Valheim’s latest update will apparently make bosses even more challenging. Iron Gate released the patch notes for version 0.146.8 earlier today. On top of a bunch of small bug fixes, the update also comes with some pretty major changes.
Some balancing fixes have been made to Valheim’s bosses to make them more challenging because, according to the developers - and I quote - “u guys are killing them too fast.”
If you’re wondering which bosses in particular will be getting difficulty tweaks, you’ll be glad to know it’s only a small few. These include Bonesmass, Moder, and Yagluth. Iron Gate hasn’t specified how much harder these bosses will be, but if you’re familiar with any of them you’ll know that they can be a pain for any first-timer.
Dragon boss Moder is known to be an aggressive enemy and deals heavy damage with a number of her wyvern abilities, so you’ll have to come prepared now that the update gives her a difficulty boost. The same goes for Yagluth, who already dealt a devastating amount of damage to players.
Other major changes that come with the patch include an update socket backend which should improve connection issues for a lot of players. World corruption caused by logging at the same time as pressing ALT+F4 has also been fixed.
On top of that, the update fixes a variety of crafting bugs, as well as making various audio tweaks. You can check out a full list of the latest patch notes on Steam.
Valheim has just surpassed four million units sold on Steam Early Access after having been on sale for less than three weeks. In its first week, the game sold one million copies, then hit another million just six days later.
Along with four million units sold, Valheim also surpassed over 500,000 concurrent players, making it one of the most played games on Steam, knocking titans such as GTA 5 and Dota 2 aside.
It’s pretty incredible to see how well the game is doing in Early Access, and we can expect even more from Iron Gate in the near future given that it has already laid out the official Valheim roadmap.
