[@sethivaltas619]

The boss of the tower is called ”Thungr & Zil”. When Thungr is killed, Zil spawns in as a second phase. I’m guessing you used commands to kill all the fulings in the tower, accidentally deleting Thungr as well 😅

[@LeviathanScream]

LMFAO

Honestly a pretty solid update. Actually like the idea of open air 'dungeons' though I'd be terrified to run into that first crypt early game. Also 2-3 per world seems. . .frustrating. I think my one gripe is just the randomized locations. Yes, you can always pop it into the world generator to find everything. . .but I shouldn't have to. And while I like how sparsely populated the game is. . .I wish there was something in game that would point you to the pair and these special dungeons. Not like neon signs or anything but small environmental clues that could point you in the general direction.

[@juscapella6649]

I think the guy in the video forgot to mention that there's a map in front of Hildir that shows the location of each dungeon

[@arthanor9631]

Yeah, finding Hildir is "random", but at least after that, you know where to look for dungeons. A tunable wishbone that helps you to find more than just ore would be a great addition too.

[@VelaiciaCreator]

I was almost worried that the new cosmetics was going to be like 10 items tops.... this lays that to rest.

[@NickRawcliffe]

Nice

[@DanielTorres-vs9wt]

adding new things to old places is amazing, i hope we see more like this, always dreamed to fight a huge bear in the first viome like a mini open world boss (would be awesome to see one for each viome). Also hope they get those new dungeons more often than just 2-3 per world.

[@MaconHero07]

I’ve been waiting for this update for SO LONG, this custom map settings are all I ever wanted Nice vid as always Nick

[@madood100]

Same i was sick of the raids it means i don't have to build a big wall to stop the raids

[@realdeadlygaming9373]

I am so happy after a very long (yr) break i've picked this game back up. have not put it down for the last few months now! under rated and addictive this game is!!!!!

[@silverhandle]

I’m not sure it’s underrated! It’s rated high af on many peoples minds and hearts :)

[@Xeanthorn]

This looks super cool! Can't wait for the next stream! Wooooot! Thanks for the video!

[@NickRawcliffe]

You’re welcome. Yeh it’s gonna be so fun!

[@xodroid9853]

Helpful details ty! My favorite was the look of the parkour tower. Will there be a mini boss speedrun!? :D

[@uncleacidic8850]

the sealed tower should have another boss at the bottom called "Thungr", a dark berserker that Zil rides. maybe not in every tower i guess

[@NickRawcliffe]

Interesting idea

[@adam_sandler]

@@NickRawcliffe That wasn't just an idea, that's actually in the game. I'm not sure if your world was bugged or if its random, but in my own world I definitely saw the two of them. They drop separate trophies too, but only one (Zil for me, although maybe just the last one killed) drops the chest

[@JimRiveraPerez]

@@adam_sandler looks like he used console commands and pressed "K" to kill all enemies nearby on the tower and that caused the first boss to die you can see this because there is black metal on the floor before he opens the gates on the floors above

[@adam_sandler]

@@JimRiveraPerez makes sense, the second one sort of "spawns" independent when the first dies so it didn't die with killall

[@uncleacidic8850]

@@NickRawcliffe No, I mean that I saw this in another tower. you only had half the Master-Blaster combo in your tower. answered from the notification so I didn't see all the other replies

[@meilo333]

really nice update

[@joshmiller7870]

New portal ring of fire animation is cool. Also nice to finally be able pet halstien.

[@7heavenfist572]

Excellent news 🎉.Thanks "Iron gate" for the art work. It's just unfortunate that Smoldering thumb is so rare. If you Nick, could mention how to get to this test server.

[@NickRawcliffe]

I made a video about this when mistlands came out and the way you do it is still the same kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpKTgmmHiat_oJY I may post this info again in a new video.

[@madood100]

Nice good to see that you will be able to stop raids and the other things look awesome as well

[@excancerpoik]

They should add more reason to kill the mini bosses because i mean i guess you get clothes and whatever but you will never use those as you will allways have armor instead

[@SleekTriggerman]

The clothes are big for home base maintenance or building and things of the sort.

[@seanfogarty3811]

Have you gone back and seen the full mini boss in the plains Thungr and Zil?

[@Cappanerd]

Thank you so MUCH!

[@NickRawcliffe]

you're welcome. thanks for watching.

[@Ulvehunden1970]

Have any of you tried going to Ashlands in this testversion ?, there is a new metal there called flametal (flaming metal), not really anything you can do with it yet, besides smelt it into bars, but i guess the next update comes with recipees to use that metal for armor and/or weapons

[@keegs1163]

I love the ashlands! Flametal has been around a long time and i have some from my first server back in the legacy version

[@villijuusto]

Does Hildur and dungeons spawn already explored areas?

