#skeletons in valheim

[mass-convergence]

You can get cosmetic armors in Valheim now.

So I can truly recreate Soma in the game.

It’s fine guys she’s now a powerful blood mage in the Viking afterlife and she’s absolutely killing it.

Thank you @batri-jopa for tagging me! I always want to participate in these fun posts but sometimes it's hard on mobile.

Surviving a Monster Battle in Valheim - Abomination vs Troll!

[theayesphere]

Happy Sunday, folks! We'll be live in approximately 40 minutes (2pm US Central and 8pm British Summer Time) for more ASKA, a Viking village settlement game similar to Valheim with its own fun twists.

So, grab yourself some snacks, get comfy, and settle in to watch us stumble around trying to gain the favor of the gods and hopefully survive the upcoming winter. Also skeletons. Lots and lots of skeletons 💀

i might be the only person out there, but i will miss inquisition's open world, i actually like parts of the game when there's not much happening, i like just chilling in this world. i have 130 hrs in rdr2 and i'm still in chapter 3, bcos i'm constantly off doing my own stuff. i have 500 hrs in valheim and i like just going off to chop some trees, pick some shrooms and dump my skeletons in a fighting pit to level up my necromancy while i'm making myself a tea. i will really miss all those low stakes, low engagement quests from dai, if they really got rid of them all in dav. and i will miss shards. i picked them all up on every playthrough.

Adventures in Valheim (playing with my husband).

My new name is Lena Sevendrakes because that's the most I've had to deal with all at once, and because Lena "Sevendrakes a wolf and one random-ass skeleton" doesn't have the same ring to it.

Day 257 - Delightful Discoveries

Calories: 1600

God I hate the word "delightful".

Today was a bit stressful at work but not too bad. I spent the evening paying bills and discovering new games and figuring what TV shows I wanted to finally watch. It was a nice evening.

Writing for today:

I bought Soulash 2 and ASKA today, and played a few hours of the latter.

Soulash 2 looks like Dwarf Fortress adventure mode crossed with Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. It even has settlement-building! I'll be excited to check it out soon.

ASKA is Valheim as a colony sim. Carve out a primitive nordic colony in the wilderness, fight off wolves and zombies and skeletons, slowly build your own tribe. It's really cool stuff. The NPCs are very capable of handling things on their own, as long as those things relate to their job.

My favorite so far are the builders, who will gather materials from storage units or even off the ground. You can watch them hammer the earth to terraform it into flat and clear ground to build on, and carry logs over their shoulders to the build sites.

All the villagers seem to be able to craft their own tools if they have the basic materials to do that. Though I did notice a specific building meant to produce tools, so maybe they don't do that.

Resource gathering is detailed and neat, after you chop a tree down you have to further cut the fallen trunk to divide it into usable pieces. Then you can cut the pieces further if you want smaller resources like bark and sticks. The same also goes for butchering animals, you need to chop them into increasingly smaller pieces to fit them onto a spit.

Today I got up late, and felt a bit frustrated. But it was okay. It'll be okay. Tomorrow will be better. Overall, today felt okay.

Btwwww i set up a dedicated valheim server on a computer that acts as a media server in my house. ✌ because playing solo all the time bums me out, but I don't like interacting with strangers online. and because I like to passively exist around others when I do play online (so I can snoop in people's houses or watch someone get overrun by a pile of skeletons) without the obligation to actually play at the same time. while having the option to play with my friends if I actually want to, you know?

I'm probably not gonna have the energy to coordinate anything until after the new year, but if "hanging out in the same room playing the same game but not interacting" (where the room is a world in a viking game) sounds fun to you let me knooow and I'll get you the server info in a couple days.

There's other games where you can kill people with hammers but it sucks. Valheim for example. Pretty good game otherwise but the greathammer is very unsatisfying to use. The hammer goes through enemies and the shockwave deals the damage. Incredibly slow. Despite the fact that it literally shakes and cracks the ground it has fuckall impact. Just a tool to deal a lot of damage and stun enemies. Can be a mildly fun skeleton deleter but not much else. 2/10 👎

Hammers in Vermintide 2? Visceral. Still slower than other weapons but not incredibly slow. You get to splatter 5 guys at once and fling them accross the battlefield or crush their skulls like watermelons with blood spraying everywhere. You can pretty much not give a shit about enemies having armour since your weapon pretty much ignores it. You can knock down a really big armoured chaos warrior and cave his head in before he even has a chance to get back up. 10/10 👍

