Is it a complicated as Gportal? Because I been wanting to host my own server for years now and I’m just a mere simpleton when it comes to data~files so, An Gportal was a bit confusing, even after watching a bunch of “how to” videos, I still couldn’t figure it out. What’s crazy my friends won’t even help me, they’re answers are always, “idk, maybe you should watch a KZbin video”… Bruh, what?! Mfs know this sht and they give me a soft “No” to my plea for aid?! 🤣

So I have been finding out some mistakes/things I got wrong and want to highlight them, plus some things have been revised in the PTB. Like this up to the top! 1. Morgens spawn in Putrid holes (my server must have been bugged as this never happened for me but have since confirmed to be true) 2. Bonemaw Serpents do not drop scales 3. ASK Armor has received a great set bonus 4. Embla Set now gives MORE eitr regeneration Comment below if I got anything else wrong/missed anything!

[@itsssnek810]

"Morgens spawn in Putrid holes (my server must have been bugged as this never happened for me but have since confirmed to be true)" They emerge from the ground in the Putrid Holes. The caves them selves server as Troll Dens, but unlike Troll Dens. Morgens dont spawn in them right away they emerge out of the ground after a few seconds. They make it seem like a safe haven at first, but after a couple seconds the Morgen emerages and crushes that hope for safety

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

I also Lied about the new hair/beards lol. I thought they were new but they are not

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

@@itsssnek810 yeah they sure do! I realizes my mistake. When filming for the video I was walking around in 'ghost' mode a lot of the time causing me not to trigger their spawn. Im a doofus

This biome makes Mistlands look like a walk in the park. Looks to be a very hostile place as expected. Placing the bar really high for the Deep North. No pressure Iron Gate ;)

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

[@BrimstoneMwG]

@@SpazzyjonesGaming TBH I hope they keep the pace the same in the deep north... I am just getting into ashlands and I am enjoying it but the spawn rates are obnoxious. I don't want them to try to "out due" the deep north because I don't want to have to deal with even more constant spawns...

My guy thank you! I'll be doing all kinds of ashlands videos soon so I'll add that to the list!

[@AdamKellar]

Thanks for putting this together! Your video and presentation was excellent. I'm bummed to see no new knife or polearm though :(

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

Thanks so much! glad you enjoyed it. Im bummed too. polearms in particular are my fav weapon class. However, for daggers i encourage you to try the dual-handed axes! very dagger-like

[@AdamKellar]

@@SpazzyjonesGaming I still remember the first time I used the atgeir, being a fan of polearms in other games too . I love this thing!! I know someone that was just using it for gardening 🤣 The dual wield axes might be nice but I like knife + shield a lot for parry + backstab bonuses. Also bummed that the light armor set has no bonuses yet. I hope they make some tweaks.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

@@AdamKellar its so weird the light armor has no set bonus. super strange

[@msarilyn7677]

Well, like the Leviathan the flametal ore colums will likely come back in the same spot after some time has passed so you can mine them again.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

I didn't think leviathans ever respawned. That was my understanding. I could be wrong though. However they did patch the amount of time you have to mine them before they submerge

Ashlands is going to be a tough biome to beat and I thought the Mistlands was more harder.

Oh yeah, I can't imagine tackling it alone. Definitely will need friends

[@karinlane1869]

Pls tell me I don't have to start the game over again if I've only gone as far as preYagluth on the the Plains in order to get this new biome.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

You're probably fine. if you haven't explored/built on the south of the map you're probably fine. That said, you can read the developers guide here for more info: valheim.com/support/getting-ready-for-the-ashlands

[@Pinklizzard101]

Spazzy, amazing content as always *the right bottom corner*

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

my man! appreciate you!

[@nipuniilur5460]

I think they could have made it a little bit better by making it so that you can combine The elemental Stones with armor to give The armor a resistance against a certain damage type

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

that would have been awesome!

[@Blakkrazor69]

It is SO dangerous compared to any of the other biomes. Combat draws the attention of more enemies constantly and the respawn time is ludicrously fast and having to carry; Full gear, Stamina & Health Meads, Fire Resist Wine, 2 Stacks of Arrows I can't keep up with materials/gathering and am running in circles constantly returning to my basecamp to empty my pockets only to have to fight through masses to get to where I had to leave materials on the ground and repeat the process.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

totally agree. What do you think of the difficulty? Think its too much? I think im absolutely going to have to play with friends. Solo might be impossible!

[@Blakkrazor69]

@@SpazzyjonesGaming I'm struggling to play it solo. Definitely thinking this is the beginning of the end for Solo play for best gains.

@@Blakkrazor69 you might be right man. ITS VERY hard solo

[@ringofasho7721]

Im a solo player and o find it realllly tough. But then again i thought mistlands was pretty tough too because i couldnt see anything. Im happier with ashlands than i was with mist though. I feel like the devs went in the wrong direction with mistlands, because i liked their early concept art better. It was more like a creepy magical misty meadows

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

@@ringofasho7721 totally fair. Ashlands is super tough. part of me has found it easier solo so far. maybe cause my friends suck :p

[@m.imsure6966]

is there anything to upgrade comfort?

