I use a bow to kill leeches, or sometimes stagbreaker if there are 3 or more in one spot. They often just sit there and let you kill them. Draugr are pretty unobservant usually, so you can often one-shot them with a bow too if they don't know you're there. If not, they are pretty easy to stagger with a parry and kill. Wraiths can be killed the same way, once you start to parry them and smash them while they're staggered they don't seem so scary. Making an elevated base is a good idea too, if you get swarmed by enemies or run into an abomination, you can climb up into the trees and shoot from above, abominations are easy to burn down with fire arrows if you are above them. And it's hilarious if you get invaded by trolls, you can sit in safety and watch them beat down on anything nearby, 2 trolls can take down an abomination and save you a lot of arrows.
I find the best way to farm iron is by following these orders: 1. Scout the swamp and mark the map for crypts. If you find four or more, then you can start the mining process. 2. Build workbench and portal on top of the crypts. Also build chests to store the irons temporarily. 3. Use only antler pickaxes since they can be repaired at workbenches. 4. If u done mining all four-five crypts that you found, secure a location at the shore of the swamp and build workbench and chests. 5. Bring all your irons from those crypts to that location. 6. Build a boat. 7. Load all the irons into the boat and go home.
I like survival games, I really do, but I'm also super cowardly in these types of game and I tend to take ages and over-prepare at the best of times XD I only barely made it to the swamps when I originally bought the game (soon after the game was first released in early access) and it 'traumatized' me so much that I ended up playing ' valheim - godmode building sim' instead for several months before losing interest for a while. Fast forward to the mistland release, and me picking the game back up to play as intended. It took me around a year irl and 125 ingame days to actually stop dragging my feet and get to beating the elder. This video has been a major contributing factor to me picking up the courage to venture back in there, thank you.
Nice video and great tips. Just to point out a few things though. 1) You will always have a "wet" debuff in the swamp. Even having patches of land that you can create won't prevent it. 2) You can dock your boat, but you have to be a bit smart about it by clearing any mobs nearby then placing a workbench. If you don't want to risk it, destroy your boat (in shallow water), and carry the pieces with you. 3) Destroy abominations as soon as you're able so you can switch to the root armour which has great poison and pierce resistance.
Thanks! 1. So I’ve heard, thanks for the info! My view is probably skewed due to too much time in dev mode… 2. Good idea! 3. That root armor is phenomenal in the swamp!
I gathered that Wraiths only spawned at night from the wiki, but the rest of the info here just helped me immensely. The swamp just roadblocked my friend and I hard last night. Tomorrow will be fun.
A good tip for blobs if you dont have a poisin resist mead is to wait for them to jump and hit them as soon as they land, they wont be able to attack you for like 2 seconds after landing
I've found that you can lure an abomination to a knocked down tree and use it to kind of get above it. You can power attack it with an axe which does decent damage and it can't hit you.
To build on the theme of swamps at night, if you find yourself stuck in the swamp as night falls, you can duck into a crypt, set up a campfire and just sit down and wait it out. Once I clear out enough crypts to get all the iron I need, I usually have found tons of chains so don’t find myself needing to farm wraiths
Mostly good advice. Better advice yet though, get gud. Jokes aside, learn the attack animations, don't bother with poison resist mead(unless you are doing the bonemass fight), make some healing mead, max out your troll gear and always keep your wits about you. Using sneaking is a good way to see if enemies are nearby, when travelling at night don't go sprinting around like a mad man, instead stay calm and always keep an eye on the sky. Dying to blobs is usually a skill issue, outmanoeuvre them and they only take a couple of hits. With Draugr, you want to do timed blocks and bait out an attack before sidestepping and then punishing, things to watch out for with them, don't pick fights you can't win, separate them when they outnumber you, reposition fast if there are ones with stars, be particularly careful around draugr archers especially higher levelled ones. Don't fight abominations full stop, play smarter not harder here, burn them in surtling geysers by abusing the ai or if you don't have a geyser just bring them to another biome like black forest or mountain and let them get beat down by other factions. For wraiths either burn them on geysers or lure them to black forest and place fires down while kiting. Do not fight leeches in the water, EVER, use a mace and do upper cut(power move) close to water's edge, usually one shots them, either that or shoot them and last choice is stagbreaker them a few times. Oozers can be a pain, positioning is basically everything. Sneak archer archetype also works well in swamps, tanks in heavy armour typically suffer most here, as you need to be mobile and be able to remove threats quickly. Eikthir power is really useful but not mandatory. Finally, never let your stamina run out and make sure you have a balanced diet that will allow you to take a couple of hits and enough stamina to get out of harms way. I often spend several days in the swamp at a time in only troll gear with a bronze mace and a few bits of cooked food, it can be a tough biome if you aren't aware of your surroundings, quite oppressive at times, but if you just get better you'll find it rather safe compared to ice caves, mountain or mistlands.
Great video. Excellent tips. Boat docking in swamp is not ideal (tho sometimes unavoidable), but can be managed if you raise the ground shallow enough depth to retrieve your boat materials if necessary.
You don't have to choose between surtling farm and abomination killer. You can keep the water shallow enough to run on, while still auto-killing surtlings for you. Also, the fire geysers can kill wraiths neatly. So, if you have one nearby, swamps can be safe at night. Docking your boat in the swamp might be necesaary if all the nearby biomes are either plains or more swamp. Just be sure to intentionally beach it, so that you can destroy it and get all the mats back.
Good tips, I will have to try the geysers for Wraiths next time! Definitely might get stuck docking the boat in the swamp sometimes, good plan to make sure you get those nails back!
