FOOD: Apologies for accidentally cutting the bit about food. I suggest you take Serpent Stew, Turnip Stew and Sausages but just take the best food you have available to you :) Then when you get there kill those lox and upgrade to lox meat! :)
Lox pie, blood pudding and serpent stew is the best combination . If you don’t have one of these then fish wraps, sausages or turnip stew are the next best, in that order If you’re good in the swamps (silver sword and good armour) it’s probably easier getting sausages than serpent stew
How to find the plains: Set out with only troll gear searching for the trader. You will immediately be surrounded by plains and terrifying goblins & mosquitos.
I seem to find them when I'm running around swamps and suddenly hear that demonic giggle and BOOM Lox right in front of me. Then run the hell out of there with my full entourage of fulings, draugr, skellies, wraith, leeches, A-bombs, and blobs.
i remember being in the swamp and running from like 10 different enemies and seeing the plains biome and thinking “oh that place should be safe!” and then i ran in and immediately ran away when i saw like three goblins and a deathsquito hit me for over half my health
Was mapping out the bounds of an island in my little karve and skirted a little close to the plains shore and a deathsquito came for me. The boat isn't big enough to swing your weapon without hitting the boat first and I died. Made a new one, went to get my stuff, found a kraken, started mining it, didn't know it sank... sitting on the other side of it without stamina and I'm getting wet. Died again. Make a third boat to retrieve both my corpses, successfully make it happen. Total time: 4.5 hours... Love this game but you die from the dumbest things most of the time.
Died 4 times the other night because of fucking wolves. And my friend was freezing to death on the mountain because I was supposed to be bringing portal supplies up the mountain.
i have similar experiences.. what about driving your boat on a piece of shallow water and getting stuck and then the leeches come for you and they attack boat and you and just at the moment your boat is finally turned and got loose, you die from the last leech hit............ the level of stress is so high in this game my cortisol level went up with 800%
I got stuck on a mountain after getting ambushed by cultists in a cave. I respawned at a hastily set up barebones camp and died trying to get down the mountain from the cold. Took me 3 hours to grab my stuff from the cave and work it closer and closer to the cave entrance(died about 30x) but at least I didn't have to start a new map! I had 600 days sunk into it already!
I like finding a very small plains biome (like random ones near the equator), build a bunch of workbenches to block enemy spawns and then just cultivate and plant flax/barley. Saves a lot of hassle.
I think the best advice for plains exploration is to set up a backup portal OUTSIDE the plains nearby. Usually there is a black forest, mountain, meadow, or swamp bounding the plains. Find a safe elevated place there, excavate a quick trench, and drop a portal.
@@Kysen doing it like an old school game show like gladiators or something with the model on one side and height/weight(even if guessed) and list of weaknesses and strengths on the other side for example would be pretty cool. Could expand out to all other biomes too. I don't create my own content so not sure how hard or easy this would be to edit but good luck with whatever you decide to do :)
@@Kysen it would be good to work out which is the best weapon to use against each mob. For example, if you’re going to the swamp take the silver sword. Or use fire arrows against Drake
Tip for all, don't be intimidated by deathskitos, personally I think wolves are a more intimidating enemy. As long as you move slow, keep eyes up and have your shield at the ready skitos shouldn't cause you an issue. Just be sure to clear them out the area with a bow before fighting anything else. Oh and don't bother parrying them, you just just block/counter real easy.
I personally prefer to wear root armor to explore the plains, due to the extra bonus on pierce resistance. Makes deathsquitos a lot less scary since they cause a lot less damage even when they attack you from behind. Also good against the javelin-throwing fulings.
@@ManMang0just wear the chest for the pierce resistance and mix in other pieces like the Fenris leggings for speed and some wolf or padded for extra armor
Great video, very helpful - but I gotta say, the fact that you disabled grass just bugs me no end for some reason haha I get that it makes ground items easier to spot, but man ... at what cost!
