Hugin · Tip
Welcome to Valheim
Start tips: try to interact with things in the environment. Some items like stones, branches and pieces of flint can be collected and used for crafting. To open your inventory and crafting screen press Tab.
Hugin & Munin
Every raven tutorial and what triggers it.
Hugin · Death
You suffered a mortal blow!
Each time you are struck down, you will forget a small part of your abilities and drop your belongings at the site of the accident. If you wish you were home by now I'd recommend building a bed, wherever home may be.
Hugin · Inventory
Take stock of your inventory
Most items must be crafted. However, due to your recent departure from Midgard, you will have to recall the true shape of objects. Just pick things up and it will all come back to you, I'm sure. My lesser brother, Munin, tells me one can fashion a stone axe out of wood and stone.
Hugin · Hunger
You need sustenance
Consuming food is of utmost importance to a viking warrior, even in the afterlife. Having a full belly both fortifies your health and improves your stamina. Food can be found everywhere in the world, and a great deal of it can be prepared at a cooking station.
Hugin · Food
A tasty morsel!
You have found a snack. Consume it to improve your health and stamina. Be aware that before long you will grow hungry again, so try to always have at least a couple of different meals ready.
Hugin · Hammer
You have crafted a hammer
With this tool you will raise mighty halls and towering fortifications. Start by building a workbench. This in turn will enable you to construct other things.
Hugin · Hoe
You have crafted a hoe
This tool is used for landscaping. You could say it is the perfect complement to the hammer. Use it to clear the ground and manipulate the terrain. It is easier to create buildings on level ground!
Hugin · Cold
Be wary of the weather
When the temperature drops at night, or if you are wet, you will suffer from being cold. This reduces your stamina regeneration. Seeking shelter by an open flame is your best option when this happens.
Hugin · Encumberance
You need to lighten your load!
If you carry too much luggage you will become encumbered, slowing you down and preventing you from regaining your stamina.
Hugin · Pickaxe
You have crafted a pickaxe
The black forest is rich in minerals. There you can find copper in the ground and tin lining the ocean shore. Now go forth and strike the earth!
Hugin · Ore
You have found some ore
Raw ore needs to be refined in the smelter before you can work it at the forge. To build a smelter you will need surtling cores. Search for them in the dark places beneath the earth.
Hugin · Forsaken trophy
Congratulations, warrior!
Return to the Sacrificial Stones with your Forsaken trophy and offer it as a sacrifice to make the Gods smile upon you.
Hugin · Wishbone
Bonemass left you a parting gift
It seems one of the many bones this living ossuary hid in his belly was a Wishbone. This bone contains powerful magic which guides you to things hidden in the earth. It can locate silver veins, but may also lead you to buried treasure...
Hugin · Black Forest
Turn back! This is a dangerous place
You have wandered into the Black Forest. This place can be very dangerous for those unprepared for it. Prove your worth by slaying Eikthyr.
Hugin · Invasions
You have been invaded
Monsters will lay siege to your camp from time to time. Strength of arms does not guarantee you victory in these situations. Build a strong defense to weather out the storm!
Hugin · Shield
You have crafted a shield
A shield allows you to block incoming damage. If your timing is perfect, the enemy may also be parried. Be careful though, if you block too many hits you will become staggered. The amount of damage you can block before becoming staggered depends on your maximum health, so if you plan on tanking a lot of damage you should eat food that increases your health. Heavier shields will block more damage but will also slow you down.
Munin · Introduction
Kraa! Well met, wanderer… I am Munin, brother to Hugin. I bring greetings from the Allfather. His eye sees through mine, I carry his words beneath my tongue. Keep his ways and I will come to you again…
Munin · Eitr
It seems you have had a sip from an Yggdrasil branch, and I bet you found it to your liking. Those fun colored lights you may see spinning around you might not all be in your head anymore. Just don't make it a habit. There may be some long term effects that are anything but magical.
Hugin · Trader Haldor
Well met, adventurer…
Rumour has it that some traders have found themselves into the tenth world. If you find yourself in need of special commodities you might want to seek them out. One of them should be somewhere in a forest such as this. I'm terribly sorry I can't be of more help... you'll have to keep an eye out.
Hugin · Trader Hildir
Why, hello there.
I've heard that a trader was seen in an area not unlike this one. She is an odd character indeed, but may have very special goods for sale. However, rumour has it that her stocks have been raided. She might need a helping hand, and you are starting to look fairly capable by now.
Hugin · Mysterious Location
Watch your step, warrior.
I have a feeling that this place could be more challenging than one might expect.
Munin · Ashlands awaits...
Well fought warrior! My brother and I will feast well on this offering! Yet still there is work for your arm… In the Ashlands dark clouds blister the sky and the King stirs on his bed of embers. Until today you have only quarreled. Now you must prepare yourself for war…
Hugin · Ashlands
Keep a cool head!
You have discovered the Ashlands, the very hottest parts of the tenth world. Here, water boils without a cauldron, and anything flammable can be set alight with just a spark. Be careful!
Hugin · Boiling waters
Ahoy!
It seems you have ventured to the boiling waters of the south. As you surely noted, this can be a deadly pursuit. To traverse these waters you will need to build something sturdier if you dont want to sleep with the fishes.
Munin · Bell fragment
A fragment of the past
Kraa! A sad memory lingers here... A faint echo in the air... Once these rang for joy to celebrate his passing but now he cannot bear the sound nor the reminder. If you seek to bring him give them voice once more.
Hugin · Trinkets
Adrenaline surges through you!
Kra-kraaa! Warrior, is that a gleaming trinket I see in your grasp? Don it with pride, and let its power course through you as you strike down your foes. Once your adrenaline reaches its peak, you are sure to be rewarded!
Hugin · Moulds
You have found a mould!
Moulds can yield fascinating results! But it is not enough to merely fill them with materials – they also need to be hardened with the help of extreme temperatures...
Hugin · Kall Fimbulbringer defeated
It is time...
Well done, warrior! You have found the sacrificial blood, the final key to restoring this realm. Now the All-Father has one last task for you – prove yourself worthy by journeying back to where it all began!
