Guide to Dead In Vinland

Not all who wander are lost

This is a general guide to most events in Dead In Vinland. While trying to finish the game I got quite frustrated with the lack of guides for the game. So since after finishing the game I wanted to play it some more, explore the things I didn't the first several times, I decided to write a guide to help all those travelers stuck in Vinland, confused and looking for just a little bit of help on how to survive. I've done my best to collect as much information possible, but I don't have everything because even the chance of an event appearing on any given map is random.

Basics

Randomness and chance

Remember: Everything is random! Sure sometimes it will feel like all the buildings that you have the least resources to fix seem to decay faster than the ones you have plenty of resources for. Sure it seems like the gods against you when a 60% chance to succeed roll fails 4 times in a row. But remember, there was also that one time when a 30% chance succeeded twice in a row. It's all a chance! Even on the map, there are only a couple of things which have set locations, the rest, including the list of events that will appear, are randomized.

General tips

• dry Raw Fish, cook Raw Meat
  
• red numbers next to actions mean that it'll deplete the event
  
• a number after an action (like x1) means that you can only try the action that many times
  
• when choosing a character for action, remember to look at the second number, not just the skill number
  
• remember to check each character's activity after every half day
  
• don't do hunting or fishing events unless you can cook or dry the meat soon
  
• adapt to your needs

Björn's Tribute

These are the tributes as much as I've seen them.

Fresh produce tributes have some sort of an extra way so don't stress about those too much. "Fetch more" with +fatigue for fruit, "Eat mud" with +sickness for meat.

Day	Tribute to pay	Notes
7	10 Wood
14	8 Potable water	You can trick Elof by giving him non-potable water (Charisma)
21	30 Wood
28	40 Fresh fruit	Elof raises the tribute when he arrives from 30 Fresh fruit to 40 pieces.
35	40 Wood
42	20 Raw meat	You can lower an amount of meat to 15/10/5/0 but Kari most probably gets Mud Eater trait (7d)
49	30 Rope
56	20 Raw fish	Moira can trick Elof by skillchecks so you con't have to pay tribute
63	20 Stone
70	40 Rope
77	20 Iron
84	30 Dried meal
91	30 Beers
98	60 wood
105	30 stone
112	60 Fresh fruit
119	40 raw meat
126	50 Rope
133	80 Wood
140	40 Stone
150	70 Rope
160	100 Wood
170	60 Stones
180	70 Rope
190	100 Wood
200	60 Stone

Giving the exact number doesn't change the threat level. Giving more decreases threat and giving less increases threat. If your threat reaches a new notch, Björn's people will pay a visit to you and you'll get bullied.

1. Get beat up
   
2. A tough battle
   
3. Resources stolen
   
4. Get beat up + resources demanded to mitigate some damage
   
5. A tough battle
   
6. ?

Skills

Working at almost every station can give you a point or two in either innate or acquired skills, or sometimes even both at the same time. This can be useful if you are looking to develop a character's specific skill. For that I've made a handy little table, based on my findings and the station's location:

Healing Tent	+Courage
Rest Area
Workshop	+Strength	+Crafting

Elof

Once you find him, he promises to help you if you recruit the other 4 minions. Once you've recruited the other 4, wait 1 night scene and then approach him. There are a couple of ways this could turn out depending on your choices:

   • Murder Elof and then attack Björn
     
   • Spare Elof and find another way

        • Spare Elof, bring him 1 Tasty Cooked Meal and attack a weakened Björn
2. Attack Björn
