The Valheim Ashlands update is here! This is the playthrough of roughly 15-20 hours of our time trying to survive the Ashlands biome. Today, My friends and I try to figure out how to get to the inaccessible flametal ore. We fell into the lava way too many times, and then we attempt to siege a Charred Fortress with our shiny new Battering Ram. We've gone into this journey in pretty much spoiler-free.

Note: As mentioned in the video, this gameplay was recorded on the final release of the public test version of the Ashlands update, right before its official release. I'm not sure which changes, if any, have been made since!

    Has the Ashlands made you angrier than any other biome in this game, or is it just us? (As I say at the end, most of the deaths are from us not being well prepared, but at the very least it was also very funny for us at the same time!)
  • @hiroparadise8152
    watching this as a solo players makes me wonder, how in the fuck am I gonna even get there
  • Ashlands is the best example of "1 step forward 2 steps back" 😭
  • @andrewSPgaynor
    "I'm going to die aren't I". This is the role I fill in my Valheim group, a very important and integral one. You encourage the others to fight on and avenge you. Works every time. Except when it doesn't. Which is all the time in Ashlands.
  • @mista-ys5if
    Burning through food potions and everything this biome is hell
  • @reginaldbeef
    All that lava has evolved me from Mr Beef to Roast Beef
  • @happyguy5676
    literally just finished watching part 1 and then this dropped right when i was looking for part 2. perfect timing; loved part 1
  • @Desire-Willfree
    quick tip for you guys raid a siege castle by build stairs without breaking the gates and make it your base in ashland you will be protected from all walking mobs with excpetion of flying ones
  • @kitchencat1816
    Watching your group struggle has been an absolute delight. I have some fun ideas for that catapult though...
  • Great video, you had me laughing out loud multiple times. I loved the human catapult at the end!
  • @deneb9228
    Your video made me smile a lot, so thank you! Very similiar to my Ashlands experience with my 9 yo son. The arrival through the spikes is definately the most stresfull part! Finally got a foothold and started to grind our way towards to boss. Killed him a couple of days ago, but I lost count how many times we died while on the continent. Awesome, brutal biome, can’t wait for the Deep North 😄

    its crazy going from seeing maybe 1-2 regular serpents every once in a while, sometimes never it would seem like.. to like freaking running into 8-10 on a single trip. defiantly caught me off guard on my first trip into the ashlands
  • Buddy and I having a tough time just the two of us and we did a sort of cheaty world just to speed up testing the ashlands and wow is it hard even with max mistlands stuff!! Loving the biome so far though this is a challenge and it's different than the other biomes challenges so I really appreciate the devs for this work!! Also love the video funny and informative

    Hello, enjoyed watching your party's adventures before our own sets out tonight. One thing I do want to point out is that our beloved Feather Cape's very weak modifier to Fire can be overwritten by the Barley Wine. Resist and weakness don't cancel each other out, resist just overwrites any existing weakness. Hopefully we can avoid some lava mishaps of our own with mad hops (and our Tasty/Lingering Stamina energy drinks). Will make sure to watch out for fireballs though haha
  • @TheSuperGunde
    You're nailing the "asksvin" pronunciation now tbh!👍 Loving the content!
  • @res9471
    Been so hyped for this video! You're a legend
  • Duuudes, hahahaha, it was so fun to see you guys having your asses kicked there..... great gameplay, btw! congrats! So cool!

    Ashlands is really something else. I coop this game with my cousin and somehow we managed to sail through the spikes at first try (didn't do any research beforehand so the spikes were a surprise). On the main land it was even more terrible. You don't have 5 seconds rest to build a portal in a safe location, just hordes of enemies all the time. At one point we got so sick of it, I resorted to using the "kill command" in devmode. Literally pressing this key every 5 seconds killed about 10-15 enemies, it's insane! Seeing this video it seems were weren't the only ones struggling. I can't imagine doing ashlands as a solo player haha
  • How upset are they gonna feel when they could have built the large portal entirely at base and in the ashlands without needing to transport metal cause you can find it in vases to which all you need is two iron
