Notes[]

  • Entering a Sunken Crypt and leaving Draugr alive there will count towards spawn caps effectively suppressing their spawns in a large area.
  • Draugr or Draug - "the undead of Valheim", also called aptrganga or aptrgangr in the Norse literature. Draugr live in their graves, often guarding treasure buried with them in their burial mound.
  • From a Runestone: "Long ages ago, the world of Valheim was home to a race of proud and noble people. They built great towers that touched the clouds and delved deep into the earth for precious metals. But their pride was their undoing. They challenged the very gods and went to war against the Aesir and Vanir, destroying themselves completely. Great Odin leveled their cities and Loki consumed their mines in fire. Mighty Thor broke down their towers and Freya sowed their fields with salt tears. Now they are sunk many hundred of years deep. No song sing of their stories, and the earth has claimed their cities. But pride cannot be killed entirely and the warriors who fought in that final battle will not surrender until their bodies are dust and the dust long gone. They return as Draugr, unholy walkers in ancient armour, creatures of rust and despair. Break them, bury them, let them know they are dead."
