BUNKER Base in ASHLANDS: Step-by-Step Instructions! - Valheim -

[@NikimKrow]

My first landing in the Ashlands was like the D Day

[@AdventurestGaming]

I've had the same situation. My friend and I sailed there on an ordinary ship. It immediately collapsed, but by some miracle we managed to jump onto the rock. And then began an exciting 3-hour journey to the shore jumping over rocks))

[@rhejnl]

@@AdventurestGaming The rocks surrounding the ashlands remind me alot of peter jackson's king kong when the ship gets attacked

[@Fade_Bloodlace]

We have a digital version of PTSD from our first landing in Ashlands. There was much rage-quitting that first week. Pretty much set all our skills back to zero from all the deaths lol, so I feel this comment in my little toon's digital soul.

[@AdventurestGaming]

For me it was actually first time I started to think about "rage-quitting" from the game. It was really like D day. On the first days of test the was much higher spawn rate for all the monsters. Still got some flashbacks )

[@Bzzz-pm4pk]

We came there well prepared and then our boat got stuck in the middle of the ocean, between the rocks the ground must be so high it got perfectly stuck on it and we were unable to free it. So we build a portal on a rock and brought materials for another boat.

[@remyhamel8694]

I personally prefer not destroying the front entrance, we just take over the fortress by building a staircase outside..

[@AdventurestGaming]

Of course, this is also a completely working option. Thanks for the comment!

[@mynameswouldntwork]

​@@BannedInChinaTM Look at it like scaling a wall to invade. That's what it is.

[@AdventurestGaming]

Yes and no! It's almost impostible to have secure base in Ashlands without castle walls.

[@AdventurestGaming]

Yeap! That's a good idea!

[@TheGolferguy71]

@@BannedInChinaTM No more cheesy than people that use portals. Raiding fortress/castle buildings almost always included some sort of stair/ladder type tools.

[@DailySquadProductions]

I managed to find a fortress with some ground near the edge just high enough for me to jump onto the ballista and I was able to siege it on foot without the need to break down the door. Now I've got myself an untouched fortress I'm super hyped to build. Great build I'm definitely taking some inspiration from it

Wow! This is really cool! I'm so glad you were inspired by my video! It will be very interesting to see what solutions will be implemented in the interior of your base

I've been working on this. This is an undertaking. I haven't even breeched yet, I've been just clearing outside mobs and that took me all night. I dug a hole along the wall of the fortress to put a workbench, bed and fire in it and went to bed. I'm excited to build a ram and breach this weekend.

[@AdventurestGaming]

I'm very glad that our thoughts are aligned. I wish you good luck in building your new base!

[@greaterliar]

Cool, I did the same (well the idea, not the digging down, which is a crazy good idea), but instead of destroying the first gates, I just build a staircase outside and took the fort keeping the walls & gates. Just in case, plus new portal changing the game pretty much. Thanks for the showcase 🎉 Hope the area will be "buildable" after public test.

[@AdventurestGaming]

Building a staicase is an option. You will keep a fortress sealed. But it can be anoing to repair outer parts because they will be destroyed pretty easily. New portals - one love ))) Thanks for the comment!

@@AdventurestGaming How do you prevent them from destroying your door into the base?

[@AdventurestGaming]

Main door is the only place you need to keep your eye on. You can build stairs and don't crush the main gates. Or you can fortify the gates. In my practice I don't had any problems defending the base. But yeah you cannot feel 100% safe in Ashlands any way.

[@AsidsTechTips]

@1:58 how did you clear the tower walls on the bottom floor? my bottom floor does not go down that deep. so my only assumption here looking at your build is that you broke the walls.

[@AdventurestGaming]

Thank you for your comment! You noticed that when we dig in different parts of the map, the maximum depth can be different. We go down to the lower level of the map itself. If you can't dig roughly enough, then the depth specifically under this castle is insufficient. Try choosing another fortress somewhere on a hill, perhaps the roughness of the lower level of the map will be sufficient there.

