Valheim Beginners Guide To The Plains 

Gonna go out on a limb here and say that when first exploring the Plains, queue up Eikthier. No matter your level, being able to get out fast is just about as important as getting in.

I’m hooked on this game. Laughed watching some of these videos when people have defeated the bosses by day 100. I’m on 162 and still having fun on my first seed lmao. Love everything you can do, as well as how the game punishes you for doing it sometimes lol.

finding out about the root Armor vs the mosquitos has changed my life

For those who are a bit more confident in their melee combat, the atgeir tears through the plains with the spin attack being a rather strong aoe stumble. Good for those who are.. less patient and running solo, though will take much more careful stamina management

After 5+ playtroughs i have to say, i still watch you not because i need it but because it's entertaining

My friends and I actually found Yagluth summoning altar on our way to the identified Bonemass location. We were quite surprised

That stone pillar trick is GOLD!!!! Amazing tip.

Watching now, and I really like this! I love that you add info from a speedrunner’s perspective and we can get some more advanced tips or rather alternative routes around. Very in depth.

Another tip for armor/shield is to get the serpent scale shield. It is very resistant to pierce and will block all damage from death squitos

Just one lil addition: wolf skewer is also a great HP food at this stage of the game. It can replace the serpent stew (which is a quite costly food, BTW). If you manage to tame and breed wolves, that can give unlimited access to their drops, including meat.

I've been considering my gear to bring to the plains, and the chest piece you advise is by far the best i've seen! definitely going to be using this

This is great Nick! Glad you were able to make this

getting attacked by a skeeter while on a boat is the wooooorst

I got too close to the plains while boating, and as a beginner, those damn mosquitos are hell. Almost broke my boat... 😅

Subbing because I'm new and your videos have been the absolute most informative and broken down I've found. Thank you for your hard work

THANK YOU SO MUCH. you have no idea how helpful this is

Finally, somebody covered the growths. Been watching plane guides and no one covered those sound one the hard way.

Fantastic video. The root armor was a fantastic tip.

Great info. Thanks! I've been in the plains for a while and still got a lot out of it. Best!

The bonfire trick with the abominations saved my butt several times. Thank you!

nice. Looks like a pretty complete plains guide to me. covered everything.

nice to see you back. missed your vids and livestream

Thx ! I'm terrified by plains (never done). It will really help

Another great vid Nick! Keep it up

Thank you for the video, love this and the swamp one. Will you make one for the mountains?

Great video! Extremely helpful.

Thanks Nick this video is very helpful guide

Very Helpful Thank You.

Great guide. Thanks Nick

Thanks for the new video!

Great primer! Well done sir; tons of useful information! My thanks for putting this together. Oh, and plus one sub!

great guide! I feel like you left out the tactics aspect of fighting yag legit; which is mainly, identifying his attack animations and dodging the meteors with the stone fingers. weathering the blue aoe dot is the best time to get dmg in, if you have the stam/hp. Also, a bit more on tar pits would have been good as they can be gruesome. Aggroing fulings into tar pits is an excellent way to wipe camps and tar pits; provided there are tar pits nearby.

Awsome guide for Plains! Thanks...

I hope more people begin to play Valheim, I had a friend buy it for me when it came out and I just didn’t give it enough of a chance, but I started playing two weeks ago and I’m at 100 hours lmao, idk if the death mechanics changed or what, did your stuff used to disappear? Not sure why I’m so much more hooked this time. I just remember losing all my stuff like twice last time not being able to get it back and quitting. I just hope they don’t take too long in ash lands and deep north so the game can be fully released and it will shine, I definitely think they need more ocean content/islands some kinds of crypts to make sailing more interesting since everyone complains about transporting metal but I love it, I just think it would be cool if eventually you can use the boss trophies on the portals the transfer the next level of metal minus never being able to portal the current tier of metal but all the previous ones if you have the bosses defeated but either way I’ll be happy as I enjoy the sailing I just want more reasons to stop and explore, they could definitely add more foods and maybe another set of mid game gear from like turtle hide or shark skin or something

Great guide man!

Love it Nick. Don't die to the deathsquitos.

I just found this presenter. Best one so far!

Cheers dude really helpful video

nice... learning something everytime

this game is fr addicting AF i grinded the game out in a month and learned everything. plains is definitely my favorite biome

Thanks for the video.

Thanks nick 🙏🏾

Straight up worst thing about the plains are those stupid tar blobs. They literally eviscerate your hp lmfao

your videos are very helpful on 2x play speed

Great Guide !

Great video!

Great Video!

