@@wooxs55 stone foundations can only attach to certain things like ground, stone walls, and be extended out so far with iron which can become very expressive.
@@WildflowersCreations i feel like i could make something of similar size with stone and iron in a few hours time :D but i could be wrong, i haven't tried anything like this yet.
Explanation: The Stakewall has a taller hitbox than it looks, about an inch or few above it. As a result sticking them deep into the ground results in a invisible collision box but the AI can't designate it as a target because the 'coordinates' of said item piece is so far under the terrain it doesn't recognize it as being in front of it. Wooden Beams has this detail too, smoke will not pass through a cubic frame made out of wooden beams, but will pass through a chimney made of walls. Basically wooden beams seems to have the vertical or horizontal width of a half-wall.
So you could make a timber beam box frame chimney and be able to see the smoke inside? My elder temple is between the swamp and plains AND has a copper deposit Infront of it for extra room. Might be a bit far away for a completely underground base, but 2 bases linked by a corridor with palisades around it would mean I could have a separate forge under copper deposit and the living area under the temple. Although trolls could destroy the copper...
So thats why my fires go out every now and again, only to light up shortly after. Im apparently enclosing the fireplace to much i guess. I know this isnt what you uploaded this video for, but man, you have solved a major puzzle for me and my friends. ty :)
Fires need oxygen! Makes perfect sense. Man, Valheim devs thought of everything. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next as they continue updating Valheim and their future projects now that they have achieved such success. This game is more fun than anything I’ve played in a long time
Another thing to note, is that the sacrifiical fire on top of the platform also counts as a fire for rest/sleep. Just need to have your bed a bit higher up than the rest of your base, as it's just out of range if you put it on the floor.
Fire in this game makes you realize how friggin stupid Breeze Home was in Skyrim. I remember the first time I walked in the door and saw the hearth right under the wooden floor to the upstairs bedroom and thought only urbanites would think this was ok...lol... NO ONE at Bethesda EVER felt grass under their bare feet. They've lived to long in the concrete jungle.
Our elder spawn was right beside the ocean, with the trader right beside it. so we just built a base on top with a moat. The elder fire pit never runs out of fuel and can hold a cauldron and several cooking stations.
I appreciate the fact that you mentioned where you found out about it. (not many people do so). I literally watched the Let's Game It Out video before watching this one lol.
There are so many people saying, "I would of" or "You stole this from x". 1: You can build your own version of this base, this is just an idea for anyone who wants to. 2: Valheim is not that big of a game, content wise, so a lot of youtubers may very easily come up with the same ideas. Definitely base building Ideas.
It only covers a VERY small area now though. It might work in a shallow dig, but in my build (2 storeys) the fire on top only heats the middle of the room IF you are standing. Laying down in a bed asks for a fire to be present...
Mining out under The Elder is great and everything, but the most important strats from the Let's Game It Out video are to not wear armor and to attack with campfires
im glad you gave LetsGameItOut credit for the idea. immediatly after his vid i moved my main base there, though i have an ormal ramp entrance. it feels so good and cozy down there :D
skeleton surprise is the best event when ur down in the mines working on ur Underground base, hearing them run around outside and ontop of the rocks, occasionally going to the gate to hit it a few times. loads of fun
On our server, I made one of these with upgraded work stations, lots of chests for for stuff, some fermenters, a kiln and smelter, a hearth with cauldron, some beds etc, and then a portal back to main base. I call it Elder Bank. The entrance is a narrow decline with an iron gate at the bottom - I've yet to see a mob come down to the gate at all. It's great! :)
You can build a platform attached to the pillars for a portal entrance. Portal to that level placed behind the alter itself so far hasn't been touched by the Elder boss, or any mobs, and even if they did I can just rebuild the portal to the upper level, which can also double as a sniper point for the elder boss. Unfortunately the tendrils do spawn on anything built above the alter itself, but I find it is easy elder boss farming for the trophy mount for the fireplace and the offering.
I built here too. I built walls in mine. I didn't snap them directly to the side of the pit. I left a tiny gap (As I did an outline on the ground with beams). I was able to build a fireplace that worked without any smoke leakage by leaving hole in the wall behind the fire (Easily hidden too). It did start out as very smokey, but it eventually thinned out and perfect. Although if yours is close to water, it will eventually flood, but that's fine if you want to build one with an indoor pool. Just dig just high enough where it doesn't flood and then dig a hole for the pool that's deeper.
