Misty Hardcore Solo E01 | Full Valheim Playthrough / Let's Play 

Thanks so much! The comments definitely help with visibility so I appreciate it!

@@ThreadMenace can please make a Game play about Enshrouded ? i will see how u play!

@@ferhatkurt8898 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fGlxRyxfwaA.html I'll be playing it when it's out, for sure!

i agree completely. youre the best valheim player ive seen and it took a good bit of searching to find your vid. nobody has taught me alot of the stuff i know and really plays as efficiently and precisely as you do and i really appreciate it you are scratching my niche hard

Playing with the vegetation is so refreshing! I really like the next base I build as well, but won't be making any magazine covers either haha

@@ThreadMenace looking forward to the next episode! Been avoiding Valheim content in general until I explore the Mistlands, but hopefully I have a few more episodes until you hit the new content.

Yeah, the labor laws in the afterlife are pretty lax but you're right, I really should throw him some bones.

Haha, yes! Super secure tree!

Oldie but a goodie! New record coming soon-ish. Here's an unpublished (slow)speedrun I finished a few days ago if you want somethin' new in the meantime but time-wise it's nothing to write home about. I'm stoked to get back into everything! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0iuRtWeM2XE.html

Haha, fantastic! I‘ll watch it of course. Excited for the upcoming new ones too!

Thanks! My organization definitely gets messier as the playthrough goes on! :P Lots of swamp in the next episode but we move on pretty quickly!

Is it though? Digging perimeter is very fast since once you dug deep it will be one hit. Then pop whole deposit with one hit. I need to setup clock to measure though.

You say that now but building our "forever home" is a CHORE! 🤣 It's back to the action after that though

@@ThreadMenace i saw the second episode. Your struggle with the roof of the swamp base made me laugh hard. XD

Heck yeah, thank you! I tend to be a bit of a madman in the first 90 minutes, I can assure you I have my fair share of bronze age deaths too! 😭😂

Thanks so much! There's a *wild* situation in the mists later and I stay pretty chill. Playthrough was definitely holding on by a thread

Also copper !

Heck yeah, thanks! There is a LOT of that particular activity on this channel, so stay tuned, haha!

Heck yeah! How'd it go?!

@@ThreadMenace oh man, this place. I have a pretty bad aversion to cockroaches. My wife regularly hears me scream. But hey, got my 15 black core, got my upgraded gears, and this level 2 Demolisher is very, very helpful in the mines or anything behind doors :)

I think that's a great policy if you're not a crazy person like me that plays the game over and over again lol

Thank you so much!!! There is a Season 2! ru-vid.com/group/PLTD4_RSzP0JZlSpTvDcQEPH-J5shJakiA

Eyyyyy, thanks so much!

Haha, thank you! I love trolling, just can't get enough!

Yeah, it's the most skill-intensive way to kill a deer. Killing a deer with a bow or spear is cheesier, deer doesn't stand a chance. People that had been with the channel know what I'm talking about: no clubbing Yag's belly from a hole in the ground, like in speedruns, etc. No killing first two bosses with campfires... THAT'S cheese. The whole topic is incredibly subjective. But in any event, thanks for the engagement!

Thanks and welcome!!!

Thanks! Yeah, I definitely wouldn't stack graves in casual play and I'm glad there's also a speedrun category (hardcore%) that doesn't utilize it, but I also think things that like are cool in speedrunning. The developers put the mechanic in the game and it's out "job" to exploit the heck out of it! In any event, there's something for everybody! I'm glad that I enjoy it all!

I probably should more, haha. I definitely chill more when doing duo and my buddy Henrik makes some awesome builds! Skal!

Thanks!

I would definitely prefer having to work for Bonemass than work for Yag!

Between you and Henrik I've become a BELIEVER! (I'm still not very good with it tho XD)

@@ThreadMenace Nice

You got a trench or an earth wall around your main base, homie? Cheese is super subjective and people that have been around my channel a while know i've dug many a hole and clubbed many a Yag belly without him being able to attack me. THAT'S frickin' cheese! Cooking stations are way more skill intensive than a bow, spear, knife, or sneaking. It doesn't even make the tiniest blip on my cheese radar, and I can assure you that if you're flying into a moral panic about it that this is not the channel for you, and that's OK. I appreciate the engagement though!

@@ThreadMenace I just mentioned it because it was funny and it is cheese. All the speedrunners use it and they are nothing but cheese cuz they have nothing else to work with practically. I have so many hours in the game, training select skills right from day one is my cheese, if any and they make later game progress pretty easy and I really enjoy that natural advanced progression one can find in certain key aspects. For instance, getting the root harnesk and using that to go into the Plains right away to nab some cloudberries with relative ease and that came in super handy on my last run to have stamina potions because my boat was capsized and broke and I had just enough to survive the swim to shore.

Thanks! I was excited to finally get a hardcore run down!

I feel like I'm seeing them less now than when this was recorded

The spear will forever occupy a place in my heart and also in slot 4 of my hotbar

(Me too btw)

Thanks so much! I align myself and from there I make sure not to move the mouse side to side. Do not move the camera at all, only WASD to move character. From there it's basically a series of alternating quick taps of w and left click. It can pay to align self and then entirely pick the mouse up off the mouse pad, although I no longer do this. I don't do this either but alternatively many have success with toggling the "walk" option and just holding w and periodically clicking. I rebound it long but I think the default might be 'c.' You can always check in the settings

@@ThreadMenace I've been trying with walking, but I've not got the timing perfect and I move the mouse. Thought you might have a quick fix, but it sounds like the answer is just git gud lol

Thanks so much! Enjoy!

Hope you enjoy! There's a season 2 in case you run out!

