Valheim Seed 6UEYX28fDC: Close Bosses, Silver Nearby Valheim 1.0.17
Valheim seed 6UEYX28fDC puts you at the edge of a Black Forest and next to mountains, with Eikthyr's altar only 0.2 km from where you spawn. The early game is compact: the first bosses and the trader are all close to the spawn, and silver is closer than in most worlds you could roll.
The seed
6UEYX28fDCFarthest of the first five bosses 5.8 km · Haldor 2.9 km · 47 km² of land at the spawnOpen on the map · Seed pageThe trade-off is room. The land you start on is small, and some of the later biomes sit a long way off. This guide covers what the seed gives you, what it withholds, and who should pick it.
Bosses and traders
The first five bosses (Eikthyr, The Elder, Bonemass, Moder and Yagluth) are all within reach of a modest trip. The farthest of them is 5.8 km away, which is short for a world that has to hold every boss.
| Boss | Distance from spawn to nearest altar |
|---|---|
| Eikthyr | 0.2 km |
| The Elder | 1.2 km |
| Bonemass | 3.5 km |
| Yagluth | 3.8 km |
| Moder | 5.8 km |
| The Queen | 6.8 km |
| The Frozen King | 8.6 km |
| Fader | 9.9 km |
Eikthyr is practically on your doorstep, and The Elder follows at 1.2 km. Bonemass and Yagluth sit close to each other in distance, at 3.5 km and 3.8 km. Moder is the most distant of the first five. Later bosses spread out: The Queen is 6.8 km away, The Frozen King 8.6 km, and Fader 9.9 km.
Haldor is 2.9 km from spawn, so the trader is easy to find early. Hildir is 3.1 km away and the Bog Witch 3.7 km.
Biomes around the spawn
Two biomes are right at your feet: the Black Forest and the Mountains are 0.2 km and 0.1 km away. You will not need to cross open meadow before reaching either.
- Swamp: 1.5 km
- Plains: 2.4 km
- Mistlands: 5.4 km
- Deep North: 7.5 km
- Ashlands: 8.3 km
The first three of those are close to the spawn. The Mistlands, Deep North and Ashlands are far from the start, with the Ashlands the farthest at 8.3 km.
The land share tells you what the world is made of. The Mistlands take 24.3% of the land, the largest slice, followed by the Black Forest at 21.8% and the Ashlands at 17.2%. The Plains cover 14.3% and the Deep North 10.2%. The Meadows and Swamp are each 4.1%, and the Mountains are 3.9%. Meadows are thin, so you leave the safe starting terrain quickly.
Metals
Ore is close throughout, with these approximate distances:
| Metal source | Approximate distance |
|---|---|
| Copper deposit | 0.2 km |
| Silver vein | 0.3 km |
| Tin deposit | 0.4 km |
| Muddy scrap pile (the Swamp iron) | 1.6 km |
Copper and tin are both within half a kilometre, and the silver vein is nearer than the tin. That is unusual, since silver normally comes late. The seed backs this up in its rankings: it places number 16 in the list "Seeds with silver close to the spawn". The Swamp iron is the one metal that needs a short trip, at about 1.6 km.
Landmass and dungeons
The landmass you spawn on is 47 km². That is not large, and it explains why the far biomes feel remote: you are on a modest island and will need to leave it to reach the later content.
Dungeons are plentiful, though. There are 23 within 3 km of the spawn, which gives you plenty of nearby places to explore without travelling far.
Who it suits, and where it falls short
This seed suits players who want a fast, low-friction start. With Eikthyr, a Black Forest, mountains, copper, tin and silver all close at hand, you can move through the first stages without long hauls. The 23 nearby dungeons add variety close to home, and the seed's number 18 position in "Seeds with mountains close to the spawn" reflects how near the peaks are, at 0.1 km.
The weak points are the later stages. Fader is 9.9 km from the spawn and The Frozen King 8.6 km, so the end of the boss list sits far from the start. The Mistlands are 5.4 km out and the Ashlands 8.3 km. The small 47 km² starting landmass is also worth keeping in mind. And with Meadows at only 4.1% of the land, there is little gentle terrain to fall back on.
If you enjoy a short early game and do not mind a stretched late game, it is a good pick. If you want every biome close to the spawn, look elsewhere.
