*Correction:* 2 Things I need to correct/clarify in the video. It looks like you can no longer dig below the center part of a fortress. You can however use a battering ram to destroy the lower part of it and it will still float. The other thing is apparently I was unclear with my words about resistance and gave people the idea that there were none, at least for the charred. As many people have pointed out on the comments the charred are resistant to pierece. I apologize for not speaking more clearly and causing some confusion.

Using the dodge roll at the correct time makes you avoid taking damage from the fire blobs. Pretty useful actually if you're getting swarmed as it will damage everything else.

My first visit in ashlands I was immediately in a 5v1 and as I was fighting, it turned into a double digit fight even though I was hugging the shore. I didn’t even know it at the time but I was near a dverger camp which got instantly destroyed by a morgan so it went from 1v20 to 7v20 to 1v15 and then I decided to run back to my boat only to get shipwrecked and burn in the water after the stone I climbed was destroyed by something

[Xtoffler]

I'm hyping myself back up to give the ashlands another shot. I just rage quit because I spent 40 minutes getting to the ashlands only to find all the beaches were swarming with enemies, so I spent another 30 minutes traversing the rocks trying to find a good place to set up a quick base, then I found a structure in the water I was going to use as fob until I fell in the water, got stuck and burnt to death

They're not surtling cores, they're molten cores and they're inside of the fortresses. The KROM sword is very useful. The game devs should make the skeletons you can summon as powerful as the charred warriors and marksmen.

[Samoooooooo]

Love the video brother! my only problem was it was too short!
Also this one didnt have any robotic voice sounding sections which was great!

[itsssnek]

Charred are resistant to pierce damage, theyre damage numbers when hit with pierce weapons are grey'd out rather than yellow or white like frost on vultures and lightning on morgens

[dr.mayankpunia]

Sequence break tip...you can reach ashlands with just long boat u can easily reach those spike structures and then swim from structure to structure amd rwach land

[Tyrael]

can't wait to play valheim again, ash lands seems dope!

[WanderAbroad-pqph]

In my opinion the shield generator is a throw away.

1. It's field is so in your face that at times it's hard to see
2. It's so apparent it's an eyesore - they should have made it very translucent till barely noticeable unless struck and then have glow or something.
3. Return on investment is incredibly lame - enemies can walk right through and if you tick off one of the big guys that jump smashes or fire blobs they walk in and simply do mass damage.
The materials for building it and the constant bone feed make it annoying. At least put the bones on a timer and they count down like a torch but using bones for every strike? A joke.

They insist they don't want a tower defense game but include tower defense concepts and in order to balance them they are gimped or impractical to the point of nullifying
their necessity. Take their turrets that shoot both enemies and you. They break their own rules when Ashland castles have turrets that only target you but nobody else.

i tried to siege the fortress without a battering ram, all was good until i got inside and started to dig out the middle part. there are walls now that go deep in the ground making it impossible to dig around and go inside. had to use battering ram in the end, to break the door.

[aristatuisvandenberg]

we have had some consistent damage on a fort base from the fallen Valkyrie fire, the shield bubble helps but if she gets inside she will wreck the place

[Earadon]

Weird how everyone complains about going melee but the more I do it the more I seem to find weaknesses to exploit...huh...

[gunzorzz]

- Charred does not seem to be weak to anything, possibly spirit dmg but Frostner dosnt hold up anymore unfortunately. But i found the Mistwalker sword is absolutely a banger VS any Charred. You can even keep the pesky warrior as a sweet spot where u can hit with both light and heavy attack without them be able to attack back.
- Fortresses can be build on side to enter them without a battering Ram (alltho i recommend using one cuse its just too awsome) And the middle room inside u can dig underneath to access the inside and final loot.
- If you have decent block and a sword (once again i recommend the Mistwalker sword) you can make quick work of the Morgens, do the perfect parry and quickly into the heavy attack will kill it in around 5-6. U do need ashlands food cus it will take a good amount of stamina.
- Bonemass buff has save me time and time again in Ashlands as MOST enemies deals physical damage and you can litterly just stand there and tank all the damage with the buff up. (I run the light armor. Asksvin)
- The green upgrade for weapons that gives a chance to root enemies does NOT work on flying enemies such as the Fallen Valkyrie, works wonders on any land enemy tho as i have a Root Ripper that i love.
- If you run the dual axes, always have a secondary melee weapon on hand, they break FAST. Sure they deal insane damage but they do have one of the lowest durabilities i have seen.
- The Ashwood spike wall are cheap and extremely effective defensive structure if you do not have or want to set up a base in a cleared Fortress. The cost is 6x ashwood and will snap to foundations, walls, pillars etc.
- I would recommend crafting both Ashlands capes and always carry both of them as one is great for combat and the Asksvin cape just gets you from A to B to much quicker and you can easily outrun any enemy even running 90* to the wind and only recieve half the speed buff. I would also recommend having feathercape on you in case u will need to fall from a height or do some lava hopping for Flametal farm(If u do hit the lava aint no gear or potions that will save you anyway, so why not fall slower and jump higher)
- The Ashlands caves will always spawn one Morgen when u have looted and head torwards the exit/entrance again. It's not a random spawn and it always spawns near the exit.
- Fallen valkyries are easily defeated with a crossbow. If you get a hit in before they detect you, you can delete half or 1/3 of their bar in that one shot.
- Ashland storm is not really that dangerous and u can still be outside of a shield bubble. It's kinda like the mountain Blizzard, it just reduces visibility.

[gambitsheild]

The spawn rate for a 10 person server in the ash lands is ridiculous.

[paulstjean]

i've taken over a fortress and it seems like it isn't indestructible the charred twitchers and morgen are hitting the walls every so often and there are damage numbers popping up mixed in with the too hard and one of the doorways seems to be missing chunks on the outside theres actaully a small gap i can see through to the outside now after about a day of twitchers throwing rocks at the wall. it looks like they are slowly chipping away at the wall.

Hi FireSpark81!
I was wondering if we could mine Flametal using the Lava Blob explosion and if it would trigger the sinking of it.
Have you tried?
Love your work BTW, very useful! Big Valheim fan here!

[gt_mouse]

OMG YOU CAN CONNECT STONE PORTAL TO NORMAL PORTAL WHAAT😮 Huge game changer

[silentdeath]

Magic truly is king in the ashlands, got magic staffs only now on my bar, no mele weapons apart from a axe for chopping wood and a pickaxe for mining. I am running around having a really fun time going full magic. Someone i watch on twitch struggle like crazy with mele and the ripper.

[OhKindSir]

The center area of the 2 fortresses that I dug next to went below the dig limit.
