I just died, logged off, went to youtube and saw this...

[@rtleppert3419]

Literally same

[@totallyshill5392]

Same I just defeated Bonemass last night. Got into mountains for the first time, then I was ripped to pieces by a pack of wolves and couldn’t face going back for my stuff so just called it. Open KZbin and boom, it’s almost like a personal attack.

[@RPLAsmodeus]

@@totallyshill5392 Wolves do not like the Atgier secondary attack. Just make sure you have some stamina and health potions too.

[@NickRawcliffe]

Apparently the algorithm knows 😂

[@brianchurch1254]

Same here!

[@AlgoConJuan]

Great video Nick! I knew that dodge rolling made you invincible for a bit, but I never thought about dodging in the direction of the enemy to stay close-My main focus was always to get away. I'm going to try this on my next playthrough.

[@benkesler487]

The exact same thing happened to me until I saw a friend just constantly roll into enemies. I was like...why didn't I think of that?

[@NickRawcliffe]

Hell yeh glad to hear it. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@Twinkies-nl2ie]

I knew about the roll, but I never thought to use it in the burial chambers. That period can be considered vulnerable since there is a lack of ample protection. Really helpful video.

[@Smokasaurus]

This isn't the video we searched for but it's the video we needed.

[@mentalfloss2521]

Dana is going to love this, thanks Nick! 👍

[@NickRawcliffe]

XD you’re welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@Conner_Slackabee]

Great content! Very useful. Thanks so much!

[@NickRawcliffe]

Thanks for the compliment. You’re very welcome.

[@dandymatt]

Great video. I tried dodge rolling after playing Elden Ring(my 1st souls adventure) and was happy to see it works here too!

[@stephanycrestwood4943]

Thanks this really helped me

[@LokirofRoriksted]

good tips, I just find it hillarious that "How to die less" requires you to /die lol

[@liminose]

Dashboard or use task manager to end your games task after saving your character and the next time you log in you will spawn at your bed with the items you saved with, including ore and metals ingots

[@NickRawcliffe]

Yes this exploit works.

[@adamking4246]

Can you use the Chat box on Console? I'm on day 1,200 and I never noticed it lol

[@riteasrain]

Good video, and helpful advice about dodging, thanks :) Always something new to learn playing V, even for a few years like myself. Some helpful tips in the comments too.

[@stephenwells2464]

Best tip to not die in Valheim- be careful cutting wood!

[@alstar1874]

nice

[@NickRawcliffe]

Noice.

[@voidstar5563]

How to die less? Get good 👍 😅

[@NickRawcliffe]

XD

[@RPLAsmodeus]

Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do. The game just decides ''nah you're dead bruv''

[@NickRawcliffe]

TRUE XD

[@PirGoldsword]

You say this as if you haven't tried Ark Survival Evolved before... lol this game is so much more tame than that

[@sfgtvee]

you know thats right.. hahaha

[@Miro_X]

@@PirGoldsword Speaking as someone who has over 1k hours in ark, yeah, that's only true until you reach mistlands.

[@cmel7841]

another tip when you die, have some backup food by your bed, doesnt need to be much, and then WAIT to get the well rested buff, I know we are impatient and we want to rush back in but this helps a lot when running back to regen your health

[@NickRawcliffe]

Yup

[@petrus4]

A lot of people seem to consider this impractical, but my favourite strategy for death reduction is to have 3 reserve sets of gear per tier if possible. That is a lot of work, especially during the bronze stage, but for me the main reason why death loops happened, is because I would die while fully geared, but then keep running back in and try and retrieve my items while completely naked. I love some of the KZbin videos I've seen exploring Soviet bunkers, and so I built my own in Valheim, complete with surplus equipment. I'm not the best at this game in terms of actual technique, but by having a lot of stuff, I can keep trying even when I do die, and still win in the end. Another two suggestions which have worked well for me, is to make bed sheds on top of about every fourth or fifth crypt you encounter in the swamp, and also to always build a fire just inside the door of every crypt as well. The bed sheds keep corpse runs fast and short, and the fires allow you to renew your Rested bonus and maintain it constantly while you are exploring crypts.

[@petrus4]

@@BolphesarusMaximusWardius Yep, that can work too.

[@benkesler487]

Great idea, though I often just skip the bronze age and start doing this during the iron age. I find keeping movement speed for fighting Elder more important than being tanky anyway, so I use troll hide armor until I can get the iron stuff.

[@benkesler487]

@@BolphesarusMaximusWardius True, though the troll hide armor gives you a bit more survivability if you do get hit without sacrificing mobility

[@ryanwebb9779]

I sometimes use my previous tier gear, never made duplicates though. That's a lot of work.

[@NickRawcliffe]

Yup backup gear is useful.

[@dobroserdechnyy]

Feels good to be back baby. Laptop fried, quit my job and put myself through hell. Working hard and better off than before. Steam deck initial install finally worked and right when I downloaded Valhiem, Nick's videos came rushing back in my mind

[@Xallys]

dodging and parrying golems is infuriating. I have died many times to them.

[@scottbaumann7140]

Did I see you holding a lantern? I didn't know that was an item. Do I have to do something special to craft it or am I just blind?

[@Geseth]

Progress up to Mistland and you will know how to craft one ;)

[@NickRawcliffe]

You find the mats in the Mistlands.

[@tripleaarcade]

Seems to be a trend that people saw this right after dying a bunch

[@NickRawcliffe]

😂true

[@Odin313]

A tip noone made a video about. If you die, instantly close out(force close) the game without saving or logging off. You will have all your stuff still and not dead when you log back in. If you do this in a friends world, you will still drop a tombstone. But when you log back in youll still have your stuff in invo and your tombstone will still be there. Your welcome, i just taught you how to dup =)

[@NickRawcliffe]

lol this is true

[@Odin313]

@@NickRawcliffe it's a wonderful tip. I accidentally figured this out too lol.

[@sandmaster4444]

What is the best way to learn the timing of the dodge roll? As in which part of the attack actually inflicts the damage particularly troll, abomination, stone golem, etc., where they are quite long

[@NickRawcliffe]

The short answer is when they connect they deal the damage unless it’s AOE. As far as timing goes 99% of the time when the enemy is swinging there weapon down / towards you is the time to dodge. The roll animation is long and the I frames are generous. Most likely if you’re failing the dodge roll you are rolling late or way too early. You can start the dodge earlier than it seems basically. But don’t overthink it if you see the enemy swing their weapon dodge that will most likely work especially with a little practice.

[@losdemas2000]

Great video, as always, Nick. Thanks!

[@NickRawcliffe]

Aw thank you. You’re very welcome.

[@rtleppert3419]

this video was uploaded at the right time, i just died

[@NickRawcliffe]

XD well, thanks for watching.

[@benkesler487]

Great stuff! I definitely wish I knew this at the beginning of playing Valheim

[@NickRawcliffe]

Thank you

[@FoolsErrend]

Thanks for the vid. good information !

[@NickRawcliffe]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@mark36ngnt44]

Corpse run recommendation is spot on!

[@NickRawcliffe]

Ty

[@noterrormanagement]

I hate how most deaths are solely my fault because sometimes i forget to eat before going out doing stuff, so i'll just be fighting trolls and skeletons at 25 health lol.
