I just wanted to mention that while I was making this video, I passed 1000 subscribers, which I was super super thrilled about! So I just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who has subbed, or left a nice comment, or shared a video, and to say that it really really means a lot to me! ❤ Enjoy!
First, you're making good content so you deserve it, second, thank you for keeping the game alive during the wait for the update. Thanks for the content again. Little mistake at 14:42 the wishbone comes from the 3rd boss bonemass but it's okay. Another idea of video : maximum different trophies in 31 in-game days ? And little rule would be museum built during the time limit for a good display.
I didn't realize you were still an early career TH-camr. With the ideas and production quality, I expected to see you have several hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Can't wait to see what else you do!
Your editing is flawless! You’re so talented and such a compelling storyteller as well. This was a blast to watch and I love your style. Keep up the great work. 😊
Okay, here's the thing: I came here expecting you to beat the challenge with bare minimum effort input in addition of some loopholes here and there. You proved me wrong entirely: You gave it full commitment.This was very entertaining to watch, the simple yet comfortable amount of editing, and may I say, captive storytelling without resorting to smalltalk nor prolonged silence. Oh and here I am blabbing the obvious, I digressed. What I meant to say was, you have earned my sub!
Not only loved the challenge, and how you did in it, but the editing style with the graphical additions absolutely made it!! Very well done, earned a subscription for sure, and will using some of my free time for catching up on your back catalogue... keep em coming :)
What I liked most was the way you made the cut. Following the whole process would have been less enjoyable. It's a well designed challenge, but the video is even better designed. The narration, the extra stuff in the video were all brilliant. It was a great thrill to watch all the way through. Congratulations, keep it up!
Your the first ive ever seen to acknowledge the "punch of rage" after a tool breaks. I find it the cutest thing ever, even if its just me clicking one extra time by accident. Love your content so far!
After seeing the drawn 'map' of the village, you just got yourself a massive fan. a simple thing but so well done, awesome stuff and keep up the AMAZING work
The best thing about this video is that it one where you did your best and didn't succeed. All the ones where ppl do are a dime a dozen. It takes real guts to show you failed imo. Good video. Learned a lot. Thanks.
YOU are a BEAST! I very much enjoyed watching you pull this off. The small amount left in the challenge was FAR outweighed by the Draugr count you racked up starting naked and afraid. Respect!
You are badass! I remember my first Draugr village, and the neverending series of attempts and many deaths to defeat it. I never even considered using the bow against the spawners, and had to do it in close distance. You are awesome!
Draugr villages scare the HECK out of me! Major props on managing to clear it while low level. The village sketch was super cool too and now I've learnt I can distract Draugr with sacrifices which is great!
A+ job! Brava on getting around the iron bottleneck! I habitually restore any villages I come across. Sometimes I even leave the bone piles to farm Draugr and just build around it.
The fact that you posted this without actually completing the challenge makes this an even higher quality video than it already was. This was cool from start to finish
Not gonna lie, I found this Valheim video very engrossing, and I'm very impressed at not only your game skills, but your resolve to keep to the rules you set forth. Subbed.
wearing a glowing item like draugr fang or even porcupine increases your visibility range when sneaking - so when sneaking with a torch in your hand, it will probably increase your visibility by quite a range - haven't tested. Aside of that, this was a nice surprise: probably the first non-instructional valheim vid i ever enjoyed!
I can see how much work you put into these videos. To have only twelve total for the channel, and 37k subs is a testament to the quality of your work. I do hope you continue!,
I definitely feel like you could have succeeded, if you didn't make the raft mistake with the elder and just ran to the swamp to get iron using the stag detector method. But you know what? Good on you for sticking with it, even though you failed. Most would have gone through and re-recorded their gameplay until they got one where they completed it, and after a while you start to expect the end of the video instead of wondering if they are going to succeed or fail.
This was a really neat challenge. I loved the editing and little drawing of the village. The choice of music and pacing of the video all works perfectly to create a relaxing and entertaining piece. I really loved this, it was such a cute little challenge video, which is a nice change from most of the content I find for most of the games I love to play lol.
Killing the Elder was one of the hardest thing in this game for me. I was not completely familiar with all the game mechanics, all I cared was building and so I wanted to use stone for my houses. So I had to kill the Elder to obtain the sunken crypts' key and have be able to mine some iron. And yeah, then came an even harder stage in the game: finding a swamp. In my world literally all the swamps were extremly far from my starting point. So I had to sail, but in order to sail I had to build a ship. And finally I came across my first swamp.. but there were no crypts. The swamp was increadibly challenging because I was still a newby. So I constantly died. I tried sneaking, using heavy armor, fight from range with a bow etc. And when I almost gave up, suddenly I came across a muddy scrap pile out in the open. It contanied two scrap iron and I finally was able to build from stone.
