The Viking universe is full of surprises, and only by preparing in advance for all the complexities of fate can you try to deceive it. However, the right weapons and powerful armor will not be enough for you. You need to know in advance what tricks Valheim is preparing for you, and we will help with this.
In the world valheim in the course of the gameplay, various events (events) occur. Most often these will be “mini-raids” of mobsarising at the player's place of residence. Some of them have a plot basis, and some arise by chance. You can find out about the event by watching the top of the screen. There appears information about the approach of a group of opponents. Also appears on the map red circle, which indicates the location of the event. It is worth ing that the events in the game take place regardless of the level of protection at the base of the character. That's why you need to be ready to repel any attack on your own.
How random events are generated
All events are triggered randomly. They can happen when the player fulfills certain conditions: for example, a character destroys a number of enemies or completes a storyline. The mini-raid itself lasts 2 or 3 minutes. During this time, a certain type of monsters will arrive at the player's base. They will be extremely aggressive.
Mini Raids are only possible when the character is near his own camp. A warning will appear on the screen. After that, enemies associated with the event appear. They will immediately head towards the player's base.
If the Viking leaves his own camp during the event, then it will not disappear anywhere. The event will continue when the player returns to the base. Therefore, do not forget about defensive structures - they can make life much easier in case of an unexpected attack.
It is worth ing that two events cannot occur simultaneously in the game.
Story Events
The very first of them is “Eiktur gathers the creatures of the forest”. It happens before killing the first boss. The event can happen at any time during the game.
- Opponents: boars and nixes;

"The forest is moving" is the second story event in the game. Happens at any time between killing Eiktur (the first boss) and the Elder, which is located in the Black Forest.

For better protection it is recommended to build spiked defensive structures. This will allow you to get stones, wood and Gradwarf eyes. Also from Shamans fall ancient seeds, which are needed to summon the Ancient One. All these resources will certainly be useful to the player in the future.

The next event is unique in its own way. “Cold wind blows from the mountains” is the fourth story event in the game. Occurs before destruction Moder.
Especially the fact that, in addition to beings, it still appears ice debuff. It turns out that the player is fighting at his base, but at the same time, as if in the Mountains. It is recommended to wear one of the pieces Frost-resistant mead. Any source of fire that is nearby can help.

Events that occur due to many destroyed enemies
In total there are 4 types of such events. They happen when the player kills a certain boss or monster. These events also occur randomly.
"Skeleton Surprise" - the first event that can take the player by surprise. Happens anytime after a kill Masses of Bones.
