A new bow, a stack of fire arrows, and practice kiting them. Failing that, you can parry them with a bronze buckler.

Stay topped up on food and be well rested, and then engage them in melee and start practicing your dodge. I recommend kiting them into the meadows to cut down on the amount of greydwarf interruptions. Make sure to upgrade your current equipment as far as it can go to make things easier though! Also, trolls are useful resources, especially early game - they can mine copper for you much faster than you can, they are very good at quickly knocking down lots of trees. You can get a lot of resources while practicing your dodge! You can even use trolls to get that fine bow much earlier - normally you need to raid crypts, beat eikther, do a bunch of mining, and finally do a bunch of smelting and crafting, but with the aid of a troll you can have that finewood bow in no time flat!

once you get flint you should be able to chop down pines, meaning you can make spiked barricades, meaning you can lure the troll through a hilarious circuit of spikes and campfires while you caper in rags just out of reach

Definitely be topped up on food and well rested. Once you take off the grey dwarves, easiest way to kill them is probably aiming your bow until he starts to attack, then releasing and quickly rolling back to safety. Do it in a meadow where trees won't interrupt you and get you killed, and dont start an attack unless your stamina is fully recovered - accidentally running out is the thing most likely to get you killed. Also if you lure him into an area where you've built campfires around it will stop any more dudes from joining the fight. Actually even if you fight him in the woods, dropping some campfires is always a great idea because greydwarfs are loving terrified of fire and will not attack you if there's one around! (except for the brutes who don't seem to care, but if you're fighting brutes AND a troll are your current level you are better off just running away anyway)

GlyphGryph posted:Definitely be topped up on food and well rested. I have a hell of a time making rolls actually work properly; I seem to end up just jumping vertically most of the time. When I'm kiting a troll around, I tend to just stick with sprinting and sprint-jumps to keep away... maybe it's time to put in a little dodge practice.

If you guys ever played Lords of the Fallen (a dark souls spinoff) that's p. much the only way I dodge in this game. No shield, no rolling. Most games will give melee enemies bullshit tracking but in Valheim you can walk to the side and they will not pivot to face you. They attack in the direction they started the attack, same as you. For multiple enemies or attacks with wide swings that prevent sidestepping I move just close enough to get them to start an attack then move outside the range of that attack. I'm glad I switched from spear to club. Went from trying to poke enemies with a needle to making wide swings with a huge collision hull. Using the spear was like

GlyphGryph posted:I will (I know I'm basically a broken record at this point, but eh) suggest that if people want to engage in complex elevated builds (or underwater builds) - get the mod that lets you manually cycle through snap points using the ctrl and alt keys. It makes things SO much more pleasant. https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/299 I play on a laptop without a right-ctrl key. Can I reconfigure the keys in this mod? Also, does it just run client-side or do I need to install it on my dedicated server? This looks like just the thing for me.

If you like to live dangerously, get some flint to make a knife and then sneak up on a troll to stab it in the rear end. You may find the results pleasing. Make sure you use the middle mouse-click attack.

My buddy and I just discovered the summoning site for the final boss. We're in no hurry to rush into the fight. Is it absolutely essential to have a full set of max upgraded padded armor and black metal gear for that fight? We're going to get it beforehand anyway but I was just wondering. I feel like a disproportionate number of deaths happen due to "we were out doing our poo poo at night for no good reason when we could have slept and done it during the day", with the occasional fall damage death, and "one/two shotted by a one star or two star fuling that suddenly showed up". The "unnecessary night time outing" deaths come in the form of things like "we would normally handle one or two wolves no sweat but instead you get swarmed by a pack with a one or two star wolf killing you". We've become much more respectful of day vs night in the game. Valheim is a rough place at night.

It's the same as all the other bosses past the first one, if you could handle them with the right strategy but under-geared it'll be no different.

Progress update on the Island Base: 360 ocean view.    First floor, the wooden walls hide forge/workbench upgrades    Thought this was a neat way to vent the first floor hearth  Second floor, still need to put down all the comfort items.

Spoilers for those who don't want to get the walkthrough version: The main sort of damage is fire, so a fire resist mead will help you more than armor. It is also very resistant to pierce damage, so any weapons, black metal or not, that use pierce damage are sort of useless. Frostner seemed to be very good for it. Frost arrows too.

I can't remember if it was here or on reddit but someone showed a room carpeted in wall-to-wall lox rugs which inspired me to finally somewhat decorate a bigass room connected to my and my wife's bedroom that's been empty since I built the place a couple weeks ago.  The carpeting really makes it relaxing to just sit in here. My stepson came up with the simple idea for couches by building around benches to actually be able to sit on them and to me they work so well in here.  This is a "hottub" my wife wanted connected to our current base. I love the base but can't figure out what to build over/around it. The line of banners is a placeholder atm to test a concept. I'm open to suggestions. I'd post a picture of the full megabase structure from the outside but it's just a brick with a very open "factory" floor for all storage and crafting topped by a plain 2-floor wooden structure with the bedrooms - 4 small bedrooms on the 2nd floor since we used to have 5 people playing on our server and the 3rd floor is for me and my wife.  Finally after 450+ hours played for me and 1091 days in game my wife, stepson, and I defeated Yagluth. We spent soooooo long just building. The current megabase is our 3rd one and built to avoid the 28000 instances in the 2nd one. But even at 8000 instances in the last monstrosity I still drop to 40 fps there but it does load so much faster. Awhile back I wanted to sneak a peek at our world so loaded in single player and did the exploreall console command. I didn't know it would carry over on that character to multiplayer and I've been playing without the thrill of exploration for most of the game's life (I learned about the command to reset exploration much later). Shortly after Yagluth we decided to drop everything and start a new world with all of us naked but still using our old characters and their skills. We've already found the maypole and started our first main base around it which is pretty exciting to me. I had to cheat to find it in our old world and never built anything there. Here's to at least another 500 hours in this ridiculously enthralling game.

For the hot tub I'd make it look like a Greek gazebo. You're nearly there, anyway. Making a circular stone roof is hard but far from impossible.

Pro-tip: if you need to farm some resin go do some copper mining at night. My fang spear was cutting through walking dead-like hordes of greydwarves. Can confirm the spear does in fact hit multiple targets cause I was skewering them 2-3 at a time.

If you've ever watched the edge of the Black Forest at night, you may have observed greydwarfs retreating at dawn. This is especially noticeable when sneaking through it. I'm fairly sure that the Black Forest gets a LOT of extra spawns at night time that despawn at the dawn. Is this true for other biomes as well? Do the starred night time mountain wolves also despawn at dawn?
