The old Vikings used to create forts where the walls were just raised mounds of dirt with a stake wall. So the terrain wall is historically accurate.
Plus it looks badass
Yes, they pilled up everything they had from building their cellars, mines, and trenches around the village. As trenches fill up with water you can also hear someone trying to climb, making it more slippery.
I love the threat of base destruction from raids, but the walls should be tankier for sure
I guess a possible upgrade is making it so Wards grants a 50% resistance to structure damage when activated maybe?
When you have a ward up, no one players can damage your structures too.
They are tanks asf there is really only one mob you gotta worry for
One of my biggest gripes with this game is the supremacy the defensive mound/gap. There are loads of defensive build pieces which are useless in comparison because even tiny enemies do absurd amounts of damage to built structures. I stopped using them after a pack of wolves bit through my stone walls in about 3 seconds.
I play in Hammer Mode. No more raids, no more problems.
I think youre coming at it wrong. The game is basically minecraft for grownups with real rpg elements. Embrace it, build a goofy but indestructable fort. Who cares if it looks stupid? If u want pretty forts just play creative imo
@@Around_blax_dont_relax I think people put way to much emphasis on building elaborate structures. They were Vikings, they're crude, rude barbarians that burned, raped, pillaged and took slaves to sell.
They weren't worried about their dwellings appearing in Architectural Digest or House Beautiful magazine. I build to keep the things I need to use out of the rain until I can beat all the bosses.
@@donmiller2908No people just like to play a certain way and the building system was made with creativity in mind in this game. Its a fantasy game, you cant compare it to real life vikings
@@Around_blax_dont_relax I'm partly with you. But it also limits creativity. When a moat or a raised wall is the best defense ever, then there's no creativity to be really had with buildings and their defenses. Just build a moat + terrain wall, end of story
8:24 you can also cover a ward underground like the campfires. you just have to dig down a bit deeper. but the wardens do not break when covered, which means you can have an inivisible spawn protection.
do the buried campfires help prevent mob spawns? I've been trying to find a simple video on how best to bury them but am not finding any to this point but am going to give it a try
My current base is built on a peninsula, so the only entrance is the tiny bit connecting to the mainland. No moat required, but I did build the land up in places, and built stone docks above the water line, making it impossible for any swimmers to gain access to the base itself. I also made a cheeky wall along the shore which forces the mobs to path hundreds of meters down the shore to get around, effectively making them de-aggro.
Can you post a screenshot or video? I am trying to make a dock atm but these little fckers seem to swim around/under it every time even with spikes, pallisade and built up terrain all around :D
I always end up building as far out in the water as I can. Pretty much boat accessible only. (Without creative) you have to snake a very long land bridge out where you want it to be and then you raise the ground to its maximum height (which will still be underwater), then you start placing stone blocks to get it up above the water line, then you build on top of the stone blocks. To prevent land access, you just go dig up what you can of the land bridge (and you can wait for big waves to dig it back down even further). If you build far enough out, nothing will spawn during raids at all. Haven't even had fliers spawn yet. Plus, unlimited fishing right out my front door. I also do this for my portal hubs. Nothing bothers you out in the water.
For Terrain Walls I use the Cultivator to re-color it all to match the Natural Terrain and then grow staggered rows of Fir Trees around the outer perimeter to also hide the wall and provide decent cover against most ranged attacks if they manage to find a spot to shoot from.
I’m just said they killed my boars, so now I’m here
I've never played this game, and yet, I am impressed by how practical and valuable this seems.
Buy it and look around. Plenty of people to play with if you don't want to go solo. Best $20 you'll ever spend.
@@wernercd Actually, I did buy this game, months ago, and have yet to install it. I bought it on sale on Steam and I have been waiting (impatiently) for 1.0 to finally get into it. People say I shouldn't wait, but I really want to it be a full experience when I do.
