Valheim Mistlands: Building the MOST BEAUTIFUL Village

[@nickkim5369]

I just got into valheim and it’s crazy to me how there’s a game with a whole community just for building. How have I not heard of this game it’s so underrated and fun!

[@smittysurvival]

This game is an absolute gem 👌🏻 amazing what a small indie studio has put together! Welcome to the Valheim community - enjoy!

"What's up Gjall"

[@jookm]

He probably has raids turned off. Other than that, you can still have border protection from Gjalls. I was able to position a Ballista at 3 corners in my game on very tall rocks. With black metal missiles, they kill Gjalls faster than they die.

[@Swagnar666]

The practice of Seiza is not specifically about sitting on the floor, but sitting on folded legs. The practice is done deliberately to numb the legs and was started as a practice amongst the Shogun's court, in order to make the people near the Shogun less ready to attack, as a form of submission, and to prevent attempted assassinations.

[@jazie1120]

I'm Asian and this is the most breathtaking build I have ever seen. This is such amazing work that makes me want to build one myself! I love all the Japanese/ Chinese references that you researched on and that circular bridge... I never thought it's possible in valheim and you built one perfectly. Please build more!

[@kforce9139]

After 800 hours in Valheim, I realized what is so great about it is that it truly rewards the player for their Vision. You clearly have the vision and talent to realize it in your builds, thereby inspiring others. That's what its all about. Hats off to you

[@smittysurvival]

Valheim is what I consider the “Goldilocks Zone” for building. Enough of a system to still be intuitive, but the system doesn’t demand you stick to a strict blueprint, and still lets creativity flourish… sooo good! Thanks for the compliment though! Appreciate the support!

[@leagueofcomediansloc8242]

This is the most amazing build, i have ever seen in KZbin for Valheim. This is like straight out of a movie. I dont have the imagination to build something like that myself in Valheim, but it is always such a pleasure to see you build!

[@smittysurvival]

Wow thank you! Lots of time and effort went into this one so I appreciate this comment immensely! ❤️

[@champion1388]

i use to think the same thing but sometimes you just need a little push so i suggest picking the type of building you want and just look up different styles eventually your brain will adapt and you will come up with other styles maybe combining two different ones

[@Eckebrecht]

Hey Smitty, your build is very beautiful and harmonic. The circular bridge is also called a moon bridge or 'sori-bashi' and I absolutely love that style.

[@smittysurvival]

Ooohh thank you for letting me know! “Moon Bridge” sounds epic! Such a cool style I love it too!

[@dnro]

Its also known as 月桥 in Chinese, and can be found throughout East Asian architecture mainly in big gardens. Its really pleasing to look at - more so at night when the garden is dimly-lit, making for a serene and romantic atmosphere.

[@saharshluthra6492]

This is legit the most beautiful build I've ever seen in Valheim. The grand view as well as the attention to detail is absolutely amazing. I'm so so happy I found your channel Smitty. Your creativity and potential is truly one of a kind. Thank you for sharing it with us :)

[@smittysurvival]

Oh wow! Thank you so much for this wonderful comment! I’m so happy you found my channel too :) hearing your appreciation for what I do makes my day! Appreciate all the support!

[@iNotsuoh]

that bridge made the entire video. that's really hard to do and it turned out fantastic. well done mate.

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! Glad you liked it and appreciate the support!

[@DutchCassidy1]

The first big bridge is the perfect example of why this game is the best building game in my opinion. Amazing build btw !

[@smittysurvival]

100% agree. I’ve always considered Valheim the “Goldilocks Zone” of building in games. Enough system/structure to be intuitive, but at the same time not limit your freedom, and let your creativity flow! I love it!

[@RivetHead999]

Need more mist builds. This was fantastic! I think that the mists have so much potential for so many styles.

[@smittysurvival]

Totally agree! If it wasn’t so dangerous we’d definitely see more!

[@RivetHead999]

@@smittysurvival for aesthetic purposes, new update you can turn off raids and make all enemies passive, so you’ll be able to build and not worry about your stuff being destroyed. Either way, can’t wait to see more.

[@powmeow5456]

the most beatiful valheim build i've ever seen.. and i've seen a lot :D

[@lucasknevitz]

The first video I saw, I was like "another guy doing some random stuff in valheim" and I keep watching and can't stop watching, the landscape and the buildings in this video, everything match up perfectly. Amazing job!

[@zacharytyler543]

Yt needs to implement super likes or something because this is just... *chefs kiss* Smitty, I had this thought while i was watching a MC builder but my biggest let down with some builders is that they dont give their builds feelings of WHY the here, what is this bridge used for rather then just "bridge because it looks good" Everything you put in this build had a reason or a lore centric relation and i adore that! this is a masterpiece and im stoked I found something to binge today. Much love! *edit* : AND THE FACT YOU TEACH US STUFF AS YOU BUILD makes this so much much much more enjoyable. You take history and give it relevance here plus teach us about it. God you are just amazing.

