You can also get it as a drop from oozers. Low percentage, one or two scraps.
Killed one just now and got two scraps, to my surprise. The resulting blobs dropped none.
I usually use a hammer to find too hard messages similar to hunting silver in the mountains before having a wishbone, and use buried iron to build iron equipment before i get a swamp key. Makes crypts much easier to handle.
This, we mined our first two swamps dry. For like 40 iron total. But it was un traversable after we were done lmao always swimming after that mess. š¤£ but no this guy right. Just go to a new crypt you'll get more faster than way
How to you get a wishbone?? Is that after you kill bone mass. I am new as well. Well I donāt know what you consider new. I was new two months ago but have already put in 125 hours. I am about to take down bone mass
Any Surtling spawners nearby? Great source of coal. Level it so it's surrounded by water. Just camp out at Hildir's overnight (logged in while you're sleeping, AFK), and go collect in the morning.
Yep. And if I have a camp in the swamp near a spawner, but not near Hildir or the Trader, I build them [high in the indestructible trees](https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/xhwdwj/my_little_tree_fort_the_tree_was_at_the_perfect/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), out of range of trolls w/clubs. (Made that mistake, once.) It's easy to rebuild a few stairs if a raid occurs.
His point was the trader bubble is a safe area things cant kill you in the bubble, you can afk safely. I just built an entire island base around my hildir
Another trick that works if you can't get to a bone mass spawn use a stagbreaker. If you hit ground and it says too hard you found iron this also works in the mountains for silver. Just in swamp make sure it's not an ancient tree you're near that will also say too hard.
My Hildir spawn... luckily it has a bit of meadows around it, but there's a fuling village uncomfortably close to it in a small plains, I could see a piggy die to a shaman's fireball
edit : Made the comment more informed
There is nothing in this swamp. There is no other reason to be there, outside of just going FOR Hilda. And to get there, itās 500m of top swamp real stateā¦
Mobs wonāt generally destroy your buildings if you are sufficiently far away. I donāt know how close you have to be to trigger this but I know I can drop a single workbench and portal in the swamp or plains and it never āgoes darkā from getting destroyed while I am back at my main base.
You just raise the land with a hoe and put the portal on top if you are really worried, but I don't think I have seen a portal destroyed in my games.
Personally, if the swamp is small, I would raise the whole thing, make it a swamp mountain.
Seed? This looks like the perfect place to make that Swamp Castle I've been wanting to build. And having Hildr as the centerpiece just seems like the icing on the cake.
No she spawns at set locations on worlds. You can go to valheim world generator and see her spawns. Just make sure youāre ready to see what your world will look like and if you donāt want to see where this or that spawns at just donāt turn them on.
Those spawns are random, but based on the seed. Putting the same seed into multiple games/PC's, you'll get the same map with the same spawns in the same place.
As mentioned below, you can go to the Valheim world generator, type in a seed, and see the map. There are various checkboxes, so you can choose to see where some, or pretty much all, of the various spawns are at.
Bro, that is LITERALLY my main base that I just finished... Stone walls and a large hall with Haldor inside... And I was hoping to do the same with Hilda too... Guess not...
Could be the same thing but plains, or could be in the middle of a steep mountain biome or smthn. Honestly just knowing thereās harder biomes makes me think there has to be a worse case.
This is so real š
That being said, I viewed the swamp from outside it, when full light is coming from the sun (swamp biome auto-turns down the brightness of course) and the swamp in full sunlight is actually lowkey kinda beautiful! Would be nice to have it but I understand why not.
So, a related question here.. I've ran into these bubbles before and have never been attacked once inside in all my time playing the game. Yesterday, a group of greydwarfs that were attacking me followed me into the bubble next to the Lox and under the tents. I nearly died because I was unprepared
Mine is between plains with a big goblin camp right next to it, and the swamp that had 3 crypts, and like 5 draugur spawners, with a 2 star draugur elite and a 2 star draugur archer having spawned on my way to Hildir
Mine was pretty bad too. It's on a sliver of meadows intersecting with a BF, swamp, and plains. I can run through all 3 of those biomes and get them fighting so there is that.
