[@Barrelcase]

Me on day 72 with full upgraded bronze finally killing the elder in a close fight. Also Nick on day 0.7 with 10 rocks and a fucking stick

[@cqwickedwake7651]

Me and my friend started playing like a week or so ago, we might be past day 70 for sure and we are preparing for swamp but still didnt kill the 2nd boss haha

[@SirLeadbeater]

Me and my friend are a year in and we just got into the mist lands 😭

[@Barrelcase]

@@SirLeadbeater wow people do watch old videos, glad I’m not the only one.

[@Areolainspecta]

That fall cancel is probably one of the best. Died many times making infinite breeder because of how high they need to be

[@Komyets]

This was amazing, this is like... THE definitive "valheim tips" video lol None of the others come even close. Thank you for this!

[@NickRawcliffe]

Wow thanks bud, that’s a massive compliment. Really appreciate that.

[@cwage]

Awesome video! So many of these strats have been useful to me even in vanilla play, and I even learned a few new ones in this video.. Cheers!

[@NickRawcliffe]

Thanks dude, you’re very welcome. Glad to hear it.

[@Str8balla131]

Great video, I've been away from Valheim for years and started to get back into the game recently. This helped me a ton. Much appreciated!

[@losdemas2000]

Thanks, Nick! Really appreciate all the effort you go to, to produce these guides.

[@NickRawcliffe]

Thanks man. I appreciate that

[@joshilane539]

Great video man, alot of rly new stuff that I previously didnt know about, so I rly appreciate it... Im also happy to report that you CAN actually clip onto the roof of a burial chamber using a sitting log, this is done by clipping the log into the side wall beside the entrance ramp, sitting down, clipping through, and then standing on the sitting log and jumping up onto the roof (I've seen it mostly used for clearing huge distances with the feather cape)

[@Kadath_Gaming]

Fantastic stuff Nick. I use the Hammer trick by muscle memory all the time thanks to you.

[@NickRawcliffe]

That's awesome. Thanks for watching.

[@zapperman3557]

Thanks for the excellent guide! This is very helpful for preparing for the new Tyr challenge!

[@thehollyballs]

Just got to the part of combining eikthyr and corpse run, this helped me get away from 2 1star drauger archers in a crypt last night, I ran in with nothing but the eikthyr buff after dying and snuck up got my shit and they noticed me as i was putting my gear on so with 40 seconds left on corpse run i started dodge rolling to not get 1 shot by the archers and made it to the exit and had just enough corpse run and eikthyr to make it out of the swamp without using any stamina, was just non stop sprint for 30 seconds

[@spiereke82]

Nice video, these kinds of strats are also very useful in casual play!

[@mitmon_8538]

I'm just a casual player, but love the efficiency tips of speed runs, so thank you so much for this guide. I will probably use some more of the strats you've shown, like switching to the hammer for no animation of weapon sheathing. One question though; on one of my last deaths in the mountains, I noticed that the corpse run buff made it so I wasn't using any stam while sprinting, even without Eikthyr buff. Has the corpse run been buffed more? I'm guessing it was because I was running down a decline, so there wasn't enough stam usage to even bring up a stam bar, but I could swear I also had no stam bar while also running up a slight incline. I was just sprinting continuously for the entire corpse run duration and I don't remember that happening in the past. Granted, I try not to die at all, so my experience with corpse run is fairly limited.

[@scruffygaming627]

Excellent, thanks for that. a Few little things i didn't know, or didn't think were useful :)

[@glitchesbitsnbytes8758]

So far I have watched up to bonemass and these tips are great. Easy, simple and fantastic. I wish I saw this in my first run.

[@reyhaz]

you can jump on a crypt by jumping on one of the torches than on the top, you don't need to place a workbench at it's back easy way to fight a melee skeleton (even a 2star one with bare hands) is just to wait for it's attack animation to start and just step away from it

[@carlduckels]

Another awesome video Nick. Thank you!

[@GregDeHaas]

Looks like the devs plugged the Eithyr campfire strat - or I was just really unlucky. The skies opened up as soon as I summoned Eikthyr. One moment it was clear skies, next it was downpour. Campfires ruined, no go. In the end I took ages using a dagger and bow.

[@Atrym]

Cant wait to see you get WR!

[@mikehawk5722]

Agreed! It's gonna be awesome when Nick gets there :D

[@NickRawcliffe]

Thank you

[@GorgeousGirreor]

Great video, thanks!

[@madwelshbiker3710]

nice !strats command for your chat - looking forward to watching you run again!

[@NickRawcliffe]

True. Thanks man. I’ll see you on stream soon.

[@pulsefrequency]

this video is invaluable in attempting the trial of tyr challenge. thanks my man. i am slipping down the speedrunning rabbit hole.

[@ForgotMyOrange]

Many of these strategies are against the rules of the Tyr challenge, you can't rely on hacks/clipping quirks etc

[@pulsefrequency]

@@ForgotMyOrange yes. unfortunately i made this comment before they had clarified the rules. there's still great strats in this video and changed the way i play a lot.

[@GeorgeGabrielTemplarKnight]

The video was really helpful, thank you Nick. Also could you please let me know the name of the music you used during the - 11:38 - yag strats ?

[@clarkabrpi3428]

That was a lot of info dished out at break-neck speed!!!

[@fettfleckyoo]

That Video is so helpful for some extra techiques even if i will never speedrun the game. But maybe i'm not going to die so much in the future 😅

[@alstar1874]

Always good stuff dude!

[@NickRawcliffe]

Thank you

[@MrTheRipgut]

Epic man, this was beautiful.

[@NickRawcliffe]

Thank you glad you liked it bud.

[@AndreasFurnesSletten]

Thank you mate!