[@frytaxzi9433]

to be honest? my favourite build on entire youtube. Amazing job

[@Minecraft589]

I am so stunned. I love the open world of Valheim and that everything is randomly generated, but seeing this and all your other breathtaking videoes, a big part of me really wishes for a linear type game mode where one could explore all this on their own. You are truly amazing.

[@audreywinter6910]

This build is so stunningly beautiful! I like how you solved the roof peaks and gates, while not even using any rotation tool! Wonder what would happen if you did, it opens up even more building dimensions and in your hands, such a tool would probably become even more powerful. Really like all your tutorials and story builds and get excited each time I see a new video.

[@katieestep6058]

Ohhh the flat surtling trophies to look like a fire under the cauldron.... That's absolutely genius

[@smittysurvival]

Ohhh yeah… great decorative trick there 👌🏻

[@alextrnbl835]

Watching your builds makes me feel so inspired and relaxed. Ready to take on the day having watched this with my morning coffee.

[@smittysurvival]

Lovely! I’m glad I can jump start your day with some inspiration 💪🏻 appreciate the support!

[@flextho7134]

Brother Excellent work. You really pushed the envelope with that bridge. Truly a unique piece. This is easily my favorite Mistlands build to date. Well done!

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! Yes that bridge was actually a pain in the butt to figure out but sooo worth it! Appreciate you comment and support!

[@johnnieso]

Now thats what I called a really well thought thru a well balanced & skilled builder. Im a very harsh grader, & for so many valheim builds video/channel I've seen so far, this particular Video & the builds within definitely earned one of my top 5 builds.

[@smittysurvival]

Wow very high praise! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one!

[@ValfreyjaAndTheHarp]

This is my favourite build I've ever seen, and I watch a LOT of Valheim videos! Wow! This is really inspired.

[@Cooil1]

I get depressed when I log into my Valheim world and see that I don't possess the same magic that builders like you do.

[@kanetsugu21]

As a confident builder in this game with over 1400 logged on steam I don't think anything I've ever created can touch the work you've done. What you do is nothing short of art. I'm constantly in awe of what you create and am always inspired after watching one your build videos. Thanks for sharing your work!

[@30secondsofcringyjokes]

Breath taking build. It's never even occurred to me that a terrain can be transformed into this magnificent buildings. The best I could do is a rectangular shape with first floor.

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! Valheim really has quite the flexible build system! Allows for some really creative stuff! We all gotta start somewhere, keep working at it!

[@bamusalako]

how unbelievably creative and joyfull your build is, you builds seem so alive because youre bringing so much care and thought into your buildings looks really really beautiful

[@smittysurvival]

Thanks so much! Yes lots of time and consideration go into these projects. So many decisions to be made at every turn but this one turned out really nicely. Glad you liked it!

YES. Lovely video. Ever since finding your channel I've been looking forward to these build videos! Thanks for the upload

[@smittysurvival]

So glad to hear you’re enjoying to content! Appreciate the support and glad you found the channel 🙌🏻

[@lolboy-642]

each mini project is just incredible! they were different but were somehow cohesive. from the pagoda to training space to the temple. WOW

[@TheFartanSpartan]

Damn dude, those designs are epic! Sorry in advance for borrowing a few of those, lol. That bridge and the way you built that curve was really creative

[@ashleymerrill7142]

Gosh, the intro gave me such feels... it reminded me of the first time I arrived at the Jade Forest in WoW when it launched. Love your builds as usual, but damn, this one really is something else :) That pagoda was amazing and then the BRIDGE?

[@smittysurvival]

Haha so happy to hear you liked it! Definitely strong themes in this one. Really appreciate the support! 🙌🏻

[@CaeArcanix]

Having myself placed a number of Versaugh's mega-columns like you did in the main temple, I know the madness that comes with trying to line all that up with every little piece. As always, incredible work Smitty! You truly have the eye for making Valhaim's landscapes work to your advantage!

[@smittysurvival]

Yesss you know the pain! 😵‍💫 I was dreading getting to that part because I knew it was gonna take forever lol. Couldn’t resist though, they really make larger builds look great!

[@CaeArcanix]

@@smittysurvival The effect was all worth it!!

[@emeraldphoenix7499]

It's been fun watching you build. Thanks for the inspiration. :) Seiza refers to a specific type of "sitting" (aka zazen) in Japan done on bent knees, usually with a zafu (round cushion) or kneeling / seiza bench (very low, under the hips with knees bent around and feet behind). It's more typically used in monastic settings (zendo) for meditation sitting (shikantaza, etc). There are rituals for handling meals in between sitting sessions, but it's not used in informal non-ritual settings typically. It would be more common to sit on cushions with a low table or other arrangements aren't unusual. In a living space, tatami mats, cushions, benches, low tables would be commonplace. Also, the living areas are typically referred to as dormitories (English translation). While monastics will train for self defense, they typically don't want to be confused with soldiers or military facilities. Gassho!