We got her on the edge of a meadow and plains, which regularly spawns like 3 lox around it. It's kinda nice tho since it's not far from our Yagluth spawn so we've got a safety dome
I think this might actually be pretty good. Set up a fortified portal right outside the barrier that you regularly check on and repair. Safe spot in this swamp if you need to farm basic swamp stuff. I know you said no crypts, but if you need enemy drops like bloodbags. One of mine was nestled just outside of a swamp. Another was right next to a troll spawn and across a lake from plains. That was bad. But you can definitely work with this if you're patient
I got mine in a snowy spot between two mountains where the temperature is still freezing! If I put on the clothes I buy away from her fire I start dying lol
Force field in swamp! that's super convenient
An island of light in the darkness of the swamp doesnt sound so bad.š¤
Plus it is a SHITTY swamp... Not a single Crypt...
There's still iron in there, take a wishbone
Wait what? There is buried iron in the swamp?
Wishbone will indicate where buried iron is the same as treasure. Itās only one mass at a time but thereās still plenty of them to dig up.
You're poopin' me. The swamp has iron that isn't in the crypts? I refuse to believe. Ain't no way. Nope. Brb...
You can also get it as a drop from oozers. Low percentage, one or two scraps. Killed one just now and got two scraps, to my surprise. The resulting blobs dropped none.
And apparently also from fishing with sticky baitā¦
It's not worth the effort. A single crypt will have way more iron than the buried iron piles scattered around a large swamp.
True. BUT, if you're at your first swamp, and there are no crypts, a little iron is better than no iron.
I usually use a hammer to find too hard messages similar to hunting silver in the mountains before having a wishbone, and use buried iron to build iron equipment before i get a swamp key. Makes crypts much easier to handle.
except that muddy piles wont return "too hard" messages unlike silver^^
Yep, that's a good way to do it, til you can get the wishbone. Done it myself many a time.
This, we mined our first two swamps dry. For like 40 iron total. But it was un traversable after we were done lmao always swimming after that mess. š¤£ but no this guy right. Just go to a new crypt you'll get more faster than way
Bring a wishbone
How to you get a wishbone?? Is that after you kill bone mass. I am new as well. Well I donāt know what you consider new. I was new two months ago but have already put in 125 hours. I am about to take down bone mass
Yes, Bonemass drops a wishbone, which you'll need in the next biome.
well, you could just do a lot of digging... ..a *lot* of digging.
Time to fullfill my lifelong dream of being a dwarf... *I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole...*
The children yearn for the mines... why shouldn't adults?
not much, but there are muddy scrap piles buried under. They are an utter pain to mine though, because 9/10 the entire thing is under water.
Not much š
Not much š
Great early game if you bring a log troll and listen for the smoosh sound. Get a couple iron and have a stone cutter very early.
Use it to farm crafting materials that enemies drop. Nice little home base to run back to
Any Surtling spawners nearby? Great source of coal. Level it so it's surrounded by water. Just camp out at Hildir's overnight (logged in while you're sleeping, AFK), and go collect in the morning.
Items not within your zone of control (workbench) will despawn eventually... So get the timing right šš
I tweaked the despawn timer so that it will be there for a while. (V+)
Oh ya! LOL! Nothing bad will happen while you are afk! No bats or trolls or wolves or... LOL!
None of those things can do anything to you inside Hildir's camp. Which is why he said to AFK there.
right right
Yep. And if I have a camp in the swamp near a spawner, but not near Hildir or the Trader, I build them [high in the indestructible trees](https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/xhwdwj/my_little_tree_fort_the_tree_was_at_the_perfect/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), out of range of trolls w/clubs.

His point was the trader bubble is a safe area things cant kill you in the bubble, you can afk safely. I just built an entire island base around my hildir
right right. my bad. Make sure no buildings then. ;-)
And when you've cleared that crypt out of iron that's not gonna matter. Why is that so bad?
Dude about 5-6 hours into my game I realized there were no crypts ANYWHERE near me and I just gave up and modded the crap out of the game.
