In the tales your people tell around the campfires and hearths in the long, dark nights of winter, there
are legends of an old stone road, that spans a whole continent….
In the old times, only the bravest adventurers dared to make their way from the lush, green meadows
towards the dark forest and the dangers that lurk there. With only the stars and their wits to guide
them, they followed the Olde Stone Road with faith, as all maps were lost ages ago. Some returned
with tales of strange and dangerous lands, fierce creatures along the way and wonders to be seen.
The lucky ones brought back rich and powerful treasures to proof their stories. Others were never
seen again and their names have been forgotten in time.
Travelers tell stories of safe places, abandoned houses and forgotten castles along the way, where
you can find shelter and a fire to rest and collect your strength, to prepare for what lies ahead. But
beware, no one knows, what might happen to you, when you leave the well-trodden path…


The Olde Road is a handbuilt Map, that leads you and your friends through the six
existing biomes of Valheim, where you progress through the game as you already know- exploring
the land, gathering your resources and forging your weapons and armor. We designed The Olde
Road to be played without a map, but we provide guidance along the way, so you are
not all on your own, if this is your first No Map experience. You need to use Valheim´s own “No map-
Vegvisir”-mechanic* to find the boss locations.

You will find the necessary resources close by, if you
follow our storyline. For the extra brave (or extra careless^^) among you, there are some spicy “side”
adventures and challenges hidden along the way- where you either have to fight your way through
and collect valuable treasure or risk to lose your possessions, with no easy way to get back to your
Base.

You need no mods to enjoy the full experience! If you are looking for the extra bit of security,
get yourself a compass-mod.

We hope you`ll have as much fun playing this adventure, as we had bringing it to life!
Skal and may Odin smile upon you,

Batgirl and Robin

*(Just click the Vegvisir and don`t move your camera, the game will turn you in the right direction/
straight line to the closest Boss.)

Some players reported a mapcrash in the Black Forest on the way to the Elder-Vegvisir.
We tried our best to remove all objects that we thought might cause the mapcrash to no success.
So we rebuilt a tiny bit of THE OLDE ROAD to bypass this specific area, so that you all should be safe from now on.

So if you come across a big sign telling you about a mapcrash, this is not a custom quest for you! Just stay on the road  ;)



Updated to V1.5. (Mistlands)