I must admit it was one of most pleasing gameplay videos I've seen! Normally I wouldn't sit throughout half an hour and watch, but this was pleasing experience - great edits with some idea behind it, subtle humor, no childish and cheesy lines, a new quality, really. I relaxed with your video and I just realized I need more of such things. I will watch your career with great interest.
Valheim is a slow-burn masterpiece. I can say with 550 hours under my Megingjord, that skill expresses differently from other games, specially as a single player, where careful planning, knowledge and methodical progress is necessary if you don't want to be in corpse run most of the time. This is a very impressive challenge. Odin be praised. Well done.
Any Valheim player would have to admit that what you achieved in such a short period of time was close to impossible. A job well done and deserving of a Like and Subscribe from me, a fellow Valheimer :)!
I thought this would be hard before I realised you'd have to replace stone, and you still nearly pulled it off completely. You get an A- for coming so close and greatly exceeding my expectations and an A+ for effort because the editing was excellent.
Hey I'd love to see more of this kind of challenge (admittedly the Mistlands-video hits many of the same spots). Really enjoyed your sense of humour, the game-knowledge and dedication to the self-imposed ruleset. Well done!
I love your videos! Looking at your channel, i think you deserve more views than you get... surely it’s only a matter of time before you catch bigger wind in the algorithm. Please keep it up, I really enjoy them! 😊
Like many others have said, your editing/video skills are on par with some top notch youtubers. I absolutely loved the challenge and you definitely got my Sub. I look forward to many more videos. 😁
This is some of the best modern gameplay commentary I've seen to-date. I love your style, your presentation, your skills and choices in video editing. Keep going!
this video truly is a work of art, it shows your love for the game and I had a great time watching it 19:25 it was actually the tree. whether it was always a myth or it was changed a long while ago, for muddy scrap piles the greathammers now always display 0 damage, while for silver they display 'too hard'. I have done 'no boss' runs recently and you want to find those 0 damage numbers. those are either stones or muddy scrap piles and most stones are above ground (or ancient tree stumps, which is why you don't have to cut down any ancient trees when doing this, so they continue to display 'too hard') but it's an easy mistake to make seeing as there are still very recent youtube tutorials about looking for 'too hard' messages which then justify how far away the 'too hard' message was from the scrap pile by saying "just having to dig around a bit" similar to your experience, when the 'too hard' message is actually right on top of a tree and there is a 0 damage message right on top of the scrap pile. this being the exact opposite of how it works for silver where you actually DO want to look out for 'too hard' messages probably adds more to the confusion I'm excited for some mistlands content at some point. I'm going to play the update with my fellow vikings first but I liked and subbed
3:14 I'm dying inside from you killing the 2 star boar Fun video though, really enjoyed how you shared the bit about stagbreaker revealing underground muddy scrap
I'd genuinely like to try this challenge. I definitely couldn't do it in 7 days, but I'd feel pretty good about restoring a draugr village as a fresh character.
You can also get iron bars from destroying doors in Frost Caves! You need to be lucky to find a cave, but I think that would have been easier than killing both the first two bosses, getting surtling cores and running through the swamp.
my heart is racing. I was absolutely gripped watching this video! this had more action, suspense, and storytelling than most hollywood movies nowadays. bravo!
That was challenging. I barely get myself a house on the first days, built by me and not stolen from any old draugh. As old grampa used to say, "stay away from those foul beasts"
You make really good videos. The editing doesn't distract, but add to the experience, and I'm often surprised how far you went to make something that much nicer to watch (sketch of the village). I'm happy TH-cam recommended me this video
Great video, before this I didn’t even know drauger villages or scrap piles under the ground even existed, and I have about 100 hours. This game really does have lots of cool secrets!
If you get adept at speed-running the mountains, you can get a few iron bars from frost caves in the first few days of the game. Also, in a moderately-sized swamp, there are about 50 to 100 muddy scrap piles in the swamp, but many are below water level or buried right underneath the base of an indestructible tree.
