Welcome to MojoPlays, and these are the 10 Things to Know Before Playing “Valheim”. In case you haven’t heard, “Valheim” is the newest survival game where players can live out the viking afterlife of their dreams! Of course, your journey will not be easy, so we’ve come with a handful of tips to help ease your way into the game. Got any other tips you veteran players would like to share? Sound off in the comments below!
Kick In Your Minecraft Instincts
As soon as you drop into “Valheim”, you’ll be greeted by a crow who informs you of a few basic features. However, you should note that like with any survival game, you are on a timer. And so, you shouldn’t waste too much time trying to get through every little tutorial segment, not yet anyways. It’s time to kick in those “Minecraft” instincts, and we all know the first rule, right? Yes! Start punching some wood and gathering resources! Get enough materials to craft some clothing so you don’t wind up freezing your character to death at night. Oh, and try to find shelter at one of the pre-built homes before you go trying to tinker with the building mechanics. We’ll get to that in a bit!
It’s All About the Stamina...and Food

Just about everything you do in “Valheim” will require Stamina, whether that be building, running, jumping, swimming, or even sneaking. Yes, it’ll be a pain in the butt at first, but there are ways to improve your abilities. For starters, some foods will increase your health and stamina, turning the hunger meter into more of a mechanic rather than another meter to babysit. Just be careful about swimming across anything bigger than a small river as it is possible to die from swimming. That’s right, you can literally die from swimming if your Stamina isn’t up to snuff. Also, keep your selection of food diverse as you cannot eat the same thing consecutively. Besides, no one can survive off of eating ONLY raspberries!
The Bare Necessities

It can be easy to get overzealous and start chopping down every tree within ten yards of your original spawn point. However, you should focus on keeping things simple during your first few hours with the game. As we said before, focus on getting clothed, armed, and find a temporary place to keep warm. Even after your first day, you should only be gathering things that are absolutely necessary. Don’t go building a flippin’ mansion or clubbing every hostile mob you encounter - that’s for later. Get your bearings by focusing on simple tasks - build a simple hut, a campfire, and craft a couple basic tools. Slow and steady wins the race!
No Borders!

While it is ideal to follow the tutorials and take the time to grasp how “Valheim” works, there aren’t really any restrictions placed on you. The second you drop into the world, you can derail and go do your own thing if you want. There are no invisible walls, no fenced off areas - just you and the Nordic world. You wanna go climb a mountain without the proper gear? Go for it. Wanna challenge a giant troll to fisticuffs? I mean, we wouldn’t recommend it, but what’s stopping you? You have the freedom.
The Way the World Works

As you explore the world of “Valheim”, it’s important to observe and learn about how your world looks. We aren’t just saying this because you should know the lay of the land, but also how the land works. Every resource spawns under a particular set of conditions. Some areas may end up serving as great spots for farming leather or food. We were able to settle ourselves in a small valley where a handful of boars would spawn, allowing us to quickly craft leather attire. So, take note of where things are as you venture forward.
Use All the Things

Food can be a great way to temporarily increase health and stamina, but it isn’t the epicenter of improving yourself. “Valheim” utilizes a skill system focused on repetition; simply doing actions will generate XP and eventually improve your performance. (Yeah, it’s pretty much like “Skyrim’s” skills.) Don’t worry - it won’t take long! We were actually able to get our stats at modest levels before our third day. So, don’t worry about spamming moves just to rush through progression - you’ll get there at a more than a reasonable pace.
Repairing & Building
As we mentioned earlier, you will need to seek shelter in order to endure the cold nights. At first, you may have to resort to lodging in a decrepit building or tent, but you will be able to build a workbench after you collect enough wood. You’ll then have to craft a mallet, which will then, in turn, grant you access to all the building essentials. Again, don’t go building a palace! Gather enough supplies to build a simple hut. Oh, and if an item of yours isn’t in tip-top shape, you can easily repair it, and the best part is that it doesn’t cost ANY materials!
A Life of Comfort
10 Things To Know Before Playing Alan Wake 2
Whereas many survival games make sleeping more of a mechanic, “Valheim” currently keeps it optional, allowing players to skip time once the night cycle begins. Yes, you can explore and fight to your heart’s content, but sleeping does have its benefits in “Valheim”. Sleeping will give you the Well Rested buff, which increases both your health regeneration and stamina regeneration. It is possible to increase the duration of the buff, too, and it all depends on how you’ve built your house. Certain aspects of your house will increase your Comfort level, thus increasing how long you get the Well Rested buff. So, make home improvements when you got the mats to spare!
Hidden Photo Mode?

Why, yes, “Valheim” DOES have a Photo Mode? It may not be one of the most visually impressive games on the market, but you might be able to capture some beautiful shots! Heck, we were able to find a few cool angles just as we were dropping into our world. Simply press Control and F3 to disable the HUD, and you’ll be able to snap screenshots without any menus in the way. So, if you come across something pretty in your world, you’ll have an easy way to capture it!
Yes, You Can Cheat
10 Things to Know Before Playing Marvel's Spider-Man 2
This isn’t really much of a surprise considering the game is on PC, but it is possible to cheat in “Valheim”. We aren’t talking about exploits and glitches, though. Nope, it’s actually a similar method that many other games on Steam have - bringing up the console command. Use it to instantly give yourself items, stat boosts, all the good stuff. Keep in mind you won’t have access to this in multiplayer, but if you’re struggling in progression, don’t be ashamed to break the game a bit...or a lot. Hey, survival games aren’t always easy for everyone!
