Power Leveling & Optimal Traits

A Guide for Dead In Vinland

By: Laguna Queen

Major experience boost for any character to gain more traits!

Why are you writing this guide?

I enjoy helping others by writing about technical topics to a higher standard and provide key findings for a higher chance of success!

Who is the intended audience?

The guide is for everyone, but much friendlier to new players. Everything will be explained to be on the same level as those who are the most experienced. The writing will be easy to follow with plenty of screenshots for those who are too lazy to read everything!

How to Save Good Event Progress

The Save & Quit option must be used only if the best event outcome is achieved.

Otherwise, use Quit/Alt & F4 for every negative result.

Freyja (Blue Woman)

The first visit can successfully be done by Kari to obtain early Ancient Knowledge and +5 scavenging!

On second visit, have Eirik choose these options Freyja, Vanir, and Njörd to gain +5 wisdom.

On third visit, she heals all states at base of 20% when given milk.

On 4th visit, she needs to bring 3 beads to continue and choose ""How much?" & "For a price" to get the most useful Greedy Trait (+10 intelligence) to pass more skill checks in future. The Bleak Canopy Bed should be done first beforehand since there is a -10 charisma penalty.

Why should I care about the volcano?!

The other two options give Kola potions or Depression resist.

Special Linked Events For More Rewards

Specific choices at the two duo events (4 Total) give a much larger reward and benefits.

Mysterious Grave & Strange Lights

Do not open the Mysterious Grave gives a Blessing XP trait instead of Cursed and 27 depression healing at Strange Lights.

Moira needs to look for clues to level up her charisma to bypass some tribute events.

Kari can safely take the bones without penalty and get a permanent scavenge trait!

Floating Chest & Skull Tree

The Floating Chest needs to be examined first then buried to be dig up later at the Skull Tree for a much greater reward!

At the skull tree, Kari needs to first collect the most bones (4) and 10 rope. When digging the chest, she gets several fixed items but needs and roll for 3-4 meade and kola nuts.

Early Exploration

The events located at the bottom half of the island are considered to be early.

Mid-late game begins after passing the narrow land bridge where Bjorn's Camp is.

Locations can be known ahead of time and direction can be changed beforehand by not using the Save & Quit trick.

Mushrooms: Ancient Knowledge

Eirik needs to listen to the voices first for the early Ancient Knowledge!

Note: The +5 wisdom gain will only be detrimental to those who are power leveling.

Hunting can be saved for later when needed, preferably for 6th tribute.

Fruit Grove: Pelts & Fruit (For Tribute)

The character with highest hunting skill need to lie in wait and hunt for small game for very early pelts!

Kari needs to pick fruit and reach further into bush to get 3 Kola nuts.

Note: Gathering fruit must be saved on the day of 4th tribute to make the quota easier.

Dirty Clothing: Fabric & Kola Nuts

Kari searches for the owner first and examines the corpse to obtain as many as 4 Kola nuts.

Searching the dam just yields common wood and not high-quality Kola medicine.

She then takes all the clothing for the most fabric (10 is max)! Try again if the roll was bad.

Note: Vidar's shoes must be used on Cisse to reduce fatigue later on when he explores together.

Tinder Tree: Meade

Kari needs to harvest for more early experience and get as much as 4 Meads!

Gather the wood twice with character with most forestry skill for the most resources.

Ornate Coffer: Magic Pouch

Kari needs to pick lock and must roll for the magical pouch and 2 kola potions.

The pouch is for her use only as she is the only one who interacts with almost every exploration event and gain additional XP from harvesting.

Note: The amount of loot does not depend on scavenging skills and can be done much earlier.

Bickering Seagulls: +5 Hunting

Kari needs to attack them by successfully throwing pebbles to gain hunting experience!

Lost Shipment: Fire Crystal

Kari needs to search for the loot then search the sandbank.

Kari needs to sshoot and kill the bird first before searching the wreckage.

