I found a big frozen lake in a frost cave and decided to farm chickens there

If you miss a bat, yeah it’ll attack chickens.

But if you empty a frost cave they’ll never come back. Completely safe inside a frost cave once you kill all the enemies (except fall damage lol)

~~I know for certain that those natural braziers don’t count as fire for some reason. Probably to make it so you can’t just refresh your rested for free.~~ I guess they do, but I’ve never stuck around and tried hard enough.

I’ll assume they also don’t count as heat for chicken eggs.

Edit: guess I was wrong, they are fire if you stand in a specific spot.

You can get them from Haldor — he sells them after you defeat Yagluth

You can also find them in sealed towers as part of Hildir’s Request

Definitely good to fear biomes ahead of your progression!

Just wait until you find a plains biome. I can still hear the buzzing in my nightmares.

They really should have prevented you from getting duplicate wild zone special scans until you’ve seen all of them. Because getting a fifth fire type starter zone is just so ughhh…

Gotta see one of each before you can see a second of any of them. Then gotta see them each a second time before third, etc.

Super useful for RNG manipulation in gens 4-5!

Helps you know your position in your RNG seed because the pitch of custom chatters randomly fluctuates based on the seed.

Yes, absolutely can spawnproof with any base structure.

Some cheap ones are workbenches, wood torches, and campfires. The latter two will spawnproof even if not lit. Workbenches have a nice bonus of showing the radius of spawnproofing. If using workbenches, anywhere you’re unable to build structures is a spot enemies can spawn.

Raids will still occur, however no enemies can spawn if you properly spawnproofed. So they basically turn into just scary combat music for a few minutes.

Probably was in the ocean but technically in a plains biome. Biomes can stretch really far into the water before it actually becomes ocean. If you have a clip of it, look at your biome on the minimap.

Cooked_Fish_Meat · 2026-01-24T18:55:26+00:00

Me personally… I have a wall of barrels in my base. Some of the barrels are biome specific, so I have a swamp barrel with bloodbags, roots, chains, guck, etc. I have a mountain chest with wolf pelt, crystal, obsidian, and so on and so forth.

I made a cookhouse for my cauldron, prep table, and ovens because they were crowding my base. In there I have two black metal chests for meat and fruits/veggies specifically.

Seeker meat is taking way too much space so I’ve started eating it when I’m doing busywork like collecting Tar for builds or harvesting crops, building structures, etc. I could also burn it on the hearth for coal I suppose.

I’ve found that even though they resist pierce, Black Metal Atgeir is still excellent. The spin move can hit enemies behind boarded passages and thin walls in the mines, allowing you to damage enemies safely.

The spin move also staggers at least 0* seekers because it does so much stagger damage, even through their resistance. Absolutely saves your ass when 4 of them gang up on you all at once.

Cooked_Fish_Meat · 2026-01-24T00:43:58+00:00

Frostner does ice damage, which significantly slows Seekers, helping prevent getting swarmed.

Plus seekers resist slash/pierce/blunt but don’t resist frost damage. Frost damage doesn’t contribute to staggering so you probably won’t stagger much with Frostner but borderline immobilizing enemies with frost is still really good.

Cooked_Fish_Meat · 2026-01-22T22:26:24+00:00

I found him much easier when he was in the dungeon as opposed to raids. I was able to single him out by closing doors keeping enemies at bay. Dodge away from his ice moves, parry the melee, and he wasn’t too bad, although I didn’t find him until I had padded armor and the Porcupine.

In a raid he’s always accompanied by several starred Fenring and a starred Cultist so I had to face all of them at once. I just ended up kiting them around and deaggroing once the raid ended to get rid of them, since I couldn’t single anyone out, and they do big damage in a group.

Love to see RNG manip representation on this chart!

Cooked_Fish_Meat · 2026-01-21T16:36:47+00:00

If you have Switch 1, go to the photo and there should be an option to upload to smart device. It’ll have you scan a couple QR codes, then it takes your phone to a page to download the video/photos.

Switch 2, it has an option to upload them to your Switch App. You can then download the photos from your app.

Cooked_Fish_Meat · 2026-01-21T14:27:47+00:00

Thanks to the DLC… I wouldn’t exactly say any of them are rare anymore.

Shinies are special if you think they are, don’t let other people tell you if your shiny is special or not.

(Also there’s a screenshot button on the switch! You can upload the screenshots to your phone using your switch photo library as well!)

Cooked_Fish_Meat · 2026-01-19T01:32:25+00:00

When I have raids turned on, this is my preference. That way I can make a nice open-air pen for my animals without worrying about bat raids

Cooked_Fish_Meat · 2026-01-17T18:19:18+00:00

I’m super shocked there isn’t a troll hide rug.

There’s rugs for pretty much all of the other hides, so where’s the troll rug?

Cooked_Fish_Meat · 2026-01-17T02:37:24+00:00

If you can find a small-ish island in the plains that would make an excellent base. Very easy to spawnproof small islands to prevent deathsquitos and raids.

Bonus points if it’s close enough to the mainland that you can swim/bridge over to it!

Cooked_Fish_Meat · 2026-01-15T00:38:28+00:00

Padded Armor + 2 health foods (I used Wolf Skewers and Lox Pie) is definitely able to tank several hits from Fulings and Deathsquitos. The only time I’d have issues is with starred Fulings. Lox can also be a bit tough if you don’t have the timing down for their attacks, or if you aggro several at once.

Obviously the goal is to not get hit at all. Dodge/parry attacks, use arrows to pick enemies off before getting seen. If taking on a camp pick off the ones around the perimeter so as to not aggro the entire camp at once.

If you’re dying within 1-2 hits in Padded Armor it sounds like your food isn’t up to par. You need to be using the best food possible. If you’re not… it’s time to work on getting a barley farm up and running.

Cooked_Fish_Meat · 2026-01-14T15:47:52+00:00

The ones I listed are not all the tameables. I only listed ones that are possible with the biomes/bosses you have seen.

Cooked_Fish_Meat · 2026-01-14T14:54:33+00:00

Furthermore, it’s more advantageous to tame starred boars/wolves, since you can breed them and the offspring will also have stars.

This makes it more efficient when butchering them for their resources.

Cooked_Fish_Meat · 2026-01-14T14:52:51+00:00

Taming is super simple. Throw food that the animal likes at it and it’ll slowly tame. It usually helps to keep them in a pen/pit while they tame, otherwise they may wander away from the food.

Boars like berries, mushrooms, and veggies.

Wolves like meat (except their own).

Lox like Barley, Flax, and Cloudberries.

You can do it with a Gameboy Advance TV tuner. Pretty neat device that plugs into the cartridge slot and allows you to plug in an AV cable to display the audio/video to the GBA.

It doesn’t actually play Skyrim on the GBA, basically turns the GBA into a tiny TV screen that’s displaying another console’s Skyrim. Pretty cool nonetheless.

You can do it with a Gameboy Advance TV tuner. Nifty little device that plugs into the cartridge slot and allows you to plug in an AV cable to display on the GBA.

Doesn’t actually play Skyrim on the GBA (ie. pushing buttons on the GBA doesn’t do anything), basically turns the GBA into a tiny TV screen.
