100 Days of Hardcore Valheim (No Map No Portals)

Valheim.. but I deal less damage, have no map, no portals, more raids, and much stronger enemies! Can I survive?

[@HauntedOath]

CHANNEL UPDATE Future Valheim videos will return when Ashlands comes out. I'm also experimenting with some new content that's very different from what I normally upload and noticed that my videos that weren't Valheim related barely scratched a couple hundred views. So instead of clogging up your subscription feed with videos you didn't subscribe for, I made a new channel and will upload them there instead. If you would like to give them a chance check out the channel. You may or may not like it but I'll appreciate the chance you take on me nonetheless :)www.youtube.com/@XPArchives

[@yosiyoeseesyo]

Hey man, there is a big map Made by some valheim content creators, rpg map which is huge and Will be awesome if You take a look of it, is very fun and diferent of a normal playthrough

watching him level and not pathen his way killed me

[@TheNotOverShow]

bruh when he gets into the first boat...

[@kruzzisesh4851]

​@@TheNotOverShowI had a stroke too.. watching him going full speed against the wind instead of going once

[@RigelOrionBeta]

Level is better than pathen, it's not only larger but it takes less stamina. It also of course levels the terrain, which makes using carts much easier on them.

[@Matchoochannel]

@@RigelOrionBeta level when you use carts sure, but when you are trying to find your way back just path its way more efficient

the amount of valheim youtubers that use osrs music videos is crazy lol, i love it. great video

[@HauntedOath]

I've been afk fishing on osrs while I edited this video lol

[@DesolationsFire]

The game has the same sort of grinding elements to it. Skill leveling and stuff it’s similar in that fashion

[@mirandacollins9122]

RIP my dude, it was heartbreaking to see you die with all your silver gear. I would never attempt the hardcore challenge myself so mad props to you. Looking forward to the next episode , Good Luck! 😄

[@henrywinckelmusic1177]

Great video and narration as always. Two tips for anyone who wants to try hardcore, one of which can still benefit you Oath if you decide to resurrect your character: Consider skipping Bonemass and using the stagbreaker to find silver. Silver is often found near mountain structures, and skipping the boss will eliminate wolf raids. When a vegvisir turns your character in the direction of a boss, use a build piece like a ladder and point it in that direction. When you head toward the boss and get turned around because of mob fights, the ladder will still always point toward the boss. This also works with vegvisirs in dungeons.

[@anr1593]

I do this normally but I fight bonemass in silver gear. His power is too useful to never acquire.

[@manguy01]

Stagbreaker strat was patched out. It shows "0" now like any piece of dirt instead of "Too Hard"

[@henrywinckelmusic1177]

@@anr1593 Agreed. I usually fight Bonemass, for the power, prior to going into Mistlands. Frostner just melts him.

[@henrywinckelmusic1177]

@@manguy01 After reading your comment, I decided to test this (5-1-24). The Stagbreaker still shows "Too Hard" when struck over a silver vein. You might be confusing the Stagbreaker with the Iron Sledge, which does indeed show "O" instead of "Too Hard."

[@mystic_artemis]

The thought of hardcore Valheim scares me but this was super interesting to watch! I love seeing all the ways this game can be played :D Great video!

[@Nomstrr]

I LOVE YOUR INCONSISTENCY, it’s like a surprise early Christmas when you upload, please never get a schedule!

This was legit the best 100 Days Hardcore Valheim video i ever saw! It was really nicely cutted and i had a lot of fun watching it! Keep the good work!

[@Foxi-rt8hd]

I never thought i'd watch any 1 hour long Video, but since I am playing valheim I decided to give it a try. And it was worth it! Very very good Content

[@gmylonas]

Excellent stuff. Really enjoyed it. I think you would be better served by putting up the blob head and using his power. It seems that some melee resistance would be welcome. Then again it would remove some og the difficulty. Anyway it was a great watch and I really want to thank you for all the hours of playing and editing you put in. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@HauntedOath]

I always forget I have it anyways and end up never using it lol

[@jerrythelobster7]

I love your content and your dedication, I enjoy valheim when I play it myself and even more when I watch you. Im seriously grateful for your effort and dedication you put into this, you couldve camped out and played it safe to reach day 100 but you managed to do MORE than I do when I play normally without any restrictions (no hardcore, map, no lost items). Great job! Im looking forward to seeing your next videos, can't wait to enjoy them as much as I did every previous. Youre insane man!

