Atgeir middle mouse has a 6x damage to staggering modifier - the spin to win can easily stagger starred seekers and then poke city for staggerlocking them to death. Highly recommend bow, atgeir, frostner for mistlands. Also iron sledge and ooze bombs for the mines.
Glad to have found your channel; I have been enjoying Valheim way too much lately and finding other content creators for info is handy. That said I'm almost done getting my current gear set, aka Mistwalker and Krom. And then we'll start having fun and making loads more. Your content is a great test to see how I can maximize some time in game and then mess around later. Thank you.
Great, entertaining, and informative videos! Glad the algo recommended your channel. I have almost 400hrs in Valheim and have used mostly clubs, these videos inspired me to try out some new weapons. Also would love to see you try the flesh rippers out in the Mistlands, just for fun.
Thanks! I appreciate that! I will definitely be doing a full Fenris video eventually! And the flesh rippers deserve a good look. I haven't even touched them yet but I keep hearing good things! Gonna have to grind some dungeons!
The Crystal Battle Axe is an interesting variation on the axe, because the knockback on the secondary attack is so high. You can actually just keep knocking a seeker back over and over - it cannot recover fast enough to attack. So you can defeat 2 seekers at the same time (not quickly) just poking them over and over.
Thank you for this compilation! I've just recently gotten into Mistlands tier (mostly unspoilered), and was kinda struggling with the fast attacks and movements (also it's been raining constantly so my stamina was nonexistent. I'll definitely try the frostner, even if I didn't play much with it I'm sure the frost effect will be useful for me to somewhat get adjusted there.
Hey good!! Welcome to the mistlands!! I did make a much more recent guide to the mistlands that's a bit longer and more comprehensive but it is a bit more spoilery. Not for the progression though. Basically, the Frostner is by far the superior mistlands weapon before you unlock mistlands tier weapons. And it might still be better than some mistlands tier options because of the knock back. Enjoy!
Nice video! I personally use the knife with Fenris armor. Don't use a shield bcs it slows me down. Tbh, the speed makes up for everything that my char lacks. Was a bit worried before my first infested mine yday, but it really turned out to be not as bad as I imagined. Potions do help a lot, tho.
Great video. I wish you could interact with the Devergers more. I'm at a point where I been just stalling to fight the Queen because I don't want the game to be over. Wish there was some optional missions the Devergers could give you. At one point or another you always end up in a fight with the Devergers, normally by accident and they are difficult. I'm sure some people would like to see what weapons could take them out most effectively and what can block their attacks. I dislike fighting my buddies but it happens regardless. Keep up the great work.
Axes are slow in real life too. When I was using them, I thought it was no wonder that war axes were a lot thinner and had smaller axeheads. A woodsplitting hatchet is annoyingly unwieldy, but it's pretty much out of necessity. Any thinner like for a combat axe and it will not last as long when it meets any sort of resistance.
You're definitely right on the money there. If we're thinking about this as a wood chopping hatchet, those really are heavy so one handing them would be slow and unwieldy...which in turn would make me hate them as primary weapons.
Great video. Do an in-depth analysis of shield types and tactics. I always debate myself "buckler, targe, or tower" when upgrading, and end up making all three. seems each has different uses.
Yeah, my block isn't super high but it seems once it gets there, tower shields send mobs flying backwards? Oh how i wish the serpent shield was round instead of a kite shield...
Atgeirs are wonderful weapons which I swear by. Spin2win breaks mobs off of you, separating and staggering foes so you can pick one off with crit stabs before resuming your defense against the remaining enemies. It handles single combat and enemy hordes very well.
Thanks to your video about them, I've made my first Atgeir. I love it! It's a maxed out Bronze one (not enough iron, have a hard time finding Crypts in the Swamps) but it's doing great for where I'm at. Keep up the awesome videos.
I thought about that, but I kinda like the way the dirt floor looks. And repairs will be easier. But a stone floor would be much more level! I'm still considering it!
frostner and knife combo is top-tier use a frostner every once in a while to slow seekers, they wouldnt be able to turn against you so you can go behind them w a knife for that backstab bonus and the fact thatt theyre weak on their behind
Frostner and the Atgeir have been absolute lifesavers in the mistlands, but even with the Atgeir being great against the ticks and to stun even star seekers, the frostner has been the BEST weapon possible for that place, at least for me that is.
Mistlands tier weapons arent that much better than Plains tier until we can fully upgrade them. Granted we will probably get new items with Ashlands rendering them "Not The Best" anymore.
True. I like the spear though. I wouldn't say people are sleeping on spears because they honestly are pretty janky, but they're uniquely convenient like no other weapon type is thanks to the alt attack. It always feels fresh to use a spear since it attacks as fast as a knife, has great range, and can be used to invariably land hits on enemies just above or below your level.
Despite all facts and preferences, I use my silver knife - it looks like a short sword, and if sheathed - it looks even cooler because you dont wear it on back, but by the hip (as all knifes ofc)
Actually that sounded like I were using only that knife, its ofcourse not truth - using variety of weapons for different situations are my problem - as they complement each other, I suffer from limited inwentory space 😅
Nothing wrong with that at all! I love the silver tier weapons! I especially like the silver sword and made a separate video on if it was good enough for the Mistlands.
I really wish I could get into this game! It offers a lot but the problem is it's so empty! We build all this cool crap and for what? Nothing is ever attacked, bothered, the worlds are bare, its just a lifeless boss game. Unless I'm missing something.
Sometimes having an empty biome is GOOD. The plains are so dangerous that you don't even want to sail more than 50 feet away on your first visit, so finding a black forest or meadow nearby is a boon. So the empty biomes aren't nearly the issue they seem. The biggest issue I still have is how grindy the game is (especially since you can't teleport ore).
@@Thtk1d Not true at all, ever notice how sometimes deer random spook on you? Check the wind direction on the map, they will be downwind of you, aka scent mechanic :)
@@shanedog007 The scent is not relevant in Valheim. Valheim is not complete copy of real life. Haven't you ever sneak behind/beside dear or troll in downwind of you? I have a lot because there is no scent. And dear randomly spook regardless of wind, they are not supposed to stay still forever.
@@shanedog007 I have always found Deer are more line of sight. Well - noise too. But I tend to take wide circle to behind, crouch, sneak up and whammo. Short of greylings wandering up or the deer triggering it's move (or they're herding and one of them behind a tree sees you and alerts) they are oblivious as long as you don't run out of stamina. Even started a new game today didn't once pay any heed to the wind and now have a full set of deer hide and another 20 odd in a chest. Now if I could only find more boar. . .
You're giving the axe a bad go here. I don't even like the axe, but when you had a sword on, you had a shield on and you parried no problem. Then you equipped the axe and forgot where the parry button is, didn't put on your shield, and then mocked your health bar as if to mock the axe. You might as well have taken all of your armor off and told us that using axes gets you killed.
Frostner. The answer is Frostner.