For those curious, you can't travel through portals with metals, so good luck having to re-dig and reseal your base every time you need to build with metals or move metals to your base. That's why you don't only make the way in, and out, of your base be portals. Unless you can do some kind of transfer chest under the lip of the arena, that you can still access, as a drop chest. Then you could close everything off, drop the metals, and other non-portal-able items, in that chest and portal in. I do kind of feel you should have added in a chimney on the off chance that the developers fix the smoke bug you found Firespark. Though otherwise it's a very cool base.
Portal restrictions are useless. Just put ur metal in another world, hop through the portal and grab ur metal from the other world once you’ve already passed through the portal
@@jekro274 True, yet some people enjoy playing the game without server hopping. To be honest, it feels a little cheaty since why even go through the trouble of setting up several different servers that just put you where you want them to, when you could just use the cheat menu to cheat the items in? I do understand that the game allows it, but that is one of the main reasons I would never be in a multiplayer lobby, especially pvp, with randoms.

@@thomasconrad7998 I brought a lot of metal into the base so I won't ever need any metal. And if I do there are other ways to bring metal into the base
I'm totally going to build an underground base.. This is awesome! I remember in Conan you had to find the right spot to build one, or in that one waterfall, but since you can dig in Valheim even better, you can make your own cave! I'm still trying to finish a new PC build, already bought Valheim, but won't play it till the new PC. I've seen a ton of Valheim videos/streams but this one makes me want to play the game more than any other one! You're amazing Firespark!
You can use the angled beams to build other things under the ground or into things as well, some objects has 'ground' requirements, but if it's under the ground it might count as things like campfire has a 'collision' box above it. Just don't put furnace and kilns underground where the bottom sticks out, because items are going to fall out of the world below it, and i don't think these items teleport unlike players when they clip through the world. An interesting idea is that you can dig into water levels, then use that method to make a wall of barrier to prevent mobs from walking into your dock, but a normal player can jump over.
I wonder if someone placed a furnace or kiln sticking out of a dungeon wall could they get the items produced to drop from the top of the world where the dungeons are located down to the overworld?
@@donaldpetersen2382 Dungeons and interior maps disallow everything except campfire unless you use cheats to disable that. You could in theory use cheats to warp interior then noclip.

I am not sure if this has been pointed out yet, but from what I can tell the mobs are treating the altar as "terrain" so they can "see" you the entire time you are down there. Basically the walls are sealing the "one entrance" but they see it as you being in an open hole with no altar on top.
Pretty much the only thing that makes me sad about this game is that we can’t tunnel. That and I hope they make a contiguous underground biome, but I don’t think it’s in the cards.
If Lets Game It Out and Firespark make a collab on any survival game i feel sorry for that game, Josh will come up with the wierd ideas and Firespark will abuse game systems to make it even more broken
Where was this yesterday, I just built an OP under some copper yesterday for a forward operating base for the Eldar. And as you explained doing it under other thing it can be janky af. Love your vids, thank you!
Cool idea. If the Elder platform happened to spawn near water, but not too low obviously, it would tick all the boxes for a perfect base. I made an almost raid-proof island base, except Drakes could hit it. But there was an archery tower, so stuff the Drakes lol
It's tricky to get started, but really fun once you figure out and get used to the mechanics especially with a group. Apparently the trees are programmed to sometimes (idk how often, or if they stop after the first tree death) ignore the normal physics of the game and go straight for you, especially the first one you cut down. The devs thought it would be funny, lol.
Or you could do something more fun with the mobs and let them fall through the hole, into a pit of sharp stakes built in a circle that traps them. Basically a mob farm. A local workbench allows you to repair the sharp stakes as they become damaged.
Nice video :) Could we get a full video covering smoke mechanics, minimum chimney sizes, dissipation rates and so on? A lot of folks - myself included - have made what we thought would be a functional chimney only to find that it doesn't count as open enough ventilation so the fires get smoked out
Note that this is of particular interest for those of us who want to make really decorative and pretty builds. Adding trim and detail to chimney openings seems to guarantee a lungful of smoke :(
i just watched the video from lets game it out yesterday, and the funny thing is that josh was just trolling he wasn't trying to brake the boss intently,
I built a base here back when you made the video on cheesing the elder boss. The corners make a good spot for a fire because the roof is missing there.
