Valheim Update 0.212.7 O: Mistlands, Queen, Blood Magic and more
Even in Early Access, Valheim stormed the scene with players and critics alike raving about the survival mechanics and experience the Norse myth-inspired world provided. The game is known for its brutal difficulty as players created their own homesteads, castles, and weapons to fight monsters in order to survive. With the latest update they have a new biome to do the same.
After a public test in which players participated and shared feedback, patch 0.212.7 introduces the Mistlands biome, adding to several biomes already available in the world of Walheim. Players should keep in mind that a new region will only be generated in areas of the map that have not yet 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 (for fog protection) and Magic (players can now evolve Elemental Magic and Blood Magic). Mistlands will also feature mushroom farming and chickens, as well as friendly and unfriendly NPCs.
Mistlands will showcase a new boss in Walheim, the Queen. There are also new enemy creatures, crafting materials, food items, potions, craft items, building pieces, and fish. Without further ado, here is the detailed patch 0.212.7 official notes for Valheim.