[@jujumoz]

When you discover one of the new donjon, the other places on the map are empty or you can find more than one sealed tower for exemple?

[@MorbolReseacher]

I feel like the Immersive world modifier would go good with the build your own boat mod XD

[@JustSamantics]

I’ve been regretting my beard choice since day one, so glad I’ll be able to edit it now! Do you know if the new mini bosses and merchant will spawn in undiscovered locations or will I have to start a new world?

[@elusiverinkusu]

I wanna know too. I'm new to the game.

[@theorigami3685]

If you've already discovered the area then you'll either have to 1. Uncover new spots or 2. Start a new world.

[@JustSamantics]

@@theorigami3685 thank you!

[@StuckTrippin]

There is a command you can put in in game to change your hair and beard styles just so you know

[@JustSamantics]

@@StuckTrippin I did not know! I’ll look it up, thank you

[@kesna8]

Can't wait for this to come out. Can we please be able to plant berry bushes next!!!

[@Temulon]

You've always been able to plant berry bushes. It's a console command.

[@diobrando2160]

sure would love to be able to build stuff like that tower dungeon. tall and with stone spiral staircase.

[@NickRawcliffe]

True

[@rynsart]

This update looks amazing. Most excited for hammer mode

[@vermillionjeg]

The dificulty settings makes this update for me!

[@NickRawcliffe]

That’s cool

[@chromeslyvania9227]

i hope map table is able to see map even no map mode on.. hope these on an official update soon

[@stink_licker]

sounds like a great update but im still looking forward to the ash lands.

[@kevintoole9386]

Thanks for the useful video. Do you know if we will need to start a new world to discover all this?

[@fullspeedfordbronco]

Can't find here anywhere on my map. I've explored pretty much all of the Meadows I can find in my seed...help

[@leespiderpod]

I generally find Hildir half buried in the ground

[@ismlamaroof6438]

The game just gets more and more developed into something that goes beyond anything else in the genre.

[@tutkarz]

what is beyond in your opinion? because to me it's the same lazy approach like all other survival games that don't bother creating living world. Instead, you have just few static spawns and empty world without much to do.

[@ismlamaroof6438]

@@tutkarz There are many things. I think the building is very well developed, with the addition of the support/gravity aspect added to it. The story and combat is simple, yet engaging, giving a good balance between a straight building and adventure. The biome stages gives you something to work for. The updates they keep working on between larger releases. There is also something intangible, that I can't explain.

[@tutkarz]

@@ismlamaroof6438 I'm sure there are many players that enjoy this game but for me it lacks depth, living world, competition, reasons to build buildings and explore the world, no civilisation, nothing. Thats why I said it's not different for me than all other simplistic survival games. True survival revolution is still ahead of us. Valheim is far from it.

[@Artyom125]

@@tutkarzI agree with you and disagree. I hate to be that guy that says the game is held back by lore restrictions but the game doesn’t really feel alive because it’s the afterlife? Valheim is kinda purgatory for our characters. There so much lore and story in the rune stones, our dreams, and the history and fates of the mobs really build the world. Seeing Thor going through the sky and Odin really immerse you. Out of all the survival games I’ve played valheim is the only one that balances story and gameplay really well. It would be cool to see civilizations but in the context of the game has built it wouldn’t work. Maybe they could add a Valhalla update that could maybe act as like the nether in MC and have “civilization” there. As for the game right now it’s very immersive which is all I need to feel like Valheim exists like Witcher or red dead. Valheim is certainly doing it’s own thing.

[@tutkarz]

@@Artyom125 people like you are hurting game industry with your low or even non existent expectations and lack of imagination. I don't care about lore at all. If I would like to read interesting stories, I would just open any book and find waaaay more interesting stuff there. That's why I never understood why people insist on this in games. Also games where some text was enough to satisfy players were popular 30 years ago. Now I demand from devs way more. I demant to be able to write my own story, that's why I expect to have living world with rich sandbox elements so I can decide what will happen. And considering how much money Valheim took from players it's outragous how little they delivered. Sure there will be players who will enjoy this and I'm ok with that. What I don't like is when such players are defending such shallow game saying it's enough. No, it's not.

[@gatorgold4902]

After this update comes out do you need to start a new world to access it or will it update old worlds too?

[@harryevans4994]

i cannot find Hildir at all, how do i know if i have the update

[@youtubesuccs860]

What version is this? I still have version from 15th of June and there are no new pending updates

[@xalaeth2119]

WOOOO I'm so exciteddd

[@NickRawcliffe]

SAME

[@maxiwinkler4557]

do you have to create a new world to have the new stuff generate in your world? or is it like minecraft where as long as you haven’t explored chunks, those chunks can spawn the new content

[@frederikburghardt1013]

If you haven't explored the area it will still spawn, but only in those areas. It wont spawn them in the part of the world you have explored already

[@maxiwinkler4557]

@@frederikburghardt1013 thank you so much! i appreciate you answering!!

