'Valheim' Beginner's Tips Players Should Know Beforehand

In the recently released survival game "Valheim," players assume the role of a Northman in a mythical world to win the favor of the gods. For this, they have to overthrow powerful enemies and prove that they are the strongest warriors. But, before jumping into the fray, players can check out some tips to efficiently play the game.

Harvest wood quickly by destroying old buildings

As players explore, they will come across hovels and shacks that are beyond repair. "Valheim" requires players to gather a lot of wood and these shacks are good sources of this crucial material. To do this, players should use a crafting hammer, drop it on the floor inside the shack and begin destroying the structure. Players can strip structures in just a matter of seconds.

Start out modestly

You don't need a fortress to survive the game. The best thing to start out is by doing it modestly. Players can build a basic house on a flat piece of land. All they need to do is create a hammer and gather wood from destroyed structures or by chopping down trees.

Players can then put a bed, a workbench and craft basic tools and armor. It is important that players put some shingles to be safe from dangerous elements and a campfire to keep them warm. Also, while constructing a house, they should make sure that it has a chimney and window.

Find food

After settling down, players should start looking for food by harvesting them or by hunting animals. Raspberries, mushrooms and blueberries are available to fill the players' stomachs while boar and deers are primary sources of meat. Players can only eat three items at once and are not allowed to have two of the same type of food.

Other tips

With food and a house, players need to build storage since the inventory is quite small. After doing this, players need to defeat the first boss of "Valheim," Eikthyr. After defeating the first boss, players should continue by building outposts and go on exploring the game.
