Im missing one tip, which I haven't figured out yet, but fortunately a valheim pro is here :D How do you cancel the dodge animation? I see you often, while fighting a troll with a spear, that you dodge his attack and go directly to a spear attack mid dodge roll. How do you do this? Hope you can help :D
One more trick to get fine wood is to keep a look out for wrecks along the shores. They drop fine wood and can be broken down with any weapon or ax, including the stone or flint ax. And require less dancing around than using trolls. You can also fell birch by chopping other trees that fall towards them, once felled, push the birch logs against each other or other trees (does not work against stone, only other wood) and they will eventually break. Maybe not useful for speed runs, but for normal runs its a viable strategy to get the fine bow early. Also, pine trees can also be cut down with any axe, you do not need the metal one for that so core wood is easy. You can also often find camp fires with small wind breakers, they contain core wood that you can get even without entering Dark Forest.
All correct. Its interesting you mentionned the shipwrecks. In my most recent trophy hunt I actually found two shipwrecks immediately next to each other and was able to get all the finewood I needed without having to mess with any trolls. it was lovely!
Actually a good tips video! first one with consistently good tips. Every other one I’ve watched is like, eat food to gain health! Thanks guys. Groundbreaking stuff there.
really good one! I'm thinking of compiling a super niche tips that are not common in typical tip videos. I don't think I've ever seen that tip in a video before
Lots of great tips Spazzy thanks! I've been trying to progress in Hardcore mode (with x3 loot) but it's been slow going. Many of these tips will be very useful for it. Cheers!
Now, I might catch flack for this. But, I think it's more effective to build a smelter and forge out of the mats that your other wise dumping. Only because I think the time it takes to slap them down when you're already swimming in the mats is negligible. The materials for them are everywhere anyway. and you'll be able to make up the time with a real boat and you'll be able to get iron weapons. I'd even argue that the iron weapons would make up much of the half a minute it took to set up a forge with how much faster you can kill enemies with them.
Even without speed running or trophy hunting, I skip Bonemass. It sucks missing out on the power, but I find it worth it to avoid the bat raids killing your tames.
You can always just put walls and a ward around your tames to protect them from bats and then take them down with a Stagbreaker. Curious if you both feel that way about Bonemass during a fight with Fader given he is immune to all your camp fires and bon fires. I'd love to see a speed runner fight through the Ashland and take down Fader using nothing but a Fenris coat, no metal weapons/armor, and no Bonemass.
@@fortheloveofking If you just throw up basic wood walls around your tames, the bats may attack and take them down. Ward notify you this is happening with a blue pulse. Unless they've changed it in recent updates, wards protect your structures from damage from enemy creatures making the basic wood walls more durable from bat attacks. I noticed this info isn't on the wiki but is widely reported elsewhere.
@@fortheloveofking I should also amend my original challenge. It is possible to acquire and process iron, black metal, and flametal without mining at all. So, the challenge would be making it to Fader by acquiring iron in Crypt chests and using that to move up the metal tree from there.
Love how placing campfires is not cheesy, but staying on a high spot to hit the boss is. One is taking advantage of the boss AI with fire, the other uses a weapon. Who decides that a fire is not a cheese, but a wall is? Every single boss strategy is a cheese, so let's stop lying to ourselves and embrace it, we all use strategies one way or another. Let's just stop making a difference between one cheese and another.
Most recently, i used flint spear only until i had the fine and core wood to make the finewood bow. Killing with the spear throw was at best a 20% success rate.
I am for sure a builder by nature, but I love grabbing tips from different play styles. Thread turned me on to knives and unnamed portals, and also using surtling fire on abominations. I didn't even discover Thread or Spazzy until after I'd taken down Yagluth the first time. There is wisdom in taking in knowledge from other styles. :)
@@SpazzyjonesGaming it was only a problem due to my internet being trash if you make a actual server I bet it would be able to run fine just remember you will probably need to turn on PvP whenever you log back on I tried to raid one of my friends and he wasn’t able to attack me due to PvP resetting whenever you log back on
i did that with friends. We built an arena and bet with gear on fights. We elect a moderator from our group and the mod sets the rules for each fight. The fights can be anything from naked boxing to full top tier gear 2v2 fights where the winners can claim the inventory from the grave of their opponents. It can get pretty funny too.
I have been falling in love with Trophy Hunts as of late! let me know if you learned something new below!
This video certified speedrunner approved 👍👍

glad you enjoyed it! its difficult to come up with tips people haven't heard of these days
"Once done with your big blue helper, take the sucker down"
noted for my next troll raids to take down a nearby forest, hehe
Yessir!
Heck ya! Another very important tip for speedrunning is rebind the hammer to another key, so you can dodge roll with hammer equipped ;-)

