Valheim player discovers that the sea is one big trampolineIt all started with a longboat and a mega-ramp
It all started with a longboat and a mega-ramp
Valheimis a lovely viking survival game withmysterious treesand carrots that simplyrefuse to be planted. It’s a strange, strange world, and one player has discovered another one of its quirks. Having sent their viking longship down a cloud-touching mega-ramp, soared through the air, and hit the sea, they discovered that water in norse purgatory is actually made of trampoline.
Firstly, I am in awe of the sheer velocity the longboat gains when hurtling down the mega-ramp. It is akin to the rattle of a plane taking off, or those particularly high octane moments in the bobsled film Cool Runnings.
What’s most extraordinary is the way the boat collides with the water and springs off into the sun, though. I was expecting it to plunge into the sea, shred some mackerel, almost quit to desktop at the sheer strain of the endeavour, and eventually bob back up to the surface. But nope, it literally reflects off the water with ease, not even a ripple registered.
As one commenter so eloquently puts it, “Why is the water made out of trampoline”. Another commenter who is almost definitely a viking monk replies, “Odin wills it so”. I suppose that does make sense, I mean, the gods are in charge of Valheim after all.
I went for a little sailing trip in Valheim with my friends the other day, but having seen this footage, it now feels a little tame. Next time, I will suggest we build a mega-ramp, and maybe we’ll bounce across the sea toward untold riches.
Or maybe, I’ll just install some veryhelpful Valheim modsor gawk atthese ridiculous builds. That’s probably safer.
