A popular pastime in the Valheim community, for some reason, is the construction of slides and ramps on which to ride boats down mountains. Most of these typically try to launch the boats (and accompanying riders) into the sky, but the latest one is more about navigating your way to the bottom with skill – and hopefully not dying in the process. <\/p>\n

As shared by Reddit user okayshima, this “mountain raft luge” is possibly the most complicated Valheim slide I’ve seen so far. Complete with start and finish signs, it’s an enormously long slide complete with named points of interest. One area decorated with dragon eggs is called The Nest, for instance, and there’s a particularly hairy jump through a ring called Moder’s Fall. Riders need to constantly repair the raft to prevent it from breaking (if you were wondering what all the hammering is about). <\/p>\n

What’s even more impressive is the group did this manually, without the help of game mods. The group did use debug mode on a separate server to prototype the whole thing, but the construction of the final product was done using vanilla Valheim. “Started gathering wood from our tree farm and building about two weeks ago, mostly on weekends and mostly done by one person, although with a bit of help from others at certain parts like the big ring,” okayshima explained. “Not sure about the actual number of hours.”<\/p>\n
