Beginner Guide

Trollheim: Gnomes Beginner Guide

A strong opening in the Dark Forest follows a simple loop: establish a foothold, gather materials, explore in short trips, and grow your shelter into a real home base.

1

Establish an Initial Foothold

Pick a practical area for a first shelter — somewhere with room to organize materials, craft the basics, and return safely after short trips.

  • Choose a defensible, easy-to-reach spot
  • Build a basic shelter and storage area
  • Stay close to accessible resources
2

Gather Nearby Resources

Collect the materials you need for early crafting and building before pushing deeper. Blueberries and twigs keep you fed and crafting from the first hour.

  • Collect common materials near the start
  • Separate building supplies from food
  • Return regularly to store what you gather
3

Explore in Short, Planned Trips

Expand outward gradually with familiar paths and a clear route back. Treat new areas as scouting destinations before committing to them.

  • Map your surroundings before going farther
  • Never overextend past a reliable return route
  • Explore as a group whenever you can
4

Grow the Shelter Into a Home Base

Use your first materials to upgrade essential functions and organize responsibilities — a shared base makes gathering, crafting, and building click as a team.

  • Upgrade essential shelter functions first
  • Assign clear roles on group expeditions
  • Keep shared resources organized for everyone
Multiplayer

Trollheim: Gnomes Co-op Multiplayer Guide

Trollheim: Gnomes is designed around cooperative survival for up to 8 players. Clear roles and one shared plan turn a group of gnomes into an efficient expedition.

Team Setup

Create a Shared Starting Plan

Agree on a base location, a short opening route, and the materials the group needs first — before anyone wanders off into the trees.

Resource Roles

Divide Gathering and Building

Split the work: builders, gatherers, scouts, and organizers. Rotate roles as the group's needs change through Early Access and beyond.

Exploration

Travel Together in Unknown Areas

Use group expeditions for unfamiliar ground, keep a clear route back to the shared shelter, and decide together when to push on or head home.

Shared Progress

Build One Cooperative Home Base

A central base stores everything, hosts expedition planning, and anchors every construction project toward shared priorities.

Crafting & Building

Trollheim: Gnomes Crafting & Building Guide

Crafting and building anchor the survival loop in Trollheim: Gnomes. Follow a practical path from raw gathering to larger cooperative construction projects.

Exploration Guide

Trollheim: Gnomes Dark Forest Exploration Guide

The Dark Forest is a living environment, not a combat arena. Read the terrain, respect its larger inhabitants, and explore through a Nordic folklore lens.

Route Planning

Establish a Safe Starting Route

Identify recognizable terrain, nearby resources, and clear return paths before venturing deeper into the woods.

  • Mark important paths and resource spots as you move
  • Never enter unfamiliar areas without a way back
  • Connect explored spaces into a repeatable travel route
Environment Awareness

Read the Forest Before Crossing It

Changes in visibility, sound, vegetation, and scale are all information. A small gnome wins through patient observation.

  • Pause at new clearings and scan before gathering
  • Look for signs of nearby creatures or activity
  • Keep an open retreat path at all times
Worldbuilding

Explore With Nordic Folklore in Mind

Trolls and other Väsen belong to the forest's living story — encounters can mean coexistence and curiosity, not just combat.

  • Don't assume every large creature is an enemy
  • Treat unusual encounters as part of the world's ecology
  • Use the gnome-versus-giant scale to guide your choices
Creatures & Encounters

Trollheim: Gnomes Creatures & Trolls Guide

Trollheim's forests are shared with trolls, faeries, sirens, and other Väsen drawn from Nordic folklore. Learn who's who before you meet them in the wild.

Playable PerspectiveSmall Forest Folk

Sprýg Gnomes

You play as a tiny gnome, experiencing the wilderness at a much smaller scale — which shapes every exploration, survival, and building decision.

Use the gnome's-eye view to evaluate terrain, shelter, and encounters before choosing whether to approach, avoid, or carry on.

Large-Scale EncountersThe Väsen

Trolls & Giant Creatures

Trolls are neighbors in this world rather than simple targets — part of a folklore-inspired community with their own territory and temperament.

Read proximity, movement, and territory as encounter signals, and think twice before treating a giant as a standard enemy.

Friendly & MysticalFolklore Encounters

Faeries & Sirens

Some Väsen can be soothed, traded with, or even recruited. The forest rewards gnomes who take time to learn its customs.

Observe behavior before acting — some encounters open the door to non-combat solutions and rare rewards.
