doing something wrong? great video! I havent gone into the mistland since the update. but all of these are great tips
I could be wrong but I think it's because copper deposits are incorporated with lots of rock and dirt. Like a silver deposit is only a solid chunk of silver once you separate it from the surrounding terrain but copper deposits are still full of stone and dirt after you dig them out.
I had the same problem. It can sometimes be trees nearby that are stopping it from falling but it can also be the node itself. I had to keep smashing bits off it all the way around and then i found the part holding it up. Sometimes a part of the node isn't actually touching anything visually but its stopping it from falling.
Love your videos, but dang they're nauseating sometimes (why I had to give up watching your lets plays). That little circle you do with your mouse when you wanna note something is by far the worst, like instant motion sick.
As someone who also deals with motion sickness, although not to the degree in which you apparently do, I'm really sorry for this. I will take note of it and try to stop doing that.
"This is your one and only FireSpark81, with your daily dose of video. Good day guys, and welcome back to another informational Valheim Mistlands video"
what are you even talking about lol. This is the exact kind of content I've been begging for since launch - incredible terrain, some unique gameplay features besides just "run to the new spot, grab some stuff, congrats you're done with the new biome", and a magic system that's *ACTUALLY CHALLENGING,* not just "oh you leveled up, here's one button you click to destroy everything". This is one of the very few and rare games which has gotten consistently better with every single update. Anybody complaining about the new content should probably stick to minecraft or something lol
@@TherronKeen Despite I agree with you regarding all new cool mechanics and Mistlands being much more slower to progress appearing to be a great benefit, I also agree with the original comment that Mistlands are terrible and I can't say I like them much. So I 100% like all new mechanics introduced but fine style/theme to be not good. When originally the game came out and everyone expected Mistlands to appear in just like half a year, I was between a small minority not waiting for them much. Since at that moment I'd already tired of Valheim to be very focused on weather effects and visibility reducing as part of the gameplay. You have fog, dark and rain even in Meadows, in Plains Fog becomes much more dense, in Mountains you have that snowstorm hurting your eyes but on top of it, of course, there are Swamps, where it is always dark and raining. And if you remember, intially Mistlands looked as even more darker place with spiders. When they introduced the first screenshots of updated Mistlands terrain, I liked them much. I thought that despite the name you will have the opportunity to see bright sun at least sometimes there. I can't say that I don't like the resulting mechanic of mist on it's own but naturally Mistlands is not a place you like to walk through, build a base etc. Even on top of the cliffs it's not very bright there. But there is one thing I don't like about Mistlands much more. That is insects theme, resulting in ugly enemies and dungeons. If they implemented that mystery fog, why not to improve the atmosphere even more to the mystery direction? Why do you must to kill the only allies you meet in the game? Why instead of some silent abandoned ruins with secret doors and deadly traps you have to break through some sort of zerg invasion - eggs, nests, goo etc. The same can be said about Gjall. You could have all the same gameplay - some mechanical airship that fires bombs over you and drops down some mechanical or magical units that try to jump on you. Instead, you have what you have - ugly ticks. The only thing I hate my summer for is that half of it you can't walk safely in the forest or field due to the danger of being beaten by tick and die or get life changing desease... And now I have the same thing in the game - 0/10 decision from devs.
correct procunciation shows respect to the owner/user of the unique word. Whether it is a surname, last name, scientific term or fictional character. As a point of persona pride, I always make an effort, where possible (ie Google), to quickly check pronunciation. Although I did so initially out of curiosity and a desire to be correct in what I say, as a side benefit I found the owner/users of the word in question were appreciative of the fact that I had at least made an effort to pronounce the word correctly. That's my personal experience and why I find pronunciation valuable if not required.
![100 Valheim Mistlands Tips + Tricks! [Pt 1/2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YiWBaTzOv-k/mqdefault.jpg)
When you find a skull, go into the mouth and mine upwards. You just gotta hit the brain once and all the soft tissue falls down, like those rock spires in the plains when you mine the bottom. It's awesome
Nice tip!
Hey what's inside the rock spires in the plains ?
@@LandonTucker1 just rocks, but if you mine around the bottom all the way, it rains hundreds of rocks. Super easy when gathering resources legitimately