[@AsidsTechTips]

@@AdventurestGaming Thanks dude, So I did manage to acheieve the same result, but I did need to scp the save from the server over to my local machine, pop into degumode, and i used the cheat sword to break the lower tower wall to raise it to the same level as you had it in your video, I did clear out another fortress and hollow it out for asksvin breeding, the depth was the same, but ill keep looking. your build here was / is absolutly awesome. thanks again.

[@DR4296]

This is a cool idea if you really want to place your personal base in that zone. But honestly, we just took one over and I don't know what to do with it. My team of four people each has their own personal base in different zones. And we just build portals all over for everything. We actually made a stable small base where we beached our ship when we hit the Ashlands. It suits our purposes just fine. We port in and then either hop the walls to go exploring or use another portal to port into this new fort we just conquered. I figure we'll just establish portals wherever we conquer and just use them to get around so that we can bypass the mobs. Then we take everything back home to our home zones. At least those don't have the constant maintenance of putting bones in the shield generators.

[@AdventurestGaming]

Thanks for the comment! In my personal gameplay I've got small outpost on the shore of Ashlands and big main base on the border of 4 other biomes. Outpost is definitely not safe, but it serves it's purpose to be portal place.

[@xodroid9853]

Our fortress is right next to fader, that will end up being hopefully a safe place for the boss portal.

Your advise regarding lava blobs saved me to waste tons of time on building over a terrain that will be blown away by those pests. Many many thanks. Just some questions about the central tower: What happens if you don't support it with beams? And those beams have to forcefully be flametal ones like you are using?

[@AdventurestGaming]

Thank you very much for your comment! It's really nice when my videos really help people. Regarding the central tower, in one of the videos on KZbin that came out a few weeks after my publication, I saw how that tower continued to float in the air without any support. But that was on the test server. What the situation is now, I can't say for sure. For my part, I decided not to take risks and add columns to support the entire structure. Regarding the materials for the columns, anything that can withstand the weight of the stone will do. It can be just stone columns or metal piles, there will be no difference.

You dont have to destroy the front wall. All you need is to raise ground next to fortress and jump into it. Its actuly a good strategy. Raise ground (bring a lot of stone) --- enogh so you can stand on easy and wall it araund to protect yourself from balistas. Then snipe the enemy summoner boss inside base. After you are done, run araund base and smash with hammer (outside) to kill spawned army of skeletons inside).

Some of them supported by metal beams on the edges. But this is more the exception than the rule.

You need to force the floor. Lay the basement floor on raised ground. Be sure that second floor touches the walls and force some places where you want to build heavy peaces with Iron or Flametal beams.

I just did this last night. It’s not permanent because I destroyed the center tower, but I still wanted a safe fortress in Ashlands (I’m not as good at the game as some, so it’s the first one I was able to tackle successfully). I had to use grausten pillars at the bedrock level for the basement to get everything to stay structural, I’ll probably swap to flametal when I get extra. My main floor seems fine for all my crafting stations, hearths, etc. The top deck (exposed level) is turning into a castle all on its own. I may end up with a 4-level by the time I’m done. But I had no issues with things breaking, and even the grausten floor tiles stuck directly to the outter walls at the stairs. It’s a thing of beauty.

All these cries about the complexity of this biome started after the first days on the test server. There, the monster spawn was probably twice as high. Plus, no one understood what and how to do and what to expect from this or that monster. For me personally, landing in a new biome was comparable to D-Day. It took more than two hours. Not only did our ship collapse and my friend and I got stuck on the rocks, but after we got to the shore, the monster spawn was so high that we literally did not have time to fight them off. It was really cool! In the end, the developers heard the opinion of the majority of players and significantly reduced the monster spawn. And now, you come there and do not feel the level of excitement that we felt during the first test.

[@tobiasstaab4351]

has this been patched? i cant place the floor on the top layer

[@AdventurestGaming]

What exactly do you mean "can't place floor on the top layer"?

