This session was recorded on 7 May 2024 on the Valheim Public Test Branch.
This series includes Glitchy and my genuine first reactions to entering the Ashlands without much knowledge at all! We were able to coordinate and play on the FIRST day of the Public Test Branch’s release so take that with its own grain of salt. It is not part of any other playthrough and is a standalone on a new world I created to help us quickly get ready and play with some Ashlands stuff, since we didn’t have a good playthrough ready to join up and adventure in together! This is a series that Glitchy and I both recorded and made separate videos for our respective channels. Watch one or both videos if you want to see Glitchy’s perspective.

Yep, could not come to terms with the ridiculous knockback value in the mace, BUT, the Dundr, THE DUNDR! Knockback approved, time to reload and say hello to my little friend again!

[@Veklim]

Just love it when you hit your stride for the first time in a new biome and the whole game just opens up again.

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

It really does open up once you get the new toys!

[@MSeroga]

Brings antifire potions to a place filled with fire… and doesn’t use them. 😂😂

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

To be fair they're very rarely necessary. Buuuut they come in handy on occasion! I just dropped them off for a while since I didn't find them useful at all. Then suddenly they're useful.

[@MSeroga]

@@WafflesGamesProbablyI found it useful when fighting the Valk since it does pretty strong fire damage.

[@MSeroga]

The fire is an insta kill on the difficulty I was on so I was kinda surprised that it only did like 60 damage or something to you.

[@sailorgunsveteran5260]

OMG really! 20 seconds in "I love me a good hog" PHRASING!! LOL This whole episode was hilarious witty and fun. Thanks.

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

Always ;)

[@mikeriley2475]

8:50 if you take off your cape you can see ALL of the spoons attached to your armor :P

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

SPOONS! Hah!

[@devilmaycry2283]

The Morgan appears and I’m over here screaming “Glitchy, use the Dundr!” Morgen are weak to thunder.

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

It's so satisfying!

[@RaysTwoPence]

Lol, glitchy reminiscing in front of the build of shame 😂 😊.

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

Hahaha

[@RaysTwoPence]

@WafflesGamesProbably do you have a way for people to share screenshot or short videos of their builds / ideas . As I currently am working on a build that I think would make a great video not seen a build idea like it and think it could generate veiwa . But sadly I'm not able to do anything with it 😕

[@RaysTwoPence]

I converted a fortress into a xp farm by mining under the spawners. I mined out around the center . Leaving 1 corner up for living space creating a area for fighting opposite the spawners with line of sight . .

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

That makes sense! Sounds really smart!!

[@GUNNER67akaKelt]

Lure mobs away from the fiddleheads (and other plants) as they will be destroyed during combat. That way you can keep harvesting them as they respawn. When using the fireball staff, aim at the ground at your target's feet (except flying) that way if it's a near miss, it'll still take splash damage instead of missing completely.

[@JustinWright-q3r]

haha i love the sound effects glitchy makes. "hey can we get some shields?" sure - BLOOP

[@arthanor9631]

This episode highlights my two remaining issues with the ashlands: - inventory management. I've gone back to carrying regular portal mats. If I need metals, I dial my "Metals" portal, bring them, and then I can also build a stone away portal. Since that only happens if I mine or siege, it's uncommon enough I don't need the stone portal all the time. But the variety of enemy drops, the amount of stone and wood dropping, it fills your bag in no time. And for some reason I can barely let myself leave stuff on the ground. - length of day. With how dangerous the ashlands are, you kinda want to sleep, but then it feels like you're going back all the time, especially with the inventory issues.. Otherwise, ashlands is fire! And this episode was too! Berserker axes definitely make the skill relevant now! Love to pounce then quick kill stunned ennemies.

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

It really is absolutely obscene how many drops there are. Especially grausten!

[@hiperboreo10101]

Putrid hole jokes are the best, hahaha. Or it just we're above 30 yo.

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

Oh no they're definitely the best! I promise I'll never fully grow up

[@SudsyOnethrufive]

I love how the trees really bend in the wind during storms!

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

Do they??!

[@SudsyOnethrufive]

Around 42:01 yeah

[@frankh.8224]

I want to see you and Glitchy both riding those dog things across the lava together 😂Not sure it can be done, but I saw a dog standing in the lava. 🤔

[@Veklim]

Oh it CAN be done!

