So... skills have a huge impact in Valheim.
They make your journey much easier/more enjoyable.

I did not say skills don't have an impact. I said you will die a lot (of course from my experience).

Just watched the video, looks like an exploit IMO, I think it's better skill up just by using the dev commands, and don't waste your time.

Where is the satisfaction when you cheat?

If you died to often, play in other biomes or start a new world and keep your character progress, so you have to play and fight through again.

You will never have the reconciliation that you achieved your victory by yourself if you cheat. That's a very bad advice.

As I said:
Don't die and your problems are gone. You manage this by learning from your mistakes. Repeat - the same with everything in life if you want to reach master level.

Like Webbman said in another post:
Be a viking and adapt.
