Valheim News

We got a Valheim patch inbound! It’s pretty tiny, but absolutely needed. There was massive outcry for changes to be reverted from last patch, which totally made monsters aggressive beasts that destroyed your home at the slightest hint that you were trying to hide from them.

Now, in the official changelog, the devs claim to have taken the criticism in earnest and made some tweaks to monster behavior to make things more enjoyable. Hopefully, everything turns out ok, but we’ll see if more changes are needed through gameplay.

Conclusion

Welp, that’s everything! The Caves and Cliffs update is fixing all of its bugs while simultaneously making us wait an eternity for the second part. The Apex crew is having a splendid time, appreciating the weather of Elsa. Or at least I am. Hurricane prep sucks. Valheim didn’t necessarily revert their changes, but they tried to adjust things to appease their fans. Well, I hope you enjoyed this news, so have a great day!