[@DarthVaradkar]

Just found your channel through he pacifist boss run - binging through it now. The best and most authentic feeling valheim content I've found so far

[@robinclaes4109]

Congratulations! great video! can't wait to see the next 100 days... Btw Pro tips for finding your way back without a map is use Ygdrasil and the sun to see which way you're heading and bonfires on top of mountains and by the shore when you go sailing, building multiple of them is key

[@acester86]

I built a light house on my home base island of course my minimap makes it moot. 😂

[@lostcreekdigitalarts2201]

In addition to the tips @henrywinckelmusic1177 which are a couple of the better fundamentals of HC to remember, I thought you might want to consider that - if the wind is not in your favor (you were struggling on your serpent hunt) you can just "oar" your boat. Instead of dropping your sails fully and cursing at the fates, only push W once so only one chevron is visible (and the rudder is being animated side to side) and your boat will slowly gain speed regardless of the wind then it maintains at least a tolerable speed until the wind direction changes. Lastly - you brought a finewood bow into the mountains, your best option is the "huntsman". Harvesting obsidian ASAP and making a batch of arrows with the huntsman will one or at least two shot most all wolves and drakes before they even see you. In HC, becoming overwhelmed or over confident (or both) are the #1 killers and when you can thin the surrounding population ahead of you, before charging in, your odds are greatly increased. There is no shame in sniping when the alternative is losing everything. My most successful HC games have all been focused around advancing from bow to bow even before armor. A dead critter 60 yards away is one that will never get to test your armor.

[@Oscar797]

As huge Valheim and OSRS nerd I can definitely tell you're a scaper. It's the runescape autism kicking in when playing game modes such as this. Loved the video. Can't wait for part 2

[@Ph4n_t0m]

The use of the hoe for mapless navigation is a great idea - but if you right-clic and choose 'pathen', you can tamp-out paths without having all the terrain-modification that goes with it (which can be messy and also a pretty hefty load on the processor/memory)... just sayin ;) Definitely looking forward to the rest of this video (yeah, paused quickly to write this!) also, when sailing, if the wind is against you, just furl the sails up (since they're useless) and go forward by paddle (only one ^ ) until it changes direction.

[@plantern4590]

im learning more on how to play valheim from you. I play casually and not that hardcore (i mean im on day 100+ and i still havent beaten the elder) since i have more fun that way but seeing your videos gives me ideas on how to progress the game faster

[@EnbyNomad]

In my NoMap run I used the time to create my own irl. It was innacurate but good enough to know roughly where I was. Highly recommend the experience alongside the mod ValheimRaft

[@Blakkrazor69]

Love it! My first burial chamber had a 2 star purple boi waiting for me. I learned to kite them to the stairs where you can stand on the ledge and melee them down out of their reach or use Flint Arrows to bring them down at range if need be.

[@Furanku13]

I stayed away from any form of Valheim content since i'm new and playing it myself, even tho i really want to watch other people play. But after 250 days and still going, i just got to the Mistlands and took a break. Not even a minute in and you hit me with the OSRS music and death compilation of tomfoolery. Lmao +1

[@kleddy_official]

Dude, you have titanic willpower. After so many defeats, I would have already freaked out and dropped the game. Good luck surviving the next 100 days!

this was such a fun watch and now im going on valheim because i have that itch for it now

[@oblivionsmuse]

Dude, this was amazing! You have the patience of a saint, I swear. I sure hope you post some follow ups, would love to see your progress!

[@RovalisGTO]

This was a lot of fun to watch! Watching you struggle with the wind was hilarious lol. The greyling wandering through your house was also 10/10. I think you would have made better progress if you didn't accept death as inevitable in a lot of situations. Going slower and preserving your skills/gear is a better way IMO. I did a no map HC game and didn't get as far as you did, but I took my time and never died up until Bonemass, at which point I was at like day 60 and needed a break from Valheim lol. You made incredible progress for being naked and 0 skills at least 80% of the time.

[@ilickburns7056]

Liked for the music, stayed for the content. Keep it up Haunted!

[@alexmiller8327]

good stuff. this playstyle forces you to rethink a lot of things:P my lessons from hard combat, no portal, no map.(ur insane playing hardcore) Armor is KING. trolls and anything else with 1-2 stars WILL one shot you and by far, the most annoying thing ever is not having access to a map. EVERYTHING else is annoying but not having a map will bring you close to insanity. not having a map changes SO many things from the vanilla settings. in fact im over day 300, finally made it to ML and I'm still learning how to adapt to not having a map. its frreaking HARD but challenging which is why I'm doing it. take ur time, have fun and never give up!

[@o1theunknown]

Honestly the fact that you had both The Elder and Bonemass seemingly on the same island is super lucky. World gen hates me in games as both for me were on separate islands far from spawn and it took about 12 swamps (not kidding) to find one that had a crypt

[@Leo-im9oz]

The progress you made was insane dude.. i would never even have made it out of the black forest, not a chance. I watched the pacifist video as well earlier and loved it. Ur awesome with these videos.

