Ive seen Trolls kill themselves by knocking down a tree from one of their swings and it fell on them.

Also death by overshooting a jump while building in Valheim.

I’m more of a “forgot to eat and fell off the roof” kinda guy.

Started a fresh run for 1.0, about to finish Ashlands.

Saw that there was a steam achievement for getting killed by tree. So far I managed to avoid that, I'll try to get to the end without it happening :D

(got a few close calls in Ashlands, lava blobs making huge trees fall almost got me)
