Yes, it’s tempting to show off your newly crafted Drakkar or your victory over Moder to your fellow Vikings, but don’t let your pursuit of glory come at the expense of your survival—or your friends’. In Valheim, cooperation is often the difference between a thriving settlement and a cold, lonely death in the wilderness.

So, the next time you’re tempted to spend hours perfecting your longhouse for the approval of your “seven followers,” take a moment to check on your companions. Share a cauldron of boar stew, craft some extra arrows, or team up to take down a troll.

After all, in the brutal yet beautiful world of Valheim, true fame isn’t found in runestone boasts—it’s earned through the bonds you forge and the battles you survive together.

As for our two Vikings, let’s hope the bearded warrior eventually puts down his metaphorical raven-scroll and picks up a bow to hunt some dinner. His seven followers might need him, but his hungry companion needs him more. *Wink wink* 😜
