In Valheim, a player tried to ride a Deathsquito, but the vile beast took revenge and carried him to the highest point in the area.
In the new survival game Valheim, players have many options and freedom in how they spend their free time. Some Vikings build huge houses, while others tame animals.
But a brave warrior decided to take a ride on one of the deadliest foes in the game: a Deathsquito.
This is what happened: The hero of our story is the user YaKoiza, who reported his adventure in a thread on the Valheim subreddit. He posted a video of him confronting a Deathsquito. These are nasty mosquitoes that can quickly spell doom for unwary players because they can deal serious damage.
Skillfully, YaKoiza deflected the attack of the nasty insect with his shield and then jumped onto its back. For a moment, he seemed to triumphantly ride the Deathsquito, but the beast had other plans for him.
It dropped him on the highest rock in the area, where he was suddenly trapped:
As punishment, he took out the bloodsucker, but the problem of being stuck up there remained, of course.
This is how the adventure ended: Luckily, the brave Viking had good friends he could rely on. To get the mosquito rider down, they began dismantling the base of the pillar.
The result was that it lost its support, collapsed, and the Viking came back down to the ground along with the debris. In another video, YaKoiza shows what the rescue operation looked like from his perspective (via medal.tv).
To survive the fall damage, the Viking had to increase his HP. He stated that he ate three different types of the best food in the reddit thread and ended up with 185 HP with an even higher maximum.
Since fall damage is capped at 100 points, he was able to survive. In our guide, we explain in detail which is the best food in Valheim.
When the pillar underneath him finally collapsed, he lost 100 HP to fall damage and survived the adventure with some bruises and cuts.
What are Deathsquitoes? Of course, the question arises for some: Why did he even challenge the Deathsquito? In a post on reddit, YaKoiza wrote that the nasty insects had killed his friends multiple times and he was “deeply outraged” about it.
The smallest enemies in Valheim are really nasty beasts, even if they look harmless. They appear in the plains biome and can take out an unprepared Viking with a single attack.
You should be most afraid of the smallest enemies in Valheim.
