Valheim Wiki First Days
Shelter, Rested, first foods, and the route to Eikthyr without corpse-running yourself into the dirt.
Enter the Meadows →Eight biomes · Eight Forsaken · One road north
Biomes & Progression
Meadows → Deep North. What each biome gates, what to bring, and when you are actually ready.
See the route →The Forsaken
Summon items, arena prep, weaknesses and Forsaken powers from Eikthyr to Kall Fimbulbringer.
Face the Forsaken →Mead & Food
Health vs stamina stacks, best meals by tier, meads that save runs.
Fill the cauldron →Building
Stability colours, core-wood spines, smoke, comfort, and halls that do not collapse.
Raise the hall →Ward & Walls
Raid tiers, stake walls, earthworks, and portal hubs that survive the night.
Raise the ward →Combat
Parry timing, stamina economy, pierce/blunt/slash, and not dying to Deathsquitos.
Steel yourself →Boss Loadouts
Loadouts that work: food, mead, weapon, armour, and Forsaken power for each altar.
Next Forsaken →Deep North
Mistlands mist, Ashlands fire, Deep North frost — keys, foundries, and Kall.
Push north →Viking Quick Ref
One-page tables: boss order, portal rules, resistances, and “never forget” tips.
Open the map →Mods (Brandan's stack)
24 pinned packages — EpicLoot, Armory, portals, ships, castles, and the QoL that runs the dedicated server.
