You don’t even need to parry draugr; you usually encounter them one at a time, so just bait their swings and attack while they’re recovering, or shoot them while they’re still lurching around. Piles can be tricky because you get groups, so steer clear or just destroy them from range. Leeches can be safely meleed from the shore. Blobs are trivial with a mace, but otherwise the poison can just be tanked (they’ll keep reapplying it, but it doesn’t stack), or you can easily shoot them. Aboms are annoying but easy to avoid until you’re ready. Skeletons are old hat. For specters, just don’t run around a new biome at night like an idiot; this will also help with avoiding unnecessary groups of draugr.

They mostly just need to add more randomly generated terrain features to find, I'm surprised there aren't any mods I can find that do something like that.

Mobs in Valheim only attack player base structures, boats, crops, etc. if they have vision of them. They won't attack stuff like walls, stairs, beams, etc. unless they are preventing them from reaching the player base structure that is pissing them off. I hate earthen walls/moats - they are ugly, time consuming to build, and unnecessary. A basic wood palisade that is flush with the ground so they can't see past it will protect you from anything but raids (which you deal with by leaving your base and fighting/getting them to chase you away from your base).

Yes I know palisades help, again my point was to potentially find a mod that would save me the trouble of building them

I have my workbench radius set to 120 (from 20) because I hate building multiple workbenches. It has a bonus of stopping random spawns in the actual base area.

Or change in the console global keys that control unlocked raids and spawns after boss defeats. I also found this mod that tweaks monster AI, but it might be outdated and I haven't tried it.

It's not raids that bother me. Those are clearly announced, so I can just run out and take them on. And even if raids were the problem, they can just be turned off in the map settings nowadays. This was a case of a couple random greydwarfs just quietly wandering in and wrecking my turnips and carrots, because I hadn't realised night had fallen and it took me a bit to notice the noise from them hitting my stuff. I put up a ward since then. I'm not sure if they actually protect stuff from damage, but they do make this clear ringing "bwoop" noise when something in their radius gets hit, so at least it'll work as an alarm.

Another solution you have not considered is to breed a horde of wolves, scatter them around your territory and let them proceed to murderize anything in proximity. Also, those little wooden fences do work for keeping pests out.

Sometimes the locations just suck. I made a terrible choice of base location awhile back on the beach against this cliff and found these assholes would spawn up top, get absolutely tilted looking at my poo poo, swarm down, swim around my walls and then be back up and in my face. Was reeal loving annoying. I ended up just moving. Now I live in the swamp where the only issue I suffer is when I get troll raided while making the mistake of being afk logged in.

Yeah swimmers are really bad — though coincidentally if you are close enough to a swamp, leeches will solve those problems for you. Would be nice if mobs had stamina in some fashion.

Yeah, the heavy hitters in early biomes are still good in later biomes. A troll has 600hp and does 60 damage with a punch. Fulings have 175hp and do 85 damage (sometimes as blunt, which trolls are resistant to). Enemies don’t have armor, which is the main thing that makes players outscale early biomes so hard.

I've seen a two star troll put up a pretty good effort against a fuling village. Considering they're two biomes behind.

I've seen a pack of leeches(?) melt a serpent before I even realized they were going after him, so I thought it was possible the swamp might fare a bit better, but yeah, I guess they just can't keep up with the troll's damage unless they can stagger it.

I have raised mighty walls in the mountains and mined the earth of its silver. My arms and calves glisten with metal. My sword, outstretched, catches the light and gleams before piercing the heart of a wolf. My bow shines with argent fire. I know where the mother dragon lies, and I will end her and take her frozen tears. Although I might want to haul another cartload of wood up here first so I can put a roof on the damned place.

Well, that was easily the most disastrous Moder kill I’ve ever done. There was an almost-complete castle on the other side of a short ridge from her spawn, and I knew it was way too close but… I guess I was hoping I’d be able to keep her focused on me, but of course she almost immediately aggroed onto it and blasted it into the ground, and I lost my portal. Fortunately I’d kept a portal at my beachhead, but ugh. After I inevitably died, I kept bullrushing up the mountain in the hope of getting my gear and then getting away, and it did not go well. Eventually I did manage to drag my corpse and the portal supplies out of her aggro and set up a safer base. Once I finally got a real second attempt going, it went pretty swimmingly, but ugggh. Probably the most hilarious-in-retrospect moment was the bat raid spawning on me immediately after one of those deaths. My home base in the Meadows is a big airy hut with lots of natural light, so like five bats just streamed through and swarmed me in a second. They’re pretty drat lethal at 25hp with no armor, and I had like two seconds to act after each respawn before they were on me again. When I kept chain-dying after the raid ended, the game eventually just pity-despawned all the bats; never seen that before.

One thing with this slow drip of new biomes, is the release format kind of forces the next biome to be harder than the previous otherwise people will just breeze through it with their high level characters, but that also forces the entire game into a kind of fixed progression through the zones. Which I feel is a bit of a shame, since the world is so vast and exciting, you should be able to move to some other exciting place and make progress if you get bored. Like I don't mind needing to kill bosses in a fixed order, but vital upgrade stuff is also locked behind the bosses so there is literally no point for me to go to plains or mountains before dredging through the swamps. Also swamps suck. gently caress the swamps. Mountains and plains are so great, wanna just get there instead. Wish the swamps were just an optional side area with cool gear.

I’ll be real, I don’t really see anything that indicates the game wasn’t always imagined as a fixed progression through biomes. That’s how it worked at launch too pretty much.
