one of the parts of the game is testing out different weapons and learning which enemies are weak to which weapon(s)
altough the maze is completely broken as almost everything is weak to blunt damage which is kinda blunt....
[edit] if it isn't clear what I am trying to hint at: maybe the level 2 club is jsut a bad weapon for doing dungeons
You don't have a lot of options when you're straight out of the meadows. You can have the crude bow, flint axe or club. The axe is mostly a wood chopping implement, but it can be used for chopping bones, I guess.
Please note that what I'm talking about here isn't that it's impossible to do. I have played valheim before, and didn't have problems with this stage then.
However, after the recent updates (food rework etc) I just started a new game, and things I had no trouble with before is suddenly a lot harder.
I COULD Have been hit by RNG, that's one thing, but if not, the game has gotten a lot harder at a stage where it wasn't the easiest before.
Completely false. Flint spear + leather armor + level 3 shield are all obtainable pre-eikthyr and easily dispatches the greydwarfs in the Black Forest. Once you get some core wood you can make a stagbreaker and clear dungeons with ease to get 10 surtling cores.
The food rework nerfed max hp and stamina, but if you think before you do things, itโs barely any harder.