[@izzatafandi9298]

i love how you build around the terrain instead of flattening everything out, very impressive!

[@evilkamatis542]

watching this building video alone is so therapeutic for me. sipping my coffee in my office watching this on tv. man you really did something great in here. You gained a sub. If only I can press the sub button as hard as I can I would do it. Thank you.

[@blakberri1460]

I recently got Valheim and I had no idea it was possible to make such cool builds, this was very relaxing but entertaining to watch, good job with the build I think you captured the idea well :)

[@smittysurvival]

Welcome to Valheim! It’s a truly special and the building is some of the best in gaming 👌🏻 thanks for supporting the vid!

[@Raglandguy]

An absolutely amazing build! I’ve recently become obsessed with recreating sukiya-zukuri architecture in Valheim so this is totally awesome to see!!!

[@TheLohoc]

Love your visions and ability to bring them to "life". I am in total awe.

[@majordity7331]

That was beautiful.. Breathtaking to say the least. The amount of detail put into that with the whole idea coming together the way it did.. I don't have the skill to push idea to reality like that and that is truly one of a kind. Great build.

[@ARMERZ]

That hidden village explanation suddenly brought me back to the days I first saw WOW: Mists of Pandaria, and suddenly understood why the East Asian Architectural Style was used

[@AP0LL0edc]

This is so incredible! I could live there, or at least would want to visit for a long time. You made it magical, and that's why I love Valheim. Thank you for sharing.

[@purasangrethrash]

Bro this is just out of this world! You are amazing

[@Vox_80]

as someone who is challenging themselves to make a village for each biome in my own world, this is giving me immense inspiration.

[@georgeallee16]

Wow.... your creativity is off the charts.

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! Valheim has proven to be an awesome medium to express my creativity through! Glad you liked this one!

[@direboy]

This is gorgeous. I'm just so impressed both about your art of architecture and the freedom that a 1gb survival game can give

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! This game is truly something special. A true testament that you don’t need huge teams and massive budgets to make quality games 🙌🏻

[@Zarviya]

People building like this but when I gotta build my starter hut my mind just blanks lmao

[@gamminggramma1695]

This is an amazing build! I love how you brought all of that together, it looks magical!! Great job!

[@callitags]

Absolutely gorgeous. I love how thoughtful you are, the details you pay attention to, and how you create a story that comes to life through architecture and landscape. Also, the reminders to grab a drink and a snack are much appreciated. You seem like such a lovely person. 🙂

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! So happy to hear your appreciation for my process. I find the journey of a build equally as important as the result. It’s like a mini story within the story lol. Thank you for always supporting the content :)

[@Jan-nl6kq]

This is crazy, at a loss for words here, dont undestand how you made something that amazing in this game. Beutifull.

[@matthewjenkins914]

I really love this build! While obviously being beautiful, you also have a great ability to build a scene. All of the weapons scattered on the ground near the arena and the other little touches really make the build feel real and lived-in. Fantastic job!

[@matthewjenkins914]

I also really enjoyed the kinda "maximalism". First with the initial stairway up the hill towards the bridge, the many lamps lining the stairway might feel like too much, but here they really added to the feudal japanese aesthetic. Second with the beehives, again there were so many but it just felt like good detail, it didn't feel overwhelming.

[@ccrascal8655]

This is beautiful. That bridge is incredible! Your whole process is amazing. Thank you for sharing

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! Bridge was definitely a break through! Glad you enjoyed watching the whole process, appreciate the support!

[@LostSky866]

I'm so glad I found this channel. It gives me happy feels. Also, could you maybe build a cliffside village? Something like the Hengshan Hanging Temple.

[@smittysurvival]

I’m so glad you found it too :) love the cliff side village idea. Sets up for a really dramatic scene 👌🏻

[@chase7078]

[@Doughbur]

Incredible work you've done here! I've mostly focused on building in games (starting with Minecraft well over a decade ago), and I know how much effort and research can go into something as creative and purposeful as this. It's truly a work of art and well deserving of my like and subscription! Keep it up man!

[@IlseMulAuthor]

I really like what you have done with that area! The combination of the wood and stone instead of the black marble is really neat 😀 It's an interesting idea to have something for monks there. I can totally see them being there. Thank you for sharing this build with us!

I so want to build one of those bridges with the circular section underneath. I've seen a couple videos of that. Looks so cool! And the Mistlands aesthetic is perfect.

That was incredible, another amazing build, and the lore attached to it made it even more impactful, those bridges are some of the best I’ve seen, I might have to borrow that design myself!!