[@jeffreylove6415]

I hope for more updates

[@Tepoooo]

For some reason I can't make that Vice upgrade. I have all the materials and I even tried console commands.

[@bmaschal]

Regarding the new difficulty settings, are these changeable on the fly or only once per world? Also can you use the new settings on a hosted server world?

[@treydavidson5184]

changeable at any time from world selection menu i believe

[@Leinerskol]

Does anyone know if when this update comes out, will Hildir spawn in the undiscovered meadows or will I have to create a new world to get to access her?

[@theorigami3685]

Undiscovered only.

[@IsoInspired]

So you get these chests then turn it over to the blue lady then she sells it back to you?

[@coopbuilt]

What happens to current worlds when the update drops? Does my world stay the same but with the updated stuff or do I have to start over?

[@bobobobo-ki2fw]

Game looks incredible on your pc

[@alroy43]

Thanks Nick, as always this is where I come to get the skinny on new Valheim content.

[@NickRawcliffe]

Aw thanks bud. You’re very welcome

[@voidstar5563]

I hope they add new bosses to the game soon

[@Bobbacuda]

These new additions are awesome! Thank you for the breakdown. Will I have to start a new map to see these?

[@OhImChris]

no

[@DanLo-tube]

The new content is added to all maps. Only caveat is that the additional content won't be added to any place you already visited in your world : it can be found only in locations you did not explored yet

[@greenthunder1000]

I just completed my campaign. Damn it all.

[@kelp5557]

So you need to carry that chest upstairs again and then down the tower from outside to take it back to Hildir? WILD

[@CamGG__68]

ah yes, just what we needed. clothes. lol

[@seanmorris2869]

Did they say if when the update comes out if it will come out on consoles at the same time or will consoles have to wait

[@bendover7584]

Is this update only for pc for now, or will it come out for console too.

[@a_tremereandsomeblood_just3642]

No death penalties to skills is my way to go now. My character is so strong that one death was costing Weeks of gameplay to get my skills back online if i did not die another time that is. Losing my stuff is not a big deal but losing my skills and get weaker and weaker sucked.

[@AleksiJuvakka]

They really outdid themselves with this update, the devs are amazing

[@NickRawcliffe]

I agree, it’s so cool

[@alcovitch]

Honestly, all the clothing rewards for killing these super rare bosses is all pointless nonsense.

[@AleksiJuvakka]

@@alcovitch I love the cosmetics, they add variety and can be used for decoration

[@michaelbrink4474]

wow waited months for new clothes and dances. great

[@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248]

I don't know what the excitement is about. 8 months. All this update did was break all my mods. I use ValheimRaft solely for the rope ladder (which is AWESOME) But now it doesn't work. I use mass farming so I can plant 25 items at a time in a perfect square neatly spaced but THAT no longer works. I use "multicraft" so that when I need to make 500 arrows I don't have to spam the craft button 25 times but THAT no longer works. I get the impression that these guy's office must look like the offices of Cloud Imperium Games. They spend a good portion of their day playing Fortnight and counting their money.

[@gcextol8129]

Cant wait to play Valheim when its out of early access 😊 They add so many awsome stuff 😊

[@GHOSTUNIT101]

just play it now you oaf and mods add so much more

[@Draco1953]

so there are only 3 chest that you can collect,, could be the reason i couldn't give hildr the extra chest I collected.. because i went out and collected chests prior to going to her and she only took 3 and I was stuck with the others and can't open them...

[@josiahanderson4721]

Is there a way to get this update?

[@simmsamma1348]

does this update in my current world or do i need to start a new one?

[@michaeldemidio8773]

Will this be on console as well, if it's mentioned already and I missed it I apologize, thanks in advance

[@rickydaniel657]

PLEASE devs, quit implementing items that cannot be teleported. The tedious expedition dragging items back via ship and carriage is not the “risk-reward” experience it’s supposed to be. It just feels like a waste of time.

[@andrewcarr5214]

I think it works both ways. It will feel like a massive waste of time maybe if you have sunk in hundreds of hours in, I can see that getting old. They should add some sort of mechanic that you can unlock that would massively help with this instead of it being removed, because I like it a little

[@GameplayOssboss]

Is there an option where you can use portals with every item?

