Folks never having to feed themselves nor hunt or build their own shelter, vocalizing opinions based on experience. Used Birch and Beach for what? Nothing. Birch Branches are used for fire, if you have a Magnesium fire starter. I'll spend months in a forest you have no business in. I was there at 10. Where were you? getting spoon fed chicken nuggets?

what are you even going on about?

Hobos thinking they know how to survive because one time mom didn't make their meal. Amazing. Learn a trade and some viable skills. Then talk ♥♥♥♥ when the real world hit's you with a legitimate challenge.

What the hell did this thread turn into.

lol was wondering the same thing ..... more on topic though, Deathsquitos are a breeze if you just know how to handle them, even in troll hide armor and bronze gear. as long as its only 1, maybe 2 if you're quick enough, they aren't any real issue. even on a boat, especially on a boat since you can see them coming easily.

also as someone else mentioned in another thread, they really are just glass cannons ... they may hit like trucks but they can't take much abuse themselves.

I don't care where you grew up. You and your people mean nothing to me. I just know that you didn't. 5 with my first Boar with a 45-70 gov. 7 with my first from flint above. I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ where you think you grew up. I'm just here to remind you. I'll live beyond you and yours. Always.

It could, but why should everything fit a cliche?

exactly, the point is to keep the player alert and aware

I hope this is pre vanilla development. Anyone ever smash Deer Antler against rock and ore? No worky. works better as a gardening tool resource. Some bridges go pretty far in this game even though I still love it and have huge hopes for it. Super strict linear Biome progression I hope is something that fades from this game. I can build a ship before I can go into a "Dark Forest" as a fallen viking warrior picked by Odhinn? IDK.

Apparently you have never heard of flint knapping, which is most commonly done with an antler.

another common material used was Birch Branches, as soft as it is, it still was used for knapping .... i dabble here and there with knapping, been designing a Kukri influenced knife currently although i'm not sure i have the skill level to pull it off. personally i use a stubby phillips #8 screwdriver lol, works rather well actually.

Never claimed they spawned on meadows, second boss is in black forest and yes, mozzies are on plains, usually near the shoreline i am exploring by boat :P And that was the point.

They also die to a stiff breeze, either shoot them with a bow or block then smack them even once and poof.

Thanks, i'll try that next time i am ambushed by one :) I have been too busy freaking out when i see them to try killing them :/

Oy. My apologies, I misunderstood what you said.

In any case, I get the panic entirely well, me and my mate had similar issues when we first got introduced to those lovely critters. But yeah, they have practically no defense and extremely low HP, so if you can nail them, they die fast - they're the epitome of glass cannons in Valheim.

It is an open world game.
That means you will be able to go places that are over your level.
Don't go there. The aggro distance isn't that large so you had to be very close to shore... don't do that if you are unfamiliar with the biome or you are asking for trouble.
Good Luck ... game is learn by death when you first start so just learn from your mistakes and you will be fine.