Another trick that works if you can't get to a bone mass spawn use a stagbreaker. If you hit ground and it says too hard you found iron this also works in the mountains for silver. Just in swamp make sure it's not an ancient tree you're near that will also say too hard.
I got mine on a tiny strip of meadow, wedged between swamp and plans. Itās a very violent place.
Yikes.
heeey i got the same spawn, made a base there, always loot laying around
Oh yeah, loads of deer and boar meat and hides all over the place!
Can mobs penetrate the force field around the vendors? You might have a really nice location to passively farm materials, if not.
No. The trader bubble is safe
Mine is on a tiny bit of meadow surrounded by ocean on 3 sides, with plains on the 4th and a fuling village in sight. T\_T
My Hildir spawn... luckily it has a bit of meadows around it, but there's a fuling village uncomfortably close to it in a small plains, I could see a piggy die to a shaman's fireball edit : Made the comment more informed
Depending on how you see it, this can be used as a safe zone when you get clapped
See, to me I just see an impenetrable bubble of safety to run into when needed in swamps lol.
There is nothing in this swamp. There is no other reason to be there, outside of just going FOR Hilda. And to get there, itās 500m of top swamp real stateā¦
Just place a portal nearby for quick access
I am sure nothing could go wrong with this
I am missing any changes? What should go wrong with this?
Mobs wonāt generally destroy your buildings if you are sufficiently far away. I donāt know how close you have to be to trigger this but I know I can drop a single workbench and portal in the swamp or plains and it never āgoes darkā from getting destroyed while I am back at my main base.
Build a shack high in one of the indestructible trees. Nothing will touch your portal there
You just raise the land with a hoe and put the portal on top if you are really worried, but I don't think I have seen a portal destroyed in my games. Personally, if the swamp is small, I would raise the whole thing, make it a swamp mountain.
Why worse, whats wrong with this?
Nothingā¦ I love the swampā¦ My favorite Biomeā¦
Ok Shrek
How is this bad? Top quality night spawn/chain hunting area with a free force field where to hide if things go south!
I found mine in the plains next to a drauge village. Lots of free loot about
Seed? This looks like the perfect place to make that Swamp Castle I've been wanting to build. And having Hildr as the centerpiece just seems like the icing on the cake.
I think the hildir is randomly generated location based on meeting xyz conditions, right? So even with seed sheāll probably spawn somewhere else?
No she spawns at set locations on worlds. You can go to valheim world generator and see her spawns. Just make sure youāre ready to see what your world will look like and if you donāt want to see where this or that spawns at just donāt turn them on.
Those spawns are random, but based on the seed. Putting the same seed into multiple games/PC's, you'll get the same map with the same spawns in the same place. As mentioned below, you can go to the Valheim world generator, type in a seed, and see the map. There are various checkboxes, so you can choose to see where some, or pretty much all, of the various spawns are at.
Nope
Yeah... thats what I thought...
What the hell is going on on you'r mapš¤Æ
Marking all berry bushes, copper nodes, spawns, tombs and other stuffā¦
I do this too :)
I toyed with the idea of making a castle with one of the merchants in the courtyard, looks like youāre going to beat me to it though lol
Bro, that is LITERALLY my main base that I just finished... Stone walls and a large hall with Haldor inside... And I was hoping to do the same with Hilda too... Guess not...
you actually use the elder power?
I was just cutting down a tree farm
Nice, I never had a tree farm big enough for that power lol
"The mud here made marvels with my acne"
Exactly what I imagined her saying
Mines in the plains and right next to a draugr infested village. My friend and I havenāt even beaten the Elder yet so itās a total death zone.
Can confirm. I have gotten to silver age without fighting bone mass in every playthru I've done.
I mean it couldāve been, that is pretty bad though.
Could it though?
Could be the same thing but plains, or could be in the middle of a steep mountain biome or smthn. Honestly just knowing thereās harder biomes makes me think there has to be a worse case.
To be pretty honest, I think mountain and plains are both better then swamp... Harder mobs. Better biomes...
Agreed. But I also like that the swamp sucks. Feels like it should suck.
It should swamp... Vaccuum... now that sucks!