Yeap. The game is poorly optimized. I would prefer to have lots more vegetation AND be able to see lots more vegetation off in the distance instead of having everything constantly (and very noticeably) redrawing as you get closer.
Another thing you could mention is the bonemass power. It's very strong in the plains. You could even run into a camp and just sledgehammer everything with bonemass power + padded armor + fire resistance mead (nice for shamans and torch guys since bonemass doesn't reduce fire damage). xD You will want to keep an eye out for 2* fulings and kite/block them if you do this as they still hurt quite a bit, but everything else just tickles.
This IS so well done and laid out. I am just now approaching this place and glad you did a video on it. I saw another channel do a raise ground with 2 stones then pick axe center...use the agetar pole weapon to swing kill! They can't hit while in the cheap defense!
Besides mining huge amounts of stone, those giant rock pillars make awesome plains bases. Build ladders and platforms until you reach the top and then build yourself a house on top. You'll have a heck of a view. Fulings can't climb ladders and I've never been attacked by a deathsquito when I am up top of the pillar. Later build a dirt wall around it to have a protected plains garden. Installing a portal at ground level paired to one at the top saves a lot of ladder climbing.
I never thought about using portals to connect vertical distances. That’s the only thing that was stopping from doing any high builds - the slug that is having to go up and down it constantly. Thanks!
there is no need to type "ghost" all over again in the console. you can use arrow up to navigate to the previous command. Now why this only works once and not for tthe entire console history like in the terminal emulators on GNU/Linux is beyond me, tho.
It took me several minutes to realize you were saying fulings. I thought you were talking about how the shield would protect your from feelings. Now I need to find something else to protect from all these feelings!
I have the Drake helm at full upgrade level and fully upgraded troll clothing. I HATE the movement penalty of the armor higher than troll. I'm about to take on the plains with drake helm, troll armor and serpent shield (all fully upgraded) I have been to the plains several times but usually I was only baiting Lox out of the plains so I could kill them for their meat and hide :P
I cannot stress this enough....Frost Arrows!!!! being able to slow fulling that are coming at you is pretty great. Another bit of advice for the timing of coming to the Plains. I would start getting stuff in the Plains before killing Moder but after you have all the Wolf Armor, Silver Shield, Frostner and the Draugr Fang. That way after killing Moder you can go right into Blackmetal and Linen production. The last thing you want is to kill Moder and trigger the possibility of Fulling Invasions while still in Silver gear. Additionally, beware the red skinned 2 star fulling. He is death. Silver shield just won’t block them fully. Even with a parry. Honestly the Blackmetal shield doesn’t fully block them if your skill isn’t high enough.
Another way to do it is have double stacks of chests, with two signs above the doublestack, and torches in between the doublestacks. That way you can see the signs better.
For anyone who reads this! I highly recommend you become very proficient with the bow. Deathquitoes will circle you after the first hit and then go in a straight line on the attack. You can use a Finewood Bow with wood arrows and they will die in one shot. Best case scenario is killing them before they notice you. Get hit by one with armor less than upgraded iron armor is most likely instant death but killing them can be very cheap and the needles are best in slot arrows. Good luck!
If you're on the tiller, the DQs attack your boat, not you. If you stand, the last second bow trick is key, especially if you have a crap shield because you stumbled too close to plains trying to find another biome.
Mosquitos - Block/Strike if melee. With bow Roll/Shoot. MUCH better to have like an iron bow as the charge speed is faster. Obviously if you see them coming they usually come straight in so you can just pop them with a bow, but if you get jumped the dodge or block is your friend.
Something I never see anyone do. Spears are my favorite weapon for Plains. The M3 Spears throw makes killing deathsquitos easy. Just toss it as they fly in. Saves arrows and one shots. The throw will also stagger 1 star fulings so you can walk up, the Spears auto re-equips, and you can crit it.
