Tips & Recommendation

Where To Build Your Home/Base

Where To Build Your Home/Base in Valheim

Since the Meadows have a lot of relatively empty space, it's recommended to build your home/base on a open field, that way you'll have a lot of space to build, create a space to farm, plant crops & more.

Build Your Home/Base in Valheim

You can also build your home next to the ocean, that way if you have a Fishing Rod you can go fishing (though you can also fish just by using your hands). Having your home next to the ocean can be an advantage, as it will make docking your boat or raft much easier/more convenient.

Build Your First Weapon

Build Your First Weapon in Valheim

Since you just started your journey empty-handed, you'll need weapons to ensure your survival. It's recommended that you quickly pick up Wood x6, so you can craft your first weapon, the Club.

First weapon in Valheim

The Club is a pretty decent weapon for the early game. It can be used in self-defense against Greylings or be used for hunting Boars or Necks.

Build Your First Armor

Build Your First Armor in Valheim

Armor is extremely important, as it reduces damage taken. You can craft an armor like the Rag Tunic & Rag Pants if you were able to obtain Leather Scraps from a Boar.

First Armor Valheim

If you have obtained Deer Hides from a Deer then you can craft a Leather Tunic, Leather Pants, Leather Helmet & Deer Hide Cape. Craft this armor set as soon as you can as they can greatly help you in the fight against the first boss, Eikthyr.

Cook Your Food For Consumption

Cook Your Food in Valheim

A fierce Viking warrior such as yourself will surely have a hunger to match. In-game you must consume food to increase your Health & Stamina. You can obtain Raw Meat by killing Deer, Boars & Neck Tail for Necks.

For you to cook the meat, you must bring it to a cooking station and watch it cook. If you leave it cooking for too long, it will turn to into Coal, so be careful.