The new MMO / RPG (look up Valheim MMO here on TH-cam) will be out before then... I for one wouldn't want to skip the main game into the fan-made MMO if I were you, but I don't know if I'd have the restraint like you to wait either. @@DANOVERBOARDvlogs
free for us on game pass :)
Большое упущение с вашей стороны, игра выглядит полноценной на любом этапе разработки и даёт уникальный опыт, я наиграл 500 часов и не убил шестого павшего, чтобы заходить в нее снова и снова.
I typically just find a decent-sized island and spawn-protect it with torches (technique is to place a log next to the torch, and then clip another log into the torch so the torch is protected but the flame still above the second log - lighting and protection at once, and it looks like a giant candle). The only thing you need to worry about then is bats. The rest spawn so far away, if they even spawn, that they can't get to you in time before the raid ends.
I have a base that has been attacked by bats twice, and not a single thing besides that.
Covering terrain walls with wooden stuff or stone IS a thing that was used in real life too in the past. Many ancient hillfortresses were build this way. I found out that a lot of real life lore like this can be used in this game as well.
Great video with different approches and strats! I might try to use a rug to conceal the bridge gap without losing the effectiveness. I really liked the last base on your video with the access to water and that reminds me one strategy I used is that you can use a door while swimming so you can use this as your advantage and put a door for access on the walls that protects your harbour. :)
I'm back playing Valheim again. While effective, I'm not a big fan of motes aesthetically speaking. I use a two-base strategy. For my "fortress" (where I live), I like to find a mountain that has cliffs on three sides, usually in the Black Forest biome. I then only need to create a short ravine across the backside and create a narrow bridge with two halves with a gap as you demonstrated so nicely. I also have a nice farm in the meadows lands, but I don't put a bed or portal in it. I have another workbench with a bed and cook fire just off to the side of my farm that is just in a shack. I always sleep and have my respawn point there, when I'm working on my farm. I did have my farm attacked once and have no explanation why, but other than that one exception, my strategy has worked like a charm. One time when Valheim was quite new, I had a large stone fortress I was quite proud of utterly destroyed by trolls. I vowed never again! : P
I also found that planting trees outside at vulnerable parts of your base does work for trolls. They will go around them allowing you to funnel them to a place on your base that is better fortified and easier to defend.
Your use of trees to funnel Troll movement is neat! Do you plant a line of them?
You can fit quite a bit under the Elder platform seal it off and make a raid proof base
That's where my portal room was. I haven't played in ages, but I had like 10 portals under there, fire, bed, work stations and just small outposts all over that were never in danger of raids.
You can build on top of it as well, with the pillars making natural corners we made a small castle that we used for a portal hub
Never seem to find any good valheim "information" videos but this one damn good
My favorite system until now is to build my base on an island and cover the entire island with one of the prevention methods you mention at the end.
This video is exactly what I needed to up my base defenses and I couldn't be happier
Great video. Solid ideas, as the builder of our group I'm always looking for new or better ways of protecting my friends. My goto is always elevation. Ty for the ideas against flying mobs
Great video, just getting back into Valheim and have always wondered what the best spawn prevention methods are. I love lighting so think I will throw some torches with stone pillars all around my Plains base to prevent those stinking mosquitos from getting over what I thought was a very tall wall to get at my Lox farm.
Super helpful, thanks for putting this together!
Great video. Its hard to come across new and innovative ideas for valheim these days and this did just that. Keep it up!
Great video! Will be sure to watch this a few times next time Im playing. Thanks!
So stoked to see my fav valheim youtuber get so many views id love to see a full playthrough on youtube.
Easiest is to dig a moat and use the stone for a wall. That will keep most mobs away. However, the safest place for your base is a small island far away from land. You just need a few workbenches.
this is such a useful and good video. especially the last point with spawn prevention. you're making me wanna fire up the game again
I prefer to have good defenses like the ones you show here. As tempting as it can be to disable raids, I usually want the drops that they provide to make stuff. Thank you for a great video.
Thanks for sharing this. I try to employ all of your methods in my bases, with the exception of reversed stairs. Haven't tried that yet. I am a mad moat digger and terra-former thou:) I like your idea of incorporating spike in walls, brilliant :)
Me not knowing what this game even is “I’ll definitely need to know this”
I think that's the best base defense video I've seen. Thanks!!
