What an experience!!
Hi all,
I only wish i could have recorded my experience in this game earlier. I am a 48 year old dad who has been playing this with his 13 year old son. We attempted the third boss bonemass for the first time and what an intense time that was! I have gamed for years and this has for sure been the most fun I have had in a game.
We started off so slow, hardly inflicting any damage on Bonemass & I have to admit I got worried thinking how are we going to do this and not run out of food, potions. To make matters worse the abomination spawned, but with a stroke of luck it got stuck behind Bonemass so for a time actually stalled it.
Fast forward 15 mins, we struck the final blow on the third boss and decided to make a dash for it back to the small home we built in the swamp with a portal. As all Valheim players know, running in the swamp isn't advised. One, we ran out of stamina, two we agro'd 5 draugers, 3 skeletons, and one Wraitth....oh and the abomination was obviously not stuck anymore and was in full pursuit!
I genuinely S**t myself! My son had made the dash to the portal, as I told him to just get out of there and I mistakenly had ran the opposite way from the portal! How the hell I got out of it I will never know, I had so many mobs chasing me, my stamina seem to be stuck between 0 & 5 and a wraith wanting to give me a hug!! My son, safely back in our village had come into my room to watch me escape laughing and cheering me on......I got out!!
Most intensive 20 mins or so gaming in my life....brilliant!

Thanks for sharing such a terrific story!
To "run" through the swamps, make like a frog and jump from firm ground to rock, to branch, to a bit of weeds indicating shallow water, etc. Two or three jumps, a spot of running along a branch and and a bit of rest in a hiding place keeps you ahead of anything but a wraith.
Navigating through the swamps turned into huge fun for me once I figured this out.

Awesome hard won victory. That alone seems worth the $20 you spent and just think you still have 2 biomes to go. This is what makes Valheim such a great game in my opinion. Its a game where you truly just don't want to die because if you did the entire fight would have been a wash.

What? An experience?
Yes, it's moments like this that makes this the great game it is. The emotional roller coaster makes all the grinding tedium worth it.

I like the terror I feel when I know there's a troll behind me and I gotta run
Queens jam + honey + a yellow mushroom was what I was doing to get max stamina during those times
