About Valheim Guides
Independent, player-tested Valheim resources. Built by players — not scraped from wikis.
Who We Are
Valheim Guides is built and maintained by Alex (阿玖), a Valheim player with hundreds of hours across solo and multiplayer runs. Every biome cleared, every boss defeated, every building technique stress-tested in survival mode — not creative. We publish what we've personally verified.
The site was founded in 2026 to fill a gap: between sprawling community wikis and shallow SEO pages, there was no single resource that gave players actionable, tested, data-backed answers. That's what we make.
How We Create Content
- Play first, write second. Every guide starts with a fresh playthrough or targeted testing session. Boss HP values are verified on unmodded dedicated servers. Weapon damage numbers are tested against standard targets. Food stats are checked against the current patch.
- Cross-reference multiple sources. We compare our findings against the official Valheim Wiki, Iron Gate Studio patch notes, and community testing on r/valheim. When sources disagree, we re-test and publish what the game actually does.
- Update on patch day. When Valheim updates, we re-test affected guides within 48 hours and update dates, stats, and strategies. You'll see the update date on every page.
Editorial Standards
- No AI-generated content. Every word on this site is written by a human who has played the game. We don't use LLMs to generate guide text, strategy advice, or stat tables.
- No copied wiki data. Numbers are verified in-game. Strategy advice is based on actual gameplay experience, not paraphrased from other sites.
- Transparency. Every guide page includes a sources box listing where our data comes from. If we're uncertain about a number, we say so.
- Affiliate disclaimer. We do not currently use affiliate links. If this changes, it will be clearly disclosed on affected pages.
