Overview

Valheim Overview

Journey through the mythical Tenth World as a fallen Viking warrior tasked with slaying Odin’s ancient enemies in Valheim. Explore a massive world of lush meadows, dark forests, boggy swamps, snow-capped mountains, and sunny plains inhabited by various mythical, and often deadly, creatures and wildlife. Forage and hunt for food to sustain you on your journey while gathering resources to craft tools, armor, and weapons to help you in your quest. Build shelters of your own design to protect you from the cold, rain, and snow, as well as the creatures that prowl your surroundings. Construct a small hut, a traditional Viking longhouse, a massive stone castle, or even a warship to sail across the seas and discover new land. Once you’re settled, it’s time to summon and take on vengeful bosses of myth and legend to gain Odin’s favor and forever immortalize your name in the halls of Valhalla.
