when you are undergeared then yes the game gets harder when playing solo, HODOR
Solo Valheim started off fun. I was playing unmodded and after beating the game just once I installed Gravekeeper. That saved so much time that I can play the game for fun rather than a test of patience.
Valheim is pretty easy honestly, if you follow progression
Whats GraveKeeper?
@@lights_utopia1130 a mod, probably stops your grave from despawning
@@undevelopedcell3800
Ye, you can use local graves for storage pretty much from what i read.
@@friendlyplayer92 yes it's fairly easy, but slow as hell to get things like iron if it happens to be far away, and getting bronze armor is never worth it because it's the slowest ore to get, usually you just craft a bronze mace and buckler and go to the swamp with some health foods and maybe troll armor at best.
(And tbh what i would only get is silver armor after killing bonemass just to save iron for the padded armor, though idk it barely needs iron, all you really need is poison resistance potion, maybe root mask, an iron mace and the ability to dodge the swipe attack.)
I'm glad you are big enough for sponsors now.
I'm glad you're glad.
@@HazzorPlaysGamesi’m glad you’re glad they’re glad
@@HazzorPlaysGames I'm glad you're glad, but not glad the other guy is glad. That's too much glad
Im not Glad, im Brad.
@@moderndavinci6599 fair.
Can't go wrong with a good ol' oak.
The tree itself is hardy, and the wood is tough and durable.
Make something out of oak, and it's damn near indestructible!
*looks at fire*
On this topic, I never understood why Valheim decided to make oaks loot "fine wood" I stead of "core wood" that is supposed to be the more robust wood to be used in the game
Because "Core" by definition means the central most important part of something. Unchanged. Essentially referring to it being logs, rather than planks, Pine trees are amongst the tallest trees in the world, producing the longest logs. Valheim's "Fine Wood" and "Wood" refers to things mainly made of planks and beams like tables and posts. @@DanLo-tube
"Eyls Opinsydja - Finding an entrace, where he can"
God damn, never thought I'd see a mighty boosh reference in the year of our lord 2023 😆
We definitely need another season of that
only came to the comments section to look for this comment :D
I remember my first humbling experience while playing solo as I thought mountain was the 3rd biome instead of swamp, I learned a very hard lesson that day.
Reminds me of when we thought the Plains was the one after the Swamp. It went better than you'd expect, but it was a tragedy none the less.
Yupp many little mistakes that turned into massive missteps🤣 first time coming back with an iron haul was chased by a serpent towards land. Thought I was landing in a meadows but a deathsquito came and one shotted that dream right away. The game is unforgiving if you make dumb mistakes often hahaha and that’s me to a T
@@InfernosReaper yeah, if you get the root harnesk from abominations it helps alot with deathsquitos and spear throwers as it gives resistance to pierce.
@@aarepelaa1142 That did not exist at the time, sadly
Man my starting island fucked me up with this I found black forest right away with mountain in the middle exploring around the start and got wrecked so many times as a new player
Favourite tree definitely has to be Pinus Contorta. Nothing says "wilderness" like a densely forested hillside, with legions of foliage hardcore enough to not lose leaves (or pines, rather) due to a little cold weather. I love pine cones too, as a bonus. A close runner up would be the Eucalyptus Deglupta, or the Rainbow Eucalyptus. Seeing one in person many moons ago was lifechanging. I'm a sucker for delightfully scented arbor.
i like the way you type
@@spencerhiggins5411right I was like this man's elegant af 😂🤙
Favorite Tree: Weeping Willow
its so great a tree that it overcomes my resistance to engagement farming
some buddies and I had a valheim server back when it first launched and we got about this far before I ended up alone because everyone else dropped the game to go play other things. I did end up making a sweet little castle on this little island within swimming distance of the mainland. I was able to build some bridges to it and boy did that make incoming raids a joke to deal with lol.
You got further than i ever did in Valhiem i rage quited when i died on the other side of the map. Great video and keep upp the good work!
Only one thing to say : Portals
@@skorpikion
Portals
Ancient Alien guy: "Portals"
@@skorpikion yeah but you can't transport ores and metals through portals
@@azertyqwerty2503 the comment is about dying and struggling to retrieve your stuff, idk why you talk about ores
This was fun to watch!
I’m actually playing Valheim largely solo as well. I’m almost at Bonemass, but have zero idea what comes after.
