Summary
TheValheimcommunity has no shortage of impressive builds that are the perfect inspiration for future projects. Like many open-world games thatallow players to build bases,Valheimallows players a lot of freedom when it comes to how and where they build their homes. Players have used this freedom toflex their creative muscles and create some beautiful buildings.
Aside from impressive builds, some players have also created functional additions to their bases. These might help farm resources or simply organize existing structures in a visually pleasing way. After defeatingall ofValheim’s bosses, making these types of creative builds is a great way to continue enjoying the game.
Valheim’s Deep North Update: Everything We Know So Far
Valheim will see its final major update sometime in the next two years with the Deep North biome, and this arctic landscape is filled with potential.
10This Valheim Portal Hub Is Great For Organization
This Build Shows Players How To Organize Their Portals
Bases inValheimcan quickly become crowded and disorganized. Players may struggle to keep everything looking nice and neat between chests full of materials, different crafting tools, and necessities like beds and fires. One great resource for making a base more organized is Reddit useramitkilo’s portal hub. This build shows players how to createtheir own dedicated space for portals,which is compact and looks great.
Portals are something that players may find start to pile up as the game goes on. It’s nice to have ways to quickly travel to bosses to collect more materials from them or other important locations like the merchant. Having a portal hub that not only keeps things organized but also labels where each portal goes is a lot easier than just having some loosely strewn about the camp. This build is especially helpful thanks to amitkilo’s step-by-step instructions, which players can use to recreate it in their ownValheimgames.
9Wolves Can Be Used To Farm Important Materials
Trained Wolves Can Be Used To Kill Monsters For Their Loot
Having a cool idea is only part of the equation for making greatValheimbuilds. It’s just as important that players have the required materials for a given build. Luckily, Reddit userWhiteperson1developed an interesting way to continuously farm some important materials usinga combination of trained wolves and a Greydwarf nest.
Graydwarves drop sap, wood, and Greydwarf eyes, all of which are helpful crafting materials. Instead of having to go out and farm these materials by killing them individually, Whiteperson1 created a pit below a spawner for them. They thenfilled the pit with trained wolvesthat would automatically kill theGreydwarves as they spawned, creating what is essentially an infinite supply of Greydwarf materials. One important aspect of this build is ensuring that there is a decent number of trained wolves, so they are never overpowered by stronger Greydwarves. Luckily, the wolves reproduce over time, so it should be self-sustaining.
8The Valheim Eiffel Tower Proves How Flexible Building Can Be
The Structure Is An Impressive Likeness Given Valheim’s Limitations
A lot ofValheimbuilds stick to creating impressive structuresthat are in line with the game’s Viking aesthetic. However, builds like Reddit userhuggedahl’s Eiffel Tower show just how far the game’s building feature can be pushed. The impressive structure rises high over the Plains, making its construction all the more impressive. Somehow, huggedahl was able to create this massive structure while also fighting off powerful Deathsquitoes like the one seen next to the tower.
ThisEiffel Tower build uses a lot of small stone blocks to create the famous monument’s distinct shape. The technique is reminiscent of manyMinecraftbuilds, though it is definitely more difficult to pull off inValheim, as it isn’t as easy to simply stack blocks atop one another. This build likely took a lot of painstaking effort to finish. That hard work and creative use of building materials is a big inspiration for anyValheimplayers who may think there are more limitations on the game’s building tools than there really are.
7This Uniquely Beautiful Bridge Is Perfect for Larger Bases
The Bridge Uses Spiraling Wood Planks To Create A Unique Style
Finding a large, flat plot of land to build a base on is difficult. As builds get bigger, players will often find themselves having to contend with the natural landscape around them. This can lead to them having to build ramps or bridges between different elevations. Reddit user_-GH05T-found a way to turn what could otherwise be an unsightly addition to a base one of its most beautiful features.
_-GH05T-’s bridge usessmoothed wooden planks spiraling around the outside to create a unique design. Inside, glowing golden mushrooms are used to light the way, giving the entire build a high-fantasy feel. Builds like this inspire players to spruce up necessary elements of their base to make every inch both functional and beautiful. This can help make the need to build a bridge between two points stop feeling like a chore and feel more like an opportunity to express one’s creative vision.
Valheim: Every Ore & Where To Find Them
Valheim contains many ores for players to find and mine as they travel through its various biomes, and gathering these makes for better tool crafting.
6A Longship Rollercoaster Is The Perfect Kind Of Impractical
This Build Is A Massive Slide Using A Boat As A Ride Car
Practical builds like the Graydwarf farm or the portal hub can be really helpful, but sometimes, it’s a lot more fun to create something wholly impractical. Reddit userLarge-Syrup9478proved this by making a massive slide for their Drakkar, which is the least efficient but most fun way to get a boat into the water. The build isn’t just impressive because of its height but also due to how functional it is.
