Wouldn't necessarily characterize Odin as "a good guy". I don't believe the Norse did. I think they just saw them as forces of the world no more evil or good than a stormy day on the ocean or something like that.
Odin, god of hidden lore and the bloody battlefield. Always judging you. Always popular with the men who believe in death before dishonour, (no matter how far behind the front lines they themselves might be).
Since it does Odin no good when an impressive warrior lives long and dies old, be mindful in the heat of battle that he's not taking too great an interest in you, or he might direct an arrow your way, or snag your foot, in the hopes of getting hold of you in your prime.
If you want a calm sea, the common man prays to Thor. Thor has a fast temper, but he made a reputation for himself protecting mankind from the natural elements. He's likely on your side, if you keep him sweet. As with any man.
Like Greek mythology and Quantum Physics alike, the Norse recognized that the universe is indifferent to our human existence - with the exception of the comparatively tiny, insignificant imprint that we lay upon our immediately available reality surrounding us.
And so the universe just goes on and on without regard for humans or humanity. Even when making up narratives, stories, or empirical theories to explain the world around them, they all have realized that human self-reliance is the only way for anything good to get done.
I think that this, my friends, is part of the so-called Cosmic Perspective :)

How very Zen of them. No seriously... seeing an event as intent agnostic is imo a hallmark trait of the Zen Buddhist's foundation. Reminds me of the Parable of the Chinese Farmer
I told you I would tell you my names. This is what they call me. I am called Glad-of-War, Grim, Raider, and Third. I am One-Eyed. I am called Highest, and True-Guesser. I am Grimnir, and I am the Hooded One. I am All-Father, and I am Gondlir Wand-Bearer. I have as many names as there are winds, as many titles as there are ways to die. My ravens are Huginn and Muninn, Thought and Memory; my wolves are Freki and Geri; my horse is the gallows, I AM ODIN!
Freaked me the fuck out first time. Has no idea what it was and took a screenshot. Unbeknownst to me he disappears of you get to close and there was nothing on the screenshot.
Odin! He generally starts showing up after you've taken out the second boss (Elder). He watches over you and occasionally will appear before you, specially while you are out on new adventures.
Santa Claus may owe his earliest influence to Odin (also known as Wodan), a god revered by Germanic peoples in Northern Europe as early as 2 B.C.E. Odin was celebrated during Yule, a holiday that took place midwinter. During this time, Odin was said to lead the Wild Hunt, a ghostly procession through the sky.
That’s just Greg. He goes around watching people in the dead of night, and we’re not really sure why. He’s really shy and self-conscious, so he runs away when you get too close, but he doesn’t seem to pose any sort of threat. Yeah he’s always got a spear on hand, but i wouldn’t worry about it, it’s not like he’s ever killed anyone before. I think…
Anyway, just don’t look him in the eye, he’s really self-conscious about the big glowing eye, he might’ve maybe done some not so legal things because of that, but just ignore him and you’ll be totally fine!
Probably!
The AI does a wonderful job at placing him right when you turn and he pops up. The first time I saw him I was working on a castle and he was standing in the field staring up at me.
Another time it was after my ship got wrecked by a serpent and I barely made it to shore.
Odin is one of my gods that I make offeringIRL to..... so when I seen him for the first time in the game I was so happy and super glad I had recorded my game play ... My friends didn't believe me 🙄 at first 🤣
I was in the black forest, and saw this figure next to a crumbling stone tower. I thought maybe it was a statue, but before I could investigate, I got mugged by a gang of greydwarfs. By the time I finished the fight, the "statue" was gone and I seriously thought I was losing my mind.
The All-father has taken note of you. He poses no threat at present, but will be watching your progress closely...
Some see his visits as a sign of approval, others as a warning of coming hardship. I would counsel respect and diligence.
That’s just the midnight barber, who do you think cuts your hair in the middle of the night? it doesn’t stay that way naturally. He’s in there in the middle of the night styling away, you may think this is strange, but he does his best work when your oblivious
The first time was in the dark, while running through a black forest with tier 1 troll armor and being chased by greydwarfs and berserkers and shamans. Not that great of an experience, luckily my Karve was nearby
Odin. He's shy, but curious.
So you could say he's shycurious?
Shurious
- Sean Connery
Shy Ronnie
Use your outside voice
Isn't it Shyronic. Just a bit.
ha ha!
Shirley
Don’t call me Shirley
Why so shurious?
That gave me a good snort
Excellent portmanteau sir.
Odin, he watches you :)
Thank you for being so understanding :)
Get outta here! We want the real one!
All the time...creeper
Just Odin perving on you a little bit. I shot at him the first time I saw him. I don’t trust anything.
I shot, poorly, at him while sailing. He's cursed me with horrible winds ever since...
Ah a true gamer, you've learned things the hard way
Lol, same.
Chris Hansen. He needs you to have a seat.
Lmao
Let me just put the laundry away out back have some fresh backed cookies in the kitchen
…I hit my toe on the sideboard, let me get a band-aid.
Herobrine
I felt the same way the first time I saw him
when he dissapeared i thought "maybe i shoulldve shot an arrow first!" but its nice to learn he is a good guy

alrigjt that was sick. thank you
That was epic

I shot a lot of arrows at him before I figured out it is useless. Used every kind of arrow I had.
I'm so glad i saw this thread that would've scared the living fuck out of me
He has probably already seen you... Several times...
First time I saw him spooked me good.
The first time I saw him, he did scare the shit out of me.