[@tobiasstaab4351]

The layer of stone floors where you placed the shield generators. I can build one line of the floors and the second one is already red. How do you support them? Ty for your reply

[@AdventurestGaming]

I started by snaping it to the corners of the fortress walls. You can see it on the video. Then continue around the outer line. Some times there are small gaps between the wall and the floor. Then you need to support these places with metal beams just a little bit. Then you have to follow the rule of stone structures. Two outer pieces will support the one between them. So you need to aling and build inner part ( the tower one ) and only after you can fill the middle of the structure.

@@AdventurestGaming ok thank you!!

[@AdventurestGaming]

Welcome! :)

[@kampfer91]

What happen if i destroy the inner tower gate to get to the loot inside ?

[@AdventurestGaming]

You'll have to think of a new design for the central tower.

[@tomasmalvarez316]

I destroyed as much as I could, the rest is floating in the air now :/

[@hibiki3732]

This is so cool bro

[@AdventurestGaming]

Thanks! New video will be soon!

[@aniplotscene3153]

Where is the kichen smoke go ?

[@AdventurestGaming]

It will go behind the false wall. I've made big guide about fire and smoke mechanics. You should check it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIXPoHttoJKZndU

[@snauspockets9924]

You never did explain why you didn't enter the inner sanctum.

[@AdventurestGaming]

First of all, to preserve the integrity of the tower. It acts as the central part of the interior. Secondly, to preserve the green glow from the stone. Thanks for the comment!

[@RyNych]

@@AdventurestGaming Actually it's enough to just not breaking the box in the center. Although I think they made the central walls higher now. And now I cant make same openspace hall as yours.

[@claycthomp]

Awesome!

[@AdventurestGaming]

Thank you so much!

[@valqora]

do a safest base in each biome video

[@AdventurestGaming]

I'm not sure that this type of video will be interesting to most of the players.

[@orpanaa]

It’s all fun and games till the Fallen valkyrie comes

[@AdventurestGaming]

Yeah! Most of the time you have to deal with her on yourself. Because turrets are not as effective as we all wish to.

[@HardcoreHallthorr]

You could also just leave the maingate and just jump over the wall

[@AdventurestGaming]

Sure! It's another good idea!

[@Pro100RoZ]

Nice, thx 4 idea

[@AdventurestGaming]

Very glad you liked it! Thanks!

[@KcGanjaBoy]

I think you missed couple of steps

[@AdventurestGaming]

No I'm not :) I've just wanted to share the priciple, and then it's all up to you ;)

[@bz0rrr]

Seems like there were a few steps skipped at each phase

[@AdventurestGaming]

Only the most important ones. To keep the video short and informative.

[@bz0rrr]

@@AdventurestGaming Totally fair to make a video like that, I just wouldn't call it "Step-by-Step Instructions." It's more like a high level overview. In the end it's fine, figuring details out on your own can be fun, the title is just misleading.

[@AdventurestGaming]

I tried to explain as clearly as possible. If you have any questions, I will be glad to answer them!

[@marianoitaliano1470]

Amazing!

[@AdventurestGaming]

Thank you so much!

[@Mazeingpower]

as long as nothing see's you nothing will attack

[@AdventurestGaming]

Yeah! So one of the stategies is to block spawns of the monsters around you. That might work too.

I’m thinking the ashlands are gonna need a nerf. Badly, and soon. It took a buddy of mine in debug mode around 20 minutes to beat the boss. We were doing some testing and stuff, just to see what all we would be in for on release. Man, I don’t know how any of us are gonna beat it currently. It’s a nightmare

[@AdventurestGaming]

I have already completed almost all the content, with the exception of the battle with the last boss and the quest to find the fire sword. It was of course very difficult. Especially at the beginning, but then you start to get used to the situation. I want to say that when traveling through a new location it is much easier to avoid unnecessary clashes with monsters because there may be too many of them. You just run past in search of points of interest and there you are already fighting for your life.

