To be clear, the 'Draugr Elite Trophiesâ' are dropped from Draugr 'elites' and different from the standard Draugr trophies. If you keep killing the Draugr elites they will eventually drop the Elite trophy.
hi eso do you know if you will stream anytime soon???
They have purple eyes (if you can't see the name.)
Any live videos upcoming soon?
Can you make a video on how to unlock the lox cape
There are spawners in the swamps, find one that pops out elites and farm it.
Highly recommend getting the Megingjord from the trader before doing ANY kind of big mining expo. It grants an extra 150 in carry weight and doesnt take up an armor spot. Just an Inventory space.
Megingjord takes you to the next level for sure. And its cooler than a backpack item
Players should get pretty much everything from the trader. The belt you mentioned is the absolute must-have among these things, since it is the only way in the game to increase your carrying capacity. Without it, you will have a very bad time as soon as you put on iron armour or anything above that.
The helmet is not so much a must-have, but a cool gadget if you want to farm stuff at night, since it's basically a torch without needing a hand. It's perfect for farming black metal with a pit trap, though.
The fishing rod along with the bait allows you to farm fish, which you can use to cook high quality stamina food very cost-efficiently. The only thing better than that in terms of stamina would be serpent soup, which is way more difficult to farm and it shouldn't be consumed for everyday things.
The Ymir meat isn't actually that good for late game in my opinion. As I mentioned in another comment, I highly prefer the Black Metal Atgeir over the Iron Sledge in terms of aoe. Until you have access to Black Metal, though, the Iron Sledge is by far your best option and Ymir meat is also an ingredient for the Frostner one-handed hammer, which is a blunt silver weapon with frost damage and therefore probably your best choice for a one-handed weapon until the black metal tier in multiplayer and arguably the best melee weapon in the game for solo players.
Finally, the Yule hat is a goofy looking Christmas hat. I'm sure I don't have to explain why this is the most important item in the game.
Worth noting that you canât have megingjord and a wishbone equipped at the same time.
@@dg4720 nor the circlet and a helmet.
@@GodlordBazi I like how you call it Ymir meat lol
I got addicted to this game bro. Help
Fucking same
3 days 21 hours played help
Me too. Best 2021 game
Imao same
Seriously, same.
Thank you for the video, I'm a solo player and it's great to get ideas and help from others who are farther along.
If you can find a merchant early enough, it's totally worth the 30 iron. Makes clearing crypts 1000% easier when you can just aoe slam slimes or draugr through the walls and scrap iron piles.
Great vid. This game is so fun whenever me and my friend play we play for like 12 plus hours and feel like the day only has 4 hours so fun
Yea right?!
The reason you could only buy one at a time is that you needed a spare inventory slot
Thanks so much for yout tips.
This one really saved me a lot of time. I had no idea that i can sell the rubis to him (i was wondering what i can do with them, already have almost 80 of them.
Your vids are really really helpful, thanks so much for your work.
Your videos are great! I appreciate all the help you're giving me!
It's also funny how you pronounce the Nordic sounding names like Ymir, like it started with a J :P
Thank you Danny for the vid i love your coverage of valheim this games amazing lol
Worth noting, you can use it to find Silver in the Mountains before beating Bonemass.
I did, and have no regrets. Bonemass was a sinch in full Silver equipment.
Also, you use Stagbreaker to do the same thing.
Gotta have an Iron Pickaxe to mine the Silver veins, though.
I've found a great seed with swamp on the starting island. It has a swathe of black forest separating it into two parts, on the coast is the trader, where I've built my base, to the south are a troll cave, greydwarf spawner, body pile, and a crypt...to the east is a tiny strip of plains biome.
So, the Draugr kill the greydwarves and Fulings occasionally get gutsy and come at me while the trolls stroll through every now and again.
It's been a non stop battle since I landed. đ
Some form of compact base would be nice. Compact easy to use and easy to build with support for all the things needed to be succesful
7x12 lvl ground place flat beams on ground with 2 additional rows one flooring space away from each other in the middle and place long ways.