Not sure I want an underground base, but i may use this as my portal terminus - sealed off with two levels. Was looking for a rock island to build it on, this would be better.
Man, this place under the altar of the Elder was my 1st thought when i started to watch those vid, that you mentioned! But then in the vid he said that you cant dig under burial chambers, so i thought you cant dig under Elder's place too. Thank you for prooving me wrong! Also, that look on trolls faces XD Priceless XD
An interesting Trick someone can do is using Core Log beams to act as a short AI Tricking barrier around the perimeter of your base. if you use these beams as a bridge and keep it super narrow, mobs can't pathfind over them properly without falling down. as well as there may be ways to place spike traps midair... How about placing spike traps into narrow hallways to lure mobs to run though them but get bounced back and forth on them? basically 0.5m of standing space in the center with spike traps facing the center as it gets placed down the rows. The mobs try to pathfind through it only to bump into them. It may be possible to make moba walk over campfire to set themselves on fire somehow by finding a way to make mobs slide down a cliff into a pit or moat. Make a bonfire and put it inside a lane of pit, then take wood beams or log beams to make bridges over them, when mobs rush in groups over it, they push each other off the beams into the bonfire. Mobs can walk down slopes easily but can't run back up. Would be really fun if we test out roof pieces to find a way to make mobs slide off a terrain as they get confused and slide into a kill chute.
Let's game it out is awesome... his points of view are amazing, you two guys are a perfect balance, your its logic and his is imagination...the perfect marriage....lol
i wish i could build the boss trophy location into my town like have it as a center piece but it shows red when i go to build near it. good video i enjoyed it :)
I was wondering when someone was going to make a vid about the elder base idea. Built mine after I killed him a few weeks ago. It fills with water though since it's near the beach. Though I found two other elder spawn points....well they are pinged on the map. hopefully I will have more dig room there. Good vid mane.
@@aviv657 The mobs need to be able to get to the portal. If the place is completely resealed, this wouldn't be an issue. Also, I've never had a mob attack a portal, even when dropping them in the swamp for a quick repair hub. Not saying they wouldn't, but I've never seen it happen.
@@chuckchuckerson5364 oh that's for sure, i meant if someone wanted to make an entrance to the bunker using a portal outside, you will have to protect the portal
This makes me want to build this instead of my personal house on my group server with friends and just throw a teleporter where my house is supposed to go.
@@Fenris420 you are right, they don't. I was just talking about the possibility of them happening while you would be at it to get to your under ground base. Although the chances would be greatly reduced since you won't be there long at all. Also you need 3 utility base peices to have a raid trigger so if you don't have those then you're golden
@@Firespark81 yea I already had a pretty massive base above it before I dug out the basement, so I moved some crafting stuff under it and made some beds, I basically just maxed out the comfort there and made a portal room
I just think that's a neat trick to get short spikes to ground for a garden or road... And it prob works with other objects aswell? Perfect, more options available now.
I wonder - if you sink the palisade wall pieces into the ground like you've done - are enemies unable to target and destroy them? Because that would be some really useful info.
@@Ogrillian the location was right by my main base which would have been ideal. If i come across one where it would make a good outpost i may consider it.
@@GamezEntertainz :( I get it. If you choose to, you may plug your seed into a valheim seed generator and it'll show you the whereabouts of other options. It's an outstanding tool.
This is probably already known , you can put campfire on branches in swamp when u making a tree house , first big branch usually lets u place it. (funny how u cant put fire on the wood flore but u can put it on the branck KEK) i do think swamp can be a good starting area for like day 4 if u can manage to set up decent house on tree with some windows for leveling perks
This is cool! Could you also have an outside section above with the pillars? I'm assuming you can since you are building directly on the alter. It would have already built in supports.
@@Zorkalot if you want more of his trophies to use for decorating. :) I just do it for fun though. Also, his ranged attack is great for improving your block skill.
Dry wood doesn´t create a lot of smoke, our holiday cabin which is by far from luxurious doesn´t actually have a chimney and we never had smoke problems. I find the whole smoke situation a bit exaggerated, the only thing I have to worry about is not setting the whole place on fire and since the cabin isn´t air tight oxygen is no problem, we can´t make food inside though, would need a chimney for that. I am not a wood expert though, could be some wood is more susceptible to creating smoke.