best channel
been playing valheim for 3 years now
You're too kind, thanks Noppa!
good tips... Almost 10k subs spazzy! goodluck.
thanks Ghoul! almost there!
Lots of great tips Spazzy thanks! I've been trying to progress in Hardcore mode (with x3 loot) but it's been slow going. Many of these tips will be very useful for it. Cheers!
Absolutely! these will be excellent for hardcore. Glad you found them helpful!
wow, straight forward, informative, effective, cant wait to see a lets play series from you(please build a good base xD)
Appreciate you Joe!
Fan of your channel dude! Albeit is pronounced all-be-it, not all-bite. Keep on keeping on
Lolol thank you. What a silly mispronunciation
for tip 20 the freezing status effect gives you -100% hp regen so rested will only help with stamina
good point
Love your vids you really help with your tips and stuff
I'm glad to hear it John! Thank you for taking the time to say that 👊
#15.
I knew that logging out removes poison / fire / buffs, but I didn't know the portal trick.
nice! happy there was a tip you found useful
That bonfire tip is well, fire!
Hahah it sure is
I might use these in a causal play through
Exactly! I think a lot of these tips can be used whether or not you're speedrunning
I dont speedrun but I like to avoid litterally 90% of the black forest enemies by equipping a torch
Fiat enough. What I like about these tips is that they can be super useful for someone even if they're not speedrunning

I had no idea how OP the campfire is.
its crazy good!

that makes sense. in a lot of ways you're right, bonesmass is completely optional

I agree. both are cheese but personally, it doesn't matter a lot to me how people do their boss fights as long as they're having fun doing so

fair. if you don't get the sneak attack on the deer you likely won't get the kill
Tip 10= use troll the excevator
heck ya
When fighting Moder this way, throw ooze bombs at the pedestal while she is landed to speed up the process.
facts. good call
I dont really like speedruns, I have to admit. Much prefer taking my time. But then again the best part of Valheim for me is the building
Not at all saying stop or anything, do what you like, no hate at all from me.
That's fair. They aren't for everyone
All good
You can play slowly and have fun watching speedrunners

Spazzy watchu think about doing a core keeper live on saturday
not this saturday. i'm doing a trophy run practice tomorrow at 9am AST. But I do want to do more core keeper :)
@@SpazzyjonesGaming sounds great
0:52 i just realize that switching weapons/items is faster with a keyboard….i thought it would simpler with my controller boy was i fkg wrong 😂🤟🏽
oh man! yeah controller probably doesn't have the same effect
I recently did a Valheim PvP thing with some friends you should try it it’s so fun
Im interested in something like that. Did you find lag a problem?
@@SpazzyjonesGaming it was only a problem due to my internet being trash if you make a actual server I bet it would be able to run fine just remember you will probably need to turn on PvP whenever you log back on I tried to raid one of my friends and he wasn’t able to attack me due to PvP resetting whenever you log back on

nicce! lots to learn i hope!
LETS GOOOOOOO
On my first play through . I"m on yagluth. Dreading this boss more than i did the others. Great vids by the way
Yag to this day may be the toughest boss. Good luck my friend, its a tough one. Glad you enjoyed brother
@@SpazzyjonesGaming I really am, it actually got me off Destiny 2 which I was thoroughly hooked on
@@chrono2959 nice! Ive been hooked on destiny in the past
surely put the link to the trophy hunt discord in the description
My B - I had thought I did, corrected now
❤
Speedrun. Cover map in fires. Got it👍
haha facts. fire OP
after playing valheim for a bit and then apex I keep trying to holster my weapon on the key I have bound to hammer in valheim
Hahah it's hard to shake that muscle memory
I wanted a tips for the game that you learned from watching speedrumners, NOT a "How to speedrun Valheim in 24 steps" ...
Man what ? They literally all are tips learned from speedrunning. Just in chronological order
Grab a 6th Surtling core and make a ward to protect those fires during boss fights.
ooh not a bad idea
Hacks.... You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Have you ever heard of a "life hack" it's like life hacks for Valheim
what was the promised secret weapon?
the bonfire baby!
Mod review when
There it is haha
Albeit is pronounced "all be it".
hahaha man someone else pointed that out too. Egg on my face haha
@@SpazzyjonesGaming no worries. I'd be rich if I had a dollar for every word I pronounced wrong because I learned it by reading.
@@MrDaneBrammage haha i know right
Valheim mod(s) video wen?
is this kenobis alt account? haha
5
nice!
"Hacks"? Really? lol
what would you call them? its hyperbole for sure
1! Haha
niccce
all bee it = albeit 6:30
haha im such a goofball. thanks for letting me know
recently downloaded a first person mod and it makes the game feel like skyrim with friends its awesome
oh yeah I tried a first person mod a while back. I loved it!
could you do the world a favour and learn what the word 'hack' means?
have you ever heard of a 'life hack'? That is what I mean
@@SpazzyjonesGaming i don't speak gen z brain rot. this is called 'advice' to normal people
can you explain why a word triggers you like this? my mind is blown. I'm not gen Z by the way
