Pay Attention to Wind Direction for Valheim

Pay Attention to Wind Direction

It is essential that you are aware of the wind direction when you are hunting animals (especially deer), as they are sensitive to scent and if they smell your presence in the vicinity they will run away long before they see you.

There are two ways in which you can determine which way the wind is blowing and remain stealthy while hunting. You can either check the tiny arrow in the lower left corner of your minimap which indicates the current direction the wind is blowing or by looking at the white streaks in the game world that represents the wind.