[@karstenmatosich8896]

Thank you for slogging through this for us! I've been super interested in a video like this more months now, and it's a huge help to anyone looking to try speedrunning an otherwise extremely overwhelming game. That's a like from me! :D

[@NickRawcliffe]

Thanks bud I really appreciate that, gl with the runs.

[@12inchcharge38]

Great video!

[@NickRawcliffe]

Thanks man. Glad you like it.

[@hewhoisme4343]

28:19 If you got the serpent out of line of sight do you think it'd be possible to log off and reset its ai?

[@Violaphobia]

By 10:00 “we’re still just roasting the bosses to death?!” By 18:00 “I love the smell of napalm in the morning”

[@zachrohlfs]

It will take some retraining but I am now going to rebind my build menu from Mouse 2 to a different mouse button. So many times I have gone to dodge with my hammer out and gotten smacked in the face. :D

[@johngillett133]

Nice one m8

[@bl8388]

So much useful info. 16:02 Am I to understand, if Yag paid better attention to diet and healthy stomach size, Yag would have lived a longer life? (Starts checking gym prices)

[@MarcusHelius]

Life (time) saving info!

[@TheOriginalElkstone]

Could you relog to reset the serpent aggro if it's based on you seeing them?

[@arsemodeus]

What an absolute legend!

[@NickRawcliffe]

Thanks bud

[@netgirljimi3225]

Thanks for this :)

[@NickRawcliffe]

You’re very welcome.

[@matthewmegenity8598]

i cant get the rested buff while enemys are nearby so idk how you got the buff in that 1x1 house with the wyverns outside

[@neoholmes6976]

This was great.

[@NickRawcliffe]

thanks!

[@fiasworkshop]

great video boss

[@NickRawcliffe]

Thanks bud

[@TetrahydrocannabissaurusRex]

Incredible!

[@NickRawcliffe]

Ty ❤️

[@guest578]

Did anyone know that it's possible to gain rested buff from forge? While having it open it serves as a source of fire.

[@paulsullivan649]

I will never step foot into a Crypt again once I can just harvest iron gates. Bravo.

[@NickRawcliffe]

😂 happy to help. Thanks for watching.

[@marcoslourenco8496]

Have a way to take silver without a luke bone?

[@Xeanthorn]

I like this video and find this content engaging.

[@NickRawcliffe]

😂 always with the algo comments. I appreciate this comment and find it engaging.

[@Xeanthorn]

@@NickRawcliffe I feel like anyone who is already here reading my comment is in the know already. So I need to aim my comments at the damn algo until it wises up and sends all the viewers. If you stream it, they will come.

[@BlackBitsBananas]

I appreciate this video

[@NickRawcliffe]

I’m glad. You’re very welcome

[@AntonsVoice]

How many of these are still useful for normal play?

[@MrHQQX]

Great vid, but the music could be bit quieter

[@Terrraaah]

Could wearing the clothing sold by Hildir save more time from stamina? Granted you’d have to find her in the first place, so that needs good rng

[@SALT_KING]

Thank you

[@NickRawcliffe]

You’re welcome

[@charon7320]

is there a speedrun with zero abuse that doesnt brake game immersion? as in this case u can just take the seed and godmode clip thru and explore all map, mark and then start the speed run/glitch run with all the info, which again brakes immersion.

[@frodobob2526]

My bow broke before I could get moder half health dunno how you did it plus ran out of arrows lol

[@ArtistDylan]

Avoiding the sea serpent, what if you look straight up?

[@Simon-nv5zj]

bonemass i found to be the hardest boss fight out of the 5 original

[@TeiTheRat]

What about citadel clip/sealbreaker skip?

[@NorthernChev]

How many of these Boss fight techniques have been patched by the Devs recently? Or are they all still as shown? Specifically, I'm asking about Bonemass.

[@NickRawcliffe]

All still work

[@L3ver]

@@NickRawcliffe After Ashlands also?

[@darthbinks5987]

Actual trench warfare footage

[@emilnilsson8208]

nice

[@kevingallegos9466]

Excavator works for unequipping tools instantly too.

[@NickRawcliffe]

Waste of time making that in a run though

[@eugenesis8188]

Jfc, i havent fought bonemass yet, but the fact that this is the speedrun strat makes me nervous.

[@kevingallegos9466]

I thought the dwarves still aggro if you directly break anything even after the ward was broke

[@NickRawcliffe]

Nope.

[@BradLancaster86]

Elder, just go down a hill and fire up at him, he wont go down hills quickly. Fire arrows are pretty cheap to craft

[@AtlasRathbane4346]

A better title would've been campfire strats 😂😂😂

[@mikew2893]

On the spectrum speed run.

[@ELISA-cu2rc]

HERE IS A NEW SEED TO PLAY nooo THAT IS AGOOD SEED TO PLAYTHE QEEAN IS THREE ILANDS AWAY

[@OGWCWAIN]

The skipping intro came out a few days ago but I am assuming that was after you made this video.

[@NickRawcliffe]

Not true, it’s not out.

[@sethvicknair6537]

Valheim pvp servers are doomed 😭

[@MikeYm98875]

Why tf would people even want to speed run games I don't get it

[@slipperysteev]

Unpopular opinion: Speed runners and competetive gamers that jack the graphics/settings down for "best performance" are the kind of gamers (that exploit it on the internet) that ruin gaming for the peeps that appreciate taking it all in w/ a game.

[@DotAzam]

How are they ruining the game for people who"apreciate the game" when they dont force people to speedrun?

[@GRE3NT]

It‘s rather people like you ruining everything for everyone.

[@staxrelax4146]

you can t do speedrun in valheim

[@onelovedrumming]

How do you jump on a golems head while freezing to pick axe it? I guess to save time... at that point, just avoid em...

[@avr4h]

Music's way too loud.
