The Valheim player's riverside base showcases the creative use of tar from the Plains biome for beautiful architectural designs.
Progression in Valheim involves defeating world bosses while protecting bases from destructive mobs, enhancing gameplay challenges.
The addition of new biomes like Mistlands introduces exciting enemies, materials, and food items for players to explore and utilize in base building.

A Valheim player has created an impressive riverside base upon discovering tar in the Plains. There are six fully realized biomes in Valheim, each containing its own helpful materials, but Tar may be among the most useful for base building.

Valheim challenges players to progress through the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age by defeating world bosses. Beyond slaying these enemies, any bases made along the way may also be raided by mobs who can destroy buildings if left uncontained. As Iron Gate Studio continues to improve the game through early access, new biomes are introduced with fresh enemies and resources. Valheim's Mistlands biome was added in 2022, and it includes many new enemies, crafting materials, and food items. As players anticipate the release of Ashlands, one gamer has made a unique base along a river with the aid of materials found in the Plains.

Valheim Player Builds Incredible Meadows Cathedral

A Valheim player creates an incredible Cathedral in the Meadows biome that was meticulously crafted using Black Marble, Iron, and Wood.

Reddit user CosmicScribe26 recently shared thirteen images of a base that their fiancee made. The first image highlights the structure from a nearby river, with many purple and blue flags visible from the entrance. The photos capture every angle of the building, with the inside containing a Cooking Station over a campfire, a Cartography Table, Deer Rugs, Standing Iron Torches, and countless flags. The Reddit user stated that their fiancee had discovered Tar, likely resulting in the prevalence of Darkwood. Tar can be dropped by Growths or in tar pits in the Plains biome. There's also a lot of Stone used in this building, which may suggest the players had made use of the Valheim Plains Stone pillars.

What Other Decorations Are Used in This Base?

This riverside Valheim base is impressively symmetrical, as it implements arches in multiple areas, and two Raven Adornments face each other in the center of an open window. Connected to the Raven Adornments around the base are Hanging Braziers that illuminate the blue and purple flags that hang from every section of the structure. The base has a port that's easily accessed and an overhanging area on the opposite side where players can park their boats. There's a dining table with two chairs facing each other that has a chest full of treasure and piles of Valheim coins on top which hints at how much collecting the two players had done.

Given that this gamer used Tar to make intricate designs using Darkwood, discovering a new material in later biomes may inspire fresh creations. As Iron Gate Studio continues to update Valheim, even more resources could be added in the future that inspire their own incredible buildings.
