Valheim Viking in the Ashlands next to a skeleton.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Valheim's massive new Ashlands update adds so much content that it is worth revisiting for multiple reasons. The indie Viking survival game first launched in 2021 and was an instant success. Eight days after the initial release, the game had already sold over eight million copies, ensuring a future for the standout title.
The Ashlands are a separate island biome that can only be reached by crossing boiling seas. However, normal ships cannot cross these seas, so players must build a new ship called the Drakkar, which can only be built after conquering the Mistlands. Since traveling back and forth can be tedious, Valheim is also introducing the Stone Portal. The key difference between this and the old portal is that the new version allows metals to be transported, perfect for building a fast travel hub.
Valheim will also be adding difficulty modifiers, so players can choose to have an easier/harder experience. New Ashlands Gear To Empower Vikings Putting Magic In The Hands Of Players To balance out the new heightened difficulty from the Ashlands, a myriad of powerful new gear will be available. The new ore Flametal will be the driving ingredient for these upgrades. However, this ore is extremely difficult to acquire, only spawning in the middle of lava pools. The effort is worth the result as the new Flametal armor gives the most defense in the game as well as heat resistance.