High scavenging skill is needed to get 3 bones and 10 rope.

Lastly, 14 wood can be scavenged when taking apart the boat.

Sea Serpent Bones: Strength XP & Bones

Kari can take the Elven hammer first for the strength boost.

She should take the bones later when her scavenging skills are closer to max.

Wild Sheep: Power Leveling

The petting of sheep gives free depression healing for anyone who needs it.

Dr. Sheep

By: Laguna Queen

Petting something fluffy is the only cure to depression!

Note: This event should not be completed as failed sheep catches are needed for power leveling.

Webbed Dark Hole: Ullr's Golden Arrow

Someone who does not harvest or cut trees must burn the webs for the best rewards!

Bob Marley & The Spiders

Community Created Artwork for Dead In Vinland

By: Laguna Queen

Even he hates spiders and fire is the only cure!

Little Animals: Pelts & Bones

Then, dismantle ravaged camp for wood and 8 rope.

Dismantle camp and try to get 8 rope.

Note: High scavenging skill is required before doing this event and preferably in the morning!

Fishing Spot: Luck Charm

Kari needs to hand catch 2 fish each time.

The most talented fisherman takes over to catch the bigger one for 5 fish (fixed) and avoid using the Mimir's Bracelet.

After completing all other options, Kari must obtain the Luck Charm when searching the waterbank. Such item allows her traits to focus more on combat instead of scavenge!

Kari needs to be the one who catches the bright orb.

Throw a stone first then salt for a free Ancient Knowledge!

She then needs to successfully escape to get a total of +15 exploration skill that is combined with the trait!

Scratched Rocks: Mining & Strength XP for Kari

This event has a limited use of 3 attempts with a series of three layers each. Only the first layer of rock adds strength experience and needs many failed checks.

If not on the last attempt, the event needs to be stopped before finishing the last layer that ends it.

Iron Vein: Mining XP for Kari

This event is similar to Scratched Rocks but much inferior with the very little XP gain.

Mining XP is only gained with the first 2 skill checks.

Note: Do not complete the event until the very last attempt to gain the most mining XP and iron!

Kari needs to first tear open the mattress for at least 3 bones.

Before lying on the bed, she needs to have at least 38 depression and boost charisma with all available Baldr's Crown.

She needs to close eyes, not resist, listem to them and be judged. The duration of the Ancestor's blessing needs to reach close to 18 days!

Note: Rune examination (Check the Curtains) can be entirely skipped.

Abandoned Cauldron: Ancient Knowledge

The "Eat Some" option should be saved on days when food is needed and select ignore voices to take home 5 cooked meals and satisfy 9 hunger.

Note: The temporary concentration penalty will have no effect on Kari's expertise.

Volup Naked Woman: Wunjo Blessing

Moira who has the highest charisma needs to smile at her first.

Alchemical Apparatus: Awakened Mind

Rune examination (Examine Bowl) is mandatory.

After using the fire crystal, Kari needs a bit of fatigue and depression before drinking black and gold.

The white one should be done by anyone with high sickness.

Afterwards, Kari inhales the red fumes for the Awakened mind trait!

Note: The gray liquid needs to be avoided because it just causes sickness!

Ball of Blue Fire: Torturer

Rune examination is mandatory.

Kari remove the candles to get rid of the outer flame circle for safer access to the fire.

Anyone who wants depression healing should feed the fire with 5 wood. For some reason, Torturer is actually a beneficial negative trait.

Note: This event must not be completed until the very end to renew Torturer when it expires.

Salt Marsh

Kari needs to use the blue shimmers to gain intelligence and charisma for difficult events.

Red Shimmers provide decent depression healing and best for those who are power-leveling.

Kari needs to check the salt twice for the valuable XP and the amount is negligent.

Horse Head

Kari will be the best survivor who can pass the 4 skill checks with several attempts.

The reward gives a massive +10 Courage boost but will give a temporary negative trait that increases fatigue and sickness.
