Valheim

Valheim

An easy fix to remove one particular raid from the list? (Raid Spoilers!)
I love building most of all and I do not mind occasionally getting something hammered down and destroyed by trolls or the likes. Nearly all raids are challenging and fun to defend against, Exception to the rule are the Bats from You stirred the Cauldron. Since I have unlocked those, 5/6 raids are bats and they never kill me (They hardly do anything), but they just fly in to destroy all my livestock then die on the closest bonfire. I like my boars to just roam around the village without spending about half my playtime replenishing my population. The other raids kill some boars, but it feels like they have a fighting chance. 'You stirred the cauldron' is just auto reboot of the breeding program.

I know about the following solutions:

- Save 2 in a windowless barn so you can restart your breeding program.
- Start anew and never go into an Ice Cavern (which I have considered many times now).
- Install a mod an remove or reset all raids.

None of these are what I want, although I now have 2 in a small windowless room, because I have to. I just want my area to look lively without it being a full-time job. I am losing interest in chilling in my base.

That raid is unlocked by having defeated both Bonemass and a bat, so you could use the resetkeys command and don't kill those again.

Yes, you'd have to hit all the triggers for the ones you want to actually restart. Theoretically there's a parameter you can pass to resetkeys that would stop a single specific raid but I'm not sure anyone's ever got it to work that way.

Ah, so if I am reading this correctly, I can reset the events and just trigger all the events by defeating the bosses again and steering clear of the Caves? That is peanuts compared to constantly rebuilding my boar population. I am no stranger to the Grind as I have build multiple towns in Life is Feudal and in comparison, Valheim grind is a breeze.

Thanks a lot for the help!

Ah. thanks for the additional info. I do not need the boars for anything other than adding to the atmosphere in the town my GF and I are building. So I will lay off that bit until I have completed said things and then reset.

If you build a saddle for your lox you can stop the panic and direct the lox's movement. Obviously only works on a small number of lox but it works.

Have your boar farm somewhere else with minimal buildings that can spawn a raid. Perhaps make it near a small farm for veggies so that you have something to do while being near them.

Raids only occur in areas that have a certain amount of specific building pieces like workbenches, forges, etc... so if you have a small area with like 2 workbenches just to stop spawns from happening in the farm itself - you should be good.

Huh. I've had Lox panic while I was riding them; maybe if I had more riding skill I
could have controlled it.
I'll have to go visit my herd; something is bound to agitate them and I'll try this out.

Weird I don't have a good riding skill (I've only ridden a little overall) and it seemed like I could control it anyway. Is "panic" the same as "aggroed"??

Maybe there are different levels of panic?

Let me know if you are successful I'm curious now lol. I have two saddled lox outside of my lox enclosure and I have ridden them back from enemy encounters several times. It might be that there has to not be any active enemies in their line of sight or something.

Also try petting them before hopping on and while on it if that is possible. I do that too when it happens since that simulates calming spooked horses in RL.
