@@Zeppelinschaffner22 The jerky is trash, the best jerky gives you 66 total stats while the lox meat and bread gives you 99 and 93 respectively. You're sacrificing like 32 hp (compared to just eating the wolf skewer) to get a whopping 12 more stamina. Even worse if you compare it to better late game foods. Unless you're just doing some farm work or want to be some stealthy glass cannon dps its a terrible trade off. They need to increase it to 40-40 to be even worth considering and even that is low since its just 80 total stats. TL;DR 2hp foods or 2 stam food is the way.
I'll tell you what... I'll NEVER eat the entrails of an undead corpse. I mean...Is that cannibalism? Or, Just plain GROSS!...lol... I'm NOT eating wolves either. It's a carnivore thing. We don't eat each other.
Another tip: if you struggle with hp at iron+ stage, you can go kill some serpents and leave half of them cooked while making stew from the other half. That way, when you take on a boss, you can eat both the stew and the meat to get A LOT of health to ensure your victory. For noobs like me, who struggle with parrying and dodging, this ought to do the trick just right.
I went through the whole game not eating any serpent stew for the exact same reason - it's a challenge to find and I didn't want to waste it. Now I'm at the stage where I only have the last boss to do, and serpent stew is the food I have most left of because I didn't want to use it.
That sucks, man. I'm lucky enough to have lots of serpents on my world. Serpent meat floats, so unless you care about the trophy and scales you can just murder them at sea, which is easy.
For Necks, the ideal spot is coast where a river also flows into the sea. You'll find them not only along the coast but also quite far inland along the banks of the river. Similar to your tip about venturing into Mountains early for Onions, I always venture into Swamp early to find Turnips. Early in Bronze Age, I build a Karve and set out to explore. Firstly to get a better understanding of the map and find good biome spots for later. Secondly, to hopefully find the Trader and get Megingjord and the fishing gear. And thirdly to find Turnips. If I'm passing a Swamp, I don't just mark it on the map for later. If it's daylight, I land the boat on the coast of the adjoining biome (Meadows or BF), hop out and then proceed cautiously along the fringes of the Swamp. I don't go far in and if I see Blobs, Oozers or starred Draugr, I beat a hasty retreat. I also leave immediately if it gets dark, I don't want to be facing Wraiths at this point in the game. All I'm looking for is a single Turnip plant giving three seeds. Once I've found that, I start creating my Turnip seed stock, turning those first 3 seeds into 40 or 50 by the time I kill the Elder and am ready to tackle the Swamp properly. If I wait until I'm ready to mine Iron before finding my first Turnips, there's a huge lag while I build up seed stock before I can benefit from Turnip-based foods.
Died half a dozen times trying to get some turnip seeds back from swamp. There is also 2 karves stuck up there as well. -.- oh not yet got those seeds back either.
I go Lox pie, fish wrap, bread. Easy to maintain if you have a good barley farm. I'll sometimes switch up blood pudding in there if I want extra stamina instead of health from the fish wraps.
I'm going to politely disagree with you about using Serpent Stew. Bosses are, in general, less dangerous than venturing into an unexplored swamp biome or an unexplored mountain biome. If it is your first time going into either biome (ESPECIALLY at night), absolutely eat that Serpent Stew. If you are going into the mountains in bronze armor to fetch onion seeds, YES take that Serpent Stew. Exploration in Valheim is much, much more dangerous than fighting bosses. When fighting a boss, you (generally) have the best equipment of that tier and are prepared with meads. You have the luxury of summoning the boss when you are ready. Not so much when you are just exploring a new biome and have not gained the new gear for that biome.
The first time especially. I'm in my first playthrough rn, and I always push into new areas sooner than I should lol. I get excited, and wanna explore. My first week in the game, I built a raft and took on a sea serpent trying to get to the other side of my giant horseshoe island after getting mad that i didnt have a pickaxe to mine some floating island that reminded me of the reefback whales or whatever in subnautica lol
Very good summary as always Still i would recommend to sort it by biome and not by "age" because "technically" there are buildungs with core wood in meadows and you can take down birches by slamming other trees into them so TECHNICALLY you can build a finewood bow, which is enough to kill wolves and then build a trail of campfires into the mountains so you can have onion seeds before bronze age. And wolf meat as well. Technically...