I do hope that Eyls adventure will continue eventually, as it looks like I’ll be adventuring alongside him. :D
After Bonemass comes Moder the dragon.
supposed to do bonemass but i skipped him and went straight for moder
What a warm, bassy, calm-inducing and relaxing voice you have! This was the first video I’ve watched of your’s and I’m hooked!
16:45 That one took me by surprise. :D Excellent video, lots of small little jokes thrown in, very enjoyable!
Just a tip for scrap iron mining,
Its better to use the antler pickaxe to destroy the mud piles since you can easily repair it with a workbench
Hint: Do not kill the troll right away, let him farm for you. just mark where you oaks, copper etc are at and lead them to it. dodge their attacks and wala all the resources you need in no time. you can also get them to mine silver. Babe ruth "troll with a club" is your best option as it does more damage and faster. you can easily get all the wood you will ever need in a matter of minutes.
I was playing this with my friend. We found a heavily forested island and instead of help me with progressing, he spent every minute of playtime cutting down every tree on our island. It was honestly fantastic and we build a cozy little commune on that island.
I did this xD my 2 friends went exploring came back to a walled fortress
Found the RuneScape player
@@jonturnip6858That's sick lmaoo
I love Valheim, but having played it solo again recently, it's absolute agony to play as a solo.
Definitely more fun with friend, even if ya do have to get x Friends amount of extra materials
@@InfernosReaper absolutely, agree 100%
Great video, only recently found you and have already binged most of your content, Oh, and as instructed at around 7:50, the Willow Tree holds a special place in my heart
I will actually go through portals to other parts of the map so as to avoid cutting down birch trees near my main base. Definitely my favourite, maybe because we don't have that many in England.
I think most solo players get to the swamp or plains and the interest drops. You understand the grind you went through with all that tin and copper and you realise it will be that all over again just harder and longer.
I personally only made it to plains before I gave up solo. Just felt like I was making the same trips over and over and a death felt very discouraging.
Yep, exactly. That is one of the Games biggest problems. BUT Valheim achieved something special: Again and again the game immersed me very deep in different ways. For example I really feelt like a fuckin Viking (I´m not even that much a viking fan) when sailing my dragonboat home from far foreign isles, loaded with iron and treasure through stormy weather on a wide ocean, unsure if I can make it, because the daylight fades away. Or for example carefully exploring silent village ruins that appeared peaceful and suddenly get surprise by two draughs. This was intense and thrilling dangerous at that moment, but a manageable threat for a true hero. Less than a minute into the fight panic starts. More draughs leave houses and swarm out to hunt me. ITS A FUCKIN NIGHTMARE and i get surrounded! I love the game for doing such things
You can set a world to portal items now so you can use portals to move around with the ore, which makes the game much more bearable (and makes more sense overall).
I hope you do a second half to this. Was a really good watch.
Please make this a series! I love this type of edited playthrough with just the right amount of humor :)
saw this through the community post. did its job im glad
Salix Babylonica for sure, beautifully dramatic and immensely useful. Loved the vid
Loved the video Hazzor! Great work 🙂
4:47 - You can get away with only 5 cores. Both the kiln and smelter have identical resource costs so you can just alternate between the two as needed, disassemble one and use the dropped resources to build the other.
That’s gross and the time saved from having both (and even a double set) will greatly outweigh the time saved from not raiding more crypts
I cant believe how underrated you are, you show more quality in videos than youtubers with millions of subscribers, keep it up 👍
every video I watch makes me cut it short and load the game.... you entertained me enough that I stayed for the whole video.... gratz
Just found your channel with this vid and i gotta say i love it its right up my alley
I would love to see more of Eyls’ journey
The quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) is the best tree based on sheer size alone, seconded only by the Californian redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens). Prettiest in my opinion is black ash (Fraxinus nigra). The most metal tree goes to the suicide tree (Cerbera odollam).
This guy has real taste. I too would choose aspens and redwoods.
My favorite tree is probably the ficus as a bonsai. I love your valheim series keep it up. Hopefully more content to come
I love watching Valheim content. I like the way you did this video! I have 300+ hours of solo play, and I agree that it is often pain. My next run is going to be no portals... I might go insane, but I might also love it! We'll see...