Place all walls around then half walls leave a space for a door but make it a gate and place beams on either side before placing the gate. Count six spaces from one side of your house and place a a beam right before it do the same from the other end. Place your roof tiles make sure to leave a hole in the middle above the beams in the middle they should be 3 beams high attach angle roofs to them. You have enough room for all of your crafting and storage needs.
Quick Tip - The reason you couldn't buy more than one Item (that counts for crafting stackable Items aswell), is that there's currently a bug where you have a full inventory (= no slots empty), and even though you theoretically have space in a not full stack, the game thinks you can't fit it into your inventory. Just drop one item to clear a slot, that way you can buy / craft without a problem.
Aye thanks for the help boss just got to the forest. This game is dope
Not gonna lie, that money bag icon came up and I got scared thinking it was a mini boss haha. Thanks for the video!
Earned my subscription your content is good
You need to defeat bonemass now in order to unlock ymir's flesh from the merchant.
Thank you for this! I literally went sailing all night to find the trader just to be disappointed to find he didn't have any ymir flesh to sell. Was wondering when to check back.
ohhhh thanks for saving my time lol i wanted to craft it to defeat bonemas lol i guess not!
I just bought Ymir's flesh without defeating bone mass, but it did not give me the recipe.
3:35 they fixed this problem ;) genius team behind it! Great content game! love it :D a bit of a struggle in the beginning, especially if you die, but if you learn how to not die, you will fall in love :p THIS GAME HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL! ( I am silently hoping for clan pvp's in the future where teams have to battle eachother ) It can govery wide my creativity is going wild with this game
I'm at the swamp boss ready to go to the mountain, is it worth getting before Frostner ?
If you're worried about crowds. The aegir (polearms) are REALLY GOOD for crowds because of the secondary attack. It's a spinning swing that has pushback. And the pole arms are better for killing Lox and trolls because of the slashing damage. The two handed hammer is good. But I wouldn't go as far as calling it the "best 2h" in valheim
I don't know why I prefer to receive instructions from a person with an English accent, but here we are.
My drauger keep spawning in those big rocks next to the spawns and getting stuck lol killed about 20 drauger elite but no trophy yet
IF you destroy body piles do they respawn? Do monster spawn points respawn on maps or not?
You are doing great. When's the next video coming out? Thumbs Up đ
is there not a silver variant of the 2h Sledge? Also i got stupid lucky and my spawn in Island was massive.. multiple biomes and the merchant was maybe 2km away from it.
Don't know if anyone else knows this but if you sleep through the night when you make charcoal or ingots in the smelter and kiln it rapidly completes them while you sleep over the passage of time.
That is very helpful, thanks :)
3:40 u cant buy more ymir flesh when ur inventory is full. The game cant stack already existing items in ur inv.
I noticed it does that when I try to craft arrows. I would have one inventory spot open, I would make a batch of 20 arrows. Those arrows then fill the last slot. When I try to make a second batch, it will not stack the arrows. Tells me my inventory is full.
@@bhippler100 Probably a fail safe to prevent players from making expensive shit and just having it vanish into the void. Just because their inventory was full.
I got my trophies by accident when i stepped outside a swamp biome to a neighbouring meadows biome. I found an abandoned village filled with draugr spawns and many elites and eventualy got 2 of them
The inventory thing is because the game doesnât allow you to craft/buy if your inventory is full, even if what youâre buying/crafting is the same thing. Iâm sure theyâll address this in future updates though itâs just minor inconvenience
Can the hammer destroy rock ? Like iron tin cooper and other.
do the heads drop in the underground spawners, killed a good 20 eliet and didnt get a single head, spent a good 4 stacks of arrows and still in early game so was an exspensive run with no head to show :(
Won't mobs destroy the portal if i place there?
does upgrading save this thing? the level 1 sledge kinda sucks
I crafted the Iron Sledge and... itâs nice but you wonât use it for long. Realistically, I mean.. maybe against weaker mobs, sure youâd destroy 100s at a time.