I just started playing and you helped me realize I'm not as good as I thought 😭, already further in the game after 7 days vs me at 40+ days in a world with *FOUR* other people 😂😂😂
Nice job. I remember my first encounter with a Dragur village. I sailed in, jumped off my Kraft and died. I had no idea of what it was. I spent an entire real week reclaiming my stuff and clearing the village. It is now my primary compound.
Pacing, editing, commentary, and idea were all awesome in this video. Nope to mention the diagram of the village made for this video that impressed me. I subbed keep it up
I rarely watch these types of videos... but you sucked me right in with your storytelling. You are also far more skilled at the game than I am. (Panic mode usually causes me to screw up! RIP..) I watched this from start to finish, and enjoyed every minute of it. If you don't mind, I'll just hit that little subscribe button over there... Keep it up!
Youy're an exellent storyteller with a very nice voice! I have done the same thing many times, as I can not just leave a Drugr village i shambles (an obsession I guess). But I usually never come across any villages until I have at least Bronze gear, so it usually get a bit easier by that time. Anyhow - Keep up the good work, was fun to watch! Cheers!
Quite impressive! Dedicating yourself for the cause and removing the raft got me heheh, and you were really lucky with that scrap iron! ❤ Gods were with you.
Speaking of being thankful for no skill drain... So, For where I’m at as gear is concerned, I’m about ready to take on the Elder, so bronze/troll armor. I decided I was gonna do a little more exploring of my starting island, see what I’m working with besides just Meadows & Black Forest. Grab some basic stuff, and off I go. As I’m exploring the Meadows, I happen upon the base of a Mountain biome. Yay! I decide to build a small camp, to serve as a resting spot, storage, and something to expand on when I’m ready to tackle that mountain. I have the basics, workbench, fire and a bed with enough roof coverage for shelter. Night’s coming, but I’m in the meadows, not mountain, so I decide to continue working on the cabin. One of those werewolf things spawns in the distance. I get curious. Give em a sneak attack with my finewood bow and some fire arrows. Does decent damage, so I figure I can take it. Took it out relatively easily with the bow and clever maneuvering, but was surprised at its speed and attacks. So, do I take the hint? Do I take the warning that I should sleep until morning? Naaaaa. So, continue working on the cabin. I run off about 50 meters or so to grab some wood, when I hear them. Wolf pack, 3 of em, and they spotted me. I hi tail it back to the cabin, run up the roof, and get to work with the bow. I get one of them, then *fall through the hole in the roof I have for the smoke to escape* . Now panic is beginning to set in as the other 2 wolves continue hacking away at my cabin door. I figure, screw it. I have a shield and lvl 3 bronze axe, so I’ll use the door as a choke point and *maaaaybe* I survive this. Lolz... the 2 wolves break the door, I raise my shield, but boy do they hit *hard* at this point, as I’m super under leveled for this. I get staggered, then killed almost instantly after. Good thing I used that bed to set my spawn point, right?... right? So, for the next minute or so, I watch the remaining 2 wolves friggin spawn camp me at the bed, instantly taking me out the moment I spawn back in. Eventually, I took the cowards way out, and force quit the game. When I opened it back up, I spawned at my base, with all my inventory. The map still had the mountain base revealed, and when I got there my little camp hadn’t been built yet. I can live with that. Lol. Moral of the story: be super careful when discovering a biome you ain’t ready for. Oh, and SLEEP... lol. For real though, I’m loving this game so far. (just got it on Xbox) and having fun discovering all the content creators out there. Like Embr, who’s detailed breakdowns on things like fishing have helped greatly.
I have quit playing this game out of frustration a couple times. Losing my stuff without a portal half way across the world. But this video makes me want to give it another go... Thanks a lot haha
This is great content no matter how long the viewer been playing in a Valheim. Because what is great about this is the story and challenge of it all. But what’s just as awesome was the editing! Your editing is way on point with the telling of this story and as well from the other guides. This was just so interestingly fun to watch and from a storytelling point.
I chose to sub by the two minute mark of your video guide. As mentioned below solid editing, clear audio, original concept, thumbs up! Cheers @embr great content, will be back for more.
Very impressive accomplishment...I don't think I could have come close to accomplishing what you completed in 8 days; especially at minimum starting skill level. You have motivated me though to take over a D-Village, and turn it into a working, decorated location. I always enjoy your videos, so I hope you keep them coming.
i watched one of ur other videos about raids and i was like damn this is really well made and wanted to watch more of ur videos and they are amazing keep up the great work!
Stagbreaker quality 2 -> destroy body piles at the cost of some build-pieces -> repair and rebuild. Overall nice vid and really interesting format 😳 I love draugr and fuling villages!
