Valheim: Best Order To Visit Each Biome

screenrant.com:

The Norse mythology-inspired game currently has seven biomes for players to explore, with two more undeveloped ones on the way. However, each biome often has a distinct feature that makes exploring it tricky, often needing something from the previous biome to survive. This natural progression helps keep a clear path while giving players room for flexibility and challenge if they so wish.

The currently finished biomes in include the Meadows, Black Forest, Swamp, Mountain, Plains, Ocean, and Mistlands. Two other biomes, the Deep North and Ashlands, can be found in the game, but neither is complete, so players have little purpose in visiting either. Developer Iron Gate Studio has shown off a few of their current plans, with 's Ashlands and Deep North seeming to take priority for them now that the Mistlands is out.

This leaves the Plains and Mistlands, the hardest of the biomes currently in the game, as the last two biomes players should visit. The final biome, the Ocean, can be visited anytime a player has a boat, as they are relatively safe outside the occasional serpent encounter.

In the Meadows, players will find 's first boss Eikthyr, who needs to be defeated to acquire the antler pickaxe. This pickaxe will be used to mine copper and tin in the Black Forest. Players will also need to obtain fine wood from trees and surtling cores from Black Forest dungeons to make necessary structures like
