Valheim Player Creates Impressive Riverside Base

A Valheim player has created an impressive riverside base upon discovering tar in the Plains. There are six fully realized biomes in Valheim, each containing its own helpful materials, but Tar may be among the most useful for base building.

Valheim challenges players to progress through the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age by defeating world bosses. Beyond slaying these enemies, any bases made along the way may also be raided by mobs who can destroy buildings if left uncontained. As Iron Gate Studio continues to improve the game through early access, new biomes are introduced with fresh enemies and resources. Valheim's Mistlands biome was added in 2022, and it includes many new enemies, crafting materials, and food items. As players anticipate the release of Ashlands, one gamer has made a unique base along a river with the aid of materials found in the Plains.

Reddit user CosmicScribe26 recently shared thirteen images of a base that their fiancee made. The first image highlights the structure from a nearby river, with many purple and blue flags visible from the entrance. The photos capture every angle of the building, with the inside containing a Cooking Station over a campfire, a Cartography Table, Deer Rugs, Standing Iron Torches, and countless flags. The Reddit user stated that their fiancee had discovered Tar, likely resulting in the prevalence of Darkwood. Tar can be dropped by Growths or in tar pits in the Plains biome. There's also a lot of Stone used in this building, which may suggest the players had made use of the Valheim Plains Stone pillars.

This riverside Valheim base is impressively symmetrical, as it implements arches in multiple areas, and two Raven Adornments face each other in the center of an open window. Connected to the Raven Adornments around the base are Hanging Braziers that illuminate the blue and purple flags that hang from every section of the structure. The base has a port that's easily accessed and an overhanging area on the opposite