Another tip: Gjall follow your wisplight. If you unequip it they can't see you anymore.
Ptobably cause the mist gets too thick lol
Nice tip - thanks
fun fact also: you wont see anything
They are also attracted to mining sounds so if your mining they will find you.
Not true
0:25 I usually mine Petrified Skulls from the mouth entrance so I am safe from the seekers ;)
And it is actually pretty good as a temporary base!
That last tip with the Fenris armor is game changing! Thanks for another great video.
My buddy and I started this games three weeks ago. I finally got my PC, played some FPS games at first, but eventually it became time for some true sweaty-no life-gaming. I had some paid time off and he’s between jobs.
He had some valhiem experience, making it all the way to the mountain boss in his last play through before burning out in the plains stage. I was brand new to the game and ready to sink 100 hours (105.4 to be exact) into this game. We cruised through the game at a relatively high speed and killed the queen.
What an incredible time I had grinding this game. Helped to have the homie and his knowledge on the things we needed to prioritize. Can’t wait for the next big update.
One of the patches to Mistlands allows rolls to 100% remove ticks. Before it was a percentage to do so.
If you use a cart to break the ward they won't attack you and you can still build and use them as defense. Just ram the cart against the ward till it break it takes a little while but is definitely worth it
if you drop refined Eitr by the Wards it will take it out eventually without upsetting the dwarfs, thus giving you a nice army to guard the base
I call them dwarves because that's what dvergr means and Haldor refers to himself as a dwarf in one of his dialogues. But you could also call them dark elves as it's synonymous with dwarf in the mythology.
Enter the black marble skulls from the mouth. You'll get an awesome spot to place down a portal once you've mined all soft tissue and filled the skull back up to a decent ground level.
Pro-tip: Harpoon Gjall, drag to Dverger tower.... profit.
for sneaking i would recommend entering any dungeon swamp or forest preferably, then just start sneaking.
skeles cant be bothered to try to get to you and the draugr just cant
also make sure that if the skull is partially in the ground dig out the entire contents of the head until all you see is marble sometimes the soft tissue is in the dirt
Thanks for the info!
Can make those doors now!
Great stuff, Spark! Glad you're back in the game.
You can get rid of that guard in dvergr homes by throwing Eitr next to it and wait. The Sparks will destroy the Stone figuren and you can close the door before start the killing. So you can Devise the dvergr troops.
Noice.. Keep em coming.. loving your Valheim Mistlands videos.
Tip, you can mine near mistlands and this will bait ghai out of the fog make it easier to farm them.
Their just dwarves so you can call them such, if you translate their actual name to english its literally just dwarve
Yes v is pronounced as w ❤
Now you can reach level 23 comfort level (including Maypole and Yule Tree) by adding Blue Jute and hare rug.
I had a skull floating in the air, and it almost killed me when I broke the soft tissue, it all broke instantly, and made me fall down the skull xD
mistlands is now live! like your videos, would love one about changes to the game that are not mistlands specific, like fishing changes, ax has a special attack now etc
I had no idea about the door! I didn't even think to try and close it. I had always just destroyed it and replaced it with darkwood gates.
you can vaporize the silver veins the way you vaporize the jotun sword. just free the entire vein and make it float without breaking a single piece on it. then when its hovering clear of the ground pop a single piece and the entire vein just goed "pop". definitly much faster than mining the enitre vein willy nilly

yeah... its not that hard to add new recipes to existing blocks is it?
@@Stachu454 I have a suspicion they'll add them after the holidays and bug fixes. It does seem odd they didn't add them in the live release though.
Another tip you failed to mention, the devirger will fight the seekers and Gjarls, this has 2 implications.
1: You can lead those creatures back if you are overwhelmed and the garrison will help will fight them off.

How?
Black forge @@remmrek
I've been dreaming of a Fenris/Feather combo. What's your weapon preference with that? My plan was to go in with the blackmetal atgier.
Frostner + Blackmetal round shield is the best combo... Its kinda boring (Parry + special/strong attack, parry...) but its really effective. The best tactic for soliders
Solid tips FS!
2:45 is the only way to roll is you have to crouch first then press space bar??? Why isn’t dodge just 1 keybind? Devs please change this! 🙏🏼
Agreed, but with the game's current control scheme (I play on PC) I'm not sure what they would combine it to? I block and press space to roll, while it's not super intuitive, I've grown used to it quick enough.
Yea the roll/dodge in this game is super annoying.
@@Krumpulous

@@Krumpulous lol took me long to figure out you can roll but after that I killed trolls buck neked with my pinkie.
@@datuputi777 I killed trolls buck neked with my pinkie. I always wondered why i found dead trolls around with smiles on their faces :)

what is that sword you are carrying when you destroy the ward?
cheat sword. notice it does like 15,000 damage
you can hold the lantern in either hand
Well done - thanks
cheers for the info mate

KIROV REPORTING!
thanks for the videos and information
Like the harpoon action
Nice video my guy
Is it a console command / Mod / cheat table that allows you to place without a craft table and resources?
Enable debugmode and then there is a command to turn off building costs, I think it’s something like “noplacementcost”
Rad video bro
I went to 5 islands allready and no skulls.. cant progress... it becomes frustrating..
Great vid
You probably won't see this, but you can also get tissue from Dvergr areas when you break wooden crates (not the one with the tool)
@@EyebrowBandit yeah foind one tower full whit mages...
So i just can grab the boxes , thanks.
@@dvlsdeathly6102 you can also destroy boxes without getting dwarfs angry, by drooping refined eitr on then and waiting for some time :)
@@SafaNtube You can also ram into it with a cart, but it takes very long as well
