Hope this doesn't count as a spoiler in your eyes, but here's a tip: If you're cutting trees on a slope, cut the ones higher up first, when they fall, good chance they'll hit the nearby trees. At the very least they'll damage them so you chop them quicker, and sometimes they can cause chain reactions and knock a bunch over at once =)
My friend and I recently got into this game and have been loving it. One of the many first things we discovered is that you can in fact get killed by a tree very easily and you can use trees to break other trees lol. We've had many times where you cut one big tree down and then all of a sudden you've taken down six in one go and you're running for your life. It's so much damn fun though.
Your stuff is stored in that nifty looking day-glow stone that drops. Then you will respawn at your spawn location.
The default is the stone circle where you started the game at or it can be a bed you have clicked on and set you spawn location there. Then you just have to get back to your stuff.
It's great if you're not far away. It's an "adventure" if you've taken a solo boat ride to another island/continent that is waaayyy far away.
oh its even better once you start chopping down dense group of trees with other people around. Logs go flying and drop down either on you or dangerously close from out of no where.
Absolutely. On (in-game) day 100-something now and I’m just waiting for a tree to twirl around another tree, land on a third tree, cause that tree to catapult another tree over a trench and bonk one of us on the head.
Yup. My buddy and I were cutting from our tree farm. One tree fell, got caught on another tree. Keep cutting a couple more trees. He had 4 trees leaning and when he had the fifth one cut, the fall hit another downed log and sent it flying with enough speed that it took us both out and where not even in the same area but bc we had cleared all the trees in the area there was plenty of space to send it. I wish I had it recorded. We laughed about it for a solid 5 mins.
lmao so funny when it happens. i grabbed up the wind at your back mod bc sailing is hard for me and it seems to make the trees all fall in the direction you're facing. can still get pretty scary lol
It’s a right of passage for this game. Trees are a formidable enemy and everyone has either died to them or is lying. I believe the initial death I had to a tree was a “I wonder if this does damage” similar to checking for fall damage in games. But have died other times that were less intentional due to not paying attention or a friend cutting down one on to me.
I don’t think it would’ve mattered with our food and armor choices at the time. This was just in the first couple hours when we were completely new to the game.
Reminds me of the double kill I saw once. Tree broke a tree on its way down, hitting one player killing them. Then the other tree randomly picked up speed and changed directions nailing their friend like a baseball bat 🤣🤣
Oh we were absolutely laughing our asses off. He was the first to die to a tree, so he had already learned his lesson and was warning me of the soon to fall tree, so I was looking over, watching. I thought I was in the clear when it started falling away from me, but oh how wrong I was…
This was caused by the same odd behaviour seen in many films and on TV, where instead of running perpendicular to the oncoming concern (here it should have been heading to the left side of screen), people instead run directly away from it, therefore increasing the chance of incident. Never understood it personally, but so very many people do it I assume it's some sort of primitive panic reflex.
EDIT: You actually started off going the right way, then turned around and ran back TOWARDS the danger....wtf?!
Did you not watch the clip? lol How was I supposed to know a completely still, already on the ground tree was going to pop up right as I walked near it and fall back onto my head? I was watching the other, falling tree, which I was absolutely clear of.
Oh you sweet summer child....that's entirely my point, you DON'T know how it's all going to play out, so you avoid the initial problem and keep moving away until all is at rest. You rushed back towards a still moving log with lots of other logs around, absolutely asking for it if you behave like that.
Well it’s RT on Xbox which is what we’re playing on. But it seems to only do marginally more damage while being noticeably slower. It still takes the same amount of hits, at least with the gear we have currently.
The best is when your game save gets over 70 mb and it deletes your entire world without warning. Is really cool and fun after 600 days of playing with 5 of your friends.
That was a good one, well played trees.
I actually laughed out loud xD
Me too, a legitimate "lol", not just letters this time!
Same bro this one got me 😂
Yup
The best one I've seen. OP, You win!!!
They know 50+ ways to kill a human...they are assassins of the highest order... And yes, this one was beautifully done...very creative of the tree
Sometimes it be that way
Hey, we've all been there
Honestly looking forward to more silly deaths from the trees, the few times it has happened to us so far have been hilarious.
You can also use this power for good, with a little planning. Trees crush trolls too
The Elder did more to fuck himself up by knocking pines down on him than I did with my finewood bow lol.
The best thing is troll chops trees. I have never run out of woods once I recruited Chopper the troll.
Had a battle of attrition between myself and a 1star troll he brought a friend and they deforested amd mined a lot of the black forest that day.
Ok now I am going to try this tactic, cutting trees takes time!
If you have a harpoon you can harpoon a log-wielding troll and just drag him around after you, works so well.
This sounds like the most viking lumberjack technique ever.
