Since releasing in early access in February 2021, Valheim is proving a hit for Steam with its combination of survival gameplay and Norse mythology. Similar to the early days of Minecraft, its the building mechanics some players have taken a keen liking to and set about constructing massive structures across the game's world. One such player shared what may be their crowning achievement by bringing one of JRR Tolkien's iconic locations to life in Valheim.

Valheim comes from Swedish developer Iron Gate Studio and publisher Coffee Stain Publishing. Players take the role of Vikings killed in battle and tasked with proving themselves worthy of entering Valhalla by facing threats within the realm of Valheim ranging from massive trolls to evil gods.

Valheim user PepsiDrinker shared their latest creation on his personal YouTube channel, paying tribute to Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings with a recreation of Helm's Deep. The fortress is built along the base of one of the game world's mountains to keep it as true to the original as possible. The long wall leads to the base of the heart of the fortress, known as the Hornburg, with the long rampway leading up to its gate and the tower which houses the Horn of Helm Hammerhand.

PepsiDrinker's creation was met positively online, with most YouTube comments praising their work. When asked about how they managed to build the tower, they said the mod Forever Build removed the game's height restrictions that would have kept it from building it otherwise. PepsiDrinker added on another response the Hornburg was the most difficult to build due to the half-circle design.

The creation echoes of the early days of Minecraft where players wildly experimented with the game's building mechanics. Many players spent days and, in some cases, weeks building massive structures inside dedicated servers to see how far and epic the game can go. Some included Enterprise from the original Star Trek TV series, King's Landing from Game of Thrones, and a NASA space shuttle ready for launch.

Lord of the Rings is one of the most commonly pulled from properties when it comes to builders within these games, as well. The scale of the locals make them the perfect eye-catching creations in many games, with most builders using Peter Jackson's films as references. The Gondor capital of Minas Tirith and Saruman's Tower of Orthanc in Isengard are just two examples of vista's created just in Minecraft. Other inventive Valheim players already managed to bring Middle-Earth to the Norse realm, with one building Bilbo Baggins' Hobbit hole.

Valheim is in early access and available to download on PC via Steam.