I’ve been doing 2 stamina 1 hp. Don’t need a ton a health if you parry Onion soup bread and lox meat pies are my go too good combo. All ingredients either fwrmable or very easy to find
I farm half of the Lox I breed, and release the other half into the area around my Plains base. So I don't need to parry or have high Health or Stamina. I don't even need to fight tbh. If I encounter Fulings, Squitoes or even Growths, I just run to the nearest Lox pet. Seeing as I have around a dozen scattered around my base, they're not hard to find. The Lox smash enemies in one or two hits, I pick up the loot, heal the Lox with Cloudberries and proceed on my merry way. I have more than 50 each of Fish Wraps, Bread and Lox Pie in storage but I'm not using them. Sausages, Onion Soup and Wolf Jerky provide all the Health and Stam I need. And that's with me wearing Troll chest armour and legs to avoid movement speed penalties.
@@porous9 nice. I like the fish wraps. But I hate fishing so haven’t made any in a while lol Have a iron chest each of lox meat pies. One of bread and one of onion soup lol. Slowly phased out all my other foods once I got those crops growing and got my first couple lox to start breeding lol
@@kirkcrawford5091 yeah, fishing seems to have been nerfed slightly. Fish spawns seem to have been thinned out a bit and I catch a lot fewer Tuna than I used to. They often just cruise or circle near the bait but won't take it. Time was, I'd often return home from a day of fishing with 30 or more Fish. Now I'm happy to get 20. But it's still good value. Just 2 Fish and 4 Barley Flour for Fish Wraps makes it a top-tier food imo.
@@porous9 oh definetly is great food. I find farming lox and gathering cloudberries to make the pie much more fun and as you said efficient as well IMO
It took me seemingly forever to find onions. It took me an entire day playing hopping from island to island to island with a mountain. Numerous explorer portals to uncharted areas. Many of the mountain biomes i went to even some with gigantic mountains the cabins and stone towers did not have any onions. It was only when i boated again to another island that had another alter of Modor with a big ass mountain did i find onions galore and over a dozen stone towers and numerous cabins. That was an adventure.
The problem is no longer the stamina but the stamina regen. Even if you had 1000 stamina, you could exhaust it in a matter of seconds. I find having more stamina to be complety useless. The only thing that matters is the stamina regen, which is atrocious, even so when you are not rested.
I can do more at the start of the battle. Then when I need the boost, Medium stamina mead. Wallop, 160 stamina back. Obviously has a horrible cool down, but if you have the stamina bar then suddenly you can do a load of stuff, be it hit things really a lot or run far far away. In any event it's a playstyle. I'm not bashing anyone who uses 2h/1s, but my playstyle is a big stamina bar.
Totally agree about rest buff. I am in the habit of putting campfires just inside the door of swamp crypts. It counts as a sheltered fire, Get dry and a rest buff ready for all that digging.
2!! Wow! UA-cam really trying to make sure people install them adblockers aren't they. Sorry about that m8. Super glad you enjoy the content enough to not let it bug you though.
I do two stamina and one health, with an easy to make onion soup, bread, and sausages. I get enough HP from it and the extra stamina keeps me moving, dodging, and fighting longer.
To make your life easier, setup your early base near neck spawns, I managed to farm over 100 neck tail without leaving my base, when I would see neck I would shoot them with my bow and just go grab the tails when it was convenient. Levelling my bow skill at the same time and NEVER had to go out the way to go gather tails. Once you are out of early game tails become pretty redundant too, so for me 100+ should do all I need.
@@Siks7Ate9 That's the seed you've gotten then. Usually they start popping up around second ring of Islands, and every seed has at least few of them. If you work on them they're decent source of entrails, although i recommend disabling those spawners first if you want to make a farm in there.
I've found that, asside from initial spawn, a lot of necks have overlapping spawn points and you have to clear one before the other will spawn. There's this spot on one of my favorite maps where every day I have to clear the 3 necks at the north end of a sliver of water and the 4 that spawn at the southern end around 30m away will immediately spawn once I do this.
Bread, blood puddin and lox pie / serpent stew. That's my "serious business" meal. As an archer with shield and knife, stam is awesome. Honey / Cloudberries and Lox meat / Wolf jerk In daily stuff.
I like popping all 3 stamina (or balanced if I don't have pure stam) when I'm doing tedious stuff in the base like planting crops or building structures. Or if I'm running around the meadows being a sniper vs deer & necks
Don't really agree with ya for boss food on 4:45 as soon as you get access to bronze you can easily farm serpents which is as good as lox. Also you get the serpent stew with shrooms and honey which are easy to get. Sooo as soon as you can go for serpent stew! At least for bosses

Wait people have problems getting serpents?! They respawn every night at the same spot. Just go on an sailing adventure mark the spots where you find serpents, put portals nearby and boom!
