Some questions about mountain biome

[76561197979566298]

I just got to this point and I found a large mountain surrounded by black forest. I found obsidian there but where is the silver? I have the wishbone equipped and theres obsidian everywhere but i dont see any silver.

Also whats the best way to kill stone golem? They hit me pretty hard and seem to take alot of punishment. I have lvl 4 sword and obsidian arrows.

Anything else I need to know when in the mountain biome? I want to craft the draugr bow. How do i do that and craft the wolf cape?

Silver will only spawn in the tallest mountains. It is possible to have low mountain biomes which will have no silver. In that case, you need to move on.

Stone Golems are only weak to pickaxes. You can find a way to get on top of their head and mine them, but staying on top is tricky. Otherwise, you can whittle them down with arrows (slow) or work up the nerve to parry their attacks and hit them while stunned (risky).

You will need to collect at least one of each ingredient and have a sufficiently leveled workbench to unlock those recipes. Make sure you've collected guck from the swamp, if you haven't already. Once you've smelted silver, everything else should already be in place.

Forget about pickaxe thing with the golem , use a iron mace lv 4 and thats all you need to kill that thing

And silver is underground , if you really are using the wishbone your character will be sorrounded by a pip signal , more intense pips , more close to the place where you need to dig

Ah ok then silver is the only impediment. Since this particular mountain is only one mountain in the biome, I dont think theres any silver there. Finding mountain biomes has been hard in my world. Plains are everywhere though lol. I even just found the traveling merchant but havent found a silver bearing mountain biome yet.

Oh crap so then that means there is silver there! Because the sound pips are going off a lot on this mountain. So i need to use my pickaxe and go underground?

Also how am i supposed to get on top of the freakin golem and use the pickaxe? LOL the pickaxe animation is way slower and that thing hits hard! I killed one doing mostly meleeish kiting and finished him off with arrows but it was painful.

Silver is not on the surface, it is buried underground. The wishbone emits beeps when one is close to a buried object. That object may be a silver vein, a buried skeleton, a buried chest. or some other valuable item that is buried. Surface deposits of obsidian do not cause the wishbone to beep.

If the wishbone beeps, one has detected a buried object. The faster the beeps occur, the closer one is to the object. If the rate slows, one is moving away from the object. The idea is to move to where the beeping is the fastest, then dig straight down. One should hit a silver vein six meters down or less. If not, stay in the pit and dig laterally in one direction until the beeping quickens or slows. If it quickens, keep digging laterally in the same direction. If it slows, go back to where you first dug and dig laterally in a different direction,

Once you strike silver, it is wisest to try and dig laterally slong the vein instead of straight into it. Silver veins can be shaped like the three hands of a clock (hour, minute, and second) at 20 seconds to four o'clock.

One will not usually find silver at elevations lower than obsidian. Some Mountain biomes are large in area but not very high. These may not contain very much silver or any at all.

Digging will, of course, attract stone golems. These are resistant to pierce and slash damage. Maces work best. If one can hop on top of a stone golem, a pick is also effective. Staying on a stone golem can be tricky, however.

Digging will also attract wolves and drakes. Drakes always fly so you'll need a bow and arrows to fight them. Wolves are better fought with melee weapons and shields. Don't let them gang up on you in the open.

You will need frost resistance mead. Armor that provides frost resistance, the wolf chest armor, the wolf cape, and the lox cape, all require silver to make. Also, the best health and stamina meads one can make may save you along with one or two tasty meads.

Try to avoid fighting near steep slopes. Being knocked off a cliff can result in a fall with more damage than a single blow from any enemy.

When the Wishbone detects something hidden, it will start "beeping". The closer you are to target, the more quickly it will beep. When it is near-constant and you can't move to get it to go any faster, you should be right on top of your target. That is where you need to dig. Hidden things can include silver (in mountains), muddy scrap piles (in swamps), and graves (mountains/meadows). Sometimes, you can loot a grave and the wishbone will keep beeping; logging out and back in should fix that, sometimes teleporting away and back will too.

It is possible to lure a golem near a slope or rock formation so that you can get on top of it. From this position, a pick can inflict serious damage on a golem, but it's easy to slip off, leaving you in a position to be attacked by the golem. Arrows are the safe way to fight them, but that costs arrows and time. In good armor and armed with a decent weapon, golems aren't too bad to fight in melee.

An equipped wishbone will beep at 105 beats per minute or faster when you are directly over the center of a silver deposit. Alt-tab out of the game and Google "online metronome" and set it to 106. When the beep and metronome sync up while moving around, dig there for quick, perfect results.

When you use the power from the swamp boss you take less damage from the golems.

What is the order of importance for items to craft with Silver? I just made the wolf cape. What next?

Butchers table, for better food.

forgot to mention I just made that too, What next in terms of armor or weapon? I have level 4 iron sword right now as my best wep and level 4 iron armor with wolf cape lvl 2

I prioritized wolf cape first, then the wolf leggings, then the silver shield and then the sword, then the Draugur bow. I still have yet to kill 3rd boss. My bow, wolf leggings and silver shield, and wolf cape are all level four. Not sure when I will max out the silver sword. I'm still using the level one silver sword. I recently made the Drake Helm and maxed that out as well.
I'm now only using the chest piece root armor for the pierce resist as I'm preparing for the 3rd boss fight.

[AugustusKron]

i'd say there's no real universal priority after the cape and butcher block. i needed the bow right away on my last game because i skipped the iron bow. the spear is good, but not really against mountain biome enemies until Moder herself.

silver sword very important for upcoming boss, other than that nothing notable

just prepare for plain, you gonna spend a lot of time there

I didnt read any responses, but to let you know where the silver is, you need to go to the largest mountain on your seed and bring the wishbone to find it. Small mountain chains won't have it at all.

As for golem killing, I have found the pickaxe to be the most fun... and use terrain to your advantage.

Happy Holidays.