Man, those creations make me almost want to play in MP mode. I have so much to learn.
Thank you, I am relatively new to the game and this helps a lot! Beautiful builds btw! Subscribed to the channel for sure!
The simplest way to defend a base is by having an open layout so you can always see where enemies are coming from, and get to them quickly so that they aggro on you instead of your buildings.
Basically, build your base like a fuling camp.
The best defense is offense.....the words of a furling slayer...
The one issue is that it leaves structures vulnerable if you go afk or are otherwise busy
@@thorveim1174 That's why you exit game when afk. 🤦♂️
I mean it did well early to mid game, but after the gobby raids I found that dying without any walls can leave pretty large portions of your base unprotected. Waves spawn in multiple areas, so an open layout could just give difficult mobs time and space to fuck your shit up. It can be good to play off the spawns, if you're able to aggro everything, kite it all until the raids over, that can work, but it's a bit more risky, it depends on your equipment, there's a high chance you can't pull all the goblinos without a few trailing off the pack, and their difficulty can make holding aggro a pain. Like just having walls is good insurance, and you have access to the resources.
You are my favourite Valheim Creator. Keep the good work up!
Excellent video! I learned a lot, thank you! :)
I love this video's intro! Great work lol
Great video mate.
My personal strategy is to build one main mega-base with a portal hub, which radiates out into minimalist portal shacks, with just a bed, fire, box etc. Obviously this means Im really invested in main base defence.
Since I portal out to anything I need, I opt for building on a meadows island, somwehere central in the map[, where there is good sea access in every direction.
I raise the ground WELL above the highest sea level, trim off any excess land by digging down as far as I can go, and wall everything up, putting a roof over everything including corridors. I also build internal metal doors in case of a weird spawn or some new patch.
On an island its really easy to block spawns just with the work benches that are naturally dotted around for future building and maintenance. I also keep my pig farm entirely roofed in, and my chicken coop is a literal stone bunker with a stone roof. I learned that lesson after bats wiped out my entire 2 star pig farm. I also put a secondary wall around them to stop poison from hitting them through the wall.
Currently Im leaving one area of the island free, and building massive defences against that spot. This way if I get a raid I can still fight it at a location of my choosing, under terms that I dictate. Its free farming ftw.
Im still concerned about seeker raids, because despite them not being supposed to spawn in meadows, Ive heard of it happen via bugs etc.
But yeah.... island build, raised ground, stone walls, internal moats and doors, roof over everything I can, and always assume that you missed a spot somewhere and you will wake up in the morning with some random mob smashing up your garden.
Thank you Beebs!!
Got about 1000 hours in Valhiem, and learned about the spikes repelling bats along the top wall edge. Nice. Thx.
My favourite is raised islands in the sea. Best defense by far.
That gap bridge is very useful!
Bro, thanks for doing the science!
I loved this video man great job !
Very good one. Today I've learnt few new techniques
What great ideas you have, thanks for sharing!
Such a good video, need more from you
One thing I have done in my latest playthrough is build my main base of operations under the elder altar. I have a 100% raid and mob-proof base down there so I can always chill and wait out anything I don’t fancy facing.
I have also done this. It's snug & cosy & I have a terain wall around it.
All excellent choices! Thank you for all the visual measurements and videography - very well edited!! Incidentally, I've had success building villages on a /very/ subtle plateau (about 4m taller than the surrounding terrain). Doing so looks more organic than a Moat, plus no bridge requirements. And looking outward from the plateau reminds me of an 'infinity' pool; there's no unsightly Wall of Dirt encircling the town that needs to get hidden by build pieces. With that method, I skip spawn prevention techniques so the passive wildlife and ground walking mobs complete the appearance of a natural habitat and act as First Line of Defense against raids.
Great video this was awesome I personally just have an earth wall simply because I hate how mites look but this has some awesome ideas
Damn, the editing is just glorious.
I love your La Folia progression music. I was like "why is this music familiar and nice... what theme song is that... oh wait it's the La Folia progression."
thanks for the info!
