Mind-Blowing Valheim Chicken Trap Maze Stuns Gamers

A Valheim player hilariously meets their demise at the hands of a chicken, setting off a chain reaction of traps. The introduction of Hammer mode, Valheim's version of Creative, has attracted many players back to the game. With Valheim set to come to Xbox Game Pass in March, the community has expanded across multiple platforms. Since the release of Hammer mode, the game has seen a surge in Steam players, ranking it at number 58 in the most played category. Despite being in early access, Valheim receives regular updates from Iron Gate studios, who are diligently preparing the game for its full launch. This latest patch has already resulted in some comical and memorable experiences for players.

Reddit user NahNahNahNahNahYeah recently shared a video showcasing their innovative approach to protecting their house in the game Valheim. In the clip, they demonstrate how they have cleverly rigged traps connected to explosives throughout their home. This particular video, titled "The Clucking Menace," features a chicken that innocently follows the player into the house but becomes entangled in a maze designed to be easily navigated by the Viking character. As the player settles into their bed for slumber, the chicken accidentally triggers one of the traps, resulting in a chain reaction that devastates the house, causing destruction to both the property and the unfortunate animal alongside the Valheim player.

Chickens were recently introduced to Valheim through the Mistlands update, typically behaving passively like other animals such as deer, crows, and gulls. However, NahNahNahNahNahYeah discovered a way to transform this otherwise harmless creature into a deadly foe. The intricate domino effect showcased in the Valheim clip has captured the attention and admiration of fans, who appreciate the dedication required to set up such an elaborate trap and capture it from the perfect camera angles. The video concludes with the Viking character's lifeless body lying beside a tombstone rather than the bed they had previously occupied, which could have served as their Valheim spawn point.

The player is most likely using Valheim Hammer mode to create this maze of traps and the explosives that react to their activation. However, it is possible that they are employing an alternative approach. NahNahNahNahNahYeah mentions using console commands to record the chicken triggering the traps in their video, suggesting that they may be utilizing a range of these text-based options instead of Hammer mode. Valheim is currently in early access and can be played on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