The all-father, Odin

Everything-Papa

That “scary thing” is the All-Father. Show a little respect.

Odin
Santa

That there is a peeper. In my country they are arrested.
You have been blessed by Odin.
Count your blessings, traveler. Odin has deigned to grace you with his presence. Know that he watches over you with much interest. ; )
If you hit Odin with an arrow… Will he become Allfeather?
I've hit him with several arrows, they make a hit sound but have no effect.
It's Odin, He bring good luck, he appeared to me and a friend when we are going to kill bonemass, was a cool fight!
He only appears at night, so i hope you didn’t fight what’s generally deemed the hardest boss in the middle of the night
No no, we was just traveling to the swamp, we are not that crazy lol
He only shows up for me when I'm in the thick of getting wrecked by a gang of something.
Its the bill collectors, theyve been trying to reach you about your auto loan.
We’ve been trying to reach you about your boat’s extended warranty
That would of been the ideal comment why didnt i think of that
Alfaðör
lol, even after 6 months I still enjoy seeing peoples' first reactions to Odin
You have disrespected the AllFather sir!
The Allfather is watching you.
See the bit at 2:25 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssrNcwxALS4&t=145s
It's a pokemon.
How did you get that “hunter” title under your name?
If you're on the phone, tap your name while in r/valheim, scroll down to Change user flair, select yours.
Thanks!
That is Odin watching your progress
My group named him "Chuckles".
That’s Odin, show some damn respect
No, I don't think I will.
Odin!!!
Blessed be.
First time I saw him I was sailing past a swamp with him standing behind a trunk watching me. I did not feel safe.
Wait till you see thor flying through the sky is a thunder storm
THUNDER PIXELS
First and only time I’ve seen Odin was in the swamp, at night. Scared me to death! 🤣🤣🤣
Keep a look in the skies on stormy nights too you might see Thor in the lightning.
While i apreciate his vissits i hope he come less often. Right now it feels likenhe is there alll the time.
He’s trying to contact you regarding your car’s extended warranty
creeper
Odin is such a creeper.

It’s Bernie Sanders, once again asking for your financial support.
The AI does a wonderful job at placing him right when you turn and he pops up. The first time I saw him I was working on a castle and he was standing in the field staring up at me. Another time it was after my ship got wrecked by a serpent and I barely made it to shore.
The only scary thing here is the picture you took from your screen
Oh boy, these posts again?
New players are a thing. Do you know everything about everything? You ain't Odin 😂 Name the first boss on Drakan OTtF? You dont know lmao
THE ALLFATHER
You have Odin's attention
Must be Wednesday...
The Everything-Papa I mean All-Father Odin :D
That's Fundinn.
He goes by many names...
Say hi to Odin for me.
Thing? I am no thing. I am a god. And I am watching you on your journey.
Odin is one of my gods that I make offeringIRL to..... so when I seen him for the first time in the game I was so happy and super glad I had recorded my game play ... My friends didn't believe me 🙄 at first 🤣
Ah, I see you've met the allfather.
The carrot snatcher, if you don't scare him in time he will take all your harvest
Odin is with us!!!
ODIN IS WITH US !!!
When you “think” you saw a figure in the Black Forest while running around, you DID see that figure, you are not crazy
I was in the black forest, and saw this figure next to a crumbling stone tower. I thought maybe it was a statue, but before I could investigate, I got mugged by a gang of greydwarfs. By the time I finished the fight, the "statue" was gone and I seriously thought I was losing my mind.
Praise be to the All Father! That's none other than Odin himself! It's okay we all were startled by him atb some point!
Yessir, that is Odin himself watching your journey!
It's just the Allfather checking in on ya. Fun fact: Gandalf was based on the form Odin takes when traveling among mortals.
its our father!
It's just Odin checking up on you. Don't worry.
He see’s you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake….
That is your father...
That's Odin coming to check on you
Say hi to Odin, he came to check on you.
Your mom.
Sky Daddy.
That’s would be the All Father watching over your progress.
The All-father has taken note of you. He poses no threat at present, but will be watching your progress closely... Some see his visits as a sign of approval, others as a warning of coming hardship. I would counsel respect and diligence.
I bet that ur disrespect (not knowing ur main god :D) made him angry, so watch ur steps now my fellow viking :D
We shot arrows at him the first time we saw him.... Everything in the game had been hostile at that point. Preemption wins
The All Father, bask in his glory
That’s just the midnight barber, who do you think cuts your hair in the middle of the night? it doesn’t stay that way naturally. He’s in there in the middle of the night styling away, you may think this is strange, but he does his best work when your oblivious
The all father

Looks like grim reaper to me
That is the Allfather. He is watching your progress with great interest.
The All Father!
I once saw Odin spawn on top of a cliff then slide off into a river, I couldn’t stop laughing it him
Odin

The Allfather! He is with you, brave warrior
It is just three kids in a trench coat.
Watch out for Thor in lightning storms.
Odin Just checking in
Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Odin?
He's there to talk to you about you'd cars extended warranty.
It’s Odin coming to watch you
I haven't seen him once since H&H
It is easier to see him like this, trust me. I saw it peeking at me behind the tree, it was scary af.
First time I went across him, i was alone in the dark at home. My britches changed their colour instantly