This is maximum effort! Which I will not be doing haha. But I will definitely use some of these tips. Very useful info!
Me encantó, me dieron ganas de jugar otra vez solo para poner en juego estás técnicas ajaja
Further into the game, I would choose an island as my base and build a tower structure on it. This does help prevent enemies spawning near the island base.
Awesome bro👊
usually go with the ground walls around my base its just the best option
Very cool ideas, Thanks for the video.👍
I'd like to come checkout all your base designs sometime, they are really nice!
Great video. Luv your style.
interesting, thanks for sharing.. I use the trench and enviroment walls in combination.
Great advice!
Franchement , RESPECT !! c'est une vidéo EXCELLENT ! pouce + abonnement
Very cool video, super informative, big thanks for that!
THANK YOU!!!
very good stuff, I like your approach. spikes are too much of a pain with the upkeep tho
This is great. Thanks.
very good job, what a knowledge !
Wonderful video!
It took me a long time, but in my world I made a base that was like 300 x 300 meters, made walls of stone 4 blocks high, and a moat around 10 meters wide between the walls and the outer world. The only problem is the bat spawns and the trolls destroying my moat bridge but other than that it's all good.
oh man, i love those torches
While everyone say the same thing when i post new building ... the ground is shaking but I really like to get some free troll leathers. Great moat and bridge !
That bit about using inverted stairs to confuse and inhibit the enemy AI has me hearing Claptrap from Borderlands 2: "Stairs?!?! NNNNOOOOO!!!!"
these are pretty incredible.. my walls never look that neat though lol
Interesting video. I feel like earth+moat are very effective early on. At a certain point, tho, earthen walls are kinda pointless as you should be able to handle any raid that comes your way without having to hunker down inside. As for Mistlands, I don't build bases out there. I get what I need out quickly and haul it back home. Currently, I design my bases/outposts with double stone walls that have interlocking smaller pieces so an entire 4x2 piece being destroyed doesn't compromise the entire setup. Seems to work and looks nicer. Ymmv, of course. Anyway, helpful video for a fantastic game.
i'll be honest, i have no idea how anyone can get used to and handle raids after early game. any time it's more than a couple of enemies or even a troll+the greydwarf mafia, it's only a matter of time before I get cooked. can't handle more than one wolf, can't handle stone golems, can't handle the swamp, and i haven't even gotten to the plains yet. guess i'm just trash at the game.
All you really need is the moat and dirt walls. I made a sick mountain base by starting on a hill and over the course of the gameplay i cut a giant trench out around where i wanted to build, then dug out the tip of the hill so it was like a mini mountain with my main castle on it, then on the lower level of the hill down a path i built the portal hub, store house, friend houses, etc, and then i put a wall snapped directly from my main building all the way around. Then i connected stone sections for basing and all that and eventually ended up with a giant mountain fort all connected to the same snap point. Made the entrance as the only land connection but the had that lead to a spot that had it's own moat and then a basic bridge. Almost never had any enemies go for the bridge as their pathing got confused and kept trying to go for the main entrance instead of the bridge that led to the path to the main entrance.
Wonderful video! The wife and I will definitely be using some of these methods to prevent being "trolled". :)
I put my town squarely on the intersection between a dark forest, a mountain biome, plains, and a swamp. It was the only instance I'd ever seen of all them touching in one spot and seemed like it wouldn't ever get boring.
It hasn't, I get attacked by everything, all the time. Most of the town resides closer to the mountain and dark forest.
My walls are stone blocks, triple layered with spike traps in between all of it. I have moats, and more spikes. The main building lies on top of a large mound overlooking everything around.
Most things die to the spikes, but every now and then they'll make a breach. What they don't know is that I have sections without spikes, which are full of tamed maxed out wolves.
5:22 Skeleton: "What is this sorcery?!"
Sweet! I like using walls best but they have been ugly. Now I'll use your technique to hide the tops. I also found there is an upper limit of how high they can be.
Amazing video
nicely done video
My go to build is:
Underground base under the Elder alter.
The terrain when dug down to the max is very flat, the altar is an indestructable roof, there is an infinite burning fire for your bed/comfort and you can extend your build to the top of the alter if you need more space.