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

Yes but only one item improves over existing items and that is the Lava Lamp! No other item allows you to increase your max comfort beyond what is possible with mistlands tier furniture

[@MrSageOlorin]

I don't think the bonemaw serpents drop scales. Just meat, teeth, and sometimes, a trophy.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

You might be right. Weird thing is that its a item that exists (i spawned it using devcommands) but maybe its not currently active. I included it because of its existance and just assumed I was getting unlucky not having it drop or something. Regardless, thanks for putting this out! I expect there to be a couple mistakes in here as I compiled it pretty quickly and in isolation.

[@MrSageOlorin]

@@SpazzyjonesGaming I mean, I could be wrong, but I've killed 3 so far, and not a scale to be seen. That being said, I haven't been able to drag one onto shore yet. ( I always run outta stamina first).

Thanks for the nice Video! I got one question though! I played Valheim with my two of my friends and some days ago we were finally able to kill the last boss. Will we have to start over with this new Update?

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

As long as you haven't build/explored a lot near the south of the map you should be fine. But, I encourage you to read this from the developers themselves on this exact question: valheim.com/support/getting-ready-for-the-ashlands

[@Mathemusician97]

The new weapons look sick! The idea of upgrading the weapons with gemstones to give them different functionalities is really interesting. I can’t wait for it to be fully released!

[@beowulf2146]

Wat about hairstyles and beards any word on if we’re getting anything new?

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

Good question, I didn't check that actually. I'll see what I can find out today

[@mtbman2479]

Do the new crops have to be farmed in the ashlands biome?

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

I'm not certain about this but I did try to plant the vines and it wouldn't let me saying it was too hot. I still need to dive deeper into the farming

[@itsssnek810]

Nope. Fiddleheads cant be planted. But they can obtained in high enough quantities; and the Vineberry Clusters. ONly requirement is its grown against a wall. BUt you can grow them in the Meadows

[@kuderedev9108]

Im actually kinda disappointed in those minerals in lava lakes. They are cool, like really cool, but why they need to just disappear, yeah yeah greed test, but it would be cool if damaged flame metal node would rise once more and can be mined for some time, you still won't grab everything due to inventory capacity, but at least it would be less frustrating as like hit it 2 times and it's gone

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

I can appreciate that. I know with the leviathan when you log out and log back in that stops the timer of the leviathan despawning. This may also work for the flametal desposits

[@ogulcandursun1665]

why did they abonden daggers though i really liked dagger stealth style.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

i think the dual-wielded axes are the spiritual daggers for this biome

[@AmrothEldarion]

Great video mate :) I'd just like to point out; plural of "staff" is staves.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

Thanks! Not a word in my vocabulary very often haha

[@AmrothEldarion]

@@SpazzyjonesGaming It's one of the more complicated words in English with convoluted rules 😅 If you're talking about workers in a hotel, you might say "staff", even if it's plural. But when you talk about the workers of multiple hotels, you might say "staffs". When you're talking about plural "staff" in music, or magic sticks in this case, you'd say "staves" (pronunciation: stay:vz)

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

@@AmrothEldarion my goodness I didn't think about it that far. English is wack haha

[@excancerpoik]

So is there only one of the fire swords per world?

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

Im not 100% sure but it definitely does seem like the case. In my experience the 3 mysterious locations spread across the entire ashlands biome so I doubt there are more than 3 to find. However, perhaps if I were playing with more players they would drop more of the fragments but I honestly do doubt it

[@excancerpoik]

@@SpazzyjonesGaming Is it possible to resummon the boss then?

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

@@excancerpoik the main boss yes, the mini-boss I don't believe so

I wouldn't be surprised if it's like the other mini-bosses where after you beat them they start raiding your base.

@@TheEvilDev Maybe so. The patches notes mentioned two new raids and one witht he mini-boss wasn't included but who knows!

Ashland has to be nerfed during fight u get stuck on ledges multiple times if one thing spawns then vulture and much more spawn and book ur dead there is 2 star mob I guess with a sword I tied to parry but he gave me a damage of 200 that's insane man it needs to be nerfed that's too much

Funny story… no cheats, no glitches, etc. It’s possible to get to ashlands without crafting the new boat. I made it to the shore

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

ive heard of people pulling that off!

[@jakexydome1114]

@ I don’t recommend trying it with your best armor and loot, but since you’re able to build on the spikes what I did was I used iron longboat to sail to the closest spike and then placed a workbench, then built a small box with a portal. From there I had full fenris gear for the movement, feather cape for slow fall, and that new jump boost mead thingy for the extra jump boost. Once all that is equipped I would jump from spike to spike, and if I ever felt nervous like I wouldn’t make it I would stop and build another portal for safety. 5 portals later and I made it to shore. I don’t know what other people do, my plan requires a ton of wood and stuff for portals, but then again at this point I’m just happy I didn’t lose my fenris gear and feather cape

You can spawn in a sword or hammer that kills shit on one hit. Fuck it. No law against it, have fun however you like, and enjoy the new content.