Killin Abominations is pretty easy regardless of Equip. All you need is a Bow, a Pickaxe and probally a Hoe. Find a Surtling Flame, lower it down till you have ankle-deep Watrer (not more, you need the Movement unimpeded later. The Water will kill all spawning Surtlings fast - and you can kite the Abomination over the Flame to kill it superfast (40 Damage per second). And the Root harnesk may be nice, but it grants weakness towards Fire - which some Fuling (Goblins) have, onehitting you. - The Dragon Helmet is great as it has good Armor and no Movement Penalty. Else, I really learned to love the Fenris Armor from the Mountain Dungeons - the added Movement is insaneley useful in the plains. - Deathskitos can easily be onehitted by a well timed attack when they charge before they can do anything. - Also, a Serpent Shield may be heavy, but get compensated with Fenris Armor - plus offer Pierce Resist without downside. You even move outside the Fuling attacks by just walking back, allowin the thrust-counters to go in. - Always have the best Bow you can have and a trusty Sword.

Mountains guide next please! Lets gooooo

I recommend using the huntsman bow for clearing the camps, becouse the huntsman bow hafe a lower aggrow range than any other bow.

eyes cream is also an easy good stamina food

Plains ended up being my favorite biome

a nice positive comment for the youtube algorithm

Best tips fr

That’s a nice boulder

You need to make one of these for the mountains

Hi 😊thanks for the video. I have ben to the plains but there was no tar. Do i hafe to unlock somethings first. Please help 😳

Pro tip for spending less calories on pronouncing "vegviser" (this is one of several correct pronounciations) : "Vay-visa". The "g" can be turned in to an ay sound, and the "r" can be muted for simplicity. That way, you're not juggling consonants at the end of syllables, which makes it a much simpler word.

what music you use at 6 minute? I've been searching for this song for 4 years

great tips, thanks. always wondered why maces did extra damage to blobs. shouldn't pierce handle that role better than blunt? oh well...off to the plains. not looking forward to deathsquitos

Nice!

As @tamarackgaming mentioned just below me - when you go to the Plains, just make sure you can run OUT of the Plains very easily. In fact? Just don't ever go to the Plains. Like Camelot - "'Tis a silly place". XD

Bro, I was in the plains while watching this and you were talking about wearing the root armor piece to prevent Deathsquito damage and so the sounds were playing in the video, and I didn't hear a Deathsquito sneak up on me and hit me for half my health 😭

an other nice and funny trick is to walk with the abomination into a troll. I gave the Abomintion some hits while he was fighting against the trall and they died together.

I love fighting abominations with a knife, i feel like a dark souls player mixed with crocodile Dundee

23:30 i found a vegvsir out of nowhere in an open meadow in the plains the other day.

I have seen the bone hand altar every play through. For me, the grind is way worse finding the trader since so much of the map is black forest.

All the swamps on my world with crypts are also connected to plains. I've killed 3 deathsquitos with iron armor. I would switch worlds but I also have a maypole on my world

If you drain a tar pit does that mean the tars never respawn? Also if you rebuild the wall does that "fix" the tar spawns?

Bro never mentioned you can only grow flax and barley in plains, i wasted so much growing them in my main base in meadows😭, would've made base near plains if i knew instead of upgrading old one

With the deathsquitos, just use a stagbreaker

Wish you'd show how to kill Yagloth without cheesing. Might as well use console commands to kill it if you're resorting to that

My seed stayed and all my markings remained but everything i built was erased?!

Stepped on the plains island today. Let me tell you them mosquito are some annoying bugs

Deathsquitos are 1-shottable with an Iron Atgeir.

I heard fire resistance doesnt stack

I'm here because I just absolutely VIOLATED by a large posse of growths.

you are god

9:48 …fully geared, in the Prairie, and you magically pop an Improved Run skill of… -> 3. Uh, huh…

A mistlands guide like this ?

here after dying to a deathsquito roaming in the swamp

Get the silver gear upgraded and you’ll be set.

Vids is helpful. Somm yes, some not. If this work, people can defeat Yaglut with nothing. Is not feer. :D Is only my wort. Vids is so great and y wish you good luck. Thanxk, bro.

forgot to actually include fighting the boss the non cheese way

Really fucking loved this game until our server file got corrupted and we later on heard that it is a known bug for xbox. We are all completely unmotivated to start over

Lol. 17:13 - Pickaxe skill lvl 1, when you already have silver items.

Plains guide=do the mountains first. Lol

Recommending to eat the Serpent Stew is not at all a good idea, as it's quite expensive to make and hunting for Serpents is kinda a waste of time. You should rather eat the Wolf Skewers as they are easy to make and not that much worse than the Serpent Stew. Also, why the heck would you eat the Onion Soup rather than Eyescream? Eyescream is just a better food all around and it lasts longer. It's also very cheap to make provided you haven't been thought out your Grey Dwarf eyes.

Flax? I've explored about 5 different plains and didn't even know it existed. Never saw it. Must have picked a bad seed.

Dodging the skeetos isn’t an advanced tip, you should already know how to dodge by plains. Trivializes the whole area.

I keep rage quitting this game omg its fantastic but frustrating!!!!!!

i got so strong in this game that I dont wanna play it anymore

Thanks for the video.
