If you are relatively new to Valheim, this book will get you up and running as a single player, taking you from the very beginning of the game through to beating The Elder, enabling you to enter the Iron Age.
The opening chapter covers surviving your first day, as you find food and shelter, and then the scope broadens out as you begin to equip and train yourself. The health and stamina mechanisms are explained in detail, the options for arming yourself explored and your hunting and fighting skills honed.
You will build a fine home by the sea, and venture into the Black Forest, when danger lurks and rewards are greater, until you feel ready to tackle the first of the Forsaken, Eikthyr, and move into the Bronze Age. Now you can become a farmer, cook proper meals, ferment mead and take part in coastal raiding with your own ship as you prepare yourself for the second great challenge.
The book includes a comprehensive index. There are 138 pages, 122 black and white illustrations, 18 tables and the text for this edition is fully up to date as of version 0.206.5.
