Ten Things We Wish We Knew When We Started Playing Valheim

hey there this is Sailor and this is Topher and in this video we're going over 10 helpful tips for valheim so let's jump right into it all right so tip number one Vikings The Hammer can save your life you're going to run slower when your weapons and shield are equip equipped and unfortunately you can't unequip them while running because there's a little unequip animation which slows you down and forces you to stop running and that might get you killed so just equip and unequip your Hammer which is going to make you unequip your weapons and there's no animation for that so it's not going to make you stop running and you can continue to run away and save your own little biking life okay so tip number two learn to Parry you've got to practice parrying do it early do it often the reason being when you parry someone successfully they take twice the normal damage so Parry this guy don't Parry him I can't stress this three hours later um learn to Parry block it just the right time don't block too early don't block too often there we go Parry hit him you hear the sound when they take double damage and the sound when they Parry it's kind of a little indicator so great way to make quick work of things like trolls or just brutes uh gry dwarf brutes they can be really annoying so yeah okay so uh you're running around you're doing things uh well you're fighting bad guys similar to this this guy got him yeah so you're running around you're fighting bad guys you're doing Viking stuff um so this next tip is uh really simple it's got a little acronym for you and that's ABF always be foraging my friends uh it's easier for you to just pick up a few things or just leave them on the ground why is auto pickup turned off for this Pro tip left trigger left trigger plus left stick turns on auto pickup there you go there you go uming so always be foraging with your auto pickup on cuz what you don't want to do do is run around and just throw berries on the ground uh I'll be honest I will stop uh when I'm being chased by trolls to pick blueberries so if you're just always picking things up then you're never running out of things another great tip when you're out there foraging ABF always be foraging always be foraging uh you know so you're coming along you say hey look at these some delicious um snos berries so what you want to do because they will respawn is go to your map how about um just a nice little Dot and then I like to say snaz berries hope that's not copyright snaz berries taste like raspberries raspberries do taste like raspberries cuz these will respawn later so you know it's handy later you're saying hey I need some snaz berries my house is over here there's some snaz berries over here if you know how many days it takes for them to respawn put a little comment down below cuz I've played this game like 1500 hours and I couldn't tell you so that's why I'm here teaching you guys stuff okay [Music] so um so you going to pay close attention um to to this next tip so it takes a second to equip and unequip both of your weapon and your Shield at the same time so to do this quickly uh if you're using a controller you can just push down on your right stick and if you're using mouse and keyboard you can just push r on the keyboard obviously and um you can equip and unequip whatever was last equipped with one push of a button as opposed to having to go through the process that's the type of thing that I wish I had known when I first started playing valheim it's true all right so next tip is you're going to want to always carry three different foods with you um I typically like to carry uh two health foods and a stamina food that's going to be indicated by open your inventory that's going to be indicated that's going to be indicated you're going to edit that out no that's going in okay so um the type of food is going to be indicated by the color of fork next to the food so red Forks are going to be health food and those will increase your health H yellow Forks are going to be stamina food and those will increase your stamina and white Forks are going to be equal on both so every food increases a little bit of both health and stamina and if you look right by sailor's head you can see I only have 25 Health it's not much health you get hit by somebody boom dead bingo bango dead which way this way no that's the way it's over here so you know eat these look 25 health and then watch it's it's like your gu's so happy he feels nice his health starts going up he starts feeling really good like get getting a little Healy little Healy time it's nice it's good for you speaking of things that are good for you always be well rested you know it's a lot of work being a viking so once you're by fire if you're in Shel shelter or if you're just out by a fire sitting down and not getting rained on you'll see a little icon in the top right you're resting that's great so you have a little seat just uh you know relax look around and the cool thing is after several seconds of being in AR rested State you'll actually get a rested bonus and what that does it gives you much faster stamina regeneration much faster Health regeneration and you get significantly more experience when you do things like kill monsters so always be rested you know don't run around tired weak hungry you'll die and you don't want to die cuz when you die you lose skill points you know um and nobody likes that nobody likes it nobody likes it nobody likes it mhm okay so in the same vein of being rested uh the other thing you're going to want to make sure you do is decorate your home because um it's going to increase your your comfort level so like whenever you're in range of like say this dear skin rug and like various other decorations we have in the house um it's going to increase the Comfort level and for every Comfort level that you have it's going to increase your rested bonus by another minute see over here it's like a different Comfort level Comfort because we're not in range com like these Comfort items right now it's real comfortable by our beds you're going to get a rested bonus when you sleep um and the higher your comfort level is over by your bed um the more rest bonus you're going to get and again for every Comfort level is going to increase your rested bonus by one would you say AB um I guess yeah always be rested always be rested so decorate decorate Better Homes than Vikings Better Homes and Vikings okay so one of our last tips today guys is that you will need lots of arrows and for arrows most of the good ones anyway as you progress through the game you'll need lots of feathers to get feathers kill birds unfortunately a lot of them will fly away before you can get a shot [Music] off so while you can get some of the birds when it's nice and sunny out a really cool tip is that when it's raining birds don't like to fly away so they'll just hang out until it stops raining as long as you don't get too close and scare them away just wait until it's raining that way you're not finding yourself wasting a bunch of arrows I mean it can be really annoying um even if you're a bad shot like I sometimes am you can still get a few shots off and they won't fly away cuz they said hey it's rainy and I'm a bird I'm just going to sit here get [Music] shot okay so our last tip when you build your first base build near the water you know don't make the mistake that we made we found a beautiful Meadow and it was way far away from the ocean but it looked really nice later in the game when we started bringing boat loads literal boat loads of ore back we had to load it up in a cart and travel way too far up mountains down mountains we ended up spending days with friends of ours building roads just to make it passable to be able to use the cart what sailor's doing right now she's just pulled up a long ship right up to a dock we've got a cart right there she's able to just put it right in the cart and then you know she's like 30 seconds away from where she can go smelt this stuff well there you have it 10 tips for new players that we hope make your stay in valheim just a little more enjoyable thank you