Very nice story-telling and editing. And you were so close - without those few mistakes and with a bit more luck I believe you could have done it. Anyway, it was a real pleasure to watch!
I know it’s a lot of work to make these videos but yours are by far my favorite and I wish there were more! (Not me pressuring you for more, meant as a compliment 😊) I like how much detail your explanations contain and enjoy the silly blooper asides 😂. Would you consider a video just about the way you like to do things in the game? Such as your preferred layout for a base and how you build and decorate it, or how you like to farm farm and what your process is for breeding and culling animals efficiently (you mentioned in one of your videos about chores so I assume you play with others so what your guys do to split the load intruigues me). Going about continuing play once all the bosses are beat etc. Ways to keep enjoying it. This is a great example for a way to get creative. I just really like your content and looking for ways to get more 🤭😅 I’m always curious how people like to do things in their world and since I like your videos it would be even better to see! Thanks Embr! Subscribed ✅
Noticed the way you looted the chest at around 21:57 that reminded me of a shortcut which also took me a while to realize, and maybe you didn't yet know at the time of recording but do now: you can ctrl+click items to quick-stack/quick-move items from one side of two simultaneously opened inventories to the other. So for example right here you could have ctrl+clicked the flinthead arrows and flints to quick-stack them into your inventory, and do the same on the feather to quick-move it to the top-most inventory slot on your character. Thought I'd just mention it here to help out fellow vikings such as yourself! And who knows, maybe it could have even helped you complete your challenge on time ;)
So I literally was just telling my boyfriend that I was restoring a draugr village, and of course google heard me. But I'm glad it did. This was a great video. I don't think you got an F though. 3/4 small buildings, cleared all draugr and spawns, and restored 85-95% of all of the longhouses? Personally, I'd think AT WORST that's a C+. Not a 100% Success but for a challenge where you improvised as you went through? This was amazing to watch. On top of that, getting a seed that has a Draugr village and swamp on spawn island? I get terrible luck on my randomized seeds and get little to know Black Forests let alone swamps
I really enjoyed this. You have more courage than I do taking on draugr in deer skins. You got lucky with the bone pile, sometimes if the swamp is next to a hill or something the piles are partially uncovered along the slope. I look forward to more videos. Cheers!
This is an awesome challenge, and very well done video. Major props! I'm kind of surprised how quickly you found a draugr camp. I just started a "Dwarf Run Challenge" where I am trying to beat the game without being able to build with wood, with doors being the only exception in the build tab. I can build all crafting, misc. and furniture items, but restricted in the build area. reused a character with swiped/ empty inventory, no cheats/mods. it was a rough start, very rough start lol, but 2 bosses down and things are going well now that my HQ is under the Elder platform. Keep up the cool videos!
Incredible stuff. Great editing, great story telling, charming and well narrated. The entire thing comes off like the journal of an experienced adventurer, Valheim couldn't have a better advertisement.
This is brilliant! This is the second video of yours that I've watched, and the first one was one of your guides, so I don't know if you have more videos with challenges like this, but I sure hope you do because I loved this! I think I subscribed within three minutes! Really well done!
First, you are so much better then me, sure I have cleared a Draugr village before. But doing it with minimal equipment to me seems really hard. What happens a lot to me is I fail, then Draugr get out and form into a group and then any attempt to return leads to another death of me. Like I get hit by two archers at the same time and I end up face down in the field again. Watching your success and ability to escape from a group and still kill them. I sure could use you and a few others as a teacher. Again nice run, I should check out more of your videos.

I just wanted to mention that while I was making this video, I passed 1000 subscribers, which I was super super thrilled about! So I just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who has subbed, or left a nice comment, or shared a video, and to say that it really really means a lot to me! ❤ Enjoy!
congratulations you deserve it
First, you're making good content so you deserve it, second, thank you for keeping the game alive during the wait for the update. Thanks for the content again.
Little mistake at 14:42 the wishbone comes from the 3rd boss bonemass but it's okay.
Another idea of video : maximum different trophies in 31 in-game days ? And little rule would be museum built during the time limit for a good display.
Awesome job!
🎉😊
Your guides contain so much information with almost no unneeded fluff save the quick jokes which give them character. Good luck!
That sketch of the village was a great visual aid! You even drew it in perspective and everything.
I didn't realize you were still an early career TH-camr. With the ideas and production quality, I expected to see you have several hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Can't wait to see what else you do!