[@treydavidson5184]

yes

[@dravinlancaster6800]

Looking forward to everything but the clothing..if it don't add to stats then it's useless to me..not sure why they decided to add clothing items..maybe a transmogrification option to change the look of our gear..but everything else sounds great..finally can port ore..the greatest option in this update..

[@trancedoutkid]

at this point, there's likely dozens upon dozens of Vaheim RP servers and, in a game that focuses just as much on building and creating your own spaces as it does monster slaying, it makes sense they'd add stuff to supports that part of the player base.

[@martinnordstrm2203]

An idea would be that equipping or putting fancy clothes on an armorstand increases rested bonus, would be cool if they did.

[@hearsemonkey]

Are there only 3 new bosses?

i finally beat the queen yesterday morning, and told myself i was done with valheim until the next update. i can't believe it, but i played about 315 hours in one month. is there any risk in playing the beta public test on previous worlds? if i make a backup, what is the risk?

[@frederikburghardt1013]

Public tests can be unstable and the update perhaps changes. I would recommend to make a backup, but then you should be riskfree

[@chris_topher1984]

@@frederikburghardt1013 thanks for the reply. yeah i made a backup. i'm assuming when the official update comes out, i need to go into the steam settings and manually opt out of the beta, and my save should work as normal. i already found hildir's camp in my previous world. it didn't take much time, i just had to sail to a new island and walk around some large meadows. now i have a lot more to do, as she gave me several locations all across the map to go to.

[@connormclean5287]

what a boring reward for the new quests tho. Yaaay... a tunic...

[@NickRawcliffe]

Tbh I don’t normally like cynicism in the comments but you do have a point there. I wish there was something more functional.

[@bangbangzz1]

I totally agree. You go to all that effort, only to be rewarded with clothing that I would never use because I just wear armour. I guess its cool for those hard-core role players. Hopefully they add items that are useful for the rest of us too.

[@typesblue2611]

As of now, I can't play the game. I play modded, and while I have quite a few, they're all fairly 'common'. Game won't load, but to the best of my knowledge, the mods have been updated. I'm hoping that the problem I'm having is that the mods are updated, and am now waiting for the game to be updated? I'm grateful to find this video, as I was wondering what exactly the problem is.

[@steverestless9202]

Are you playing in the playtest, which is where the content discussed in this video is, or was it the latest update to the main game that isn't working for you? I have about 24 mods on my main game, and as of yesterday, most, but not all had updated. Three of them, FunGuy Fury, Torc Neclaces, and Valheim Cuisine were preventing my world from loading at all. I'd get stuck on the purple loading screen with the troll on it, and it would sit there forever. Valheim Cuisine updated 6/16/23, so I'm back to playing. Found out today that Valweed isn't stopping me from loading, but whenever I smoke, I get an out-of-body experience or the game grinds to a complete halt, and the console spits a ton of errors. Which is a shame, I liked that for the stamina regen boost. What I did, was make a local copy of my save file, and archive that in a zip file to protect it. Then I update all the mods I could, and then in the thunderstore mod manager, I would click on the version number of the mods that I had. this loads their webpage, which says when they were last updated. This let me identify which ones haven't updated. Then I turned off all the un-updated mods, and added them back in, one by one, loading the character and loading the world. Those that wouldn't let me load the world, I turned off and left off until they updated. then I went around testing things, once I had everything that would load, loaded. That's how I found that another mod wasn't working. Hope that helps.

[@SirDuoDai]

a but disappointing but happy with what we got. Was hoping to get more biomes but thats ok.

[@user-hl6tq7cw7e]

Is this update already landed?

[@christopherking179]

Sounds like just another day to any DayZ player. Most of those guys use a cell-phone app for a map.

[@robertstan298]

The "no map" bit seem incredibly idiotic as a mechanic, right up there with "no death = hardcore", it's like making your character purposefully mentally deficient as to somehow not be able to scribble some locations on a piece of leather or paper lol... yet somehow, they can also craft intricate buildings, machinery and weapons lol, makes zero sense. But otherwise everything else is me likey. My world playstyle whenever I'll redo the game will probably be a mix of casual + increased combat difficulty and raids on top. The "lose skill when you die" as a baseline was always headscratcher for me, if anything death in a no death realm should make strengthen your knowledge.

[@hallaloth3112]

Some people want the challenge of 'no map'. . .personally I get lose even in the area my base half the time so no thanks. As far as skill loss on death, while I agree lore wise for the game it doesn't make sense, its a fairly normalized game mechanics that dying = losing something. Since skills are the equivalent of exp. . . I think full skill loss is. . . too much for me to deal with. but I've never minded the lower skill cost of a death since most of the time the death is my fault, and playing solo those skills ramp back up pretty quickly.

[@zaza7124]

Sucks my world got deleted on Xbox 😢