No portals? Fuck that lol, that's basically the equivalent of playing a hardcore permadeath char. Die once and you gotta refarm bronze nails for a Karve at the very least. Usually most solo players only experience that once then learn about safety portals, but every death would be like that for you. Especially annoying would be stuff like farming in other biomes. Imagine spending 30 minutes travel time just to go pick barley and flax.
@@barahng The trick is to be nomadic. Each new island you sail to, you need to set up shop. You have to create your spawn on the island you are exploring, otherwise, you're right, that would be horrible. Lol.
I just filled up my longboat with ore, wood, etc and my inventory with the rest. If you are a pack rat, it will suck, but stay nomadic and it was actually a really fun way to play. The longboat becomes that much more meaningful, and sailing across the sea with all your most valuable possessions is a trip lol
@@pfunklesomething is definitely removed from games with teleports, but can definitely be off putting without em
Just started Valheim, you got me with your favourite tree 🤣. Liked and subscribed, carry on good sir
Sitka Spruce: super strong and lightweight, great color when debarked, grows fast and really tall. Great for climbing and building, burns hot, and finally is really pleasant to carve
My favorite tree is Prunus Pendula, the Weeping Cherry/ Weeping Sakura. It's just such a pretty tree... All the elegance of a willow with the magic of those pink petals.
My favourite tree is a fir tree. I just love the shape of them, and the fact they never get ugly and naked, but stay green throughout winter.
I've been doing a my first solo playthrough this past week and holy hell is it fun. Farming wood and ores is actually something thag takes a bit of logistical thinking. It's been nice just figuring out how to make a beautiful and functional building to craft and forge and enhance my character. Every little step does wonders for the sense of accomplishment. I spent 3 hours late into the night last night just gathering a cartful of wood, building a huge addition to my open air crafting gazebo, then going back out for more wood. Solo play is perfect for someone who wants to take their time and enjoy every facet of the game to its fullest. Haven't even looked for the second boss and im already 30 hours into my playthrough with full troll armor, a decked out base, and the beginnings of an apiary and meadery. Made my first cauldron meal 30 hours in 😂
I love the calming pace of your videos 👍👍👍
I love Valheim and I am super happy to see Hazzor playing it.
I am one of those weirdos who has a favorite tree. Mine happens to be Picea Pungens or The Colorado Blue Spruce. It's not as fancy as many other trees but by gods the blue shade of its pine is astounding.
Weeping willow, I love the thickness of the leaves. As if you are covered by a blanket when standing under one.
I think Elder trees are my favourite. They have pretty flowers that you can use to make Elderflower cordial and they eventually turn into elderberries that can be made into tasty jams, cordial and even alcohols 😋
I’m glad to see Eyls Opinsydia was finding an entrance where they can.
Ash is my favourite tree.
great videos by the way really enjoy binging your stuff.
7:48 Well as a proud dane my favourite trees is obviously the oak tree. Because the oak tree makes the finest ships for raiding.
that youtuber moment was great. and also funny.
All the things a youtuber moment should be
I never subscribe when streamers/youtubers ask but you somehow convinced me to do so. Good for you :)
This is just for the algorithm, but still proud to see how quick your growing keep it up
My only entire play through was solo. Definitely some tough times, but it was still an enjoyable experience.
I have a tie between 4 different trees for my favorite. Eastern white pine trees, (lots of nostalgia tied to these trees, their needles are very long and make a wonderful natural forest floor carpet so they're comfortable to sit under a massive grouping of them to read. Red maple trees, the colors are really striking and beautiful. And Wisteria trees because their flowers are very pretty and I'd love to see them in person. And last but certainly not least paper birch trees. I loved painting on the shed bark as a kid also birch beer is delicious.
Right, well like a good crop, I'm more than willing to be farmed for engagement.
I don't necessarily have a single favorite tree, but I know what trees I like to be surrounded by. We've got a Beech tree in our front yard that's pretty tall and is a lovely sight to see, probably one of the better trees in the neighborhood if I'm honest. We also get Ponderosa Pines on our side of the pond and nothing beats being surrounded by a good pine n' fir forest. Some of the best climbing trees are, in fact, pines - their bark offers a great grip and the needles are mostly located along the outer perimter of the branches, ensuring you don't often get prickled like crazy if you stay closer to the trunk. While the resin is incredibly sticky the smell is far from unpleasant.
