Valheim Hildirs Request Update Hits Test Servers Adding Difficulty Modifiers Dungeons More
Valheim’s big Ashlands biome update is unlikely to launch anytime too soon, but in the meantime, developer Iron Gate Studio has been promising a meaty content update -- previously known as Hildir’s Quest, but now renamed Hildir’s Request -- to tide players over. Well, that update has arrived for those playing on public test servers.
The Hildir’s Request update adds the titular new merchant Hildir, who will have some new missions for you. You can also look forward to a trio of classic dungeons, new world and difficulty modifiers, and, of course, the usual array of items and cosmetics. You can get a full rundown of the new Valheim Hildir’s Request content, below.
“Haldor is not the only merchant in the family – and his sister Hildir has made her way to Valheim at last. But she has had some trouble on the way, and it appears most of her stock has gone missing. When you find her, she might request some help! This update also brings some long awaited server modifiers; select a lower difficulty for a more casual experience, ramp it up for a hardcore playthrough, or come up with a mix of your own!”
