Encumbered is an effect in Valheim.
General information[]
The Encumbered effect is applied when a player character is carrying more weight than their maximum capacity. This capacity can be increased by wearing a Megingjord.
Once an encumbered player's stamina reaches 0 they will not regenerate stamina until they are unencumbered again.
Encumbered players can not jump and as such will have difficulty with climbing any steep slopes.
The effect will end immediately once the excess weight is removed.
