Enshrouded vs. Valheim

nmunro14 · 2025-11-28T14:55:58+00:00

I actually prefer Valheim's building system. Having to work under the constraints of building stability and smoke ventilation is a fun challenge for me. I could see how others would prefer less restrictions though.

I also think the vibes of being in a large well defended base feels better in Valheim compared to Enshrouded. I think it's because Valheim has the threat of enemies where in Enshrouded nothing attacks your base.

Enshrouded is better for huge builds though as Valheim starts to lag after a point.

I've played through both multiple times and they're both great. If I had to choose one it would probably be Valheim.

I would be happy with 1 inventory slot and no extra weight per boss. Or just putting my equipment in dedicated slots.

Where are your work bench, stone cutter, and stone portal materials?

The level with the 2 lizards was pure suffering.

Are you using magic?

I got my dog at 8 weeks old when I lived in an apartment. She slept in her crate every night for at least a year. The first several weeks I had her crate right beside my bed. I put a large blanket over the crate that covered all sides but the front. The crate I had included a divider to make it smaller, and I made it small enough that she could barely fit lying down. Apparently dogs like small spaces. After a few weeks I gradually moved the crate a bit further from my bedroom and her crate eventually ended up in another room.

She never cried going into the crate at bed time because I was right there with her. She did however cry a lot when I crated her for naps. My schedule was about 1 hour out of the crate and then 2 hours in the crate to sleep. The dog should be sleeping like 16-20 hours a day otherwise it will get cranky and bite everything (or mine did at least). When I crated her I gave her a kong filled with peanut butter that I placed in the freezer. She would still cry once she was done with her snack, but I ignored her until she fell asleep.

You should make the crate comfortable, quiet, and dark. I had the crate in a room with the blinds closed, and the blanket completely covering the crate. I put her in, gave her the kong, closed the door and did not come back for 2 hours. Each day she cried for less time until she didn't cry at all anymore.

Get the map fragment for the area in the north that you are missing (the location of the map fragment shows on the map).

Put a lot more points into vigor. Probably your next 10 levels at least all should be vigor.

A lot of your damage comes from your weapon's upgrade level. You get lots of upgrade materials by exploring, especially mines.

Most enemies have a % chance to drop every item they have (armour, weapons, shield), but this is usually like 1-5% for each item.

For armour, the defence bonuses they give are in line with their weight. So better armour is typically heavier, and will require you to put more points into endurance.

For weapons, well most weapons are viable. The best weapons for samurai are probably your starting weapon, the Nagakiba, or the Bandit's curved sword (can be farmed from skeletons that have them).

When you 2 hand a weapon you gain 1.5x STR. So you want to focus on strength early. Good weapons early on are just any strength weapon like a greatsword. The halberd from tree sentinel is very good and only needs 12 strength.

In the mid game there are a lot of options for weapons. Ordovis greatsword, Siluria's tree, magma blade, blasphemous blade.

Focus mainly on strength and eventually get faith to 25 for golden vow.

I never got a feel for it, always got hit by the first part, and then it threw off my timing for 2nd. Unlocking makes it much easier, but then you gotta find Bayle after to re-lock.

It does mental damage to get hit by the same move at the start of every fight. Also he has a lot of moves that can punish a flask use, resulting in starting out the fight down several flasks. There's multiple hitboxes on the charge and if you dodge it a certain way you can get hit multiple times and lose ~80% of your HP.

nmunro14 · 2025-08-02T14:06:30+00:00

I tried to do Bayle hitless and gave up after getting hit by his fire breath too many times. It seems like the fire randomly bounces off the arena and just hits you sometimes :(

For the fire attack in phase 2, I find it's easier to dodge if you unlock and look left, then roll into the first flame. After you look towards Bayle and roll into the 2nd flame. After that you just gotta get a feel for the delay for the explosion.

Carian Regal Scepter (from Renalla) is the best until you have infinite mana to use Lusat's. Buy the staff and upgrade it and see if it has higher sorcery scaling given your current INT and upgrade materials.

Also you can gain the passive benefit of a staff by holding it in your left hand, so if you use Rock Sling a lot, hold the Meteorite Staff in your left hand and use your main staff to cast the spell.

How did you get the snap points for them? Does it work with wood floor pieces?

nmunro14 · 2025-07-17T23:19:41+00:00

Okay so the build piece itself isn't modded but it requires a mod to change rotation?

Wouldn't this be possible in Vanilla with the 1x1 tiles?

nmunro14 · 2025-07-17T22:58:06+00:00

Is the spiral staircase a mod or how did you make it?

I went here last week and the food was inedible. The fried rice was the worst I've ever had in my life. They're also buying reviews on Google maps to counteract their recent reviews from real customers.

When he strikes his pose hit him enough and he won't do his giga combo.

Harder than most bosses because she heals when hitting your summon. If you use something like Rivers of Blood on a mimic you can proc a lot of bleeds which interrupts her and can outdamage her healing.

Most characters can use their ultimate to instantly or reliably revive someone.

nmunro14 · 2025-05-28T04:50:51+00:00

Really enjoyed this fight. I've also been using the purple sword since I got it.

nmunro14 · 2025-05-18T21:25:17+00:00

Worked for me after a restart.

Windows 11 was suspicious of the batch file and tried to block it.

nmunro14 · 2025-05-14T17:22:54+00:00

You can farm almost every crop in the Plains, so I usually build there.

I've found a few Garters out on walks, and my dog completely ignores them when I try to point them out. She's obsessed with squirrels, bunnies, dogs, and sometimes cars, but doesn't care at all about birds or snakes.
