It takes me far too long to harvest wood in this game, because I find it endlessly entertaining to push logs around until they roll down the hill squashing greylings or greydwarves. Sadly the occasional pig or deer gets in the way also, but oh well, tasty meat!

Do wolves eat cooked meat? Two just kind of airdropped onto my base into an enclosed area from a ledge up top so I managed to tame them pretty easily with some sausages, but I have a ton of cooked meat from earlier in the game I wish I'd saved as raw meat (for sausages and turnip stew!) and could use it for that easily enough.

What is the point of taming wolves in the game? Can they follow you around and help with fights? I understand that taming pigs is for breeding/slaughtering them, although I've never done that. So far the only wolves I've seen were by mistake when I got too close to a mountain biome when exploring and they promptly snacked upon me.

When I finish with this mountain area I am planning in building both a waystation halfway up in a black forest and a little port at the bottom of the mountain in some meadows and I'll move a breeding pair to both areas. I'm going to see if I can manage to get them on a boat too. I don't know where my next base is going to be but I wouldn't mind some friends when I go! E: you can breed them like boar too. I have two 0-star wolves so I don't know how Valheim genetic stock works but if I can snag some higher-star wolves I'll try and figure it out.

Valheim "genetics" are a 50/50 chance of either parent's star level. Breed two 2-stars and your guaranteed a 2-star baby.

So as long as you don't think about it too hard all you need to do is capture/tame one 2 star and breed with whatever until you get another 2 star and then start culling. Well that's kind of hosed up, but whatever.

Pretty much. Complicating factor for this is that two star wolves only spawn at night when fenrings are also running around so have fun with that.

A flint spear can take out a grey dwarf spawner out fairly easily. Draw them away then run back and hit until dead. But if your corpse has all your stuff if nothing else you can down some food, run in, grab your stuff, and get out again.

I think a flint axe might be better damage due to resist? I'm not sure, and wiki doesn't list resists for the nest... Either way, it's pretty quick to smash one, yeah, but if you're not expecting it it'll catch you out.

With a fine bow that's max quality, basic fire arrows will pop the purple spawn points in a single shot. My first adventure into the mountain biome went well. Killed a few wolves and got enough pelts to make a dragon bed, killed a couple of drakes with fire arrows (two shot them), killed my first stone golem by just blocking and mashing him with a mace, found a bit of obsidian and then my first silver vein. Is there more obsidian below the obsidian outcropping I found? I'm a moron and didn't think to try to dig down there when I got it, and since I popped the outcropping I'll never find it again, but would be good to know for the future.

If you're playing with the epic loot mod, you can get an enchantment on your cloak that gives waterproof to rain. It's pretty sweet to have for the swamp.

IMO it would be perfect if the linen cape prevented wet from rain. It would give a reason to use it, and then you'd have to choose cold resistance or rain resistance.

Goons keep posting about being able to dodge trolls by rolling, but I can't figure it out. Is there some way to roll while not in stealth mode? Staying in stealth mode while fighting murders my stamina, and then, when I'm out of stamina, whatever I'm fighting murders me.

There’s a dodge button, it doesn’t have anything to do with stealth mode. You hold block and then hit the dodge button. It still takes a chunk of stamina though.

Especially if you removed cold resistance from the wolf chest so you couldn't get both (or somehow prevented both from activating at once). But yeah I'm mostly thinking about how you have to go back to the swamps in the blackmetal era, which mostly plays out as before except you have armor and weapons that trivialize the combat, leaving only the environmental impact. You can negate the mountain's impact, why not the swamp's? (Even if only on the return). Visually the trollhide cape probably works best as a poncho but I don't think having it available before the first swamp is a good idea. So, linen/lox it is!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fUpZLsmh6U This boar farm was so easy to construct and work with. It took me maybe an hour to set it up and an hour later I had a hundred raw meat. For my pig farm, I found that using a spear is the best way to cull them since it's a forward attack, not an arc. Since the bottom pen will have tons of piglets, the spear lets you kill the adults, maximizing your meat output. In other news, the gang and I attempted Yagluth and it went very poorly. For starters, we didn't have any fire resist pots. Second, only one guy had frost arrows. Then, two deathsquitos spawned and murdered us. After that, a fuling patrol. including a 1 star spear thrower, wandered into the fight and chased us during our corpse runs. But we're learning from our mistakes: 1. clearing the plains out from a huge area surrounding the fight. 2. dropping torches all over the area to prevent deathsquito spawning. 3. going to build a large fence around the area to prevent any fuling spawns from wandering in 4. building a small rest area underneath Yagluth's altar. 5. making an additional "oh poo poo" portal 6. better food and arrows Is there anything else we're forgetting? Would it even be worth it to construct small stone walls spread out like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyenKCEJ8i4 We used that strategy for Moder's aerial phase to great success.

I just hoe as I go as needed honestly, I tend to move pretty slowly in the swamp so I don't get ambushed by draugr archers, surprise slimes or ghosts. You don't need to actually make roads to avoid the water, just a click or two will get you across most wet areas without going in the water and being targetable by leeches.

Using a hoe to level ground and "make roads" takes no rock at all and isn't much slower than just moving around, especially if you're making multiple trips.

AmbientParadox posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fUpZLsmh6U Yagluth's beam attack will chew through rocks with ease, and I assume walls as well. The pillars around his spawner collapsed during our fight. I don't think it works on ground though so maybe raising up chunks of ground with a hoe will work? Get good food. Really good food. Lox pie blood pudding and fish wraps was my combo for the fight. Then the fire resist and medium stamina/healing potions. Possibly better equipment? A deathsquito shouldn't be much of a threat if you're fighting the boss of the plains. If they ambush you and get in a bite they can do some damage, sure, but shouldn't be murderous amounts. As soon as you hear them buzzing in hold block and point towards the sound. First attack will bounce off your shield, then they stand around for a second or two, whack them and they should die in one shot. Fulings, yeah they're gonna suck no real way around how hard those assholes hit. Maybe even more raised ground around the arena to make a wall? a large fence is just going to get obliterated between the beam attack and meteors.

I'm a fan of trenches for keeping mobs out generally. Once you've dug the hole to the depth you want, it only takes one or two swings to extend it in any direction and requires no resources.