I feel bad I had to cheat a bit to go through the swamps. On Xbox1s it lagged so bad in the swamps. Only the swamps though. I couldn't play. Idk why. Sure it's not next Gen but I play so many other games with better Graphics like Atomic heart, Dying light 2, RDR 2 and never got lag. Also the best Armor you can get is Troll Armor 3 or Bronze 3 and they are way underpowered for the swamps especially Solo. I lost 4 sets of troll and Bronze Armor and spend day's trying to get them back but they were swarmed with enemies. I love really hard games but between the terrible Lag and stuck I had no choice. The lag was so bad I couldn't Perry anything or time anything. If the Devs fix a few thing's I think the game will be a Masterpiece. Great video.
The game has had performance issues in the past even on PC, but they have improved, so hopefully XBox gets better. I will say that troll armor is my preferred gear for the swamps by far!
@@quicksandriggs I got it working perfectly. Anyone playing on Xbox1s need's to Uninstall and play through the Cloud. Now it runs perfectly. Glad I tried because as much as I liked the game I was about to quit. That Lag was unbearable. The Console can definitely handle the game it's just not Optimized for the 1s yet.
I love being new to a game and just experiencing most of it, obviously looking up tip videos now and then. I remember seeing ‘the forest is moving’ and getting clobbered like 15 times. Just for the crow to appear and tell me to build defenses. Like thanks for the tip, a heads up would have been better though.
Another reason to leave boats out of the swamp: archers. Draugr archers don't swim, they walk on the bottom of bodies of water and will get under your boat and shoot it. Also, wraiths can show during the day in certain buildings they inhabit. All it takes is a darker sky like a thunderstorm for them to leave it. Keep that in mind if you're just sailing by a swamp during a storm.
Draugr are pretty easy to deal with when they are alone. Just force the attack, step back so it won't hit you and strike back. You can run circles around an Abomination. Just watch out the wipe attack, that one you got to roll. Wraiths are also pretty easy just roll into them. Groups are a pain as one dodge is exactly not what you want to do against the other mobs.
Yes, swamps CAN be conquered. How? You make a base on top of these indestructible trees and you're invulnerable from anything, even invasions! Remember, mobs can't climb stairs. By the way, it is always raining in the swamp you can't evade that. The hoe still helps though, as it makes terrain more passable (though it may be harder to farm leeches that way).
I started playing recently and I have two bars of inventory filled with food and weapons. I haven’t come across anything that is light enough to carry a lot of so it makes sense I always have multiple weapon types I thought everyone did this.
There’s quite a bit of important resources that are light, I always feel like I’m running out of space before I reach the weight capacity, so every slot really matters to me.
I’ve only ever seen them at night, but I just read the wiki and it claims they have rare one time spawns near abandoned huts in the swamp and those can happen during the day… Might be it.
Evidently it is always raining... I have done a lot of testing both in and out of dev mode, so periodically when I would go into the swamp it was still set to clear skies because I had been doing tests with the weather earlier and until this video I never put it together that dev commands was the reason it was not raining sometimes... :P
biggest reason i hate the swamp is rain i actually like rain makes it more peaceful / noce on ears but i play one xbox 1 still so it lags my game so bad
Personally troll hide is my favorite in the swamp because of the speed and stealth. If it isn’t working for you I’d definitely try to get Wolf armor if you are able to acquire that early. Bronze still seems pointless to me, the armor increase over troll is negligible.
Just make a 2nd world. Your character keeps everything in his inventory when you log out and switch worlds. Don’t progress at all in the world and make it your home base. You can build anything your character has learned. Keep everything you don’t want to lose there. Simply pause and logout if you get in trouble, go to your home base world, heal up, repair, and head back to the fight. Rinse and repeat. You can’t die. Guys, seriously. I’m a noob. Why am I the only one to know this?
Swamp is easy mode....mountains and plains are for the hardcore. I actually haven't been to the recent mistlands and judging from the difficulty difference of the swamp and mts and plains...I'd say bring a nuke with you.
No matter what you are doing or what biome you are in, Always and I mean ALWAYS have a portal nearby, that way you can get back home to offload when your full and get back easily for a corpse run if you die. when it's time to move on you can simply bring the portal with you and set it up in the next area.
lul, I had been trooping around the game in the dark forest and the meadows for most of my time until I was like you know what let's go to the swamp. Then I got wrecked many times without potions. I sat there, crying, making unforgivable noises at the deaths I tried to endure. I should have made all the mead stuff, but I didn't. I kept forgetting, even though a friend was like yeah make those. I was like okay let's go in there every single time.. Yeah..once I got the mead, once I actually watched around me and prepared better, I survived better. Also parrying does work and in the beginning I was like no I wanna use big shield, but really..it does help to use a shield you can parry with if you can learn how to do it. I've still died, but it's been considerably less than before lol.
Build a earth pillar and place bonafire ontop as a beacon, cut down small trees to improve line of sight. Build beds above crypts
Good tips!
All very good advice.
Good tips, but what is the benefit of beds above crypts ?

You can safely attack an abomination from atop a sunken crypt. You can melee if it's close enough or just shoot 60-70 arrows.

I sat there, crying, making unforgivable noises at the deaths I tried to endure. I should have made all the mead stuff, but I didn't. I kept forgetting, even though a friend was like yeah make those. I was like okay let's go in there every single time.. Yeah..once I got the mead, once I actually watched around me and prepared better, I survived better. Also parrying does work and in the beginning I was like no I wanna use big shield, but really..it does help to use a shield you can parry with if you can learn how to do it. I've still died, but it's been considerably less than before lol.
Parrying is probably the most important skill in the game!
It's Black Forest. There is no "dark forest" in the game.
its really not that hard my biggest tip is to learn to parry draugrs cuz they hit heavy if you have bronze armor
Parrying is definitely important!
