A Redditor has captured a battle for the ages in Valheim: a fight between a troll and a sea serpent on the shores of an island. Valheim has quickly become one of the best-selling PC games of 2021, despite still being in early access on Steam. The team is constantly improving the game, as it is technically still in active development. However, Valheim’s unfinished state hasn’t stopped players from becoming enthralled with it.

Valheim is becoming known for the Minecraft-like creative freedom it gives players, a freedom that many have taken to unbelievable places. Castles, Taco Bells, battleships, and even steampunk airships have been built with incredible accuracy. With how many players the game has received in just a couple of months on the market, there seems to be a constant stream of new constructions and discoveries in Valheim. Given the game’s procedural generation, it’s hard to say that anyone has explored everything there is to explore or seen everything there is to see. The world is vast and has so many variables that interesting building opportunities and phenomena can be found around every corner.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

The latest phenomenon (captured by Redditor dokeyh_) is a troll battling it out with a sea serpent. In the video posted by the user, the player watches from aboard their ship as a troll, with water up to its chest, attacks the serpent by the shore. The video even shows the troll’s triumph over the sea creature as it lifts a tree log above its head and slams it down, reducing the serpent to an animation of spattered blood. The video ends with the troll emerging back onto land as the lone victor.

Valheim offers something for many audiences, including procedurally generated worlds, exploration, intense boss battles, crafting, building, and an overarching narrative, including lore. It’s even been embraced by the speedrunning community, proving that Valheim is perfect for someone who wants to pour hundreds of hours into a relaxing experience full of building and creativity, speed through it as an exhilarating series of bosses, or do anything in between. Millions of people play the game, and there are thousands of players on at any given moment, so clearly, Valheim offers something rather unique to gamers.

Sometimes, games bring out the best in the gaming community, and Valheim is proving to be one of those games. Seeing a troll fight a serpent is a great testament to just how intricate and alive Valheim is, and it likely gives the developers great pride to see their creation working in such a way. Developing and designing a game is a creative process in and of itself, but it’s always magical when a game brings out the creativity of its players as well. Valheim has also inspired artists to draw encounters from the game in their free time. Valheim is here to stay, and it’ll be that way as long as there’s more to discover and more to create.