You're right. Afaik there is some wood which creates more smoke, but it is over the top in this game. Same with the thing they put in every survival game ever: running through a campfire gives you fire damage. You can see that a lot of survival game devs actually have no idea of real survival.
Sounds like a carbon monoxide risk. Carbon monoxide alarm equivalent in Valheim would probably be tricking a boar into your base and if it dies first, time to get out lol
some day they will find your cold body inside the cabin and coroner will write carbon monoxide poisoning as a cause of death. continuous burning of anything in a closed space equals suicide of the Darwin's prize kind Stay safe and don't do strange things with your life.
@@gideonfz Well, it's a cabin, and he even said it wasn't air tight. There's obviously a risk, but I imagine it'd have a lot more to do with amount of time, space, air flow, and whether they never opened the door to go outside.
@@MortyKaiShalom It feels like we are in an iglo at night, it gets cold and the cabin is just an old hut termites have chewed on for a long time. It does have a small even less air tight kitchen. Dying of of carbon monoxide is probably the last thing I worry about, we got it for free but neither my friend nor I are well versed with a hammer so it will only get worse with time. The beauty is outside, we don´t really spend much time in that hole, the only thing it has going for it is that it keeps out the rain.
OK you GOT me. I finally Subbed, and it was because of this glitch base this is awesome. And I will change from swamp Ewok treehouses, to this woods instead, if, I can still glitch this when I get a new PC.
so if you have enough ceiling height like you do the smoke actually dissipates at the ceiling and doesn't seem to build up or bother me down on the floor, figured out i dont even need chimneys if i have high enough ceilings with big enough rooms.
Has anyone tested the low spikes for a base above ground at all? Does it confuse them, can they not break it because of how they are positioned? Would love to know! Great video as always, very informative!
got so unlucky when i was live on twitch, my day 75 world, the ancient bowl, (The Elder Spawn) is right on the coast line, dug two hits deep and hit water... rip elder base sadge

Nice video :) Could we get a full video covering smoke mechanics, minimum chimney sizes, dissipation rates and so on? A lot of folks - myself included - have made what we thought would be a functional chimney only to find that it doesn't count as open enough ventilation so the fires get smoked out
Note that this is of particular interest for those of us who want to make really decorative and pretty builds. Adding trim and detail to chimney openings seems to guarantee a lungful of smoke :(
Yes, soon
what seed was this on? most elder bases would end up getting flooded
Be neat to use the smoke mechanic to make smoked meat/fish.
i just watched the video from lets game it out yesterday, and the funny thing is that josh was just trolling he wasn't trying to brake the boss intently,
If The Elder's altar is too near the coast, then you hit water much sooner. You can still build there, but one storey instead of two.
I'm probably gonna just seal mine of and use teles to get in. Maybe turn it into a bulk storage unit that no one knows about.
lets game it out huh i see your are a man of culture!
Very clever idea and looks fun! I will try it
LETS GAME IT OUT
I built a base here back when you made the video on cheesing the elder boss. The corners make a good spot for a fire because the roof is missing there.
same, took him long enough lmao
I knew it!!! Let’s Game It Out’s Josh introduced some Valheim idea. lmao.
Flawless bunker sort of, you should make a window in middle to shoot them away with your bow, free mats for you to get after they're gone :)
Not sure I want an underground base, but i may use this as my portal terminus - sealed off with two levels. Was looking for a rock island to build it on, this would be better.
Yup, after watching your video I made a base and portal under there lol 🤣 glad to see you figured it out
You are just super helpful. Thanks for this. Subscribed!
Man, this place under the altar of the Elder was my 1st thought when i started to watch those vid, that you mentioned! But then in the vid he said that you cant dig under burial chambers, so i thought you cant dig under Elder's place too. Thank you for prooving me wrong! Also, that look on trolls faces XD Priceless XD
An interesting Trick someone can do is using Core Log beams to act as a short AI Tricking barrier around the perimeter of your base.
if you use these beams as a bridge and keep it super narrow, mobs can't pathfind over them properly without falling down.
as well as there may be ways to place spike traps midair...