Solid try my dude, we with you all the way for the next 100! Tbh my nerves are shot and all i did was watch, and i dont even know how you have so much patience to keep trying. Id have tossed my pc out the window and taken up knitting or makrame or something far away from Valheim instead :P

[@meticulousCheese]

Jeez, watching the start of this gives me dread thinking about the speed of plains enemies, wolves, drakes compared to a 0 run skill... You're a beast for even continuing this for 100 days regardless of progress. Post watch: Tenacity. I was really rooting for the come back no-armour moder kill. Just one rogue golem. It's unlucky you didn't have the peace of mind to drop the fang but I froze up just watching! suggestion for the wolves: if you're going to do the 200d, keep the original two wolves back up in the mountains where they're relatively much safer. That way you're never forced to wait for the taming process again.

[@Wiggles4life]

Best Valheim content out there!!. Keep it up

[@scottk3402]

you're supposed to set your boat speed to 1 when you're against wind. it'll move you forward

[@jerrythelobster7]

Man... I cant believe Im saying this but you inspired me to do it. I played through Valheim many many times. It wasnt that fun anymore. Then you came with these challenges and I once again enjoy valheim as much as the first day I bought it. Me and my girlfriend started playing a couple months back, we set the world modifiers to easier combat + teleport everything since she played a video game for the first time and valheim on normal is insanely cruel to new people. We finished it pretty quickly and we stopped playing which made me sad since it was so quick. Then you uploaded this and we decided we are going to play again on normal mode + teleport everything. Now we are on our 4th playthrough, hard difficulty, normal portals. After we finish this one (which is already pretty interesting and tougher) we are going to hardcore with map. And then the finale - what youre doing right now. I cant wait to get there, we are having so much fun playing together just because you inspired us to make the game interesting again. I love these videos, all youve done was masterpiece and I enjoy all of it. Keep it up! Hopefully they will release ashlands asap so we can enjoy your new challenges!

[@anthonysanchez9204]

I want you to know that all your troubles and time to make this video all came to turn out to be a great and very entertaining video! Great content

[@SFtho]

Yeah I also found myself enthralled with this, great video dude 😊 I'm usually a 10 min top video kinda guy 😂😂

[@sneezyfido]

I would make paths everywhere, but also I'd put up poles with two markers: One at the top always pointing north, one at the bottom pointing "home", either center base or nearest harbor. At intersections those poles would also have signs for each direction. It's a simple thing, but very effective. That run got abandoned in the mountains. It has never been a favorite to find silver, but this felt way too tedious.

[@Nexowl]

I did a playthrough with pretty much the same settings, except for one mod addition. I added ValheimRAFT, which lets you build your own ship base. It's of course way easier to conquer these settings with a mobile base, but this was by far the most immersive Valheim experience I've had in my 800-hour playtime.

[@wangtony9121]

Amazing video, definitely enjoyed it. One minor thing though, two star drugr does eat the king of the swamp for breakfast😊

[@sleepydee1745]

man you’ve been progressing well. i just hit day 228 and finally found bone mass in my no map hardcore mode. you’re making me want to stop playing so safe. i haven’t died yet i have enough iron saved up in case i do die and need to refit myself. i don’t know why i did this to myself since this is my first time playing. i think that’s why i’m so scared all of the time lol. i’ve never fought bonemass. i killed the elder on day 122

LMAOOO hijm finding the howling cavern while having literally no idea abt hilder or anyting is funny asf

[@trevx3680]

Regarding the hoe: 1) Use pathen rather than leveling as it does not change the landscape and uses less stamina. 2) Use the pathen to highlight mushrooms spots. This makes them easier to spot for a distance for second gathering. 3) You can create a short path at the near the edge of sight line of the previous short path. This means you are creating fewer paths. Embed a resin torch inside an upright building post. The mobs will not attack it and it helps mark the way particularly at night.

[@bloodshed_]

Great video, I love that we could really feel how annoyed and disappointment you felt with some deaths! I would never try anything like this, kudos to you! Is there a day 100-200 in the making?

Ooze bombs are an excellent tool if you want to do this again later. For just some ooze and leather scraps, you can make AOE poison bombs that spread through walls and doors. You can clear caves and raids super easily that way.

[@xSTONYTARKx]

We should be able to make bigger backpacks for more inventory space. And also, armor, and your weapons should have a seperate slot when equipped. And maybe they could even do a potion radial menu or something for potions, seperate from the main inventory. And how about a quiver for arrows? Upgradable ofcourse, to hold more arrows, or multiple types of quivers, of which some hold more basic arrows, and some are designed to hold more of a specific kind of arrow f.e. fire arrows. Then another idea to improve on inventory, let us craft like a variation of satchels for our tames to wear, so they can help us carry stuff when we need to move a lot of stuff.