Vermintide 2 is a great game if you like killing people with hammers 👍

This troll stopped in mid-battle to notice a skeleton that was poking him from behind. You can see the exact moment the skeleton knew he'd made a huge mistake. (It died by "troll-smash" immediately after this screen cap was taken.)

revamped my muse page. goodbye, tag urselves, we loved u but u were a bitch to add new muses to (and took up a huge amount of space). if my muse page is not accessible, readable, or responsive on any device you view it on, please notify me so i can fix it. accessibility is the name of the game. (ps - sofia isn’t live yet, so her link is busted. yeehaw.)

as a side note, i will be tweaking and adding/updating/removing muses and their bios throughout the week. standard blog cleanup, you know how it Be.

Living the dream there.

If only.

Not to clog up your feed with valheim dtuff but jgbdi

I went into the black forest today. Immediately ran into a troll and died. Went back for my stuff, got chased by two star skeletons for so so long.

brother i am #terrified of this forest and I will simply not progress. Bronze? No thanks flint will do just fine (How Do I get better stuff Without going In There?)

lmao that about checks out when going into a black forest.

Unfortunately its the next biome you need to head into after the first boss. And you need bronze to get the next better stuff, then you'll be the one smacking them around, especially the trolls.

And get enough and you'll be able to make a cart. Cart. Is. Bae.

The draugr is a classic fantasy undead from Scandinavian folklore that has seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to video games like Skyrim, God of War, and Valheim. Draugr are more powerful than a simple skeleton or zombie, but the basic draugr is also usually less threatening than a more advanced undead, such as a skeleton knight or zombie berserker. Draugr can be understood as vengeful ghosts that return to possess their own corpses, doing so to seek out revenge or to guard their burial chambers against trespassers. In folklore, many different types of abilities and traits are attributed to draugr, so our rendition draws from the most common and most resonant interpretations and depictions from both folklore and modern works.

If you want the statistics for the draugr lord described at the end of the page (along with its more powerful variant, the icy draugr king), you’ll just have to wait for the full release of The Impermissicon, the compendium of dark magic and forbidden lore that houses these draugr and more homebrew D&D content, planned for the second half of 2022!

A Tale of Valheim Woe

I’d just found a lovely spot for my mountain camp; the foundations of an old tower that I just needed to add a roof, fireplace, and bed to. It even had a silver vein just a few yards away! I camped there for the night, then headed back to my main house to fetch the portal materials I’d forgotten.

On my way back, it began to rain. I reached the snowy slopes, and discovered that wolfskin cloaks do not protect you from freezing if they’re wet. 

“This is fine,” I said to myself, “I’ve got a bunch of health. I can just run up to my new house.”

The wolves appeared when I was halfway up the mountain. I did not have the stamina to outrun them.

“Well,” I sighed, waiting to respawn so I could go retrieve my belongings, “That was stupid of me.”

The world faded back into view. I stood, as always after death, in naught but viking underwear. In the little mountain house where I had last slept. With no cold-weather gear or spare food to increase my health.

“Shit. Okay,” I looked at the map, “Maybe I can run to safety before I freeze.”

I tried twice. Both times I froze to death with the sunny meadows in sight.

Then I had an idea! I loaded into the world as one of my other (much lower-level) vikings, and frantically ran past greydwarves and skeletons to my ill-fated character’s grave. Wearing the cold-weather armor of my ill-fated character, I scrambled up the mountain, making wide detours around the wolves and drakes. At last I reached the shelter, and tucked the wolfskin cloak into a chest. Success!

I switched back, and donned my gear. Now I just had to get the rest of my items! Except, I still had no food. No worries, I wouldn’t freeze, I just had to avoid wolves.

I did not avoid the wolves. 

Now I had two graves on the side of the mountain, one with my warm clothing, one with my weapons and food.

Switching, once again, to my little newbie viking who’d never, before today, ventured out of the meadows, I stocked the mountain shelter with food. Then it was back to my veteran viking.

After sitting by the fire, waiting for the meat and stew to fortify my health, I made the basically-naked sprint down the side of the mountain. At long last, I trudged into my base, collapsed into bed, and promptly logged out of the game.

valheim ashlands update so good. i tamed a lava dog to ride and then got into fight with skeletons and he died. rip doggo, but i didn't have time to name him, so it's fine. frostner, a hammer crafted 4 biomes ago, is still carrying the entire game, i want to upgrade her, but nothing was actually better yet. i'm having my eyes set on the storm star tho, might finally have a worthy successor. too bad it's not ice, i like ice.