Welcome! Did I use fire or spear? Haha Best advice I can give is that the troll is either in "attack mode" or "pursuit mode" and you wanna keep it in "attack mode," dodge the attacks, and get in there while he's on cooldown. Unarmed troll has a slightly more complicated pattern, but with enough practice you can really exploit it to get damage in

Thank you so much! I have a lot of fun with it! :D

**tips tophat**

Thanks and welcome! No worries, the party rages on! There's not much calculation, to be honest.... You smash for a while, and then take a break, then maybe do it some more or maybe not, lol. Well, sometimes when I only need a small amount of finewood I'll calculate, and here is how: I estimate each birch tree we hit is 10 finewood and estimate each oak is 25. In reality it is usually more or less, but it's often fairly close.

@@ThreadMenace thanks man i mean its Captain obvious but never marked oaks for more fine wood tbh the more you know the more you know

Part of the reason I do it is that it happens so early in the run. It makes for an exciting beginning and if I die then starting over isn't too bad. I hadn't made any huge investments like building something that took me a long time, etc.

Thanks for the engagement

Thank you!

@@ThreadMenace no worries - I appreciate the reply. I'm not panicking, so I think we're all fine :) It's just something that's bugged me since I watched Nick Rawcliffe using campfires to fight Eikthyr in his no-glitch world record attempts - it just feels off. I play way too slow for anyone to ever find it interesting, I'm sure... Day 100, Wood cutting 70, time to kill Eikthyr!

"""builder""" :P

Omg I forgot that was a thing that happened. Episode 1 even!

Hey, this is actually normal. It was published way before the modifiers were a thing. In this context "hardcore" pretty much just means deathless. I have to agree with you that very hard pretty much turns it into a different game. The only thing I've uploaded with difficulty modifiers are the Trial of Tyr runs (for which there are playlists) and those are on hard. I'd suggest checking out Zhaekus on twitch, he's doing a hardcore preset run and responds to questions in chat. I'd also definitely keep an eye on my homie @henrik9658 here on RU-vid. He just finished a playthrough on Immersive and is probably going to dive in to some Very Hard stuff soon.

You've come to the right place!

Eh I don't consider their loot to be of value and they're just so mean and they follow you forever!

@@ThreadMenace that’s fair. I just learned last night their tales are used in a pot dish. Just reached the plains and swamp and those areas pretty rough

@@hereticwinter07 definitely. would certainly recommend anyone make poison pots. i have a lot of experience and play weird/fast so I don't always do it

@@ThreadMenace yessir, my buddy and I just learned the hard way against Bonemass today. Poison Res is an absolute godsend.

For sure, they can mine like champions! Plus sides though are I get to just have a proper 1v1 in a controlled environment and kill it for 20 hide while keeping my miner troll alive and only missing out on his 5 hide.

@@ThreadMenacedo 2 star trolls do more damage to copper veins?

Yup! @@duploq

Hardcore *mode* didn't exist yet when this was published. "Hardcore" is often used to denote deathless in video games. This series is still lots of fun and a lot of people enjoy it! Also, I do have a playthrough going with the actual hardcore preset if that's what you're looking for-- Thread Tries HARDCORE: ru-vid.com/group/PLTD4_RSzP0JaCbIpezeMppHDIigZVWfcQ

@@ThreadMenace Thank you!

PS I just started playing Valheim and must say your skill in this game is very impressive

Hi, pardon the delay here! I usually use exactly one neck tail per playthrough for its mead recipe. The reason I don't pick up more is because it functions as a high HP food, but boar meat and deer meat are better so I go with those and then stamina food. Someone else might want to pick up more neck tails to make more batches of mead but as a food it's just not that great, and then it forever occupies a storage slot in a box somewhere...I'd rather just not deal with it. Thanks for the kind words!

@@ThreadMenace cool beans thanks for the response

WHAT?!

BECAUSE I'M A MONSTER! Haha, it's just that they harass you to no end if you don't deal with them and I pretty much only need one batch of poison mead for the playthrough. The tails would just take up a slot in a box.

MY FISHESSSSS

bYeH2Zi2WE

Thank you sir

Ye

I level 3 bronze atgeir with also stagger wolves and fulings. I'm not quite sure why they won't let a level one stagger a regular troll. You need a level 3 iron atgeir to stagger a level two troll. Ask me how I know, lols.

I mean with the special attack

Uh oh! Sounds like a lesson learned the hard way! Yeah, if a lvl 3 staggers goblins you'd think a lvl 1 would stagger trolls. hm. Good to know, thanks!

@@ThreadMenace I was using a knife as my main weapon when they dropped the update that gave us "You Are Being Hunted". I tried the stagbreaker but it's too slow for me. Then I tried the atgeir and I haven't looked back. I only switch to an axe or a sword for abominations.

@@ThreadMenace now we are talking 👌

I have never called anything maxhardcore and I never will. "Hardcore" is a pretty common way to label a deathless playthrough, and I never claimed this was anything more. This was recorded long before the world modifiers were in the game... Have you by chance uploaded a no-map deathless playthrough? I would love to critique it!

@@ThreadMenace I didn't look at the publication date of the video. I thought it meant a world modifier. Right now I’m going through maxHC. Normal difficulty without deaths is VERY easy. I've done it in this mode many times. Especially an archer. On average, normal difficulty without deaths takes -60 game days. MaxHC will take a lot of time, since there is no map, and terrain orientation is not provided by the developers. I will not install a mod on the compass. I don't like mods at all. In return, you will learn a lot of interesting things, for example, how to find a boss without a map, which is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. If, of course, you know some of the game mechanics. I advise you to try MaxHC, it will give you a lot more emotions from the game)
