📋 About This Mod
Utgard is a savegame with an adventure on the starting island. Except the starting island the worldmap is not explored which allows you to continue playing the game until the last boss-battle.
The adventure is an easy exploration of several special areas of interst, small villages, cozy huts, hidden paths, enchanted towers and mighty castles. The task is to follow the path over the island reaching Odenburg, the castle at the passage to further exploration and a potential origin of your next adventure.

For sure, you can outsmart this adventure...
...this savegame is for those, who would like to have some inspiration, are curious exploring a pre-build island, would like to start fresh skipping the first quarter of the game, are skilled in fighting and shooting but not in building or would like to have a small immersive re-launch into Valheim (before or even after the next content upgrade).
While building, I did not reveal the map (except the starting island), which makes it possible to use the savegame for any future content patch as long as the game logic remains like it is right now.
Updates:
1. 1 (still no further reveal of the map)
Added the Debter's Tower close to Elder's Vegvisir
Added the Bollwerk, a Stronghold protecting the island from the Trolls of the Dark Forest
Some very tiny updates of the paths
1. 2
Enhanced the walls of the Bollwerk
Mods used:
Plant Everything
Gizmo Reloaded
