⚠️ Note: This update is for the Public Test branch of Valheim only, and may therefore be unstable! Prior to launching this update to the Default version of the game, we want to have a chance to discover bugs and fine-tune the balancing to ensure the best game experience. ACCESS: Right-click Valheim in your Steam library, then select ‘Properties’. In the new window, select ‘Betas’ and type in the code “yesimadebackups”. The Public Test branch should now be available for you to select.

A welcome change in my opinion. Having played through the biome both solo and duo im happy to see spawn rates reduced a bit. The initial landing is fine as a challenge, but after that it gets very tedious and boring after a while.

There’s only so many skeletons you want to parry before you’re fed up with the play loop. Hopefully this will make engaging the biome a bit more interesting and better paced.

    I defeated Fader for the first time last night. I definitely found Ashland’s taxing because I was always being mobbed. In the end I was able to explore long distances by carrying a portal with me and making a makeshift FOB in the entry way of putrid holes. I’m glad I beat it before the nerf, but I’ll enjoy exploring Ashland’s much more now.
