Valheim 0.212.7: Mistlands
Patch 0.212.7 adds the Mistlands biome with 9 new creatures, a boss, new mechanics and a large set of new items and building pieces. The biome only generates in areas you haven't discovered yet, so heavily explored worlds may have little or no Mistlands to find. Mods will most likely stop the game from launching until they are removed or updated.