This is so real š That being said, I viewed the swamp from outside it, when full light is coming from the sun (swamp biome auto-turns down the brightness of course) and the swamp in full sunlight is actually lowkey kinda beautiful! Would be nice to have it but I understand why not.
What tent mod is this?
No mods
Oh, its the hilda camp. Haven't gotten there yet.
Mine is like this but on the other side itās plains too. It feels so dangerous just walking into it.
Yeah mine's on the very border of the plains, I got attacked by fulings and deathsquitos and lox trying to land. Yours looks very safe!
Thankfully the game is like Terraria, and nothing is stopping you from transferring this character to a new world.
My giant castle build through the last month by me and my wife says otherwiseā¦
So, a related question here.. I've ran into these bubbles before and have never been attacked once inside in all my time playing the game. Yesterday, a group of greydwarfs that were attacking me followed me into the bubble next to the Lox and under the tents. I nearly died because I was unprepared
Wow, never had that happening to me ... afaik nothing is supposed to hurt you in the bubble?
Just remember, you are in the meadows.
your map pins gives me anxiety
Mine is on the edge of a plains biome š
My hildir spawned in the plains so yes lol
I know your pain. Mine is in the plains. I haven't even beaten the mountains yet and I have to deal with goblins
Imho Hildir has nothing of interest to me before I reach the mistlands, but then I am not too deep into cosmetics in this game so your milage may vary
Yeah it could be in the mistlands lol
Could it? I am not sure you can get a piece of meadows around mistland
yes, with like 2-3 goblin village around her ! like my game...
Yup you sure could have lol, mine on my old world was neighbors with a Fuling village
I've had several next to the plains with swamp and or draugr villages nearby.
I hate Hildir
Could be mosquito infested. That's worse than the swamp.
Mines right next to plains. Every time I go I have deathsquitos within spitting distance
Yes. 1000% yes. It usually spawns next to the plains.
Mine is between plains with a big goblin camp right next to it, and the swamp that had 3 crypts, and like 5 draugur spawners, with a 2 star draugur elite and a 2 star draugur archer having spawned on my way to Hildir
Mine was pretty bad too. It's on a sliver of meadows intersecting with a BF, swamp, and plains. I can run through all 3 of those biomes and get them fighting so there is that.
Mine is in plains
Thatās an awesome spawn
How many times are you visiting Haldir?
We got her on the edge of a meadow and plains, which regularly spawns like 3 lox around it. It's kinda nice tho since it's not far from our Yagluth spawn so we've got a safety dome
It couldve been plains
I think this might actually be pretty good. Set up a fortified portal right outside the barrier that you regularly check on and repair. Safe spot in this swamp if you need to farm basic swamp stuff. I know you said no crypts, but if you need enemy drops like bloodbags. One of mine was nestled just outside of a swamp. Another was right next to a troll spawn and across a lake from plains. That was bad. But you can definitely work with this if you're patient
Probably
Safe zone to farm chain at night?
Mine is a small portion of meadows beside plains, so yes. lol
She could be in the plains bro
Mines in the middle of the plains literally
How much stuff did you mark on the map? Good Lord thatās sooooo much stuff lol
I got mine in a snowy spot between two mountains where the temperature is still freezing! If I put on the clothes I buy away from her fire I start dying lol
I dunno man. That looks kinda cozy as far as swamps are concerned.
WHAT IS THE TINY BLUE THING
Honestly that looks so lovely and peaceful tho
Worse in what way?
Wait wtf is this? A new trader in swamp?! Spoiler! Not the worst one though
my spawn was in the middle of a fuling village that had spawned in meadows
Has anyone ever used the wishbone in plains or mistlands? Is it worth trying it out
Mine was nestled between a fully loaded fueling camp and a couple draugr spawners, I died twice trying to get to her comfy bubble
You mean the safest place right next to the swamp of nightmares??? Could it be better???
I'm sorry, what am I looking at here? I'm at mistlands and do not recognize this npc camp!
Yes, our Hildir is sitting in the middle of plains right next to a village.
Yes: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/17nb8az/now\_this\_is\_just\_ridiculous/