How about placing spike traps into narrow hallways to lure mobs to run though them but get bounced back and forth on them?
basically 0.5m of standing space in the center with spike traps facing the center as it gets placed down the rows. The mobs try to pathfind through it only to bump into them.
It may be possible to make moba walk over campfire to set themselves on fire somehow by finding a way to make mobs slide down a cliff into a pit or moat.
Make a bonfire and put it inside a lane of pit, then take wood beams or log beams to make bridges over them, when mobs rush in groups over it, they push each other off the beams into the bonfire.
Mobs can walk down slopes easily but can't run back up.
Would be really fun if we test out roof pieces to find a way to make mobs slide off a terrain as they get confused and slide into a kill chute.
Let's game it out is awesome... his points of view are amazing, you two guys are a perfect balance, your its logic and his is imagination...the perfect marriage....lol
It's just like a colony of ants living under the sidewalk. :-)
Can I summon the boss to fight off the raid....?
I'm gonna do this right now, thank you
i wish i could build the boss trophy location into my town like have it as a center piece but it shows red when i go to build near it. good video i enjoyed it :)
ooh, we had the same idea. my last two bases my friend and I built were under elder. I like the fences around the entrance.
but now aren't you stuck with 2 trolls outside?
Yoooo, I was thinking of making a base above that stone platform because its just a permanent fire but that is awesome too.
I was wondering when someone was going to make a vid about the elder base idea. Built mine after I killed him a few weeks ago. It fills with water though since it's near the beach. Though I found two other elder spawn points....well they are pinged on the map. hopefully I will have more dig room there. Good vid mane.
I just created two new maps to test the depth before hitting water and they're both very shallow, seems less than his in the video
portal into the base from outside
Then you couldn't bring metals down but otherwise good idea.
Just transfer those metal between the worlds
Im pretty sure mobs attack portals?
So if you put the portal *just outside* you will have to keep rebuilding it
@@aviv657 The mobs need to be able to get to the portal. If the place is completely resealed, this wouldn't be an issue. Also, I've never had a mob attack a portal, even when dropping them in the swamp for a quick repair hub. Not saying they wouldn't, but I've never seen it happen.
@@chuckchuckerson5364 oh that's for sure, i meant if someone wanted to make an entrance to the bunker using a portal outside, you will have to protect the portal
Very cool. You should maybe also test if you can make a little base below the cap of a copper deposit.
You can, but unless you dig a trench or raise a wall around it - you will have trouble with the trolls
Why dont u use the portals to get in?
Love the shout out to Josh just watched his vid aswell
This makes me want to build this instead of my personal house on my group server with friends and just throw a teleporter where my house is supposed to go.
I did this like two weeks ago it's very useful
Did you fill the whole spot? I'm not sure how to fill it unless you make a portal room. There is just so much space.
@@Firespark81 Aahhh! Portals, would be a cool way to have no entrance. Although then you have to deal with raids on your portal outpost
@@elliotyoung8760 Do raids happen on outposts you're not at? I've only had raids happen on the base I'm at.
@@Fenris420 you are right, they don't. I was just talking about the possibility of them happening while you would be at it to get to your under ground base. Although the chances would be greatly reduced since you won't be there long at all. Also you need 3 utility base peices to have a raid trigger so if you don't have those then you're golden
@@Firespark81 yea I already had a pretty massive base above it before I dug out the basement, so I moved some crafting stuff under it and made some beds, I basically just maxed out the comfort there and made a portal room
I swear everyone doing this because of Josh fron Let's Ganlme it Out lmao
This was the first trick I learned in Valheim. Its always my second base.
I was curious to know if you can get trolls to fight the bosses like eikthyr. that'd make a good video idea ;)
Trolls wont fight the elder and they would destroy wealthier but if they fight I'd like to see it
12:59
Got me actin up
I just think that's a neat trick to get short spikes to ground for a garden or road... And it prob works with other objects aswell? Perfect, more options available now.
Finally did this myself yeah can be done with stone anywhere you want but takes less time doing this and is way more unique
I um, finished building on, around and under Yagluth summoning structure
That looks cool, I’m gonna build one
I wonder - if you sink the palisade wall pieces into the ground like you've done - are enemies unable to target and destroy them? Because that would be some really useful info.
You could put a portal down there and close the entrance completely.