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

YES!! We definitely will have to make that happen!

[@Chief_lung]

Really loving these linger episodes 🤙🏼

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

I'm glad!! This series will stay at least 45 mins so we can play more and progress more!

[@MS-pk2se]

it's tough to find any mage content in ashlands. keep that eitr up! ;)

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

Roger that! I've been having a blast being a mage in my server on Very Hard!

[@arslanchillig500]

its crazy how much dmg the new weapons deal compared to the other videos it is really game changing

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

Oh yeah once you get the Ashlands tier gear, the game really changes and it becomes possible!

[@t7j]

What's taters, precious? What's taters, eh? Po-tay-toes*! Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a *stew*! Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a *stew*! Every time I see LotR now, I hear this meme song from 13 years ago, so that and some other scenes, like the Legolas song. They're taking the hobbits to Isengard.

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

It's such an old one but it's stuck in my brain forever.

[@t7j]

@@WafflesGamesProbably Hahaha same. Have you seen the one with Frode in the bed and everybody is coming in? Thinking about it is making me laugh.

[@SeanSquatchPNW]

Entertaining as always, good job lads.

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

Thanks!

[@walturwhit]

In terms of looks, the bezerkir axes with the carapce armor looks SOOOO sick... 0:36

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

LOVE the look!

[@UunoPulkkis]

hello wafs! its been quite a long time since ive seen your videos and i will tell you why (nobody asked but im going to tell) i was in a bike accident and broke my hand and leg, so i had to be hospitalized for three weeks because they were pretty critical. but now that im back (not that it makes a difference) im happy (got a lot to catch up on...) edit. im also happy to see your channel has grown much!:)

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

Well hey! I'm glad you're okay! And welcome back! I appreciate it!

[@MrSageOlorin]

6:24 Great place for a "My name Jeff" meme. LMAO!

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

DAMN! Missed opportunity!

[@jaygray91]

49:27 perchance you're in the flashlight rabbit hole, waffles? idk how it is over there, but jetbeam isn't a household name in my country. and it's definitely a hobbyist brand from what I know.

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

I most certainly am! Recently got myself an Olight Arkfeld. The orange one of course. Also a big pocket knife guy!

[@jaygray91]

@@WafflesGamesProbably my man 🤝

[@abhinavgupta3526]

i think the trollstav needs a slight rework because upgrading it does literally nothing other than add durability. Also i think staff of nature might be the best staff after its buffs

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

It's possible maybe the upgrades to the Trollstav provide more hitpoints to the troll but it's so hard to tell. If it really is just durability, then yeah definitely in need of rework. It should be clear what an upgrade does.

[@MSeroga]

Nature staff is so good when you know how to kite move into it properly. I’ve only played with it solo and can only imagine how good it can be if multiple people just spam it.

[@yagoa]

if you put a small wall against the fortress and cultivate you can plant vineberries and they spread

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

Sounds like a good spot

[@voron9074]

what a great show, exactly what I expected! Also, if you ever wondered of the name of the DUNDR, my best guess is that it comes from the ACDC Song "THUNDERstruck", when you listen to the intro where they shout THUNDER - it really feels like the DUNDR when you speak it out loud. Also, the sound effects from the weapon could really fit into this scheme... What are your thoughts on this?

[@cindyhoward3347]

In Old Norse languages D makes a Th sound

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

Heeyyy that's a great guess on the origin of Dundr!! DUNDR! Nahh nahahahahnahahananah!

@@WafflesGamesProbably when it's once in your head, IT won't leave anymore!

I'm having so much fun! You two make a great team

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

😊 im glad!

[@excancerpoik]

they should do something for the linen capes maybe a few percent movement speed or smt its such a shame that you never use them because all others are much better

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

Oh I absolutely agree! Movement speed buff or stamina regen buff. Something!

[@gigglingmaniacly7883]

storm is wild!

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

It's a BLAST

[@Mkable01]

My brother and I playing no map no portal very hard, it’s soooo worth it

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

GROSS! But that sounds like a good (but bad) time!

[@excancerpoik]

you should get the dyrnmyn in the next episode

[@WafflesGamesProbably]

It'll be a slow burn, that one!
