I'm not some grandpa that's playing a video game for the first time in his life, give me tips and tricks that apply specifically to Valheim.### Assistant: Sure! I will tell you some tricks that you can apply to your combat.
Comat Tips:

- To parry, equip a small shield and hit the block button just before an enemy hits a physical attack. This not only allows you to block more powerful attacks (far beyond tower shields), but staggers the enemy and allows you to deal double damage while the enemy recoils. This oddly works on ranged attacks as well.

- If parrying doesn't work because your shield is too weak or you're using a 2-handed weapon, roll instead (block + jump buttons). The roll has so-called "I-frames" during which you cannot be hit, with a timing window similar to the parry.

- Sneak attacks with the bow are easy to accomplish and will allow you to fight more efficiently, both time and munition-wise. If you're over-powered compared to enemies you're facing a melee weapon is even more efficient, however.

- Use the middle mouse button for special attacks, which differ per weapons category.

- Putting away your weapons with the R key also removes their movement speed penalty.

I hope this would help you in your Playthrough!### Human: While that is good for combat, can you please expand on the other aspects of the game, like construction and crafting
