Seeker Dungeon Guide Valheim Mistlands Update

[@BlackCoyote66]

Like the professional section title transitions. Never thought of using ooze bombs, awesome idea. Bile bombs would be bad, as they would destroy the wall, too. But I never saw you using the spear, but I can kinda see it situationally.

[@AkoSimeowmeow]

Also, I've found while still farming my gear, the iron hammer came in very handy, you can even hit enemies through walls and just wail on them from the other side and they can't hit you.

[@Graybeard_]

I have found that sailing around the larger mistlands islands, I can always find dungeons that are not in the mist. This has two advantages, one obviously being no mist, but also having my boat close by. Once I find the dungeon, I park near by but far enough away that my boat doesn't get attacked. In the boat I keep extral arrows and ooze bombs. I find that the mistlands shores being rocky have a habit of bashing my boat, so I park it far enough away that it doesn't hit the rocks, but close enough for an easy swim. I then clear the outside and grab any yggdrasil wood and magecaps.

[@Bullminator]

Note -- 2h hammer (stag, iron and demolisher) make dungeons a joke. So what you do is hide behid a wall where mobs cant see you (dont stand infront of vines) and then you just smash ground. This breakes AI and they will have a hard time getting to you (not to mention it saves bombs) New crossbow is also very good to take out flying seekers due to high penetration. It takes while to get used to it, but what you do is find a ground where you can walk on easy and simply move back when reloading and A D strafe for mobs to miss you at walk speed. Also, take 2 iron with you into mistlands so you can demolish buildings faster to get new stone and other materials (like lamps, jute, copper). If you destroy walls araund, game has some issue still with slowly demolishing building from air.

[@paulkocherhans608]

That issue with the buildings not crumbling is usually those massive wooden beams, they count as terrain, and you can't destroy them with the build hammer, so you have to shoot them, or smash them directly, but once you take those out, the buildings collapse like any other 👍

[@kitrozon4422]

Thanks for the info!

[@Edcognito]

I am so glad that there is finally a use for the Ooze bomb!

[@OlleHellman]

Thank you for this video. Helpfull!

[@oxycos]

Nice vid as always. Keep up the good work! Personally I use the atgir for special attacks through doors (stone and the "blocked wood entrance"). Kills off ticks and seekers like a dream :)

[@Shishakind86]

I don't know, even though I go through these dungeons like an absolute coward, I still died more often than with any other area in the game inlcuding Deathsquitos. Regardless of whether I used Frostner, Porcupine or Blackmetal Sword (all maxed), it still took so long to kill even one of them and unfortunately you get swarmed so easily because of it. I can't tell you how often I got instakilled while in fight because a 1star seeker came from behind with an aerial attack or how often I had to run out, back in and cheese at the entrance. As soon as you have your cores and therefore new weapons, it becomes much easier but oh man up until that point, the mistlands handed me my a** on a daily basis. It's like the devs thought "hey, we can't have our players have all skills maxed anymore so let's make them die A LOT more" :D

[@berenedain8427]

I find an effective strategy is to scream the whole way

[@mitmon_8538]

Where was the 1 or 2 star Seeker Soldier? XD First Mine we found had a 2 star soldier in it. Great introduction to the biome for us. Thanks for the guide. I've been stockpiling Ooze to make bombs like I never have before.

[@FishRepair]

Gezz I passed out during the stream and I wake up to this. Sweet

[@chowjappa6470]

Instead of ooze bombs use an iron hammer or later devastator to open door ways and clear eggs

[@datuputi777]

Dont they break the doors the idea is to kill them without breaking the door.

[@LandonTucker1]

"He's stuck and we're gonna take advantage of that" (⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)

[@Pimpemon]

I went into ML with a black metal round shield but switched to the black metal tower shield for a while because I was getting tired of the seeker soldiers knock back when blocking and losing out on a parry combo trying to run back up to them. Once I was able to make a Carapice shield i switched to that because the tower shield having no parry and being to slow on movement speed even with 100 run stat was becoming even more annoying than what had made me switch to it in the first place.

[@paulkocherhans608]

Sorry not related to video topic, I've been using an auto farm with bow skeletons and a greydwarf spawner (basically build a hit to rest in, make sure you only have a fire to prevent raids) Dig pit around spawner, make sure you build something to prevent skellies from having line of sight to the spawner itself, and have the skellies above the pit It's very nearly afk-able, every once in awhile a skelly dies to thrown rocks, or gets pushed in, but it's an idea for a farming tutorial if you want to make one, gets you wood and stone (as all greydwarf farms do) but this also gets you blood magic fairly quickly, I took my skill from 22-47 in the space of a few hours AFK

[@name-ie9qo]

Nice tips with the noise making to attract them and maximize ooze bombs

[@pgodwyn2987]

Anyone else annoyed over carpets not stacking I've lost a whole six minutes of comfort and now I'm back to running back and forth just to keep my buff thus reducing the distance I can travel and time I can effectively do anything 😡

[@tisjester]

Oh no.. It is the greatest thing, don't ya know.. Now everything can just take longer and the game can feel like a grindier grind. You can take all those extra carpets and place them out front of your Ballista's so you have someplace comfortable to DIE. I mean if you really think about it they did us all a favor! (Sarcasm in case you did not get it lol)

[@Count_Gustav]

I could get 23 comfort level before current update, now its just 18.

[@AkoSimeowmeow]

A minor inconvenience for me, but since I've gotten used to hauling around mats for a portal and bench before the update, I don't notice it really.