Your editing is flawless! You’re so talented and such a compelling storyteller as well. This was a blast to watch and I love your style. Keep up the great work. 😊
Exactly what I was going to say. These were editing/video skills I would expect from a veteran TH-camr.
I came here to say the same thing! :) Excellent work!
Yea that's what I was thinking. Very high quality storytelling and editing. And a fun challenge too!
She works detail in all things.
Okay, here's the thing: I came here expecting you to beat the challenge with bare minimum effort input in addition of some loopholes here and there.
You proved me wrong entirely: You gave it full commitment.This was very entertaining to watch, the simple yet comfortable amount of editing, and may I say, captive storytelling without resorting to smalltalk nor prolonged silence.

Very well done, earned a subscription for sure, and will using some of my free time for catching up on your back catalogue... keep em coming :)
I wouldn't have said you failed! More like a C+ pass grade on the village, but an A+ for determination and video quality :)
And honestly, what real-life city has zero condemned buildings? Challenge successful!
What I liked most was the way you made the cut. Following the whole process would have been less enjoyable. It's a well designed challenge, but the video is even better designed. The narration, the extra stuff in the video were all brilliant. It was a great thrill to watch all the way through. Congratulations, keep it up!
Your the first ive ever seen to acknowledge the "punch of rage" after a tool breaks. I find it the cutest thing ever, even if its just me clicking one extra time by accident.
Love your content so far!
The effort you put into this is through the roof!! Really well done, keep it up :D
Amazing storytelling 👏👏👏 Darn those Draugr hit hard. Great work.
A fellow Viking. 🙏
After seeing the drawn 'map' of the village, you just got yourself a massive fan. a simple thing but so well done, awesome stuff and keep up the AMAZING work
The best thing about this video is that it one where you did your best and didn't succeed. All the ones where ppl do are a dime a dozen. It takes real guts to show you failed imo. Good video. Learned a lot.

This is the Valheim content we need! Was loads of fun to watch, can't wait for your next upload.
Draugr villages scare the HECK out of me! Major props on managing to clear it while low level. The village sketch was super cool too and now I've learnt I can distract Draugr with sacrifices which is great!
A+ job! Brava on getting around the iron bottleneck! I habitually restore any villages I come across. Sometimes I even leave the bone piles to farm Draugr and just build around it.
The fact that you posted this without actually completing the challenge makes this an even higher quality video than it already was. This was cool from start to finish
I really enjoyed the honesty at the end. It was a VERY hard challenge all things considered and you honestly got really close
It's completely unfair this video has 26k views and only 2.37k subs. You had me from beginning to end. This definitely deserves a Subscribe, people!!!
Not gonna lie, I found this Valheim video very engrossing, and I'm very impressed at not only your game skills, but your resolve to keep to the rules you set forth. Subbed.
Stumbled upon this video by chance. Good narration, good editing, and that hand drawn map.. *chef's kiss
i would still call it a w , the village was pretty much repaired. well done !
wearing a glowing item like draugr fang or even porcupine increases your visibility range when sneaking - so when sneaking with a torch in your hand, it will probably increase your visibility by quite a range - haven't tested.
Aside of that, this was a nice surprise: probably the first non-instructional valheim vid i ever enjoyed!
I can see how much work you put into these videos. To have only twelve total for the channel, and 37k subs is a testament to the quality of your work. I do hope you continue!,
The first valheim challenge i've seen that isn't just running past everything and doing exploits / AI manipulations , 10/10
I definitely feel like you could have succeeded, if you didn't make the raft mistake with the elder and just ran to the swamp to get iron using the stag detector method.
But you know what? Good on you for sticking with it, even though you failed. Most would have gone through and re-recorded their gameplay until they got one where they completed it, and after a while you start to expect the end of the video instead of wondering if they are going to succeed or fail.
Note: you get wishbone from bonemass, not moder
thats what i said

I tried sneaking, using heavy armor, fight from range with a bow etc. And when I almost gave up, suddenly I came across a muddy scrap pile out in the open. It contanied two scrap iron and I finally was able to build from stone.
Hoping to see this channel thrive the same way as this restored village :)
Like the transition at 12:33. HOW? So much attention and effort! Incredible!
Genuinely the best-quality TH-cam video I've seen in ages! Great content and editing! Keep up the great and entertaining content
that was breath taking. i bet i wont be able to do as much if i was the one playing
I must admit it was one of most pleasing gameplay videos I've seen! Normally I wouldn't sit throughout half an hour and watch, but this was pleasing experience - great edits with some idea behind it, subtle humor, no childish and cheesy lines, a new quality, really.

