The Plains look like pleasant golden fields. They contain the single most notorious enemy in Valheim and will kill a mountain-geared Viking in seconds if you wander in casually.
Deathsquitos
A deathsquito is a giant mosquito that hits for enormous damage and makes a very distinctive whine before it reaches you. Learn that sound. If you hear it, stop, turn, and get your shield up.
They die to a single hit from almost anything, so the fight is entirely about not being caught off guard. Parrying one is the cleanest answer.
Fulings and their camps
Fulings are the goblin-like natives. Individually manageable, in a camp they will overwhelm you. Their villages hold the black metal, and the bigger stone-walled ones are a serious siege.
- Pull them a few at a time rather than aggroing a whole camp.
- Watch for fuling berserkers, which are far tougher than the rest.
- Fuling shamans buff the others, so kill them first.
What you are here for
Black metal from fuling camps, for the best conventional weapons in the game.- Barley and Flax from fuling villages, which you can then farm yourself. Barley makes bread, flax makes linen.
- Lox meat from lox, which makes some of the best food in the game.
- Tar from tar pits, for building.
Once you have black metal and bread you are ready for Yagluth, and after that the Mistlands.
