What is the most frustrating experience you have had with one of the inhabitants of Valhiem?

For me it was a Troll. I had just finished building my house. I stepped back to admire my work. I heard a growl from behind me and turned in time to see a log smash me across the face. Collapsed half the structure, and broke my bed. Troll ended up killing me with a second swing and I ended up spawning two islands away.

Yep. Why would you tame them somewhere else?
Though, building a damn fence path and frightening the boar with a torch works quite as well

I tame wild boars by letting them chase me into a pre-built taming pen. They are quite predictable. The long fence path thing seems like a time consuming way to do something easy - heck, you essentially run to your taming location.

It's the tamed ones that seem programmed to completely piss you off. Without a harpoon it's like pushing a noodle and pushing is about all you can do. The torch thing seems to just make tamed boars run around like crazy - irrational panic. I recently built a boar breeding tower and getting the tames into position was as close as I've come to rage quitting.

I'm actually glad that the tamed boars seem to have some personality rather than just being meat sacks. Another facet on the jewel of Valheim.

Moving a tamed boar without a harpoon is sometimes enough to make a Viking go postal. I don't need to describe it - just about everybody has experienced it. Herding cats is a no brainer compared to this. The devs have a ***evil streak. Demonic laughter is the background noise of their workday. And that's how it should be.

Are we counting carts? Damn i hate carts with stone or ore. That's how they made berserks in the old time, they just gave them a cart full of stone and some uneven terrain

You probably know, but still
Punch 'em once, run away to base, tame in the base. Works like a charm

although i guess i should probably hate wolves. "You are being hunted..." still makes me squirm uneasily, which is probably the point of every event

2* sword and spear fulings , them almost one shot you with H&H changes even with full padded and 2Hp and 1 stam TOP foods ( serpent stew , lox pie and blood puding )
2* wolves if you fail to tame them : you dont want to kill them but you have a time limit until despawn because of dawn , and them can easily can kill you while

Flying drake rats. Super anoying when you build something on mountain.

Its the only mob in game that you cant prevent from attacking you with a ditch as it flys over (slimes can still jump it in swamp/raid -- but usualy you build on trees there)

They can also kill your 2 star pigs if raid happens in meadows.

Second would be tar slimes as i always have to carry poision resistance and fire arrows to deal with them (wasting my inventory slots)

You are being hunted by wolves. And that can happen anywhere. at least 6 of them and if they dont kill you they will knock you off the mountain killing you and leaving a perminent skull on the map.

Permanent? Only it you want it to be. After I no longer need it I usually right-click it and poof, its gone.

Like Blankitosonic said 2 star Fulings (and Berserkers). On the plus side, I'm getting better at taking them out. Need good food, Bonemass power, lots of stamina, Padded Armor.

Me to. Ideally I sneak shoot them with a needle arrow and keep shooting until they're down 75% hp before drawing my sword. This guy came outta nowhere and scared the hell out of me. It was close combat the whole time and I was screaming like a little girl :steamhappy:

God I hate these critters.