But itâs more of a trophy item. Itâs flashy, pushes enemies back a little, cool animation.
However, Frostner is about as easy to craft...
And it slows enemies down, lowers their stamina/staggers them for more critical hits, causes DoT on undead... deals frost damage.
Both require Ymir Flesh.
What's the best 1hand and shield?
ESO must be so happy he's playin and earning in this game which technically has the same gameplay and type of content as Skyrim, which is not releasing anytime soon.
Congrats ESO
Question though, I unlocked a recipe for a 2h frost hammer that uses silver and Ymir flesh... but I havenât gotten a chance to compare the two since I donât have the recipe for the iron hammer. Do you know if the iron is still better? Or is it just a damage type difference?
Its actually one handed and has no are damage. Its still fantastic as a one handed blunt weapon though so I highly reccomend it.
@@ESOdanny ah ok! That's my bad the recipe looked a LOT like a 2h hammer so I figured it was! Thanks!
I want to use this against bonemass, just to see how fast of a fight it could be compared to using the iron mace.
found the shop on 2 seeds now, both times were placed in close proximity to the elder boss spawn
Yep I had the same close to elder spawn in black forest
It wouldn't let you purchase more than one because you had a full inventory with no slots. Even tho you had ymir flesh it is bugged to think you have no space in your inventory.
Verry well sir : )
What seed is this i have the same one it seems on my dedicated server
Is it possible to get the world seed?
Nice!
What that item on your 7th slot?
Well, in terms of aoe, I kinda prefer the Black Metal Atgeir. Its special attack (middle mouse button) has a smaller radious, but it has better knock back, quicker attacks, consumes less stamina and does a fuckton more damage. The max version of this weapon will oneshot even higher leveled enemies in the plains biome, something the iron sledge is no where near capable of and due to the sledge's slower attack speed, you also risk getting swarmed by fulings, which still can kill you in a few hits even in max level flax armour.
The Black Metal Atgeir is also a lot cheaper to craft and upgrade and the mats are way easier to farm, since you can simply build a pit trap for fulings at your plains outpost and shoot them from a safe position, if you terraformed yourself one before. The ores they drop is pretty much all you need for the Atgeir.
The only problem is the atgeir is absolutely terrible on uneven terrain
Is the iron sledgehammer stonger than Frostner?
You just need an extra free inventory slot when buying items from the merchant. So 2 free slots to begin buying.
spaghetti code :D jkjkjk
@@romskuu4434 Yea it likely is haha
Just finished crafting this and then maxing it out. RIP 22 ancient bark, 120 iron, 16 ymir flesh and a draugher elite trophy. Just prepping for the swamp boss.
After i bougth one ymr flesh it stopped showing so i couldnt buy any
the merch in my world spawned next to mountain biome I lack forest in an island that is big and has plains and I think patches of swamp and meadows
It says 80 parry force and 2X parry bonus which means I should be able to parry any hit dealing less than 160 damage but still I cannot parry fulings and deathsquitos, wtf am I doing wrong? preventing meaningless advises: the timing is perfect
I still like silver shield and frostner right now, though 2h hammer still seems fun
Honestly from my experience, it's better to have a one -handed weapon and a good shield for parrying potential. I use a blackmetal sword and blackmetal shield, it's extremely good against most enemies. However, the frostner is very good in the plains against the goblins. So if I were you, I'd stick with the frostner for fighting those guys. The hammer might still be cool to craft just for fun though
Nice
I just got the hammer and upgraded it fully. Itâs like a nuclear bomb. Itâs insane.
found the merchant on the first island we landed on lol was right next to the second boss
Poor little fellow, he was just north of my very first camp last direction I went exploring but a 3-5 min run
could you make a guide on getting better food consistently for the early/mid/late game im at a point where berries and cooked meat are not going to be enough, love the guides so far!
