Aska Villager Guide | How to Grow Your Population

In our Aska Villager Guide, we'll tell you how to summon villagers, how to keep villagers alive, and how villager Perks work.

Villagers are critical to your success in Aska; they can help with building, farming, and even crafting items. You'll have to take care of villagers just as they take care of you and each other — in this guide, we'll tell you what you need to know about keeping your villagers happy (and alive!).

How to Summon Villagers

You can summon villagers in Aska by building The Eye of Odin, placing 5 Jotun Blood inside of it, and activating The Eye of Odin. You must then choose between two villagers. Each villager will reveal 2 of their 5 random Perks.

Once you've made a decision, a 10-minute countdown will elapse while the Villager is summoned in. The Eye of Odin will be empty after the villager is summoned and it must be filled again to summon another villager.

Keep in mind that Villagers will need food, water, and shelter (among other things). Don't bring in too many villagers too quickly or you might find your Settlement running out of food and water!

How to Meet Your Villagers' Needs

All villagers have six core needs that you'll have to meet to keep them happy and alive. Here are those needs and what you need to do to keep them fulfilled.

• Housing: Your villager needs somewhere to sleep and live. Provide them with a Shelter or a bed in a Cottage or Longhouse. Homeless villagers will lose Morale quickly.
• Health: This is a measure of your villager's HP. If it goes to 0, they die, and you cannot revive that villager. Health will go down if Food, Water, or Warmth reach 0 or if a Villager is injured by an enemy.
• Food: As you might expect, you'll need to provide food to your villagers to keep them alive. You can forage some food yourself and place it in storage, trade it to your villagers, or drop it on the ground. Larger villagers will require multiple villagers gathering and farming food.
• Water: Water can be provided by Rain Collectors and Water Wells. You can also store Water in a Warehouse to address any imbalances in your water supply.
• Rest: Villagers need to sleep; make sure to adjust their schedules so that they have enough time to get the rest they need.
• Warmth: The cold of Winter will decrease the Warmth stat, and reaching 0 Warmth can cause a villager to freeze to death. You should provide at least one Campfire and keep it lit throughout the entire Winter season.
• Morale: This is a measure of overall villager happiness. You can keep Morale high by providing enough leisure time and meeting all of your villagers' other needs, including housing.

How Villager Perks Work

Villager Perks are a set of five random permanent buffs or debuffs that apply to a villager. You can see two of the five Perks when you are choosing between two villagers to summon via The Eye of Odin; the other three Perks are secret until the Villager actually arrives.

Some Perks have positive effects, some Perks have negative effects, and some Perks have both positive and negative effects. Typically, Perks will give villagers advantages or disadvantages with certain jobs, so make sure to assign your villagers to work that takes advantage of their Perks while avoiding any potential downsides.
