This is the most vertical mountain I've ever come across in my 2k+h of Valheim. It located on a rather small island surrounded by plains and meadows, and two thin strips of Swamp plus a small dash of Black Forest. But this mountain's tip reaches through the clouds - so sheer vertical mountainsides dominates the island, with lots of large rocks and boulders strutting out into the air. On the absolute steepest side the mountain really goes down to almost sea level.

It screams for some crazy creativity of large structures - [debug +b] was made for this, as much as the other way around!

On top of that (haha) - there is 7 (!) caves, including one Howling one (for Hildir's quest), and one with Tetra fish (says on mapgen, havent been there to check yet). And 5 Drake Nests for eggs. Most spots are easy to find because almost everything is one-way mountainside. Not many flat spots around, I haven't looked for Silver yet. But then again it is not many Stone Golems around either, hopefully.

The Island also has a veryverry charming location for Hildir, with her camp as good as on the shore which is rare. I haven't really explored the swamps, but I swear I saw some Pile of Iron crap like from the crypts, jutting out of a wall somewhere... Mapgen says no crypts.

On the steepest side I chinked out (yes manually with pickaxe) a groove that goes all the way up the mountain, from swamp at sea level to cave on top. Hardly room to put a toe in anywhere along the way, and it took more than 30 min while flying. On the bottom of that I used Planbuild Mod's terrain tools to raise some swamp to max height just for kicks.

I hope you can enjoy my crappy (sry 4 that) video, and/or the seed even more!

There's also a frost cave at the very top, with a howling cavern and tetra lake nearby

I just did. Very similar shape, size and features. The seed I posted is maybe slightly more spectacular/interesting, but not a lot. Mine's a few inches taller and has a cave on the very top, which is even more awesome than the proverbial cherry on t..
It's also maybe slightly steeper (cleaner) in parts, and it comes down to Swamp on the steepest side, so it goes super-low heightwise on the Mountain biome on that side.
Less plains on my Island, more Meadows and includes nice Hildir Location. Mine has nothing in plains while yours has 2 Tar pits, and your map also has a huge Swamp with many Crypts just across to the east west.

Nice spot, thanks for sharing. Still very much a WIP.

Good to see you're having fun. I've hardly started.. dunno if I ever finish, thinking this build has to be soooo effing large to be worthy of the mountain.

possibly one of the three known highest peaks. I don't remember which is which. But, it is Polaris, Thorn, & Hook. One has a connecting ridge of land to and joining peak, and it rests either just below or just above the cloud line. But, AFAIK there is only one that actually breaks through the cloud layer(I think Polaris), and the third highest peak in Val rests just below the cloud layer. So, that can kinda help you gauge which peak you may have.