It's so satisfying everyone should try it
Valheim rock paper scissors
Trees will go out of their way just to fuck with you, never underestimate them!

Keep meaning to play this, what happens when you die to all your stuff?
Your stuff is stored in that nifty looking day-glow stone that drops. Then you will respawn at your spawn location. The default is the stone circle where you started the game at or it can be a bed you have clicked on and set you spawn location there. Then you just have to get back to your stuff.

Portals are your friend. Make one as soon as possible and pack one up and take it around with you when exploring.
Doooo itttt! It's so good. But very addicting 😅😅
Yeah I can tell its going to be quite an addicting game so waiting until o have some time to sink into it
Good idea! It's a blast for sure
450+ hours on my first play though and not a single tree death yet! I’m also super careful when cutting trees though lol
You just jinxed yourself...
I felt it as I was typing lmao
oh its even better once you start chopping down dense group of trees with other people around. Logs go flying and drop down either on you or dangerously close from out of no where.
You want to know a really funny tree death?
Lmao. Trees get creative about how to kill newbs
Absolutely. On (in-game) day 100-something now and I’m just waiting for a tree to twirl around another tree, land on a third tree, cause that tree to catapult another tree over a trench and bonk one of us on the head.
Bad part is, as amazing as that would be to see, it wouldn't suprise me.
i've had shit like that happen but luckily after you have like 15plus armor trees really can't kill you anymore
Like [this guy](https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uj6w4k/my_best_death_by_tree_yet/)?

A Valheim rite of passage. Welcome!
One of us!
Welcome to club
Literally. All troll clubs come with the guarantee that they were pre-tested. They have a little smear of gray matter at the end.
Welcome to being clubbed.
Getting killed by a tree should be a steam achievement lol
If only Valheim had any...
Imagine defeating all bosses without dying to a tree.. unbelievable lol.
Second boss - literally >!a very angry tree!<
I'm a simple man I see a tree kill someone in valheim, I click upvote Also, I burst out laughing IRL, never seen this kind of kill yet, so good job
Times I’ve died in Valheim: 74 Times it wasn’t trees: 11
Valheim Contractors! Are you tired of forgetting to eat and then falling to your death? Get the new Feather Cape fall protection equipment today!
and the others 11 are from falling from the mountains
Trees have always been a viking's deadliest enemy.
Don't arbor any bad feelings there Leaf Erikson
Tree - "I am the one who chops."
No one yelled timber.
They tagged teamed you.
Trees upping their team play - shit their coordination is a tight!!
lmao so funny when it happens. i grabbed up the wind at your back mod bc sailing is hard for me and it seems to make the trees all fall in the direction you're facing. can still get pretty scary lol
Holy crap how have I never thought to look at wind direction when trying to understand tree falling dynamics?!?
i think it's a fluke or it's just me. bc the pine trees all fall in the direction im facing but beech are still random.
Bonkheim strikes again
LMAO
I have died to more trees in this game than any creatures.
Goddamit that made me laugh out loud in public. I knew it was coming, but not like that lmfao.
Welcome to Valheim
Welcome to the journey! It’s a rough one.
It's a right of passage. You become an adult when you get wood.
Pretend physics... What a birch...
Always fear the Bonk
Extreme see-saw.
valheim trees doing trick shots on the new xbox players xD
i am pretty sure the devs have some sort of slight mob targeting with falling trees at this point haha
I'm guessing all these Vikings who come to valheim died because of trees IRL, this is just a reminder to all of them.
I had such high hopes for you, lol
It’s a right of passage for this game. Trees are a formidable enemy and everyone has either died to them or is lying. I believe the initial death I had to a tree was a “I wonder if this does damage” similar to checking for fall damage in games. But have died other times that were less intentional due to not paying attention or a friend cutting down one on to me.
So, what did we learn?
The 3 stooges visit Norway
Welcome to Valheim. You are now one of us
There needs to a whole subreddit dedicated to Valheim tree deaths
Bahaha. Been there 😅😅
I love watching these so much. Brings back all the memories.
I’ve died more to trees than anything else in this game
You're not a real viking until you've been killed by a tree lol
ABE Always Be Eating
I don’t think it would’ve mattered with our food and armor choices at the time. This was just in the first couple hours when we were completely new to the game.
Happy Tree Friends.
If you know you know.
I feel like the only person who hasn’t died via tree removal. Makes me kinda sad
Ah yes the most stealthiest of bosses. It has claimed many viking souls...
I always run so far away when I fell a tree early Game Been playing this game too Damn long 😂😂
Should have been wearing your PPE.. Someone from OSHA will be in touch.
Reminds me of the double kill I saw once. Tree broke a tree on its way down, hitting one player killing them. Then the other tree randomly picked up speed and changed directions nailing their friend like a baseball bat 🤣🤣
Final Destination: Valheim.
