Killed in sleep, mob at bed. Help ?
I had just killed the 2nd boss Elder and went home, shut door and went to sleep. Woke up with mob of 15-20 draug and skeletons surrounding my bed and I was killed in a few hits. I get respawned in the same place with 25 HP and get killed in one hit. All my stuff is there in one of the gravestones in bed, but I only have about 1-2 seconds before I am killed again. I can't get a hammer to take apart a wall because I've tried about 20 times and there are too many bed gravestones to choose from. There are so many draug/skeletons inside, they block the door. Is the game over? Is there any way to recover or go back in time ?

Thanks for any help!

Right as you spawn try and click on a gravestone and close out of it. You’ll get the corpse run buff which should prevent you from dying in one hit. Try and escape the area and obtain enough wood for a hammer. Then break the bed and when you die next you’ll spawn at the world spawn. Last lure the enemies out of your house and then grab your items.

is it a raid event? you can:
get help from a friend.
use console commands.
try to dodge roll outta there (mobs should follow you and you can kite them away from your bed)

Thanks for the great tips, I will use it next time.

Awesome! Thanks :) I am still learning and these ideas I will try out.

This is why you never, ever share your home address, no matter how friendly anyone is in the Meadows. The mob is the mob.

I do not believe this at all.

Mobs do not spawn in rooms with closed doors
The game tells you and prevents you from sleeping if mobs are near.

Since it’s very likely he was killed by a swamp event, he went to bed before the event started and then the mobs spawned as he was falling asleep, which would allow them to enter his house and camp at his bed (Mobs do spawn and can move while sleeping). It’s likely a combination of bad luck and poor house coverage with core structures so that there was spaces that mobs could spawn in/near his house.

In case of a raid, won't the draugar break down doors or wooden walls? But death didn't occurred while asleep, for sure or it's a bug.

Same thing happened to me, only with the Horde attacking, I died 3 times. Event started just as I was going to sleep. Yeah, fight your way out from a bunch of goblins, Draugrs are sissies after that! :steamhappy:

Turns out, I had left a door open and there was a spot in my base that a workbench didn't cover and that's where they spawned (that issue was quickly taken care of).

Maybe need a different base set up. For me after I killed the Elder. I keep getting trolls invasions 'ground is shaking' event. They do some minor damage to no damage at all. I pull the bow out and pick them off. I have 3 bases and all troll proof.

They do not spawn indoors though, they spawn outside the ring and move inwards.

Spawning indoors is irrelevant given the game is still running and doing its thing as you are going to sleep, and if there was open door and insufficient workbench coverage while there is x-seconds of time the player is unable to do anything due fading in black, seeing whatever sleep message there is and whatnot while everything else in the game is free to move and do whatever they will, it is perfectly possible to find indoors swarmed with enemies as you wake up.

You are free to replicate and verify that in separate seed with help of console commands and debugmode. Not saying such scenario is common but it is technically possible.