Awesome, looking forward to it! Skål!
The atgeir's spin attack is the single best way to kill ticks. I found it worth using for the utility even with zero weapon skill.
I think the only contender aside from atgeirs might be sledgehammers but it’s kind of a toss up! They’re both effective in a solid 360!

"nice" like my current health!!! HAHAHA
I love this kind of "showcase" stuff btw! Keep it up! :D
Thanks! I’ve been thinking about doing an early game one but those kinda already exist from others, and are likely much more scientific.

The Gjal: "you can easily run away from them" Me: no.... no you can't.
Thanks for the analysis!
Really enjoy your videos, keep up the hard work 😊
Thank you so much!!
Losing rested buff at times like this is definitely a challenge
Didn't touch the aetgir until I reached the plains, now I never leave the hot tub without it.
Hahaha the hot tub. I still haven’t made one. Like a damn idiot.
Lets me guess. In plains you use aergir to harvest crops?
Great video. I wish you could interact with the Devergers more. I'm at a point where I been just stalling to fight the Queen because I don't want the game to be over.

I'm really hoping the devs put in some quests! It seems like they're working on things like that. I'd love to interact more with them!

@@xantishayde-walker4593 Thank you!! I'm glad you're enjoying them!!
Hey pretty cool video. Your arena could use a cobblestone floor maybe ? 😅
I thought about that, but I kinda like the way the dirt floor looks. And repairs will be easier. But a stone floor would be much more level! I'm still considering it!
frostner and knife combo is top-tier
use a frostner every once in a while to slow seekers, they wouldnt be able to turn against you so you can go behind them w a knife for that backstab bonus and the fact thatt theyre weak on their behind
Yeah I could see that being quite deadly!
"It feels weird using a shield with a knife"
The Romans wan't a word with you.
Hahaha you're not wrong...
great video. thanks for the effort
I appreciate it!! Thanks!
Thanks for the helpful info! Plus-one sub!
Frostner and the Atgeir have been absolute lifesavers in the mistlands, but even with the Atgeir being great against the ticks and to stun even star seekers, the frostner has been the BEST weapon possible for that place, at least for me that is.
Oh yes without a doubt. I made a much more detailed mistlands video recently and by far the best weapon for entering the mistlands is the frostner!
you didnt use the knife secondary attack??
Maybe the Draugr Fang could make the list as the only bow that works
Absolutely. I tend to focus on melee weapons but yeah the draugr fang is absolutely fantastic.

The weapon of opportunity! Totally reasonable.
How do we get black forge to lvl 3 ?
It’s part of the public test beta!
Frostier is not plains tier, its for mountain tier weapon!
Yeah I’m pretty sure I mention that in the video. I just checked and I literally say it in the intro. 0:29.
I really wish I could get into this game! It offers a lot but the problem is it's so empty! We build all this cool crap and for what? Nothing is ever attacked, bothered, the worlds are bare, its just a lifeless boss game. Unless I'm missing something.

When you in sneak make sure your down wind
Heeey that’s not at all something I’ve considered! Thanks for the tip!
There is no scent mechanic in the game. Upwind, downwind, none of it actually matters. It's all based on sound.