Finding serpents is mostly luck. Never came across one despite 163h spent playing the game. Thats the same reason for why players also usually dont have/know of the serpent shield.
@@JawBr depending on your gear and food you might need the most part of the night to kill the serpent and find the second one before the morning comes. Kill the second, cook the meat or even get the stew and it's evening already
There might be issues with serpent spawn rates depending on your world seed. I've seen conflicting reports on UA-cam, Reddit, etc about "invisible serpent spawners", "spawn timers", "storms causing more serpents to spawn", etc. The only consistent information seems to be "if serpents are fairly common on your world, you are lucky".
There are way more people here having two stamina meals and one health meal than i thought. I always thought that having more stamina is relatively useless and that the only thing that matters is the stamina regen. I tried the two stamina food meta but i was not convinced at all, once you empty it once, you still have to wait like a dumbass for 15 sec to do things again, so i find hp to be more reliable than a longer stamina bar which last maybe 3 sec more in a fight.
Depends on your weapon. Spear is burst damage, so high stamina goes very well with spear and shield. Same for Ooze Bomb + Stagbreaker/Iron Sledge/Atgeir. If you are slugging it out with a sword/axe/club + shield, then slow and steady with high health is better. Problem with Firespark is him implying that "using a spear or AoE weapon is niche", which is not true.
It's not just about waiting 15 seconds like an idiot, it's about management. When to wait/kite/recharge, when to pop that stamina mead and go ballistic, when to hold back a little and save your stamina. Practice your parrys so that you can stagger most any mob in the game and use your stamina wisely on critical hits.
It took me about 20 minutes to find 1 spawn of it in my swamp biome. That is actively looking for it with eikthyr buff and covering as much ground as fast as possible. It’s a rather big swamp though. I have not seen any others in the other swamp biomes I’ve visited. I’ve always struggled to find them. I would just look for a swamp big enough where you’d be surprised if you didn’t find bone mass in it. That would be where I would look. The swamp I found it in did have a bone mass spawn. I wonder if you can find them in chests like the onion seeds?
Took me awhile to get my first one, immediately started farming to turn them to seeds in order to get a good farm up.... Now I've tripped over a bunch after that headache
Yes sir. Had that. Two huge swamp Biomes with enough iron to push me right throught the age but not a single turnip seed. I beat Bonemass on carrot soup and deer stew. Also same experience in the mountains w onions. horrible seed. pun intended.
Turn the foliage setting to "low". Makes them sooo much easier to spot. I think they increased the spawn rate of them because I've found a couple dozen, in the span of 2 swamps. Before the update, I had cleared 3 large swamps without a single turnip.
hey, firespark random question but I don't know if you know what's going on here. I and my friend have a dedicated server for us in valhiem and completely randomly like half our plant farm will just despawn. I've never had a problem with this until being on a dedicated server
spending 1 minute telling us how to get nek's? pretty sure we all got that down before coming here. serpents? nobody gets enough serpents. i grinded out 100 chunks of serpent meat and NEVER want to see another serpent.
The Onions is a spoiler because players are not likely to go to the Mountain biome and won't know about onions.I never knew where the onions are and since i know now i still won't get them because i shouldn't know about onions..For boss fights i find they are harder now and mostly because i lack stamina so i would say for a boss fight stamina is better.I hardly ever take dmg from a boss unless my stamina runs out and i get caught a few times.
@@loganthesaint Weird things happen in Valheim. I found so much silver on the first tiny mountain I found in my restart after H&H that i never needed to look for another mountain... except there were no onions on that mountain. As a new vanilla valheim player, i never would have known onions existed.
It's *completely* valid to decide that you want to progress in the intended order and to not head to the mountains until you beat the swamps, but it's also valid for others to decide to brave the mountains before taking on the swamp boss. Nothing's broken by the fact you know some foods exist.
Unless you're a pepega that gets hit over and over again, all that health is just sitting there looking pretty. If you learn each mob and how they attack with their animations, you'll be dodging and parrying in no time avoiding all damage. I was parrying fulings in level 2 iron armor and level 2 bronze buckler with turnip stew, carrot soup, and sausages. This advice is poor and your usage of "best" and "should" SHOULD be tailored to something more specific that tailors to health. Where do you need all that much health? when parrying? no. when mining? no. when building? no. Stamina over health in almost all scenarios. Your influence is way too big to be giving advice this poor.
After the H&H updates hp also affects staggering threshold. A deathsquito bite from your back can easily stagger you, if low in hp, while you busy dealing with lox/fulings.
