Valheim Ashlands Update - Everything New

the ashlands update has just hit the public test branch and there is a huge amount to cover featuring The ashlands biome and with it new enemies materials buildables rideables and catapults so let's break down the update covering what we've seen in the trailer what I've come across so far in the ashlands and also what's been announced on their patch notes now this does mean that there will be spoilers ahead but before we get into all of that if you do want to check out the ashlands today yourself you can do by joining the persistent test Branch it's available to everyone just be warned that it isn't as stable as the main branch and I've personally had several crashes today trying to load the game but with that out of the way let's break down the trailer now the very first clip that we have features a brand new draa ship now given the water around the ashlands boils with heat you'll need this to protect yourself when sailing it also uses the ceramic plates which can be produced at The Artisan table with the Artisan press which is unlocked with the Seeker Queen drop from the Mist lands now we then see one of the many ruins in the ashlands along with the burnt trees that produce Ashwood when destroyed and a Morgan which drops Morgan Hearts this Freaky Bundle of Bones is actually the first of 13 new enemies that we have in this update so quite uh a lot ahead of us now the following shot is of a fallen Valkyrie which drops Celestial feathers that is going to be very useful for Mages and producing the new weapons we then have a mix of charred Warriors which are on a chard Fortress we're going to cover that in a little bit but in quick succession after this we have a CH giant I haven't actually been able to find this character at all in the mistland so if you do come across it uh do let me know in the comments we then see briefly a new staff and armor fighting the Fallen Valkyrie and then we have the bone Moore serpent which drops bone Moore meat and also teeth here we have adventurers heading into the ashlands you'll also notice unstable lava rocks on the left these will explode if damage is done to them so just be aware of that we also have a shield generator this is going to protect your builds from the weather events we also have a he of new buildables that I'm going to talk about shortly as well at this point they showcase the basalt or bassal I think it is bombs which you'll be able to use in order to create walkways across the lava Flats allowing you to access the flame metal ore which you can see here we also get to see some of the flame metal armor and weaponry there's a total of three new armor sets which I'll talk about shortly and also over 30 new weapons to play around with for the this update now in this shot we do get to see the first of the Ashland fortresses these have a Garrison of charred enemies which will'll cover shortly but reward you with rare resources such as Jade Lite and Bloodstone they also provide you with bell fragments and if you're lucky they'll also have the location of the Ashland's boss and whilst traveling the wa you're going to be finding many other creatures around including vultures which can be killed for vulture meat they also have vulture eggs though I'm not sure if we can tame them like chickens for ourselves I'll have to try that out in a future video now one of my favorite things about the ashlands as you can see here is the huge change in scenery rather than nature you're going to be finding the remnants of an ancient civilization scattered around the Ashland Wast and you're also going to have plenty of lore scattered amongst the the rocks to give you a bit of background as to what's happened here whilst exploring these runes you'll also find some new items including the new Creeper plants which will'll come in use later on as well alongside the bone Mo which we saw earlier and the Morgan there's also a new ridable creature the as spin but they're not friendly you will have to tame them first followed by the fallen vye and then we get to the good stuff we now have two Siege engines the battering ram and the Catapult now the the fortresses that you you need to penetrate to get the resources they are impervious to Small Arms damage so you're going to be needing to use these in order to penetrate the walls and then we finish off the trailer and I must admit I I loved it I thought it was a fantastic trailer to to show off the ashlands but it doesn't cover everything along with the 30 plus new weapons there also new bombs and ammunition for your weapons including smoke bombs the bassal basalt bomb uh explosive payloads for your catapult and other payloads though you can Chuck just about anything by the looks of it there's also Char arrows and bolts you can also combine your flame weapons with Bloodstone Lite and Jade to give them magical improvements as well and there are three new armor sets both the armor of Embler and also ask and then the third one being the flame metal armor that we've already already seen we also have two new capes the ask spin Cape that allows you to run faster when you're running alongside the wind very much like um how a Ship Sails in valheim as well with the wind and then we also have the Ashen Cape which has a selection of bonuses that reduce stamina consumption and on top of the weapons the armor and the enemies there's also a selection of over 70 new buildables based around two new materials for building which is Ashwood harvested from the Ashland trees that I covered earlier and gron which is the stone that you can find um littered throughout now between them there's a huge selection of buildables to play around with and I'm looking forward to showing off some new builds using these along with the new furniture pieces which include uh new bed new rugs new pots and probably the most important new buildable that we have is the stone portal now this works exactly the same as the normal portals except there are no resource restrictions so you can take ores between bases now which I know a lot of you will appreciate we also have 30 new crafting materials to play around with and we also have over 15 new foods available as well and there's also some really big game me well there's a really big game mechanic change in Ash as well so fires can now spread to buildables in the ashlands so you have to be careful with what resource you're building with um another thing that you can do if you want to challenge yourself now is there's the option for all locations to be affected by this if you start a new game this is actually the perfect opportunity to start a server over with friends if you're looking for a more challenging valheim so if you are planning on doing that do make sure to

Warriors archers and a warlock and there's also a twitcher they'll also often be accompanied by skug turrets if you're attacking their fortresses as well so just be aware of that uh another enemy is the lava blobs that you'll have to contend with and depending on if you're friends or not with the ver probably pronounce that wrong again um there's a new Redbeard now if you don't like spoilers do look away now there is a new mini boss and the biome boss as well in order to unlock the boss you're going to have to collect Bell shards and use them to produce Bells so that you can summon the Jade Dragon now the power gained from killing it is a 10% speed buff and a considerable plus 300 Max carry weight now overall the update offers a lot of new things to play around with and I know for one I
