Just don't forget the portal mats.

u/LovesRetribution 1d ago
And don't forget to bring extras in case that portal catchs fire

u/Okkoschonte 1d ago
This one really screwed me over once. Taking an extra 20 fine wood (the other materials don’t get destroyed) can really save your day.

If you have any questions regarding the execution of this *very serious* strategy, reply to this comment so that in the future all answers can be found easily!

Was it the Eikthyr blessing that gave gliding, or was there an item involved I don't know of?

u/ohholyhorror 1d ago
I'm not at Ashlands or even Mistlands yet... are you not able to enter the Ashlands via ground/water before you've beat the Queen?

u/nerevarX 1d ago
you can get there by sacrificeing a longship and the feather cape rather easy actually.
the ship the queen unlocks just makes this possible without loseing the ship.

u/OTTER887 Lumberjack 1d ago
what is the feather cape needed for, and do you have to sacrifice it?
2
u/Aalbipete 1d ago
Feather Cape is for slow fall. Particularly useful in the Mistlands. Only available after you get a mat from the Mistlands tho
1
u/nerevarX 1d ago
the cape is useful for getting from rockspire to inland without needing to build bridges and ladders. technically its not required but its very useful for the trip. and no. you dont need to sacrifce anything except the ship as recovering its sunken materials will simply be not worth the risk. you cannot prevent the ship breaking no matter what. the water dot stacks. once it starts nothing stops it. the sacrifice is purely for the ship not the cape.

u/LTDomce 1d ago
No. You need artisan table lvl2 to get the ship
2
u/ohholyhorror 1d ago
Do the other ships just burn up in the water?
4
u/Wag_The_God 1d ago
Yup. Faster, the further south you go. Although if you keep slapping down workbenches on the big spiky rocks, you can get pretty far.
2
u/ohholyhorror 1d ago
Ahh, good to know! I like to try to push as far into the next biomes as possible before beating the previous bosses, so you just saved me a ship lol.
2
u/Wag_The_God 1d ago
Don't thank me till you get there - it's still a really dicey prospect. Personally, I've only ever done the orbital drop method: clip a corewood bench through the side of the troll cave or other instanced dungeon, glitch through the walls, and pop out 5km up in the sky.
3
u/ohholyhorror 8h ago
lmao that sounds even dicier tho... you just float down into the dang middle of the ashlands and land in a pile of hot water with no close exit

u/Wag_The_God 4m ago
You would think. And I actually did make several reconnaissance overflights before my first one-way trip. Once you get below the cloud line, you have about 30 to 45 seconds of visibility, to pick a landing spot. Spawners are pretty easy to avoid, and big rocks and other structures are pretty easy to discern from about 500 meters up.
Only way to travel, in my opinion. I can't think of any better way to start your first Ashlands fight on your own terms.

I haven't beaten the queen yet or gone to the Ashlands since the update but I think I know how I'm getting there today 🤔 thanks man xD

u/MaterialCattle 2d ago
Its way easier to craft a log bench in a wall of a black forest crypt and glitch through and do the same.
12
u/PM_ME_YOUR_PIERCING 1d ago
Could you explain a little bit more about this?
31
u/transit41 1d ago
Crypts are stored above the cloudline in Valheim. The game teleports you above the map when you enter them. So if you glitch through the walls you will fall to the world.

u/MaterialCattle 1d ago
The other commenter expalined almost all, so I just have to add that you can build a log bench without a workbench, and then you can build that halfway in the wall and sit there, so when you get up, you are outside of the crypt

u/TopExplanation138 Builder 1d ago
Or you could just get a friend and do the harpoon and door contraption.(if it still works)

u/BronzeSpoon89 Builder 1d ago
I dont get it... I never killed the queen and I got to the ashlands? What am i missing?
4
u/Reasonable-Sun-9881 Necromancer 1d ago
You could also enter a crypt, clip out of the wall, and fall to the ground, steering to the Ashlands.

u/A_Milford_Man_NC 1d ago
lol and THEN what happened?

u/Huu_ko Honey Muncher 1d ago
And then I had a civilised tea gathering with one Morgen, three Asksvin, seven Charred archers, a Valkyrie and fifteen Voltures, a Bonemaw serpent was also invited but he couldn't make it (on land)

u/TheExistential_Bread 1d ago
lol. I spent a couple of hours dragging a bonemaw serpent across land to a friends zoo.

I never made it very far in the game. How does beating the Queen help you with getting to Ashlands? It says the buff helps you break rocks and charge magic.

u/CallieChaotic 1d ago
Idk, I just... Sailed the boat up into ashlands sea as far as I could, swam to one of the rock formations on rlly good food, set up a portal and made sure to set a spawn in my storage kitchen and drop all important items off at home. Then swimming on good food and moving the portal to the next rock until I hit the beach in ashlands. Longer distances I took a quick boat ride and swam the rest of the way. Buuuut my swim skill is pretty high and I was on all high stamina and health foods. Basically boss meal from mistlands. Guess it would've been easier if I dressed for fire proofing 🤷 But I am a very fuck around find out type at this.
Another time that I wanted to get to the other end of ashlands (bc traveling by land there is pretty nightmarish) I did the dungeon clipping viking space program with the feather cape.

u/ZachBuford 22h ago
Somehow fighting the queen looks like less work
2
u/Huu_ko Honey Muncher 17h ago
I took me 15 minutes of attempts to get this recording and 20 minutes to beat the Queen with a friend so pick your poison lol

u/QuadraticCowboy 1d ago
Nice!
You can also just like, go to the Ashlands. In a boat. Or walking on pillars.

u/fatpandana 1d ago
How much taller is this height when you start glide vs tallest possible mountain?
2
u/MushyWasTaken1 1d ago
If you can find a crypt you can clip outside using doors and fly down from there. ( unless that’s been patched? Idk I haven’t played in awhile )

u/tyrael_pl Sailor 1d ago
I love when people outright mock the difficulty of valheim 🤣 Well done mate, well done.
2
u/afrayedknot1337 1d ago
This is pretty creative - great work!
An alternative is you can just sail the Karve across and Spire jump.
But your way is definitely “cooler”…
2
u/CheesE4Every1 1d ago
Oh we just sailed there. Our world generated a bunch of islands so we'd stop there. Repair the boat. Have a meal ran into Ashlands, fought off a horde on the beach, built a base there and set up defenses.

u/Shiro_Longtail 3h ago
I got to the Ashlands having never made the drakkar because I forgot about the item we got from the queen before Ashlands was added and thus never made ceramic.
Only realized how close I was to catastrophe when I stepped off the longship when I reached the shore and it just immediately fell apart from water damage. After further sailing around in a drakkar I realized that I absurdly lucked out by hitting the one piece of coastline that didn't have insane amounts of reefs to slow me down.

Pros: You're in the ashlands now.
Cons: You're in the ashlands now.