@@ShiroIsMyName honey is renewable and easy to name - all of those berries should be saved for health potions and tasty mead potions in end game. Queens jam is a waste of resources for very little gain.
@@themorganrobertson the only point where honey wins is indeed renewability, but for the rest, I find queens jam superior, as I farm enough for both the jam, and the potions.
Depends on what you're doing. I.e. Hunting serpents or fishing favor stamina-enhancing foods like bread i.e. And getting weat and transforming it to flour isn't a big deal at this stage of the game anyways
No it's not lol. 5 flour = 1 bread. What other stamina food are you gonna make at plains tier? Blood pudding is awful because bloodbags are better used for medium healing mead and it costs flour anyway.
I feel like they basically made 2 health and 2 stam that are worthwhile for each tier. Just depends which one you want to favor
+ The jerky as a balanced 3rd
@@Zeppelinschaffner22 The jerky is trash, the best jerky gives you 66 total stats while the lox meat and bread gives you 99 and 93 respectively.

Wait people have problems getting serpents?! They respawn every night at the same spot. Just go on an sailing adventure mark the spots where you find serpents, put portals nearby and boom!
I had some problems, 60 hrs in my new save and only found 2 serpents
Finding serpents is mostly luck. Never came across one despite 163h spent playing the game. Thats the same reason for why players also usually dont have/know of the serpent shield.
@@JawBr depending on your gear and food you might need the most part of the night to kill the serpent and find the second one before the morning comes. Kill the second, cook the meat or even get the stew and it's evening already
I get one almost every time i go out at night in a storm.
There might be issues with serpent spawn rates depending on your world seed. I've seen conflicting reports on UA-cam, Reddit, etc about "invisible serpent spawners", "spawn timers", "storms causing more serpents to spawn", etc.
The only consistent information seems to be "if serpents are fairly common on your world, you are lucky".
Please do Stamina build please...
Niche roles video, please! Your videos are concise and informative. Keep up the good work.
Them fish wraps is where its at. Super easy
There are way more people here having two stamina meals and one health meal than i thought. I always thought that having more stamina is relatively useless and that the only thing that matters is the stamina regen. I tried the two stamina food meta but i was not convinced at all, once you empty it once, you still have to wait like a dumbass for 15 sec to do things again, so i find hp to be more reliable than a longer stamina bar which last maybe 3 sec more in a fight.
Depends on your weapon.
Spear is burst damage, so high stamina goes very well with spear and shield. Same for Ooze Bomb + Stagbreaker/Iron Sledge/Atgeir. If you are slugging it out with a sword/axe/club + shield, then slow and steady with high health is better.
Problem with Firespark is him implying that "using a spear or AoE weapon is niche", which is not true.
It's not just about waiting 15 seconds like an idiot, it's about management. When to wait/kite/recharge, when to pop that stamina mead and go ballistic, when to hold back a little and save your stamina. Practice your parrys so that you can stagger most any mob in the game and use your stamina wisely on critical hits.
@@Tromador I find this way funner than eating things that let me take more hits. Way funner and rewarding to try and NOT get hit lol
I just END encounters in one full stamina bar with 2stam/1hp setups
Also the first 50% of your stamina bar regens faster then the other half so higher base Stam is higher regen (first 50%)
Wait u find onions on the mountains , the snow mountains?
Yep
in the chests, in the abandoned houses... for anyone else seeing this who didn't know. I know this comment is old :]
yeah i like a tank guide, tower shield and spear. and maybe a hunter one, when i sneak all the time with my dagger and buckler backstabbing animals.
You must have read my mind! I was thinking about which foods I should be making to get the best bang for my buck so to speak.
I'm struggling to find turnip seeds! Covered 2 swamps so far with none anywhere. I think a patch reduced them??
Ouch, I can’t stop finding turnip seeds in my world seed
It took me about 20 minutes to find 1 spawn of it in my swamp biome. That is actively looking for it with eikthyr buff and covering as much ground as fast as possible. It’s a rather big swamp though. I have not seen any others in the other swamp biomes I’ve visited. I’ve always struggled to find them. I would just look for a swamp big enough where you’d be surprised if you didn’t find bone mass in it. That would be where I would look. The swamp I found it in did have a bone mass spawn. I wonder if you can find them in chests like the onion seeds?
Took me awhile to get my first one, immediately started farming to turn them to seeds in order to get a good farm up.... Now I've tripped over a bunch after that headache
Yes sir. Had that. Two huge swamp Biomes with enough iron to push me right throught the age but not a single turnip seed. I beat Bonemass on carrot soup and deer stew. Also same experience in the mountains w onions. horrible seed. pun intended.