To me plains wasnt nearly as dangerous to settle my base in as swamp was. All you really have to take with you are supplies for a portal and all the lower level metal to make a fully upgraded forge and workbench + 10 tin for a cauldron and 10 iron for blast furnace. Everything else you can just portal back and forth. Fulings that you encounter when landing will be no more than 2 unless youre a chad and try to land at a fuling village for whatever reason. Lox arent aggressive so they wont bother you when you land and deathsquito’s... have atleast wolf armor level 2 and be topped off for food and they only do 30-40 damage if you dont block, i always carry my weapons with me including a shield and squito’s are really vulnerable if you parry and stagger them
Hubby and I landed on the plains today, and I should have known better :( I decided that we would go with nothing but troll armor, an atgeir (for me) and a bronze axe for him. He forgot his shield. I can't tell you how many times we died, and then died every freaking time we came out of the portal. I got so mad that I threw my headset at one of my monitors, and now that monitor needs to be replaced. Folks, if you are very vanilla with combat skills and haven't conquered the swamp or mountains, think twice before hitting the plains. :( Last but not least, I'd like to give a shout out the little shit fuling that peppered my butt with a torch while screaming something in Gremlin language at me.
Wish I would've found this video about four hours ago.. finally explored enough to find a planes biome and promptly got my boots smoked by a bunch of green little people with spears and arrows.. sigh..
When I first passed by a plains biome in game on a karve, my mate who was with me as a passenger got oneshotted by a deathsquito, and the last spawn point was way back. So Ihad to get her stuff and go back to pick her up again.
5:46 What would the wood cost be to contain the work bench inside the wall and cover the walls with roofing to protect it all from the weather? not sure if the portal degrades over time or can become unusable without a roof
It is difficult to explore anywhere safely because it is not a persistent world it is an aged design where stuff just auto spawns in and often right on top of you giving you zero notice. I had times 3 Fuling spawned right on top of me then I am like wtf 3 more right after and then 3 more again and thought this is such a stupid game the AI and auto spawns are just so bad. The aggro systems are also so archaic sad when FFXI a 1990's designed game "released late 2002" has MUCH better aggro+AI.The AI systems and coding is like NOOB city in Valheim.
My starting island touches a second island with a huge swamp and a plains biome on it, I set up a base just at the edge of where the islands touch in a nice little meadows
Armor from Abomination works best for plains. Moskito doing no dmg when you have it. Just avoid goblin shaman because one shot can kill you. I was use Agitara and bow all my game and no problem with that gear on plains.
First vegvesir i found for yagluth was serriously 1m from his alter 😂 Didn't find any stonehenges before i found yagluth spawn, that was also next to the alter 😂😂
Learning about this game in 2024 is so interesting. For example, super weird how the plains used to look sort of more like a desert biome before they added all the yellow grass and brush
@@Kysen No, I think it's an actual editing error. You went straight from shields to armor, skipping food. Then said "the three food I mentioned earlier". It's clearly sausage and the soups, but still a little jarring to have that skip in there.
Lox can also jump on your boat and crush you and the boat in a simple sweep, that is if you get too close to land. First hand experience here... Slightly annoying.
Nice video. I found three Yagluth altars before I found the location marker at a stonehenge. In terms of base security I always did a trench around my plains base, or any for that matter.
I built my main settlement in the Black Forest. It only took 7 hours and 130 deaths to get the house and wall built, almost immediately after defeating Eikthyr and getting the antler pick. I decided to upgrade it to a trelleborg style ringfort, with a ring of raised earth and stake fences, as well as a moat full of many sharpened stakes. So far so good. I decided to also build small huts right next to every burial chamber I came across, for quick respawn.
Root chest piece turns deathsquitos into a joke. I went there with level 3 root chest, level 3 iron pants, level 3 deer cape and level 3 root mask. Deathsquito does like 12 damage to me.