The 4 corner pillars even allow for a pretty high structure.
Just big a trench around the whole alter and leave a nice amount of dirt wall around the basement to avoid damage.
If you use a portal, you can make the basement completely safe from mobs, nice if you want to raise your animals down there.
I build core wood poles 24m on center with platforms on top holding workbench, enclosed in wood wall shack. Plus trench and/or raised wall perimeter. The gap in bridge technique is AWESOME. I usually leave a 2m gap and jump over it. When i have to cart, throw down a wood floor infill and break it afterwards.
These are great but I'm probably still gonna use the ol' classic moat as my only defense
I prefer to build fortress systems. Moat with spikes on the bottom and earthwall topped off with a full wooden wall - I also add towers to have better vantage points where I can attack enemies from the sides. Then I make one simple wooden bridge over the moat that is protected by torches and... enemies for some reason quite like attacking the bridge... which means that even if I'm not paying attention... the only thing broken is easily replaceable wooden bridge.
EPIC VIDEO!!! Fantastic job! New Subscriber!! RIBBIT!
I found a tiny island in the middle of the ocean and put a gate down then built it up higher than storm wave level. Then built a 3 story tower on top of it. Have been through swamp attacks, ground shaking, and forest unrest and never seen 1 mob. After a few minutes, it goes away. One level houses nothing but gateways, 1 is storage and production, Roof has a bonfire on top of it and wind mills.
I just like to put workbenches everywhere inside little houses. Then I can just run around with the build menu open checking for any areas that don't have coverage. The torches work but only look nice when they are lit and if you have really massive projects keeping them fueled is not an option.
I take my hat off to you building a lovely house just to allow it to be destroyed. I love the humour in your videos.
Haha.. Thanks 😊

Is there a guide to making that particular village you showed there? It looks really really awesome and i want to see it better as a reference
2 extra options include 1) building a base out on the water on a small island and 2) using tamed wolves, preferentially 2 star wolves.
i just dig wide trench all around my base deep to max and in inner edge of it i raise ground to look like wall then i left small gap in it then i sprint and jump
I build a beautiful tree house that has worked amazingly. Bat raids happen but dont really effect anything. Took me 2 years now but its finally finished. I hope to upload it soon
didn't even know this was a thing until today i beat the elder and was exploring the swamp. came home to it saying the ground was shaking and had to kill 6 trolls with a deer buff and a bow. thank god i got some irontip arrows out of the crypt.
Pro tip, use the terrain as walls for your structure. I was farming wolves and wyverns in my mountian base before I even killed elder. I basically just made a bunker with walls made out of terrain, and a basic roof and a moat that leads to an enclosure in the ground. I bait the wolves and kick them into the hole then I tame them. Wyverns? I have 9999999 arrows and a tower. How did I climb the mountain? 70 sheds with bonfires and alot of ladders
When you get raided you just go out to meet them. They don't want your buildings there trying to get you
Building underground under the elder altar has become my main means of operation ever since I've discovered it, any other bases I build now are just functional biome or boss interfaces for me to travel between and gather resources. So my Swamp base is a simple tree house, my plains base is a very high up simple 2 floor house on top of one of those huge stone pillars so mosquitoes ignore it, and so forth
The Swamps spawns wraith though which are flying enemies.
In general only Ocean, Black Forest, and Meadows don't have flying enemies.
Gap is useless against large enemies. Minimal large enemy I've seen just cross over my gapped bridge was a 3 star greydwarf brute. Stone floor bridge.
Hell, some small enemies can probably cross over. I tested with an 0-star boar. Normally it couldn't cross over, but when it moved a bit forward with a side turn, it suddenly had a foothold on the other side of the gap, enough for pathing to cross over.
For my base I found a Tiny island in water and built a tower on it. It's so small that pretty much nothing spawns on so I don't get attacked. ;)
First thing we do as soon as we get the ability to craft a boat is go find a little island chain classed as Meadow and build on that. You still get the random stray greyling or something but no big deal. EZ.