Awesome! I'm not that far yet but an underground base sounds sweet.
This area in my world is right by the coast literally on a small outcrop in the sea. I would drown 🥲
Go by the other boss sites
@@Ogrillian the location was right by my main base which would have been ideal. If i come across one where it would make a good outpost i may consider it.
@@GamezEntertainz :(
I get it.
If you choose to, you may plug your seed into a valheim seed generator and it'll show you the whereabouts of other options. It's an outstanding tool.
@@Ogrillian will look it up thanks for the info!
@8:01 please listen with no context
You are a good man
This is probably already known , you can put campfire on branches in swamp when u making a tree house , first big branch usually lets u place it. (funny how u cant put fire on the wood flore but u can put it on the branck KEK) i do think swamp can be a good starting area for like day 4 if u can manage to set up decent house on tree with some windows for leveling perks
I saw in another tips and tricks video that you can dig down and place up, up to 16 times both directions.
This is cool! Could you also have an outside section above with the pillars? I'm assuming you can since you are building directly on the alter. It would have already built in supports.
Yes, you absolutely can! :) Just be prepared to rebuild every time you fight the elder. Lol.
Edit: I speak from some unfortunate experiences...
@@SethanderWald is there a reason to re fight him? Or just for fun
@@Zorkalot if you want more of his trophies to use for decorating. :) I just do it for fun though. Also, his ranged attack is great for improving your block skill.
Lets Game it Out is great
i would have just sealed the entrance, and used a portal....
Make it your portal hub
Dry wood doesn´t create a lot of smoke, our holiday cabin which is by far from luxurious doesn´t actually have a chimney and we never had smoke problems. I find the whole smoke situation a bit exaggerated, the only thing I have to worry about is not setting the whole place on fire and since the cabin isn´t air tight oxygen is no problem, we can´t make food inside though, would need a chimney for that.
I am not a wood expert though, could be some wood is more susceptible to creating smoke.
You're right. Afaik there is some wood which creates more smoke, but it is over the top in this game. Same with the thing they put in every survival game ever: running through a campfire gives you fire damage. You can see that a lot of survival game devs actually have no idea of real survival.
Sounds like a carbon monoxide risk. Carbon monoxide alarm equivalent in Valheim would probably be tricking a boar into your base and if it dies first, time to get out lol
some day they will find your cold body inside the cabin and coroner will write carbon monoxide poisoning as a cause of death. continuous burning of anything in a closed space equals suicide of the Darwin's prize kind
Stay safe and don't do strange things with your life.
@@gideonfz Well, it's a cabin, and he even said it wasn't air tight. There's obviously a risk, but I imagine it'd have a lot more to do with amount of time, space, air flow, and whether they never opened the door to go outside.
@@MortyKaiShalom It feels like we are in an iglo at night, it gets cold and the cabin is just an old hut termites have chewed on for a long time. It does have a small even less air tight kitchen.
Dying of of carbon monoxide is probably the last thing I worry about, we got it for free but neither my friend nor I are well versed with a hammer so it will only get worse with time.
The beauty is outside, we don´t really spend much time in that hole, the only thing it has going for it is that it keeps out the rain.
OK you GOT me. I finally Subbed, and it was because of this glitch base this is awesome. And I will change from swamp Ewok treehouses, to this woods instead, if, I can still glitch this when I get a new PC.
Finally Josh from LGIO contributes something helpful to the world
Game Devs: look at our bright new shiny game!!!
FireSpark81: Let me show you how many ways I can break it 👿👿👿
Thank you great video, also can't wait to see more of that space subnautica game.
so if you have enough ceiling height like you do the smoke actually dissipates at the ceiling and doesn't seem to build up or bother me down on the floor, figured out i dont even need chimneys if i have high enough ceilings with big enough rooms.
Has anyone tested the low spikes for a base above ground at all? Does it confuse them, can they not break it because of how they are positioned? Would love to know!
Great video as always, very informative!
I was wondering the same thing. I'm going to try putting those around my house.
got so unlucky when i was live on twitch, my day 75 world, the ancient bowl, (The Elder Spawn) is right on the coast line, dug two hits deep and hit water... rip elder base sadge
Why not build a portal on top of the pillers so you can fire arrows at the hordes when raids come? Unless it's a no build zone
