Big room, no chimney is easiest.

I'd go for a higher ceiling on a larger built structure rather than a chimney on a smaller house. Or both a high ceiling & a lowered ''recessed'' fire pit to match. I typically build medium to lar..

I typically do a 2 wide firepit at the back of the longhouse A-frame. I exhaust the fires out the rear instead of the top and put a wall/fireplace mantle in front to keep smoke out from house and to h..

I breed mine in the wild without enclosures, taming 2-3 lox at a time as 3 is the most common size cabinet of lox one finds in the wild. Preferably I will find a group of 3 lox near a few good sized r..

I've got a large Lox farm going and haven't had any issues with mobs coming in and stirring them up. I have a nice big stone wall around the property. I've usually got about 20 roaming about at any on..

Well, it's a giant tree.Use an Axe. You should of learned this already from fighting Elder./thread

Parry one of their hits with an iron buckler and use special hit from bronze sword , easily rip 1/2 of their HP hit that

Once you got iron armor (chest and legs are enough) and an iron-banded shield, a bronze(!) axe is enough to fell them pretty quickly. The attacks can be blocked with the shield.

Kite them through a surtling fire, use an axe for cqc, fire arrows for ranged attacks, or tamed Wolves if you can aquire some, they rip anything to shreds.

Use your axe, stay under his "head" and use your shield to block his attacks = and you'll see that its a chilly breeze to take them down

For how enemies spawn, building defences is actually a waste of time. They only spawn within your range, so if you occupy enough land with buildings that kick enemies out, you won't need any defences ..

I thought raids, once started, have a timer that runs down to zero after which it they 'end'.As long as this timer is going new mobs will replace any you kill.Is this not the case? Can you actually ki..

Here's my opinion that you totally asked for.Ditch is good. Way too good. So I don't use them. So I'm mostly going to talk like ditches aren't a thing you can do, mostly.Palisades. Only worth the inve..

You don't need a moat, you don't need to raise earthen walls. Even the palisades are only good to protect your lifestock. The spikes are good to thin the attackers, but not much more.The only thing yo..

*Ahem* Tame some 2 star Wolves, set them loose around your house, and they will efficiently kill everything except other Wolves. And your other tames, ofc.

Thanks for the laughs, guys'n'gals. I needed that. :)

You should see the run I made with no portals, long roads with tons of 2x2x2 houses with firepit and any finewood furniture I can cram inside. Your mini-bases should be separated based off your Stamin..

Fire - Weak ResistanceSlash and Lightning - Normal ResistanceThe rest either Immune or Very Resistant.

I have 2 fire geysers near by. Make them walk over them til they die.

They resist the hell out of pierce so bows aren't so good. Axes and swords work best.https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Abomination

Only weak to fire. Quickest way to kill it is to bait a troll from a neighbouring black forest into fighting them. Then you help him out by hacking the ♥♥♥ with an axe. If the troll is alive aft..

I would have done that on my regular ruleset save. I will use the devcommands if I get stuck or if it will take me hours to recover. I will use them freely in build saves and In my hard rulesets there..

My apologies, @Complaintdesk, @Behind_You but that is simply not true. They're called "devcommands" (developer commands) for a reason. And before that, they were called "imacheater"..

You should be. I've had it happened to me often enough that I was pelted with stones and I wondered where they came from... ;)

Don't lose that caution altogether, sometimes archers get spawned inside rock formations where they can still shoot out. Not sure if that has been fixed yet.Makes for one hell of a prank though.

There are sometimes skeletons in the meadows near burial sites. Even though I have encountered them very rarely, but I think they do come out at night, although I haven't specifically checked on that...

Need feathers? Bird hunting is hard, right? The best time is during storms, birds land under trees and stay still much longer.