Somehow, Large-Syrup9478 was able to make a slide that involved exciting turns without the ship either getting stuck or going over the side. While doing damage to the Drakkar, it doesn’t do so much that either it or the slide breaks. It likely took a lot of fine-tuning to create a slide that works like this.
This type of build is inspiring because it opens up a new genre of builds. More players will likely want to try tomake their own physics-powered rollercoasters usingValheim’s ships or carts. It will be exciting to see if players inspired by this build go on to create even more elaborate rides in the future.
5This Massive Colosseum Is Also Historically Accurate
This Colosseum Build Took Heavy Inspiration From The Design Of The Real Thing
The Colosseum is easily one of the most iconic feats of construction, so it’s no surprise to see it recreated in games likeValheim. However, what is surprising is the level of detail that Reddit userFlyRepresentative977put into their version of it. Basing their build on an actual cross-section of the Colosseum, FlyRepresentative977faithfully recreated the tiered seats as well as the arched hallways beneath them. Their attention to detail is also extended to the Colosseum’s interior.
TheValheimColosseum has over 9000 functional seats inside. There are also wooden features used to add some visual flair to each level of the Colosseum so it doesn’t just look like a big slab of rock. The scale of the structure is impressive and lends a sense of importance to what is happening in the ring. Players looking for the most epic way to conduct PvP fights might want to consider building a stadium like this.
4A Treehouse Village Is The Perfect Way To Preserve Valheim’s Natural Setting
The Structures Are Built On Trees, Giving It A More Natural Feel
Although much of its landscape can be intimidating and downright scary,Valheimalso has plenty of natural beauty. While many players may gravitate toward building their bases in large open areas, finding a way to incorporate nature into a build can make for a much more interesting home. Reddit userC3SSN4showed just how cool this concept could be with theirextensive treehouse village built inside a forest in the Meadows.
This treehouse constructs most of its structures around existing trees, connecting its platforms with thin bridges. It is reminiscent of fantasy treehouse villages like Lothlórien or even the Ewok tree village fromReturn of the Jedi. Using primarily wood for its structures helps preserve a more natural feel from the base. The use of spiraling wood planks to surround certain structures or its campfire is also a nice aesthetic touch that adds to its fantastical feel. This base is perfect for inspiring players to work with the natural world around their base instead of destroying it.
3A Waterfront Base Has Unique Advantages
This Base Includes A Protected Waterway
Usually,Valheimbases benefit from being close to the water. Traveling across the seas is essential for finding all the different biomes and locating the different bosses, so having a base near the water makes it easier to hop on a boat and go sailing. It’s also helpful for making sure random enemies don’t destroy unprotected boats.
Reddit userLeading_Recovery8768showed thata waterfront base can be more than just practical; it can also be stunning to look at. Instead of simply building a base next to the water, Leading_Recovery8768 created some structures on top of the water, making a waterway that goes inside their base. This not only looks incredible but also allows for boats to be brought all the way up to the main structures.
Having this waterway can make it easier to bring materials from a boat into the storage spaces. Leading_Recovery8768 also includes some creative structures, like their wooden gazebo made of curving planks. This helps add a lot of personality to the build, which accentuates its unique location.
2An Early Build Proves How Much Can Be Done With A Few Elements
This Build Makes Creative Use Of Its Limited Materials
Valheimhas added a lot of new crafting options for building houses since the game first came out. TheHearth and Homeupdate was primarily focused on adding new construction pieces for players to improve their bases. However, an impressive build from early inValheim’s history showshow much could be done with even the most basic building materials.
Reddit userBeavisXtremecreated a sprawling island base with a major open-air section, an impressive dock, and a unique interior with clever design elements like its use of crossing planks instead of just standard walls. What makes this build even more impressive is that it was able to be made without all of the building updates added later. That isn’t to say there is anything wrong with using the newer building elements, but this build should inspire players to find creative ways to use all of the materials available to them.
1This Mountainside Castle Has Elements Of Many Great Builds
The Castle Has Water Access And Incorporates The Natural Landscape
There are a lot of elements that make aValheimbuild impressive. Incorporating the natural landscape, having quick access to the water and an impressive dock, and simply being aesthetically pleasing. Reddit userN0rdicBuildermanages to combine these many desirable traits of an impressiveValheimbuild with their large mountainside castle. Though the build isn’t yet finished, it is already one of the most impressive in the game.
This large stone castle is built partially in the Mountain biome, giving it a beautiful snowy backdrop while still being enough in the Meadows that players won’t have to worry about constantly dying to monsters. It has a gorgeous dock with storage buildings that connect to the rest of the castle, which gives players easy access to the sea. The castle is also built in tiers to incorporate the changing elevation of the natural landscape, giving it a unique and interesting shape instead of simply being a big stone square.
