How the hell are you supposed to get your stuff back?

[(☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞]

When it takes hours to recraft the items that allow you to survive longer than 10 seconds in the biome you died in?

1. Have spare stuff
2. Run fast
3. Turn off inventory drop (you will keep stuff that you equipped at least)

:D remember when 3 was not an option. aaaah nothing like corpse runs for your gear, and lots and lots of deaths. Good times, would never go back.

Strongly recommend keeping a second (or third or fourth) set of gear in storage at your base.

Similar to what Dr. Venture said: if you have death-prone children, you keep a few clones handy.

Keep all your previous gear. Have healing meads. Sneak. Use powers.

Everyone has their own methods.
- spare bow. naked, without food, with nothing but the previous tier bow and arrows, you can usually kill whatever got you and go get your stuff.
- stealth. naked, no food, just quietly run in and get your stuff while the thing that ate you is looking the other way.
- friends. If you play with other people, or are willing to let someone come help you, etc they can help you clear the corpse. There used to be a group of players who would do exactly that upon request.
- previous tier gear is just like the first time you entered that area. It may not be awesome, but you are expected to be able to survive it well enough to get started.

- dare I say it, but you can cheat. you can reload your previous backup of your character file (not the world file) and you will load into the game with all the stuff you had. Better, when you clear the corpse, you get that spare set of gear as your body also dropped a copy.

sometimes, the dragon wins. That is to say, there will be times when its pretty much a lost cause and running in just means dying again. Then you just have to pick up the pieces and recover using what you have and what you can get to rebuild stronger and better than ever. It should not happen too often that you can't recover but it will, at some point in your career. A moment of pure bad luck is all it takes to end up at the bottom of a dungeon with a ** rancid remains sitting on your corpse, or something like that. Its important to RUN AWAY if you get into it with something awful that is going to kill you: if you do that, you will move your future corpse away from the patrol location of the offending enemy. If you go all last stand on them, you will end up with it sitting there laughing at your naked future self trying to get your stuff back.

Or just set the penalty to maximum with the world modifiers and you dont need to get anything back. :D

[sora]

If you enable Passive enemies in the World Modifiers section of the game's settings, enemies will not attack unless the player attacks them, allowing you to safely retrieve your belongings.

Once you've retrieved your belongings, simply disable the setting and you're done.

You're not supposed to die...

I... disagree. You are suppose to die. Hell, you died before the game even starts and then were chosen to go to Valheim.

Here is the first trailer I seen for Valheim. Causing me to buy the game immediately and 20 bucks plus tax was a steal.

I've been embracing death, just as the trailer says, since February 2021.

[Red Purger]

I remember dying in an ice cave once, deep in the bottom surrounded by Fenris and cultists. All my best stuff down there. Trying to loot run that was a nightmare.

[Draconis]

Try to see it from a different point of view:

You don't lose your stuff out there but you add another treasure to the world whenever you die.

It took me quite some time to learn that, but once you do you actually play the game much more relaxed.

Even if that can mean you have to go back to the previous biome, explore more, build new outposts etc. There's no need to rush the game, and nothing reminds you better of that than a corpse with precious gear in a dangerous place.

With patience, perseverance and using your head and the tools provided. This is one of those games, in fact the only one I know of, where you really are a part of the game.
