Random seed, perma-death, no sleep, no cheese/exploits.

Here's the map seed I had: Nx8RSMw5Ew

Story time!

Meadows:
Hugin drops me off and immediately I grab the free berries, mushrooms, rocks and branches from the spawn circle. I run along the coast and grab flint until i have enough to make my flint axe, woodcutter bench upgrade and tanning rack. As soon as i hit the black forest to the east, I entered looking for blueberries (for 3 stamina foods!) and trolls to take out.

By day 3, I have enough leather scraps, deer hides, raspberries, bees and troll leather to be done with the meadows for the rest of the game (other than fine wood.) I murder Eikthyr and head off to the black forest!

Black Forest:
It took a long time to find a good spot for a base. I wanted to find the elder spawn to see if I could build right next to it, but alas, he turned out to be on another island. I travel quite far from the spawn point because I cant seem to find a spot with good copper, tin and crypts. Thankfully, in my lengthy travels, I found several trolls, letting me get a full upgraded set pretty quick.

At last I found the perfect spot! 2 copper nodes near the shore with a crypt between them! There were only 4 crypts in the whole region, but thankfully I managed to get 28 sertling cores out of them. Between the troll armor and my stag breaker, they were quick and easy.

I mine only enough tin and copper my cultivator (top priority to give plants time to grow), my bronze axe, my cauldron and my fermenter in that order. I "borrow" bronze from my fermenter to make the adaze needed to upgrade my troll leather, then deconstruct it to remake my fermenter. With a portal built, karve-boat built and the supplies needed for a 2nd portal loaded in the boat-storage, it's off to the elder's island (to the east).

The elder is the easiest boss once you have a bone tower shield as he can't even scratch you when blocking. He dies on day 9.

Swamp:
The elder is dead and it's time to explore the swamp to the south of him. I popped my eikthyr power, poison potion and stamina foods and went exploring to find turnips (3 turnips for cauldron upgrade is top priority) This worked out so perfect. The swamp was HUGE and there were many crypts near the edge of the black forest, and i found a turnip plant pretty quick.

I set up a chest at the front of the crypts I'm working on, fill them with iron, then run back and forth filling my boat. 140 iron gets mined surprisingly fast and I'm heading back across the ocean to my base, killing a serpent on the way to make the best food in the game: Serpent stew.

I make an iron mace and banded shield in preparation for bonemass, I was planning on running troll leather all the way into the plains, but the iron was so plentiful and quick to mine, I ended up crafting iron armor as well, then headed out with my sausages, serpent stew and muck shakes to kill bonemass.

Bonemass is a nightmare if you are ill-prepared and don't know how to dodge, but if you do, he is pretty easy. He died on day 18.

Mountains:
This was the hardest biome of the whole run. Stone golems kept chasing my off the silver mines, and I suck at fighting those as just a couple failed parries = death. It was slow going as I ran from one deposit to the next, trying to escape the golems, but eventually i got enough silver for my draugerfang bow, frostner, and a wolf cape.

Modor spawn was very unlucky. I was on the east side of the world and the closest one was on the far west side. I loaded up my boat with one dragon egg, hoping the other two would be next to Modor. It took 3 days to sail across the world, but I killed enough serpents along the way to have enough stew for the rest of the game.

Modor is the hardest boss in the game I'd say, or maybe it was because I was using my old iron mace to take him down. Stone golems, drakes and wolves kept spawning, during the fight, and i had to retreat more than once and had some close calls, but at last, I got the final blow on day 27 and headed through my portal to make a windmill (turned out to be a waste since I didn't make anything with the flour) and flax processor.

Plains:
On my voyage to Modor, I passed a lot of plains, marking the fuhling camps on my map as I passed them. I was sooooo far from my base though, that I decided to completely skip black-metal gear, as the voyage back would take far too long. Instead, I raided their camps for flax and made a set of padded armor with the leftover iron i had saved. No weapon upgrades, and still only my banded iron shield.

I didn't bother to kill any loxes, since their food isn't that much better than the wolf skewers, serpent stew and eyescream I already had. My mace wouldn't work too well against them anyway.

I took the risk of leading whole fuhling camps into tar-pits, letting them slaughter each other, then I'd go in and mop up. I found the yagulth spawn... and he was on the same island! And the first 4 totems were pretty quick to find... the last one? Not so much, but at last i found it in the top of an outpost tower.

With my fire resist mead, stamina and health meads, padded armor and level 2 frostner, It was time to take out Yagulth.

Wow did i screw this up! There were a pack of nearby loxes that I hoped to just avoid during the fight... and I did.... but what I didn't avoid was the tar pit. Oh man was my heart pounding as I got tarred and poisoned while yagulth rained down meteor showers. I used my bow to take out the tar monsters, but I cam so close to death.

At last i regained control of the fight, hiding behind the giant plains stones to shield me from the meteors, smacking yagulth in the face with frostner. After a long fight, he finally went down and it was time to take all the trophies from my black forest base and turn them in to the spawn point. (yep, I used eikthyr power the whole game because I didn't want to take such a long time running the boss trophies so far back to the spawn.)

Day 37 hit on my run back, but all the heads were up and the run was complete! This was a huge jump over my last record, which was 54 days. I'm not sure how much more time i can shave off on my next run.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed hearing about my adventure!