[@wyahtt3759]

Yah carpet change is very lame

[@adamking4246]

Man, you make it look easy. I had nice stats but now they are so low due to repeat dying from just exploring. So far I only been in the Mistlands around the Boss so maybe it's harder, it's just Mobs everywhere. Recently got attacked by 2 Ggall at the same time. I've being using Krom, strong but seems too slow and really lowers you're Stamina fast. Just tried the Black Atgeir for the first time and that seems to do best, even though my Stats for it are so low.

[@AzureRook]

Fought a group of seekers for the first time, throwing spears is a great strategy; especially when blocking w/ the tower shield can put distance between you

[@pgodwyn2987]

Will Def give this a try thx for tips as always

[@peejinator]

"I'm just going to ooze bomb" probably should've been the title lol.

[@chrisb.7196]

Thanks, that helped a lot. Since I don't want to loose all my bow stats (75 atm) when I die, I will try this. I would try it the harder way if there wasn't the skill drain when you die.

[@inspectorsteve2287]

Your must lands seems so much more visible than mine. In order for me to see over the mist I have to get super high on the rocks the rocks have white stuff on them. I'm assuming snow. And I can only see the tips of rocks. You had a ton of stuff visible.

[@YaboiDeep]

Yo if ur running in with this armor set DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PARRY A 2 STAR SEEKER..

[@keanyang]

Cool guide

[@sertandoom4693]

first thing I did on clearing the outside of the dungeon entrance- place a crafting table , clear the inside, place a crafting table- no more respawns. Now If I can find out where a certain annoying Gjarl respawns ... Inside of the dungeon went easier than the outside- slow and cautious all the way, aoe through walls when possible, range on mobs that have trouble pathing, making mobs have difficulties pathing.

[@pedrurr]

too late, I had to learn all this alone :( but the ooze bomb is a great idea, I will definitely use them in the future thanks man

[@johnp3103]

I'm here because I have two corpses in the first infested mine I ever tried... with all my best stuff in their tombstones! 😢 Looks like I'm crafta stack of ooze bombs! 😂

[@cancheluk]

Excellent walkthrough of an excellent game with excellent characters and a wonderful story👍👍💯💯

[@KaylaJadeC]

Never used ooze bombs before. Was trying to shoot through gaps in vines then ran away screaming when they accidentally broke instead

[@JCassar]

I didn't see any notes about looking up - there are eggs on the ceilings, so the seekers can still spawn behind you if they hatch after you move to another room

[@jamesbarreiro2026]

Don't forget the 10 wood to make a workbench, or you're screwed when you go to make the portal ...

[@ChadBro1985]

I was wondering that. Is there no farmable wood in mistlands?

[@Shishakind86]

There is wood everywhere so it's rather a small inconvenience than an actual problem.

[@kazumablackwing4270]

@@Shishakind86 exactly...and besides, the few extra pieces of yggdrasil wood you get will come in handy later.

[@prototypesend7075]

Just parry with any non-tower shield (unless carapace) and use porcupine

[@Arkalius80]

Frostner is good because seekers aren't resistant to frost and the slowing effect can be useful. Plus, less stamina per swing.

[@blueDrgon1]

Harpoon and 2hand hammer best weapons for dungeon if you want to cheese it

[@reneszeywerth8352]

Don't forget to equip bonemass in case s*** hits the fan...

[@kazumablackwing4270]

Not even just if SHTF... Bonemass should be the one you have equipped in general. Even after the queen, it's still the best all-around boss power

[@Firespark81]

Very good point I should have put that in the video

[@sirhunter7623]

Personally, I use Yagluth for when I meet Gjalls, but I consider switching to Bonemass

[@reneszeywerth8352]

@@sirhunter7623 For Gjalls I take some fire resistance potions with me. Yagluth might come in really handy if you fight multiple mages or 1/2 star mages -though I haven't been in that situation yet. Otherwise Bonemass still rules.

Found this late but confirmed that I am doing it right lol.

[@Skatemonster]

Can’t believe the developers increase the use of Eitr on the fire staff. Smh.

[@brandontwohawks]

Great guide t y

[@enhancedcalm]

sadly with only 2 upgrade levels, plains gear is about on par with mistland gear. They really need to fix that, asap.

[@datuputi777]

The 2 handed sword has highest base stats so far can't wait for it to hit 160+ damage(though I wish it was 180 or even 200 when maxed out) My guess is fire or frost lands or both will complete them my guess is the sword will be completed with Ashlands and 2 handed hammer on deepnorth. Sadly that be years.

[@Bullminator]

The only danger are 1-2 star seekers -- DO NOT TANK HITS FROM THOSE ... hit and run.

[@Neuralatrophy]

So if there's seekers there's always a dungeon nearby ?

[@PotatoePC]

no. but the dungeons are patrolled by the seekers. Seekers show up everywhere. I never used ooze bombs before but they are really a must for this. 2 ooze bombs can kill a normal seeker.

I sure do not consider it cheating. Unless you think that every military in the world that trains for combat in the exact same way is cheating?

[@chrismoulins7843]

Not a fan of this patch personally. Look how much gimmick non-sense you have to employ to survive (at least pre-patch). I don't feel like an epic voyaging viking anymore

[@brandonescobar1416]

You really don't need to do this to clear it. you CAN if you are just not good at the game which is fine. I just took my time, timed parry's well, and used bonemass when I ran into 2 stars. I personally liked the difficulty as it made you not just run willy nilly into the biome.

[@coheedmorris]

Super bumbed that they changed the seeker AI. Haven't tried the latest version yet, but if they act like Fulings, that's just annoying.
