Myself, I've hit a roadblock right after Eikthyr (yes, that early). The game asks me to go find surtling cores in Burial Chambers in the Black Forest to build a smelter and kiln. The problem is, after repeated testing, I've determined that surtling cores are NOT guaranteed to even be in a burial chamber. I've run through quite a few that have none at all. So what the game expects me to do is randomly explore an extremely dangerous section of the game with no guarantee of finding what I need (chambers or cores) all while the clock ticks on the day and heaven help you if you're caught outside at night.

I have fully upgraded leather armor. I have club skill leveled up pretty far. I eat 3 meats for 115 HP. I try to time my blocks and know how to parry. But it's just not enough. Without fail, almost every burial chamber I go into kills me by gang-rushing like 4 or 5 skeles at me, some of which are one-star which are stupidly tanky and hit like a truck. Then they all corner me in a dead-end corridor and I die and have to do my umpteenth death run to go get my gear with 25 HP.

tl;dr I sort of agree with OP. I understand the progression system, but I just feel that this game is simply too hard for me. Getting to and killing Eikthyr was pretty easy, but dear lord after that it's a nightmare. I honestly don't think I'm good enough for Valheim, and I've played the likes of Dark Souls and Terraria, so I know what survival craft and character action games are about. This one just feels unfair in some parts.

troll armor and upgraded club with a shield, mabye even a bone tower shield, and the tomb is easy as all hell. And the forest is not at all dangerfull with you get that stuff, if you keep moving a troll can never hit you, and graywarfs well only brutes are tiresome. If you can't find what you are looking for, try moving to a new seed with all your stuff?

Edit to add, each map is randomly generated with a seed.
Could you mabye share this seed? and tell us when you made it? Since each update changes the seeds a bit.