This is fantastic. It would be great by itself, but the graphics and subtitles really elevate it beyond other Valheim content.
Your editing style and just video structure in general is genius, not to mention the on point humor. Good job, seriously.
Hey I'd love to see more of this kind of challenge (admittedly the Mistlands-video hits many of the same spots). Really enjoyed your sense of humour, the game-knowledge and dedication to the self-imposed ruleset. Well done!
I love your videos! Looking at your channel, i think you deserve more views than you get... surely it’s only a matter of time before you catch bigger wind in the algorithm. Please keep it up, I really enjoy them! 😊

this video truly is a work of art, it shows your love for the game and I had a great time watching it
19:25 it was actually the tree. whether it was always a myth or it was changed a long while ago, for muddy scrap piles the greathammers now always display 0 damage, while for silver they display 'too hard'. I have done 'no boss' runs recently and you want to find those 0 damage numbers. those are either stones or muddy scrap piles and most stones are above ground (or ancient tree stumps, which is why you don't have to cut down any ancient trees when doing this, so they continue to display 'too hard')
but it's an easy mistake to make seeing as there are still very recent youtube tutorials about looking for 'too hard' messages which then justify how far away the 'too hard' message was from the scrap pile by saying "just having to dig around a bit" similar to your experience, when the 'too hard' message is actually right on top of a tree and there is a 0 damage message right on top of the scrap pile. this being the exact opposite of how it works for silver where you actually DO want to look out for 'too hard' messages probably adds more to the confusion
I'm excited for some mistlands content at some point. I'm going to play the update with my fellow vikings first but I liked and subbed
3:14 I'm dying inside from you killing the 2 star boar
Fun video though, really enjoyed how you shared the bit about stagbreaker revealing underground muddy scrap
How did you find a Draugr village so fast? This was fun to watch. Thank you!
valhiem world generator can show lots of things like boss stones villages beehives camps spawners etc
@@skeletonkinggaming4345 I've seen starter island with plains attached to it, the generations can be insane....
I'd genuinely like to try this challenge. I definitely couldn't do it in 7 days, but I'd feel pretty good about restoring a draugr village as a fresh character.
Flawless editing and genuinly fun to watch! I really enjoyed this take on the "100 days"-trend, if it's right to call it that.
Keep it up!
I think you did a good job with this challenge. Was intense and a bit exciting to watch. It was a nail biter.
You can also get iron bars from destroying doors in Frost Caves! You need to be lucky to find a cave, but I think that would have been easier than killing both the first two bosses, getting surtling cores and running through the swamp.
my heart is racing. I was absolutely gripped watching this video! this had more action, suspense, and storytelling than most hollywood movies nowadays. bravo!
That was challenging. I barely get myself a house on the first days, built by me and not stolen from any old draugh. As old grampa used to say, "stay away from those foul beasts"
by far one of the most talented people on youtube, can't wait for you to blow up
You make really good videos. The editing doesn't distract, but add to the experience, and I'm often surprised how far you went to make something that much nicer to watch (sketch of the village). I'm happy TH-cam recommended me this video
The production-quality and attention to detail of this video is astonishing! Really entertaining!
Great video, before this I didn’t even know drauger villages or scrap piles under the ground even existed, and I have about 100 hours. This game really does have lots of cool secrets!
If you get adept at speed-running the mountains, you can get a few iron bars from frost caves in the first few days of the game. Also, in a moderately-sized swamp, there are about 50 to 100 muddy scrap piles in the swamp, but many are below water level or buried right underneath the base of an indestructible tree.
The quality content we needed is here!!
I just started playing and you helped me realize I'm not as good as I thought 😭, already further in the game after 7 days vs me at 40+ days in a world with *FOUR* other people 😂😂😂
Draugr-sized hole -----> [ ]
I don't know why but that really made me chuckle.
Excellent video :)
8:53 I actually thought a Troll had popped up to attack at that moment. Clever editing.
I normaly don't really like time limited games or similar but this was an enjoyable watch! Also really a fan of your humor. Well done again!
8:51 that jumpscare 🤣
this was amazing! the game should have side quests where you "restore lost villages" and get a power/special item for restoring x amount of villages.
Lawl “beefy neck”
Your editing and composition are wonderful as usual.