I love weeping willows. Great shade, usually near water, and are distinct in a good way. Second would probably be baltic pine, because baltic pine forrests are easy to traverse and they have a pleasant smell. Birch is actually my least favourite. When you live far north enough you have exactly three trees around, that being Pine, Spruce, and Birch, so it isn't unusual to find patches of just birch, and in combination with how long the winters are, you have large areas of forrest that are just black, grey and white, making the bleak enviroment even more so.
Favorite tree: quaking aspen (populus tremula), but I am very fond of birch trees too. I'm sure normal people have favorite trees, they just don't know about it until they're asked 😄
Taxodium distichum (bald cypress) has got to be my favorite tree. nostalgic memories from my childhood of tripping over it's roots protruding upwards from the ground
Favorite tree has got to be the black walnut, or Juglans Nigra. It has edible and tasty walnuts and makes the most beautiful lumber when milled. Native to north america mostly in the midwest to east coast US region.
CZcams comment engagement:
My favorite tree is the Japanese Cypress(Chamaecyparis obtusa ) also know as Hinoki. Beautiful woodsy citrus with a faint pine floral smell. Second favorite is the Ironwood Tree (Olneya tesota) although there are a few other desert trees nicknamed as such. Extremely dense heavy wood that sinks in water. Nearly impossible to cut with a regular saw without burning the cut.
Excellent video as always!
I recently dove back into Valheim solo (having previously played with da boys at "launch") for the Mistlands update, and while I have downloaded a plethora of mods to improve my experience I've been rather strict about not picking up any mods that would affect combat difficulty scaling or "player power" in any way. After a fight with Bonemass that stretched on for 20~30 minutes, I believe I can safely say, this game might be a bit tough as a solo experience. ;)
However as a fan of the "long term RPG experience" (Read: MMO Nerd) I think I like the scaling. For most item tiers I feel like I actually need to upgrade my gear to the maximum to take on the next boss. However, I guess all that is about to get thrown out the window as I am now to the point of wolf breading. Soon the Plains shall fall before the might of my wolf army while I ride into the fray on a Lox.
Magic Trees are my preferred - or the Magia Arbor as its known. Got a bit hit of nostalgia when sea shanty 2 started playing! Valheim is a different kind of fun alone, but is best shared with one or two friends i have found.
My favourite tree is also the silver birch! Out here in Iceland nothing marks spring's arrival as well as that birchen fragrance
Pine. Growing up with a huge pine tree in the front yard has always made me love them. Even with all the sap.
I love the weeping willow in its natural form.
My favourite tree is Eucalyptus deglupta (rainbow eucalyptus). Especially older trees develop a really cool multi colored bark. It almost looks like a painting
Bro eucalyptus is unironically my favorite smell :)
@16:47 I literally lol'd. Good stuff, champ.
Personally I love the paperbark cherry - it’s a striking tree, and sized rather well for a small garden... if I get the chance, I’d like to grow one one day
I find solo to be easier than with a group. My group always sucks. I just find myself running around saving them.
Based
Yeah if they suck irs better to play solo. Solo is definitely fine. Most of my 260hrs was solo.
Its just *progression* is faster with multiple people.
Favorite tree is the Salix babylonica - or "weeping willow". Que: sweet, sappy (pun intended) childhood story involving a weeping willow that I won't actually tell.
blue spruces are one of my favorites great video btw
Silver birch is my favourite tree too. I'm make forrests of them in Minecraft. I'm buying my first IRL house and I'm gonna church some birch somewhere in the yard. Gonna look great in autumn.
My favourite tree is birch as well, glad to find another tree enjoyer
Ok, when the wave came up in the house and you sounded like you were drowning… that sent me. It was out of left field and appreciate learning from your mistake 😂😂 #1 rule in realestate is location
I have a favorite tree! I had one before this video. The Douglas Fir or Pseudotsuga menziesii because I was surrounded by them growing up in The Pacific Northwest of the US. They're super pretty too and smell amazing. Also the folk-lore of little mice climbing into the pine cones to escape a forest fire and now their feets hang out the cones and giving them their iconic look. 10/10 love this tree
It's nice to know your a fello tree lover. - I live by the cnanals in england and willow trees are my childhood fav's still are.
Eels up inside ya, finding an entrance where they can. Great tune
The Rimworld Music after you started farming was on point. XD
Favourite tree is probably either weeping fig, strangler fig or banyan (also a bigass tropical fig). They're just cool dudes and they have wasp buddies!
