Even in early access, Valheim stormed the scene with players and critics alike raving about the survival mechanics and the experience the world inspired by Norse Mythos provided. The title is noted for its brutal difficulty as players crafted their own homesteads, castles, and weapons to take on monsters in order to survive. With the latest update, they have a new biome to do the same in.
After a Public Test where players participated and shared feedback, patch 0.212.7 introduces the Mistlands biome, adding to the multiple biomes already available in the world of Valheim. Players do need to keep in mind that the new region will only generate in areas of the map that have not already been discovered by them.
The developers suggest starting a new map if players have uncovered most areas of their current session. The new update adds new mechanics such as Wisplight (to ward off mist) and Magic (players can now develop Elemental Magic and Blood Magic). Mistlands will also feature mushroom farming and chickens along with friendly and unfriendly NPCs.
Mistlands will showcase a new boss in Valheim, The Queen. There are also new enemy creatures, crafting materials, food items, potions, craftable items, building pieces, and fishes. Without further ado, here's the detailed patch 0.212.7 official notes for Valheim.
