¶ Viking Stronghold
Dungeon 1 · Released June 2026 · Easy difficulty
The Viking Stronghold is HavenCraft's first dungeon and the start of the progression path. It is built for fresh players who arrive with nothing: the frozen halls are packed with viking raiders, and its dungeon chests and four bosses carry the starter armor, weapons, bows, arrows, lapis, and low-level enchant tomes you need to walk out stronger than you walked in.
Deeper inside, the Order of Odin holds its rituals, and four bosses stand between you and the stronghold's greatest treasures.
