In February, the survival MMO Valheim turned one year old and just in time for its birthday, patch 0.207.20 has been released.
With this "Mountain Update", the mountain regions of the game have been completely overhauled and bring you the Frost Caves. New enemies and new resources await you in the icy depths of the dungeons. The download size of the update is around 50 MB.
Cultists, bats and crystals
What would a patch be without new enemies? In the ice caves, bats, cultists and the wolf-like Ulv are coming for you.
Fur is a good keyword here. Your enemies will drop various items, including Fenring hair and claws and red jute. You can use these to create the new Fenring armor set if you collect all the parts.
What would a Viking home be without nice furnishings? You can use the new materials to make new items for your home. Oh yes, there's also a new weapon: the meat ripper. With the "You stirred the cauldron" there is a new event.
The catch with the Mountain update
You will only get to see the new area with the frost caves if you have not yet explored and uncovered all the snow-covered mountains.
...and there's also a new comfort function
Which will please many of you: With the Mountain Update, Valheim finally has a pause function in single player mode. If you go to the menu, the game now pauses. Incidentally, the new function has become the secret star in the relevant Reddit and Steam forums.
The patch also fixes a few bugs and other problems. There is also full controller support and an update for the Steam deck.
The next big update will be the Land of Fog, which will bring a completely new biome. We are very excited!
