Each time you are struck down, you will forget a small part of your abilities and drop your belongings at the site of the accident. If you wish you were home by now I'd recommend building a bed, wherever home may be.

When the temperature drops at night, or if you are wet, you will suffer from being cold. This reduces your stamina regeneration. Seeking shelter by an open flame is your best option when this happens.

Deposit your raw ore in this furnace and it will melt away all impurities, leaving you with a bar of refined metal to work at the forge. You will need coal to fuel the smelter. Coal can be produced by building a kiln and loading it with wood.

Consuming food is of utmost importance to a viking warrior, even in the afterlife. Having a full belly both fortifies your health and improves your stamina. Food can be found everywhere in the world, and a great deal of it can be prepared at a cooking station.

Portals are great for fast travel between different parts of the world. Of course, you need to build one on the other end as well, then give the pair the same name and they will be automatically connected!

Kraa! Although severed from the trunk, I can see that magic still lingers in the roots of the old ash. Needless to say, no weapon of your design will be able to break the bark. You need something better, fashioned by more capable hands.

Kraa! A sad memory lingers here... A faint echo in the air... Once these rang for joy to celebrate his passing but now he cannot bear the sound nor the reminder. If you seek to bring him give them voice once more.

The black forest is rich in minerals. There you can find copper in the ground and tin lining the ocean shore. Now go forth and strike the earth!

You have been granted the power of Eikthyr. Use it in times of need. Your next target dwells in the black forest. Go there, explore the lands, and uncover their lost treasures and resources. The Elder awaits!

Return to the Sacrificial Stones with your Forsaken trophy and offer it as a sacrifice to make the Gods smile upon you.

With this tool you will raise mighty halls and towering fortifications. Start by building a workbench. This in turn will enable you to construct other things.

Well done, warrior! You have found the sacrificial blood, the final key to restoring this realm. Now the All-Father has one last task for you – prove yourself worthy by journeying back to where it all began!

Raw ore needs to be refined in the smelter before you can work it at the forge. To build a smelter you will need surtling cores. Search for them in the dark places beneath the earth.

Most items must be crafted. However, due to your recent departure from Midgard, you will have to recall the true shape of objects. Just pick things up and it will all come back to you, I'm sure. My lesser brother, Munin, tells me one can fashion a stone axe out of wood and stone.

Prepare items: Wood / Stone / Flint

Delves and dungeons can be found across the tenth world. They are monuments of the past, and most often filled with the riches of civilizations long lost. Remember to bring a light source!

You have found the summoning place of one of the Forsaken. Make the correct offering at their altar and they will come. Be wary though, the Forsaken are not easy prey, so craft a wicked weapon, don your finest armour, and eat a hearty meal before engaging them in combat.

Kraa! Pick their bones and break their domes!

These magical stones were scattered throughout the lands by Oden as signposts pointing toward the ritual grounds of the Forsaken. If inspected closer, this one will reveal the summoning place of Eikthyr, your first prey. He is a mighty beast, so you need to properly arm yourself before even attempting to defeat him.

Now you'll be able to craft ceramic tiles, which have excellent heat insulation. You'll need them if you're to travel southwards!

The enemy fortresses are built from sturdy stuff. You'll need machines like this one if you're to break through their walls.

Sleep the night away in your bed and awaken feeling refreshed and full of energy. Another improvement to your home would be some chests where you can store items. It is good practice to always have some spare equipment, if something unfortunate should happen to you while exploring...

With this table you can record and share your explorations of the tenth world. Use the toolbox to record your progress and take a look at this large map to copy what others have explored.

If you carry too much luggage you will become encumbered, slowing you down and preventing you from regaining your stamina.

Warrior, what kind of contraption is this?! It looks dangerous... There is a grinding funnel up here, I wonder what you will put into it.

Trying your hand at scrying the runes are you? I'm impressed, sorcerer! Charms and conjurations will take their toll. If you wish to master the arts you must find appropriate sustenance. As it happens, the parts around here are looking ripe with all sorts of delicious new ingredients to gather. Lucky you!

This tool is used for landscaping. You could say it is the perfect complement to the hammer. Use it to clear the ground and manipulate the terrain. It is easier to create buildings on level ground!

Jump in, the water's nice and warm!

You have found a snack. Consume it to improve your health and stamina. Be aware that before long you will grow hungry again, so try to always have at least a couple of different meals ready.

Kraa! This should keep away whatever the sky might throw at you.

The ward emits a strong aura which prevents other vikings from building things. It also locks all doors within its influence.

It seems one of the many bones this living ossuary hid in his belly was a Wishbone. This bone contains powerful magic which guides you to things hidden in the earth. It can locate silver veins, but may also lead you to buried treasure...

A strange edifice indeed. I wonder what it will attract. Let us just perch here for a while and see what happens... Warrior, I am bored. Besides, it is not my job to babysit the likes of you long into the night... Just be vigilant and I'm sure you will be rewarded.

A shield allows you to block incoming damage. If your timing is perfect, the enemy may also be parried. Be careful though, if you block too many hits you will become staggered. The amount of damage you can block before becoming staggered depends on your maximum health, so if you plan on tanking a lot of damage you should eat food that increases your health. Heavier shields will block more damage but will also slow you down.

A workbench allows you to craft complex items as well as giving you access to lots of more building pieces to construct with the hammer.
