Some Valheim Tips and Tricks to get you started!
- Make Poison Antidotes using the cauldron. Doing this while being in the swamp is almost necessary.
- Try not to wander in the Swamp at night.
- AVOID plains at all costs. You will perish. Doing so (avoiding plains) might just save you some time and progress used to recover your supplies.
- The use of shields is advised. A tier one bronze shield is enough to parry every enemy in the Swamp but upgrading the shield is advised.
- Try and max out your copper armor during the start of the game and before you fight the first boss.
- Bronze is quite useless and it is recommended to bypass it completely and use a Tier 4 Flint weapon and Troll Hide Armor until Iron.
- A maxed-out bronze armor is about the same as base-level iron armor.
- Mining is one of the more boring parts of the game as copper is quite hard to acquire and useless once you have iron.
- Always upgrade to the next armor level after defeating the boss.
- Get antidotes and craft sausages from Draugr loot. Small healing potions will also be of help. Carrot Soups are also a great way to replenish health and stamina.
- Using the bow on enemies might be easier, however, learning to parry and fight, in general, will be helpful later on in the game. The parry will make the game A LOT easier for you and it is recommended to perfect your parry before progressing in the game.
- Remember that getting to crypts is harder than clearing them once you are inside them.
- Retreating is always a viable option to save supplies.
Hopefully, this will help you get a general idea of how to progress in the beginning of the game.
