Biome route

Meadows progression guide

Your first safe base, food, workbench, leather, and Eikthyr prep stage.

What to do next

Build a small rested base, craft a bow, learn food timing, and beat Eikthyr before pushing into the Black Forest.

Before entering

  • Rested buff active.
  • Crude bow with enough arrows.
  • At least three food options.
  • A small chest with backup tools.

First objectives

  • Place a workbench, bed, fire, and covered shelter.
  • Craft a crude bow and gather deer trophies.
  • Cook meat and keep three foods active before boss attempts.
  • Mark copper-looking Black Forest edges but do not mine yet.
  • Summon Eikthyr when you have leather armor, a bow, and spare food.

Checklist

  • Set spawn point at a bed.
  • Craft a bow.
  • Cook three food types.
  • Gather two deer trophies.
  • Defeat Eikthyr.

Recommended gear

  • Crude bow
  • Flint axe
  • Leather armor

Food and meads

  • Cooked boar meat
  • Cooked deer meat

Common mistakes

  • Fighting Eikthyr with no rested buff.
  • Ignoring food because early enemies feel easy.
  • Building the first base too far from trees, water, and Black Forest access.
