My friend hosted a valheim server on idk hard or very hard. The parry mechanic didn't work since it would let a percentage of damage through. So even with the current highest obtainable shield enemies we were not able to use parries (or blocking lol) at all and had to dodge everything. At boss 4 or so I BEGGED him to lower the difficulty, since the lingering damage would almost one-shot us and we just kept respawning over and over for an hour.

I was just about to comment exactly this. Complete with finally changing the difficulty back to normal while fighting Moder.

We also found that Moder's health was so high that the fight was not doable in a day, leaving us fighting packs of wolves (which could two shot us while blocking) during the night as well.

Moder was so painful. Queen and Yagluth were so much easier in comparison.

Working our way through the Ashlands now and well, what a frustrating area as well. Had to campfire like crazy a kilometer out just to be able to breathe for two seconds without being swarmed. We ended up going kamikaze to siege a fortress for a base and suddenly I can actually play for more than 5 seconds without being attacked.

A lot of Valheim bosses are only difficult because of the massive amounts of health. Without the crazy high amounts of health, none of them seem to have difficult mechanics.

Funny. The custom mob difficulty mod that let's you make 4* mobs adds strong sponges but also gives you more drops so it's a nice trade off.

I enjoyed the challenge personally.
