an unfortunate Walheim The player had the misfortune of being attacked by a wolf within seconds of stepping onto the mountain. They have thus already experienced the harshest possible introductions Walheim Biome.
Walheim Features various enemy events in which mobs attack the player in large numbers. Fans commonly refer to these events as “raids” because most are triggered when the player is near three or more base structures, allowing spawned creatures to effectively attack their base. The wolf raid is the only exception, as it can start anywhere once it is added to the raid rotation. This happens after defeat Walheimof Bonemass owner and visiting either the plains or, more commonly, the mountains.
Valheim is finally launching on PlayStation
Developer Iron Gate Studios finally confirms that the popular title Valheim will launch for PlayStation consoles, sharing the release window.
The unlucky Walheim player falls prey within seconds of visiting the mountain
Due to its requirements, a wolf raid is usually not triggered until the player has spent some time exploring the mountains. However, Reddit user Millelys recently experienced some unusually bad luck, encountering a challenging event less than a minute after first logging in. WalheimMountain biome. This event was preceded by a lone wolf attack at the foot of the mountain, resulting in a battle, as is often the case when using swamp-tier (or lower) gear against mountain foes. After narrowly surviving, Milelis is met with the ominous message “You are being hunted”, followed by four more dire wolves charging at them, leaving them reeling as they embark on their mountain adventure.
The resulting wolf pack overwhelms the player in seconds, making for a particularly harsh introduction to the biome. The situation could have been worse if Milelis hadn't started retreating when he saw the pack. As a result, they were killed near the base of the mountain rather than at the top. This probably made the latter corpse much more orderly. A video of their ill-fated first trip to the mountain garnered over 1,700 upvotes and appeared on the front page of one of the sport's biggest subreddits within hours of being posted in mid-January 2026. It also sparked more than 300 comments. Walheim Players agree that encountering a wolf attack within seconds of visiting the Mountain is extremely bad luck.
Milelis also made the encounter more difficult by not using the best Walheim Food combinations are available for them before entering the hills. As shown in the opening moments of their video—where their inventory appears—they defeated Bonemass before exploring the Mountain Biome. After spending enough time in the swamp, they had access to significantly better food than the beginner-level options they were used to, increasing their HP to only 100. Still, even with three times the health, surviving wolf attacks usually requires much better gear than what they're equipped with.
How to deal with the wolf raid of Valheim
Broadly speaking, Valheim's top priority when dealing with wolf attacks is to avoid being surrounded and limiting angles of attack, as wolves strike quickly and can overwhelm even well-equipped players. The Bonemass Forsaken ability is particularly effective in these situations, increasing resistance to all physical damage and making it easier to block. It lasts for 300 seconds, ie, more than twice the duration of a normal wolf attack.
Once stamina management is sorted, the most effective way to clear a wolf pack is to use area-of-effect attacks like Atgear Spin, Stagbreaker Slam, or Oz Bombs. Since the wolf AI tends to charge directly at the player, it's sometimes possible to retreat to remote locations and use ranged attacks to reduce their numbers. However, this is unreliable, and players are generally better off learning to fight packs in the air. With experience, wolf raids become a quick and easy source of meat and pelts, to the point that even experienced players can see them.