Nice job. I remember my first encounter with a Dragur village. I sailed in, jumped off my Kraft and died. I had no idea of what it was. I spent an entire real week reclaiming my stuff and clearing the village. It is now my primary compound.
The fact you completed all that in 7 in game days is pretty crazy.
Pacing, editing, commentary, and idea were all awesome in this video. Nope to mention the diagram of the village made for this video that impressed me. I subbed keep it up
I rarely watch these types of videos... but you sucked me right in with your storytelling. You are also far more skilled at the game than I am. (Panic mode usually causes me to screw up! RIP..) I watched this from start to finish, and enjoyed every minute of it. If you don't mind, I'll just hit that little subscribe button over there... Keep it up!
Youy're an exellent storyteller with a very nice voice! I have done the same thing many times, as I can not just leave a Drugr village i shambles (an obsession I guess). But I usually never come across any villages until I have at least Bronze gear, so it usually get a bit easier by that time. Anyhow - Keep up the good work, was fun to watch! Cheers!
Quite impressive! Dedicating yourself for the cause and removing the raft got me heheh, and you were really lucky with that scrap iron! ❤ Gods were with you.
YT algorithm recommended this. Def worth it.
Speaking of being thankful for no skill drain...
So, For where I’m at as gear is concerned, I’m about ready to take on the Elder, so bronze/troll armor. I decided I was gonna do a little more exploring of my starting island, see what I’m working with besides just Meadows & Black Forest. Grab some basic stuff, and off I go. As I’m exploring the Meadows, I happen upon the base of a Mountain biome. Yay! I decide to build a small camp, to serve as a resting spot, storage, and something to expand on when I’m ready to tackle that mountain. I have the basics, workbench, fire and a bed with enough roof coverage for shelter. Night’s coming, but I’m in the meadows, not mountain, so I decide to continue working on the cabin. One of those werewolf things spawns in the distance. I get curious. Give em a sneak attack with my finewood bow and some fire arrows. Does decent damage, so I figure I can take it. Took it out relatively easily with the bow and clever maneuvering, but was surprised at its speed and attacks. So, do I take the hint? Do I take the warning that I should sleep until morning? Naaaaa. So, continue working on the cabin. I run off about 50 meters or so to grab some wood, when I hear them. Wolf pack, 3 of em, and they spotted me. I hi tail it back to the cabin, run up the roof, and get to work with the bow. I get one of them, then *fall through the hole in the roof I have for the smoke to escape* . Now panic is beginning to set in as the other 2 wolves continue hacking away at my cabin door. I figure, screw it. I have a shield and lvl 3 bronze axe, so I’ll use the door as a choke point and *maaaaybe* I survive this. Lolz... the 2 wolves break the door, I raise my shield, but boy do they hit *hard* at this point, as I’m super under leveled for this. I get staggered, then killed almost instantly after.
Good thing I used that bed to set my spawn point, right?... right? So, for the next minute or so, I watch the remaining 2 wolves friggin spawn camp me at the bed, instantly taking me out the moment I spawn back in. Eventually, I took the cowards way out, and force quit the game. When I opened it back up, I spawned at my base, with all my inventory. The map still had the mountain base revealed, and when I got there my little camp hadn’t been built yet.
I can live with that. Lol.
Moral of the story: be super careful when discovering a biome you ain’t ready for. Oh, and SLEEP... lol.
For real though, I’m loving this game so far. (just got it on Xbox) and having fun discovering all the content creators out there. Like Embr, who’s detailed breakdowns on things like fishing have helped greatly.
I have quit playing this game out of frustration a couple times. Losing my stuff without a portal half way across the world. But this video makes me want to give it another go... Thanks a lot haha
This is great content no matter how long the viewer been playing in a Valheim. Because what is great about this is the story and challenge of it all. But what’s just as awesome was the editing! Your editing is way on point with the telling of this story and as well from the other guides. This was just so interestingly fun to watch and from a storytelling point.
I chose to sub by the two minute mark of your video guide. As mentioned below solid editing, clear audio, original concept, thumbs up!
Cheers @embr great content, will be back for more.
I SO love your videos! Your edit job is flawless, didatic and very fun!!!
Very impressive accomplishment...I don't think I could have come close to accomplishing what you completed in 8 days; especially at minimum starting skill level. You have motivated me though to take over a D-Village, and turn it into a working, decorated location. I always enjoy your videos, so I hope you keep them coming.
i watched one of ur other videos about raids and i was like damn this is really well made and wanted to watch more of ur videos and they are amazing keep up the great work!