Turn the foliage setting to "low". Makes them sooo much easier to spot. I think they increased the spawn rate of them because I've found a couple dozen, in the span of 2 swamps. Before the update, I had cleared 3 large swamps without a single turnip.
just gonna eat whatever i can get but thanks for the video. good to know what the options are.
Don’t you need the spice rack for the carrot soup?
No.
Awesome thanks, since the upgrade I find that I don’t have the energy in game as I once did, this shall help.
New info video is informative ftw 💜
So sour that I ate up all my pudding when HnH first came out because of the time disparity w/stew, and pie. Then they reversed the bread, and this >.
hey, firespark random question but I don't know if you know what's going on here. I and my friend have a dedicated server for us in valhiem and completely randomly like half our plant farm will just despawn. I've never had a problem with this until being on a dedicated server
are they planted too close together or do creatures come in a attack i.e. the dumb greydwarfs throwing rocks
Please do a stamina video
Base foods please.
From honey and cloud berries, to boar meat and wolf jerky. Running everywhere feels good, but dying from fall damage doesn't.
Lately, I've been using lox pie, blood puddin', and black soup
The wolf SKYRRRR 9:31
spending 1 minute telling us how to get nek's? pretty sure we all got that down before coming here. serpents? nobody gets enough serpents. i grinded out 100 chunks of serpent meat and NEVER want to see another serpent.
Use the cheat code
The Onions is a spoiler because players are not likely to go to the Mountain biome and won't know about onions.I never knew where the onions are and since i know now i still won't get them because i shouldn't know about onions..For boss fights i find they are harder now and mostly because i lack stamina so i would say for a boss fight stamina is better.I hardly ever take dmg from a boss unless my stamina runs out and i get caught a few times.
Why wouldn’t players be in the mountain biome?
I accidentally found the onions in the mountains.
@@loganthesaint Weird things happen in Valheim. I found so much silver on the first tiny mountain I found in my restart after H&H that i never needed to look for another mountain... except there were no onions on that mountain. As a new vanilla valheim player, i never would have known onions existed.
Did you seriously click on a guide and then complain about spoilers?
It's *completely* valid to decide that you want to progress in the intended order and to not head to the mountains until you beat the swamps, but it's also valid for others to decide to brave the mountains before taking on the swamp boss. Nothing's broken by the fact you know some foods exist.
I refuse to eat anything but raspberries and cooked neck tails. Guess I'm picky but my wolves are too they won't eat 🐺
right from the gecko haha 3:30
Just go fishing the necks will find you.
Right from the gecko!
i love u man
was hoping they added options for breeding deer, necks, serpents, and leeches.
to the hearth and home update.
Unless you're a pepega that gets hit over and over again, all that health is just sitting there looking pretty. If you learn each mob and how they attack with their animations, you'll be dodging and parrying in no time avoiding all damage. I was parrying fulings in level 2 iron armor and level 2 bronze buckler with turnip stew, carrot soup, and sausages. This advice is poor and your usage of "best" and "should" SHOULD be tailored to something more specific that tailors to health. Where do you need all that much health? when parrying? no. when mining? no. when building? no. Stamina over health in almost all scenarios. Your influence is way too big to be giving advice this poor.
After the H&H updates hp also affects staggering threshold. A deathsquito bite from your back can easily stagger you, if low in hp, while you busy dealing with lox/fulings.
poggers :3
honey is better than queen jam
Queens jam is 6 more health, 5 more stamina, 300 more seconds and 1 more hp per tick compared to honey. Queens jam is superior.
@@ShiroIsMyName honey is renewable and easy to name - all of those berries should be saved for health potions and tasty mead potions in end game. Queens jam is a waste of resources for very little gain.
@@themorganrobertson the only point where honey wins is indeed renewability, but for the rest, I find queens jam superior, as I farm enough for both the jam, and the potions.
Maybe don't do the whole guide on the first take??
Bread is a total waste of flour
Depends on what you're doing. I.e. Hunting serpents or fishing favor stamina-enhancing foods like bread i.e. And getting weat and transforming it to flour isn't a big deal at this stage of the game anyways
I get some use of it seeing as I barely fish and lox are harder to farm than my… well, farm full of barley.
No it's not lol. 5 flour = 1 bread. What other stamina food are you gonna make at plains tier? Blood pudding is awful because bloodbags are better used for medium healing mead and it costs flour anyway.
what do you suggest otherwise?
