*Correction:* There is a mistake in this video that I have fixed as much as I can with the tools youtube provides. The items in the video I am using are at level 4. The max you will be able to reach when entering the Ashlands is level 3. However this should not affect things too much as from level 3 to level 4 the damage increase is neglegable. The damage difference between 3 and 4 for me is 2 for staff of frost and 6 fire damage for embers. Blunt is the same on staff of embers at 120.
Thanks to all who caught this.

The stairs to the fortress is amazing . So simple as well 🤣

[rachelkubacki]

We went into Ashlands blind and it was a fun mess of death loops but now we’re ready for take it seriously and this video will help

[Nilloc]

Landing at the Ashlands without any prep was a fun time, I can still hear our screams when the Morgan showed up

[admiralspandy]

Don't forget about the shield generator. It'll protect wooden structures, and prevent enemy spawning.

[markcole]

I’ve started exploring the ashlands and used wisplight torches to mark safe paths to run so I didn’t accidentally wander into water when running from enemies

[mclaine]

Magic? Naahhh...i´m a viking...not a caster! Grab my sword and shield...Thor is on my side! O_o

[kyleallen]

What Munin says is absolutely true, we have to use everything we've learned and prepared for to stand a chance in the Ashlands. We must wage war. Sneak attack then retreat to your bogus fortifications. Set traps like the bear traps, turrets, or a pit of the new ashwood spikes. Allow the larger enemies to kill the smaller ones.

I’ve been watching you back when you made content on basically only Conan exiles but I’ve been enjoying these newer more variety videos.

[vizehybris]

we use the houses nearby the fortress to clean, build a plattform and stairs and flybye into the fortress really easy to clean up the first one
your way is also pretty decent and clever thank you

Best valhiem guide Creator out there ✌🏻

I dunno, I think an easier fob is just what I did: I just landed on shore on a spot where no enemies were particularly close to me, found the nearest tower, climbed up the stairs, and put down my workbench and portal at the top of the tower. Despite it being out in the open, I've yet to experience any vultures noticing me when I'm up there, and none of the enemies can climb the stairs, so it's perfectly safe, and you don't need to really build anything other than the portal itself.

if you're going full magic build, 2 Eitr food + HP food (not stam), you will have to rebubble so much, you need the HP, there's just too many archers, even if you doge a lot.

[Havenhold]

Very well done video, thanks for the info on Ashlands!

[GDD]

I did manage to get there with my friend after killing eikthyr, just spent 3 longships, one karve and a bunch of portals built on rocks for checkpoint...and a lot...a lot of preparation and luck

[sertandoom]

Thanks for confirming- I was planning out much the same(not quite as well planned out).

[austinj]

Normally like your vids but you use dev commands no build cost for pretty much the whole setup process, kinda defeats the purpose of a guide.

@Firespark81 - digging under the walls of the center walls in a fort has been patched out :( Also may have found some uses for the staff of fracturing - aim up and it's a staff of fireworks. The other I was using the fact that they arc to carpet bomb the interior of a fort over a long period of time (just to be sure) got the spawners and maybe the chests in the center and contents may have despawned while I was "making sure". Deadraiser makes decoys :D staff of embers is useful against lavablobs, voltures, and twitchers. Staff of embers also leaves a ground effect(fire) which adds damage to things that aren't immune- can also down trees and break logs down without noisy axe swinging -also gets lots of coal.

Forgot the mention the Warlocks in those bases and the Valkyrie that seem to spawn a few hundred meters out. I tend to get at least 3 warlocks every time and they continuously spawn the green skele not to mention the green death that will rip right through the protection bubble in less than a sec. I take them out before even entering. Also, the archers and others on top of the wall will jump outside I would also highly suggest once one has taken over the base that a shield generator be the first priority as you are safe from the skele but not safe from the Valkyrie or the random meteors falling from the sky. All in all great tips. I normally skip making the steps and just use the hoe. to climb all the way up.

Love hearing people trying to pronounce Yggdrasil! xD