Stagbreaker quality 2 -> destroy body piles at the cost of some build-pieces -> repair and rebuild. Overall nice vid and really interesting format 😳 I love draugr and fuling villages!
Thank you for this thoroughly riveting narrative.
i'm a big fan of valheim but this video I think is the best I ever seen. Now I'm a big fan of the channel too!
What a fun and unique challenge! Your narration and editing are an absolute delight.
Very nice story-telling and editing. And you were so close - without those few mistakes and with a bit more luck I believe you could have done it. Anyway, it was a real pleasure to watch!
I know it’s a lot of work to make these videos but yours are by far my favorite and I wish there were more! (Not me pressuring you for more, meant as a compliment 😊) I like how much detail your explanations contain and enjoy the silly blooper asides 😂. Would you consider a video just about the way you like to do things in the game? Such as your preferred layout for a base and how you build and decorate it, or how you like to farm farm and what your process is for breeding and culling animals efficiently (you mentioned in one of your videos about chores so I assume you play with others so what your guys do to split the load intruigues me). Going about continuing play once all the bosses are beat etc. Ways to keep enjoying it. This is a great example for a way to get creative. I just really like your content and looking for ways to get more 🤭😅 I’m always curious how people like to do things in their world and since I like your videos it would be even better to see! Thanks Embr!

Noticed the way you looted the chest at around 21:57 that reminded me of a shortcut which also took me a while to realize, and maybe you didn't yet know at the time of recording but do now: you can ctrl+click items to quick-stack/quick-move items from one side of two simultaneously opened inventories to the other. So for example right here you could have ctrl+clicked the flinthead arrows and flints to quick-stack them into your inventory, and do the same on the feather to quick-move it to the top-most inventory slot on your character.
Thought I'd just mention it here to help out fellow vikings such as yourself!
And who knows, maybe it could have even helped you complete your challenge on time ;)
So I literally was just telling my boyfriend that I was restoring a draugr village, and of course google heard me. But I'm glad it did. This was a great video. I don't think you got an F though. 3/4 small buildings, cleared all draugr and spawns, and restored 85-95% of all of the longhouses? Personally, I'd think AT WORST that's a C+. Not a 100% Success but for a challenge where you improvised as you went through? This was amazing to watch. On top of that, getting a seed that has a Draugr village and swamp on spawn island? I get terrible luck on my randomized seeds and get little to know Black Forests let alone swamps
I really enjoyed this. You have more courage than I do taking on draugr in deer skins. You got lucky with the bone pile, sometimes if the swamp is next to a hill or something the piles are partially uncovered along the slope. I look forward to more videos. Cheers!
This is an awesome challenge, and very well done video. Major props! I'm kind of surprised how quickly you found a draugr camp. I just started a "Dwarf Run Challenge" where I am trying to beat the game without being able to build with wood, with doors being the only exception in the build tab. I can build all crafting, misc. and furniture items, but restricted in the build area. reused a character with swiped/ empty inventory, no cheats/mods. it was a rough start, very rough start lol, but 2 bosses down and things are going well now that my HQ is under the Elder platform. Keep up the cool videos!
I just love your videos, the tone, the storytelling, everything.
Well done! I would've never gotten that far. I'd consider this challenge won. Was great fun to watch. Looking forward to more Valheim content.
Incredible stuff. Great editing, great story telling, charming and well narrated. The entire thing comes off like the journal of an experienced adventurer, Valheim couldn't have a better advertisement.
I appreciate how you kept the "-r" after Embr tradition from other words in valheim as Embrr and draugr
This is brilliant! This is the second video of yours that I've watched, and the first one was one of your guides, so I don't know if you have more videos with challenges like this, but I sure hope you do because I loved this! I think I subscribed within three minutes! Really well done!
Thanks for this novel challenge. Really enjoyed your commentary along the way.
First, you are so much better then me, sure I have cleared a Draugr village before. But doing it with minimal equipment to me seems really hard. What happens a lot to me is I fail, then Draugr get out and form into a group and then any attempt to return leads to another death of me. Like I get hit by two archers at the same time and I end up face down in the field again. Watching your success and ability to escape from a group and still kill them. I sure could use you and a few others as a teacher. Again nice run, I should check out more of your videos.
Awesome video with a really badass challenge. Really enjoyed this. Keep it up!
You'd need a full scientific calculator to count my deaths if I tried that... Amazing job! 👏
