Time To Fight Our First Boss! (Valheim Ashlands)

[@jaydalonas6569]

Great job on the Eikthyr kill. The boss buffs last 5 mins and the cooldown for use is 20 mins, so it's worth saving the Eikthyr buff for when you need it, like running away from Trolls 😉 The Towers in the Black Forest are great for taking over and using as outposts - you can even flatten some ground around them and enclose them with defensive walls, you can then smelt your metals there to save time. Since you now have found Core Wood from Pine Trees, this is much stronger than normal wood, so it can help with structural support when building higher (or in water for docks) and it also makes wood stakes which can help with defence around your base. Please note though that the stakes will injure you as well if you run into them. Check the furniture tab in building, you can now make a sitting log, that and a Deer Rug in your base will extend the time of your rested buff (don't forget this buff as it gives you the quicker stam and health regen). Fun episode to watch.

Excellent series! Two tips: ALWAYS make sure you have your rested buff and always make sure you eat your food! As you advance there will be mobs that can one-shot you if you don't eat. Also, mobs can hear you making noise within a certain radius and certain activities make more noise, like using the pickaxe and combat. Fire arrows are good for greydwarves too! You also have 2 more antlers and can make 2 more pickaxes so you can mine longer and not have to repair so much.

I always forget to eat in the game 😂 it's got me killed a couple of times lol.

Great find (the tower), the rule about the fire is, smoke leaves via 3-4 building blocks of space, and the fire goes out (in rainy/stormy weather) if not protected by a roof. Oh, and those blue berries are now a little better than your raspberries ;). Keep exploring and make use of every little thing you find, it WILL make you stronger ;)

[@Kills4ThrillsGaming]

Yeah that tower was a really good find. It's becoming a good outpost with everything I need there at the moment.

Kills, a quick tip, if you want a workbench out in the wilderness, pop one down next to a tree then build a small roof piece and attach it to the tree, sheltering the workbench! Use surtling cores to build a charcoal kiln, you need one to smelt ore! Later you can use surtling cores to build portals, which allow you to travel back to your base, however you'll need a boat to bring back ores! More tips to follow as you progress! 😁😁

[@Kills4ThrillsGaming]

I didn't know that you can attach stuff to trees. I unlocked the portals last night on stream so I will be setting them up ASAP.

[@RockSuitJacket]

Enjoying this series quite a bit! Might I suggest making the charcoal kiln first and get a whole lot of coal. If you only have enough cores for a kiln or a furnace not both, just make a bunch of coal first, then tear the kiln down to get the cores back and make the smelter.

[@Kills4ThrillsGaming]

I wasn't sure if I got all the stuff back when taking something down again.

[@aussmith5335]

King of the Castle, I was expecting the copper to collapse and flatten you 🤣🤣👍

[@Kills4ThrillsGaming]

That copper took a crazy amount of time to dig out 😂

[@mattdoombekadamon]

GG good fight! Now on to the Black Forest!!

[@mattcoker1330]

man is missin out on the music for his first boss kill. really adds a whole new element to it.

[@RoninTX3377]

I was hoping you wouldn't find out about the digging. I knew you'd go all dwarvish on us. Then we'd see an Enshrouded repeat.

[@Kills4ThrillsGaming]

Haha, it's OK I'm not going to live in a mountain again. I'm going to build on top of one.

[@mifrick]

It's fun watching you have such a great time in this game! It makes me want to revisit it myself. So many games, so little time... lol

[@Kills4ThrillsGaming]

I know that feeling. I've got so many games I want to play but I don't have the time to play them all haha.

[@TruthSeeker-rn1tm]

Loving this series Kills 👍

[@badworm1921]

woohoo boss fight time

[@Alphameiz]

I’m enjoying the series very much. So much in fact I didn’t pay attention to the fact that my house was on fire. ingame house lol

[@Kills4ThrillsGaming]

😂🤣 Your house can be set on fire?

[@Alphameiz]

@@Kills4ThrillsGaming It’s a function in the settings you can turn on or off.

[@delbertwilkins213]

Floor pieces don't count as roof pieces when it comes to covering workbenches

[@Kills4ThrillsGaming]

This is good to know. Explains why the stuff wasn't working in the tower.

[@TC_HAKAN]

you should play with music sound on really recommend

[@Kills4ThrillsGaming]

Yeah I've heard the music in the game is really good. The reason why I turn it off is because sometimes youtube likes to copyright the video because of the music. It also makes it a lot easier to edit with no extra music in the background.