[@GodlessArtist]

Working through my first playthough on Very Hard. I'm up to Ashlands and it is very hard, but still making progress. Queen fight took me 2+ hrs. It is all possible. I imagine on normal it would all go pretty easy.

[@AdventurestGaming]

Very Hard?! You mean like with no map, no portals and total loss of gear and skills?!

[@sleepycat6955]

Don't waste your time here, there's nothing step by step in this video. Few minutes in and the guy fast forwards and skips everything. It's a clickbait showcase.

[@AdventurestGaming]

I tried to make the video as accessible as possible. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.

[@elspoocho4637]

also making a fortress base is super pointless

[@fadedchicken]

While I agree it can’t be called step by step, I think we can all agree that there’s no way a five minute video would cover such a massive fortress. Not to mention while what he did looks pretty resource intensive it’s pretty straight forward and should be easy to replicate with your own touches.

[@corporateturtle6005]

Trashlabs repeating the failure that was Mistlands with Mistlands II: Dumpster Mechanics Boogaloo? lol. We waited all these years for this? Looks like an update I will devcommand my way through and save myself the time and disappointment.

[@AdventurestGaming]

You definitely should try it without any cheats. It was a lot of fun. Especially when me and my friend first sailed to the Ashlands on Longship. Boat drowned in hot waters and we stuck on rock cliffs trying to get to the land. Man it was incredible 2 hour jurney ))))) Thanks for the comment!

[@arthanor9631]

@corporateturtle6005 I'm curious: What did you love so much about the initial game that you still follow it despite disliking the Mistlands (I assume because of the fog? Everything else was very "vanilla" for Valheim) and being so convinced you will dislike the Ashlands (I'm not sure why.. it doesn't have mist, although it has other ways to challenge the player and the use of ranged weapons)? Do you not expect to find what you liked, or is it just that the annoyance will outweigh it? Why bother to play if you devcommand your way through? (I admit I did as well, but just because I was lacking pre-ashlands resources and couldn't be bothered to go back and grind).

[@corporateturtle6005]

@@arthanor9631 Did you not actually play Mistlands to think "mist go brrrrrrr"? Had little to do with mist although it was a stupid and poorly implemented mechanic if we're being honest: The wisp had issues keeping up with a nonrunning player, couldn't at all for one running. The mist lamps didn't clear much and were a waste of resources to craft and place. The uneven terrain made melee combat problematic at best, useless at worse. If there was the slightest difference up or down you were guaranteed to miss 100% of the time as well as waste precious stamina. Speaking of stamina, most mobs could fly with no limitations making an already bad biome mechanic even worse. However that's not a Mistlands problem, combat itself is poorly designed and has been since release with no effort on the part of the developers to remedy this despite the massive disappointment and constant complaints from the community. But no "mist go bbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrr" was not my main complaint.

[@arthanor9631]

@corporateturtle6005 I see the mist as an indirect nerf to the bow. Same with the lava making most fights happen in smaller areas. Since it's the most common complained, I assumed it was yours too. I agree the steepness of the terrain and wisplight behavior were annoying. Neither of those are issues in Ashlands though, as the terrain is pretty smooth and there's no wisp mechanic. There also isn't any annoying "wait to harvest" mechanic like for sap and the underground parts are more like troll caves than mines, which is welcome. Combat is still valheim combat though, but as you say, it's always been like that. I think Valheim's problem is that for most of the community, the thrill of discovery is gone. The new stuff isn't quite feeling new enough (it's still pretty much the same recipe of difficult to get ores, special items in dangerous places, wood and food are non issues, unlike Mistlands which at least didn't have a metal), so it just seems like something to get over with, hence your devcommand comment I guess.

[@Kymss-j9z]

I know the first couple of days there was a bug w aggro from every tree burning that was fixed. This is the test branch of ashlands. Maybe wait for public release before you get so angry lol.
