Valheim is a game about Vikings, and amongst other things, Vikings are known as legendary sailors who were both exploring and conquering half of the world with their mighty longships.<\/p>\n
Naturally, sailing is an important part of Valheim as well, and you will be able to sail the high seas.<\/p>\n
But, you won’t immediately start with a Viking longship. Your first mean of transport across lakes and oceans will be the Valheim Raft.<\/p>\n The Valheim Raft will be crucial for your progress in the early stages of the game, especially since the world is procedurally generated, and you might end up in a situation where you will need to cross some big body of water to get to the first boss or to visit the next biome.<\/p>\n Building a raft is one of the first few things you will do during the first few hours into the game, and it should be a relatively easy task to do.<\/p>\n We recommend that you build a raft as soon as possible because you will definitely need it.<\/p>\n In order to build a raft in Valheim, you will first need to discover some water surface, but each Valheim world usually has a lot of water in it, so that should not be too hard to find.<\/p>\n To build a raft, you will need the following materials:<\/p>\n You will also need to craft a hammer, which is one of the basic tools.<\/p>\n Once you have all this ready, do as follows:<\/p>\n And that’s it! Now you have your raft, which should appear in the water near where you stand.<\/p>\n But now we are jumping on a more difficult part, and that is how to actually use it.<\/p>\n To control the Valheim Raft, you will use your basic WASD controls.<\/p>\n Use W to move the Raft forward, and use S to go backward. And to turn the rudder left or right, you will use A and D.<\/p>\n Near your Raft, you will see a small sign representing rudder, which uses arrows to represent if you are going slow, medium or fast forward, as well as the direction if you are turning left or right, or going backwards.<\/p>\nThere will be a lot of lakes and oceans in your world (Picture: Iron Gate)<\/span><\/p>\n
