Prove your worth by smiting Odin’s nemeses, justifying your place amongst Valhalla’s finest!

Valheim is a sandbox open-world game that throws you in the mold of a deceased Viking, marooned in a procedurally-generated world that is neither life nor death. Here, you need to overcome the primary test of slaying five (5) godly beasts known as The Forsaken, to obtain the rights of prestige and glory to enter the sacred halls of Valhalla!

Steeped in fantastical elements of Norse mythology, you will encounter many dangerous creatures throughout your stay. Though the presence of animals like deer and boar brings some semblance of familiarity to your new surroundings, much of Valheim masks mysterious blood-thirsty monstrosities that crave your flesh above all else.

You begin your journeys with nothing more than your wits and instincts. Explore your new environment, learn from it, adapt, and build a temporary paradise by collecting essential materials and supplies to maintain your daily nourishments, crafting necessary tools and equipment to survive. 

Eventually, you will have built your own fort to call home, strong enough to deter the foul creatures roaming the lands. At some point, you will be forced to venture further, seeking rarer resources that are only acquired by intruding into ancient Biomes guarded by beings that are more savage and primal.

Nevertheless, these tribulations are the stepping stones for you to improve, forcing you to become stronger before you take on your true objectives in Valheim – killing all five (5) dreaded beasts that taint Odin’s name! Each of these entities lives in different regions around the world, some only accessible by traversing the unforgiving seas surrounding your starting island.

Not all is hopeless, though; you can band with other abandoned Vikings in Valheim, working together to achieve your combined goals. True to the Vikings’ code of honor, no in-fighting will be permitted as all of you cooperate to become worthy of the gods’ grace in entering the afterlife.

Valheim can be a lonely place to be without company, lest you find comfort in the presence of Greylings or even worse, Trolls. You do have a trusty Crow called Hugin that is there to advise you throughout certain stages in Valheim, but that is arguably the only companion that you will ever have unless other people join you on your World Seed.

There are tons of things to do, many places to discover, monsters to slay, and adventures to share. Go forth and claim your right to be chosen amongst Odin’s mightiest warriors!