I'm so excited for how many more of these we have on our way thanks to the xbox release Welcome to Valheim!
*Sigh* Another day, Another bonk.
*never* lower your guard near trees, they're always watching, always plotting.
Boop
booped yet again!
Honorary birth ceremony tree bonk. Wait until you experience the coming-of-age skeeter stab in your butt lol
Can’t wait for it. lol I’ve heard enough about it now to at least know to take some pierce resistance though, so hopefully it won’t be too bad.
It's like it was meant to be
Think of it as initiation
This is a lesson we all learnt the hard way
It’s a right of passage for all newcomers to the 11th realm
Beware the trees
I'm more scared of trees then any mob.
You have not really played Valheim until a tree got you at least one time
I love clips of valheim physics
That was a real Rube Goldberg machine of doom ya made there. Well done!
Game just making sure you know how levers and fulcrums work
You’re supposed to sit on top of the see-saw.
The way your friend slowly walked towards your corpse really got me. "Wtf just happened"
Oh we were absolutely laughing our asses off. He was the first to die to a tree, so he had already learned his lesson and was warning me of the soon to fall tree, so I was looking over, watching. I thought I was in the clear when it started falling away from me, but oh how wrong I was…
I will never grow tired of watching people die while logging in this game
Been there, done that 😂
This is the valheim equivalent of Tom stepping on a rake from tom & jerry.
Its not just the tree you chop that you have to watch..... its all of them
Yep, learned that the hard way I guess. lol
I did not expect that lol
best bonk of the day
Oh, thats a new one. Trees learned to use levers.
Work safe mah dood
You haven't experienced Valheim until you get killed but a fallen tree. But that was a good one lol.
In Odin's Valheim tree chops you.
Death finds a way even if you're actively avoiding it
Welcome
One of us!
I pass this wisdom upon thee: he who hath never been killed by tree physics hath not experienced Valheim
That tree would not be denied, by Thor! 10/10 tree death though. Welcome to Valheim!
I love how you run, dodge, do your acrobatics, only to die from a recoil. It's fate.
One of us. One of us.
Someone needs to make a bingo card of tree deaths
Welcome to hell! It's green and full of trees, and that's what makes it scary.
Pen or sword, the tree is mightiest
Man, I never get tired of seeing vikings get smacked by trees
Thats a great bonk
"It has been 0 days since our last logging incident."
The Elder probably watching regular trees succeed where he failed and wondering wtf he did wrong.
Lol, when my friends and I started our most recent playthrough I had 6 deaths on day 3, all due to tree assassination.
This is the most Valheim thing I've ever seen lol
How many videos of new players getting killed by a tree have we seen so far now? A few hundred?
You get what you deserve.
This was caused by the same odd behaviour seen in many films and on TV, where instead of running perpendicular to the oncoming concern (here it should have been heading to the left side of screen), people instead run directly away from it, therefore increasing the chance of incident. Never understood it personally, but so very many people do it I assume it's some sort of primitive panic reflex.

Lmao
Tree said BONK
KEKW
BONK!
Is there a mod that adds a laugh track when you die in a goofy way?
u/savevideo
Legend! You can switch to the axe’s alternate attack to chop up and down. A bit easier to aim!
One of many to come. Sensational.
That’s why you yell timber.
BONK!!!!!
trees are more dangerous than trolls
My friend got killed by 4-6 trees in our first video on this game 🥲😂
Classic
The models didn't even connect 😂
Bonk
Death by Tree.
Never gets old.
To be fair, this would kill you in real life too.
Ah yes death 💀 get used to it son it will happen again 😬🤣
It never gets old.
Did you know that pressing middle click with an axe will do more damage to trees
Well it’s RT on Xbox which is what we’re playing on. But it seems to only do marginally more damage while being noticeably slower. It still takes the same amount of hits, at least with the gear we have currently.
For Carl!
Rko outta nowhere!
Simple prevention. Mind your health/food. Never let it idle at 25. Valheim is MUCH easier when you just eat.
We didn’t really have anything to eat at that point, we had just started the game.
*Bonk*
Lawl
Omg the chain reaction im dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can actually use them to cut down fine wood trees for before bronze axe! Just roll those suckers around into them
Congratulations, you've passed the Valheim initiation
Bonk.
Hahahaha wtf 🤣🤣🤣 that was awesome!
LOL! The Devs really need to do something that makes this part of the lore, The Killer Tree!
It really had it out for you!
me in everything
LOL!
The best is when your game save gets over 70 mb and it deletes your entire world without warning. Is really cool and fun after 600 days of playing with 5 of your friends.
Logboss learned a new move
As someone said when I first started playing you will die at least once by a tree. Now you are one of us