Just started this game on xbox. You make it look easy. Am ready to go after the elder tree boss but for some reason, all I really do is gather and build. I spent 21 in game days just building a nice place for me, Still need a farm and a storage area. I'll get back to progressing the game foward soon :)
You will need more space... Linen thread is a most
If you want to survive there is no better tree than a birch to help you. Its unbroken bark is waterproof, making boats and waterskins. The bark shredded is one of the best fire starters. The birch has tons of medical properties: Pain and inflammation
Infections of the urinary tract
Kidney stones
Arthritis
Skin conditions, including eczema and fungal and parasitic conditions
Cuts, scratches, and minor wounds
Rheumatism
Heartburn
Stomach ulcers
Sinus congestion
Headaches. It also makes great rope. The inner wood can be used to make edibles like bread, greens, noodles, and for flavoring.
Despite the arm twist, I wanted to inform you I find the might oak to be the world's most effective tree for construction, though I've personally minimal experience working with it. While I personally favor the grace and beauty of the weeping willow, especially during a windy storm.
My favourite tree is the Quercus robur, the penduculate oak. I am very thankful for you asking us tree-connoisseurs
Haven't watched the video (yet), but as hard as the solo experience is, it feels so good when you beat a boss. The first time I beat the Elder I used cheats in the end, and stopped playing, the second time took me hours but no cheats, the third time 20 minutes, and the fourth time only 10 minutes! I can only recommend this game.
My favourite tree is Acer Japonica. Striking red, beautiful leaves.
Ah yes, a fine tree for sure.
My personal favourite tree is Pando, a root-system sharing gestalt of millions of clones of the same Populus tremuloides tree (a type of Aspen). While no individual tree lives more than 150ish years, the organism as a whole is at least fourteen thousand (14'000) years old, but could be as old as eighty thousand (80'000) years.
Pando is largest known organism in existence, and I give it the respect and reverence such a title demands of this eldritch tree-entity, but it's not even close to the oldest. Some other, less famous, Populus tremuloides organisms have been posited to be up to 1 million years old!
Weeping Willows are my favorite tree! So pretty and wiggly
Arbutus or Western Cedar are my favourite. Always get happy to see them out of areas I don't expect them.
Rimworld music, reminded me to play that after finishing Valheim. Plains are grrr, three idols and it has been tough.
I’ve found that solo is both way easier and can be impossible; splitting loot and doing everything is tough with friends as I find myself usually getting lower tier gear and dying way more than when I have the best food, armor and weapons; the only issue is dying and retrieving death and bosses; it can also be a bit lonely and discouraging so I don’t typically play without ppl
I've done that before, although in my case it was a gigantic circle with the sea and a sea serpent in the middle, but was still a fully enclosed lake xD
7:40 i have a favourite tree and its also the birch and i love it in the game, it looks so pleasant.
My other favourite tree is the weeping willow.
Modded Valheim is best, but i heavily recommend the Stagbreaker after Eikthyr, it does AOE blunt damage so while slow, it can wreck an entire room of skeletons in about three swings and it usually staggers greydwarves after one hit. For them, I typically run in small circles until any around try to melee me and then slam with the Breaker and send them all flying and then wait for them to regroup those that survived. It's (the Stagbreaker) also very useful for clearing small brush and saplings because the area damage is enough to break bushes and saplings in one to two hits in like a two meter radius around you.
My favourite tree must be the "European Spruce", or picea abies in Latin. It's tall, pretty and smells amazing. Many fond childhood memories of those things.
Well done!
Got further than I ever did in valhiem
Then again i got distracted constantly
I love your narration... my kinda humor :D
9:03 subbed because of Sea Shanty 2. Legend
it's a certified banger.
Birch Tree is also my own favorit Tree ^^ love the White/Black texture
Silver birch was my forestry mentor's favorite tree. I like sycamores and white oaks, personally.
That waves clip sure does sum up shoreline living. Ridiculous game, but probably fun, or at least I assume that's why I'm still playing it.
Weeping Willow trees are my favorite since I was little my grandma's house had one.
jakaranda palisander would be my favorite the family tree is huge and the trees varies greatly making it really beutiful
I like Birch trees too... But the Oaks have a certain dignity to them, as such I always make sure my bases in Valheim have a big Oak and several Birch trees for aesthetics.