The best thing to do is to craft a cauldron. The cauldron will give you access to much better food, like sausages you get from entrails from the drauger drops.
@@kylerschenk520 thank you!
yeah get cauldron....early food is probs carrot soup (3 carrots 1 red mushroom) and Sausage as mentioned (meat, entrails and thistles)
Iâd be so mad if in the future the devs donât put mjolnir.
they basically did with Frostner
Leviathan axe from GoW
would be cool if you had to kill Thrymr to get mjolnir bcs he is a giant who once stole the hammer
I hope they add interactive Norse gods into the game at some point. That would be amazing.
I wouldn't want to steal Thor's hammer.
You could only buy 1 at a time because you didn't have a free space in your inventory. The game requires 1 empty space even if you already have an item in your inventory, because of overfill. It probably wouldnt drop the item to save them programming time, it would delete the overflow of items, thus they dont let you get items without space. Same thing happens if you try to craft more arrows with a full inventory. Have to drop something.
Honestly I prefer this weapon over my own Iron Mace when entering the swamp or mountain biome. Itâs just so damn annoying being jumped by multiple draugers + skeletons or a pack of wolves at the same time. Given that the mace is shorter and has less of a stagger, it consumes way more stamina in a drawn out fight. Which in this game stamina management is way more key in fights than in dark souls since the regeneration feels slower. Increasing the stamina bar is also dependent on food consumed, not levels. But the hammer easily staggers multiple enemies allowing for just enough regeneration to execute a second slam. To me that is crucial between life or death. I wouldnât recommend this for all battles though as a weapon + shield is more efficient for parries and block damage. And before you say it, yes Iâm aware stamina potions exist. However, the stamina potions feel mediocre at best and I would rather save my inventory space for other items/loot
tasty meads are great stamina regen pots.
@ESO 3:52 when talking about only being able to buy one at the time, i believe its because your inventory is full. It's a little weird sometimes but if inventory is full you can really add things to stacks in certain situations.
can i use anyones server to use your trader?
got the ymirs flesh but the recipe wont unlock anyone know why?
DAMN YOU ESO!
Iron Sledgehammer = hits with the force of 1000 suns.
Smash that like button with the force of a thousand suns.
So what'd i do?
Now i need a new phone....
i can only smash that like button with the force of my finger clicking on my mouse, but ill still smash it
By me hes Not selling that stuff to me how can i get the Item ??
Is the iron sledge no longer available? Git the components and Frostner came up, but no iron sledge.
Do you have the elite draugr trophy?
Dam it I just bought the iron mace and got it up a level to 60 odd now I want the sledgehammer
My starting island is massive, had merchant just south of spawn, and swamp just south of merchant
Share the seed!

ESO - I saw that icon and did not know what it was thought it was a pot of gold so when i went there and I was like who is this guy.
Trader was by the 2nd boss for me đ€Ł soo lucky I didn't have to look around too much
I've seen a few say that, but he was absolutely nowhere near the 2nd boss in our game. 2nd boss spots are in NE and SW, he was in far NW.
Is this better than frostner?
Just to be clear, there is a difference between drauger trophies, and elite drauger trophies. You did a great job explaining how to do get it, but when you got the trophy in the video, it was a drauger trophy, not an elite. Otherwise, great video! I love them, and Iâm trying to get the elite drauger trophy myself! đ
You are 100% correct, that edit was a mistake. But the draugr elite head trophay is just dropped from the elites and that is where you find them =D, so if you keep killing them you will eventually get one.
@@ESOdanny No problem! Just didn't want anyone to be confused!
This game has infinite possibility for expansion, could keep it so fresh for years to come, such a good game and it's only the beginning of it
I just randomely found the merchant without looking, Iâm so lucky
200 days in and haven't discovered the merchant đ„
I feel your pain. If i was you i would just make worlds until you find one near spawn. I think it would be cool if you could build the trader. They need to make the trader easier to find, just remember the trader is always in the black forest.