How did you activate the cheat code? I have went to Steam, right clicked on Valheim and clicks Properties; typed -console, went into the game and click f5. And then nothing happens. Please help. And thank you for the video. 😄
For a safe barley and flax farm. Look for an island that’s on the plains coast. Then cultivate the ground there. If it’s far enough out, the deathsquitos and furlings can’t get to you. By using a lot of stone and the hoe you can always make your remote island farm bigger. Place a portal on the island so you can easily go back and forth in safety
Once you get the black metal buckler a lot of the enemies become easier. You can perfect block a Lox and still get the stagger damage on them. I know, since I use that method to farm them for meat. Then the berseker can also be perfect blocked, but to do that you need to have at least lv2 (Mine is max level) on deathsiotes I just let them hit me and then attack them. Fulings again perfect block stab (Lv 4 Black Metal Sword) the shamens are a nightmare, unless you can get to them quickly.

Dont think this game needs any more guides for now.
I just went there for the first time now i cant get my loot back because a musquito killed me😑
Nice video. I found three Yagluth altars before I found the location marker at a stonehenge. In terms of base security I always did a trench around my plains base, or any for that matter.
Trenches are great, and it's fun to see trolls and other enemies stumble into them.
"Toe sooday"???
9:00 Hoooly shit that zoom time! Which bow is that??
Draugr fang
Hugin: HI!
Everyone: GO AWAY STUPID BIRD!
2 Content updates later he's the new boss.
That would be a Hugin-Provement 😂
I built my main settlement in the Black Forest. It only took 7 hours and 130 deaths to get the house and wall built, almost immediately after defeating Eikthyr and getting the antler pick. I decided to upgrade it to a trelleborg style ringfort, with a ring of raised earth and stake fences, as well as a moat full of many sharpened stakes. So far so good. I decided to also build small huts right next to every burial chamber I came across, for quick respawn.
Root chest piece turns deathsquitos into a joke. I went there with level 3 root chest, level 3 iron pants, level 3 deer cape and level 3 root mask. Deathsquito does like 12 damage to me.
Tame loxes do breed (now?) - tamed three, kept them well-fed with cloudberries, now I got 11.
Still trying to understand why anyone would wear the Santa cap...seems like a joke. Why bother?
You Edited Out the Food bit in this Tutorial :((((((((((((////
Shoot from Stealth when you take them unaware!
my moder boss is on a peak in the middle of a plains
good stamina = carrot soup ^^
I'm sure someone mentioned it in the comments already but they can absolutely be bred. I'm not sure if this is a recent thing.
You can parry all the attacks of the lox! It's gamechanging! lol
How did you activate the cheat code? I have went to Steam, right clicked on Valheim and clicks Properties; typed -console, went into the game and click f5. And then nothing happens. Please help. And thank you for the video. 😄
All biomes are best explored with a Glock or two.
I have plains on my main island not big but still there
Have anyone arrived at the plains for the "first" time with these kind of gear ? You should really make a safely arrive with more resonable gear.
you should be avoiding plains until you can make this gear
Wood Armour is the best for dealing with the Deathsquito just don’t get hit by fire damage
I just spear mosquitos before they attack
nice video, thanx.
For a safe barley and flax farm. Look for an island that’s on the plains coast. Then cultivate the ground there. If it’s far enough out, the deathsquitos and furlings can’t get to you. By using a lot of stone and the hoe you can always make your remote island farm bigger. Place a portal on the island so you can easily go back and forth in safety
Once you get the black metal buckler a lot of the enemies become easier. You can perfect block a Lox and still get the stagger damage on them. I know, since I use that method to farm them for meat. Then the berseker can also be perfect blocked, but to do that you need to have at least lv2 (Mine is max level) on deathsiotes I just let them hit me and then attack them. Fulings again perfect block stab (Lv 4 Black Metal Sword) the shamens are a nightmare, unless you can get to them quickly.
Please make a video on that building in the plains!
indeed! xD
First time hitting plains i had fully upgraded wolf armor, silver shield, iron mace and Draugr bow, didn't die in plains yet ;)
