    I hope more people begin to play Valheim, I had a friend buy it for me when it came out and I just didn’t give it enough of a chance, but I started playing two weeks ago and I’m at 100 hours lmao, idk if the death mechanics changed or what, did your stuff used to disappear? Not sure why I’m so much more hooked this time. I just remember losing all my stuff like twice last time not being able to get it back and quitting. I just hope they don’t take too long in ash lands and deep north so the game can be fully released and it will shine, I definitely think they need more ocean content/islands some kinds of crypts to make sailing more interesting since everyone complains about transporting metal but I love it, I just think it would be cool if eventually you can use the boss trophies on the portals the transfer the next level of metal minus never being able to portal the current tier of metal but all the previous ones if you have the bosses defeated but either way I’ll be happy as I enjoy the sailing I just want more reasons to stop and explore, they could definitely add more foods and maybe another set of mid game gear from like turtle hide or shark skin or something

    Really helpful video coming in late to Valheim. One thing to mention is the fire resistance from the Fenris armor doesn't stack with Barley Wine. Resistance effects in general do not stack in this game and if you have multiple active you get the effect of the stronger one.

    great guide! I feel like you left out the tactics aspect of fighting yag legit; which is mainly, identifying his attack animations and dodging the meteors with the stone fingers. weathering the blue aoe dot is the best time to get dmg in, if you have the stam/hp.
    Also, a bit more on tar pits would have been good as they can be gruesome. Aggroing fulings into tar pits is an excellent way to wipe camps and tar pits; provided there are tar pits nearby.

    Avoiding deathsquitoes is bad advice for those new to plains. You do not want to be in a position where you're kiting 3-4 fulings looking for a spot to safely shoot them and you get stunned from behind the deathsquito you tried to go around earlier. Dispose of threats as you see them.

    Pro tip for spending less calories on pronouncing "vegviser" (this is one of several correct pronounciations) : "Vay-visa".
    The "g" can be turned in to an ay sound, and the "r" can be muted for simplicity. That way, you're not juggling consonants at the end of syllables, which makes it a much simpler word.

    Killin Abominations is pretty easy regardless of Equip.
    All you need is a Bow, a Pickaxe and probally a Hoe.
    Find a Surtling Flame, lower it down till you have ankle-deep Watrer (not more, you need the Movement unimpeded later.
    The Water will kill all spawning Surtlings fast - and you can kite the Abomination over the Flame to kill it superfast (40 Damage per second).
    And the Root harnesk may be nice, but it grants weakness towards Fire - which some Fuling (Goblins) have, onehitting you.
    - The Dragon Helmet is great as it has good Armor and no Movement Penalty.
    Else, I really learned to love the Fenris Armor from the Mountain Dungeons - the added Movement is insaneley useful in the plains.
    - Deathskitos can easily be onehitted by a well timed attack when they charge before they can do anything.
    - Also, a Serpent Shield may be heavy, but get compensated with Fenris Armor - plus offer Pierce Resist without downside. You even move outside the Fuling attacks by just walking back, allowin the thrust-counters to go in.
    - Always have the best Bow you can have and a trusty Sword.

      Actually they are easy to evade. When a growth stops to spit tar on you, sprint aside and then run it down and finish it with your decent Frostner. It is easy now for growths will stay stationary for 5 secs after their attack. Root mask can also help to reduce their poison effect, should you be hit by them.
      Important: once they hit you, don't try to run away. You have a very slight chance for that. Be aggressive, run them down, that is your only real chance.

    Recommending to eat the Serpent Stew is not at all a good idea, as it's quite expensive to make and hunting for Serpents is kinda a waste of time. You should rather eat the Wolf Skewers as they are easy to make and not that much worse than the Serpent Stew.
    Also, why the heck would you eat the Onion Soup rather than Eyescream? Eyescream is just a better food all around and it lasts longer. It's also very cheap to make provided you haven't been thought out your Grey Dwarf eyes.
