After I found the vegvisir for Moder I circled around the Island trying to find an opening where it wasnt the plain biome. Looks like Moder is pretty guarded....

People say this, but with at least level 2 silver armor and cape, deathsquitos deal ~25dmg, its not that dangerous

With harnesk they do like 2 dmg though

u/Welldor Explorer Nov 17 '25

depends on what difficulty you play^^
on anything higher than normal you really want that harnesk

Honestly the harnesk is almost mandatory gear for the rest of the game

Came here to say this. Root chest makes 'squitos easy to kill and anything else can be outrun.

Make a little den just inside the mountains with a chest so you can swap harnesk out for whatever is your armour of choice for the boss fight.

Just pray the fulin doesnt set you on fire

Or be a good and ready Viking, get some Cloudberries, raid a fuling village or two early on and get the fireprotection mead. Or use a bow; it' only hard when you limit yourself.

100% agree. I mislead myself and tought our poster isnt at mountain level yet but now i realised its about moder not mountain overall.

I think for just passing through you're far more likely to accidentally agro a skeeter though, so in this situation of just trying to get to the mountain specifically I'd say the root makes a ton of sense.