PSA: Trader is in a black forest NEAR 2ND BOSS! Goodluck.
I found him easy to spot at night, you can see the big blue glow of his shield dome, BUT you have to get lucky enough to wander that close to see the glow. I saw if from my ship while sailing.
@@sneakysnickersnoopy but the elder can spawn in multiple places. How do you know itâs close to him
@@floreamaria5855 players have been noticing a pattern. Find 2nd boss, search continents nearby with black forests and haldor is usually in there. All my friends worlds have had this same pattern repeated.
Still waiting on that bow link...
"You can only buy ymir flesh from the secret merchant"
Me: "Guess I'm never getting the iron warhammer, because I can't FIND THE DAMN FOREST HOBO!"
Get a bunch of food, build a boat (not a raft) and trace the islands it will pop up on the map when you sail by it on the coast, takes some time unless you get lucky but it will be an island moderately close to your starting island north south east or west LOL
sry do i miss where the recipe is from/or drop ???
Have to touch the Ymir flesh
I got real lucky and the trader was literally the next island over. It took me all of 5 min to find.
What's your seed
Please share your seed and his location
@@michaellorow5479 trader is 5 minute walk south on seed 42069lolxd
I thought that frostner was better because it has frost and spirit damages, is it true?
I'd say it depends. Frostner is more of a 1v1, this hammer seems to wreck crowds.
Not at all a criticism, but for anyone interested
You should pronounce "Ymir" more like "Eemer" sort of rhymes with "Screamer" (which i mention because Ymir is the proto-being (first living being), its name means Screamer as it screams itself into existence according to norse cosmogenesis)
Follow up for any still interested
When Odin and his brothers kill Ymir, they take his corpse and fashion Midgard (Earth) from it. using his bones to make mountains, his blood to make oceans and rivers, his hair to make grasses and trees and hauling his hollowed skull high above to hang the stars, sun and moon in, this skull is held aloft by 4 great dwarves named Nordri, Sudri, Austni and Vestni (North, South, East and West)
Mate, I have one question why you got painted sail on your boat I got white? đ€
Its a style choice when your crafting the item you can do same with wooden shield also
cuz u have smaller ship
@@shadowstep420 how?
@@KodyXXVll you select it under the tab where it says style when you make the item you click on it
I got so addicted to this game please help I have my finals coming up too đ
Same bro
How do skills work into this?
Basically, the more you use a type of weapon, the more you will level it up. You'll slowly deal more and more damage with a weapon as you use it
I love how my spawn is like a 2 min run to the west
Extra tip(and cheese): Use world seed: "Hu2N5rgDT5" Merchant located south east on starting island. You can take your jewellery and such in your inventory, load up the world, sell and take what you need and go back to your normal world. It's a cheese but it's very helpful for those searching for 20+ hours with no luck.
I bought the ymirs flesh but it didn't unlock new stuff and i have everything else :/
Same here .. must be something else that unlocks it.
Like many of you, I have what I thought was all of the items to unlock the recipe, however my Drauger trophy is NOT an Elite trophy. Time to go find one.
Got the elite trophy, recipe now shows in the list. :D
Hope they end up having end game bosses that are the actual Fenrir, Loki,
Jörmungandr(the midgard serpent), Surtr(the fire giant) and maybe Thrymr to unlock Mjölnir bcs he once stole it from Thor
probably will happen but not soon enough đ we have some minion versions of some of those like: surtings, fenrings
Sweet
my shop doesnt have the ymir parts. any idea?
i have the same problem at this moment,frustrating
apparently you have to BEAT bonemass before it gets added to the shop

Any skyrim videos soon? Just became a member. :)
Skyrim - If we arent doing it there is a reason, Skyrim has had 9 years of content, after that it gets rather dry of content so we move on to other things :)
Merchant appears once your within like 1 or 2kms its pretty far away.
