Although you might prefer to stick to the first server you enter, it is very useful to know this from the beginning: you can take your character to whichever Valheim world you want, without losing stats or items.

You should definitely use this to your advantage while gathering resources later on. Can’t find any stones around your base? Or maybe there’s a shortage of deer? Then go back to the main menu, and enter another world that does have a lot of these resources.



This may not come as a surprise to those familiar with the survival genre, but the first thing you need to do after spawning in the world of Valheim is gather wood and stones. See the smaller trees? Simply punch them with your bare hands until they break into wooden logs.

Stones, on the other hand, need to be picked up. You can only get the small ones, so keep an eye out for them while walking through the woods.

While gathering these resources, it won’t be long until you encounter your first enemies; the Greylings. Don’t worry too much about them though, the Greylings are pretty weak and a few punches will kill them.


You can open your Inventory and the Crafting menu with Tab. The first tool you need is the stone axe: use 5 pieces of wood and 4 stones to make it. This will help you chop down trees much faster. That’s a good thing, because we’re going to need lots of wood to build our first Valheim base.

Next, use 3 wood and 2 stones to craft a hammer. Equip this tool to start building your base. Right-clicking opens up the menu with different building materials, left-clicking places a material, and the middle mouse button allows you to dismantle any piece at no cost.

4) How to craft a Valheim workbench and create a building area

Once you have your basic tools, the next thing you need is a Valheim workbench. This will unlock many new crafting options, and creates an area for you to build on. Equip the hammer, and then go to the ‘crafting’ tab to find the recipe for the workbench. It requires 10 wood.

After you place the bench, you will see a large, white circle surrounding it. This is your building area. If you want to build somewhere else, either place a second workbench or simply dismantle it and place it again.

But don’t think you’re done just yet! Before you can actually use your workbench, it needs to be protected by a base. Placing a simple wall and a piece of roof will suffice, but you can just as well start on a proper Viking home.

As the forest ground is quite uneven, most buildings in Valheim require a foundation. Use the poles and beams to support your floors and walls. Keep in mind that this base will often be under attack after defeating the first boss, so do make sure it’s sturdy. You should place your valuable loot inside.

Now that the Valheim base is finished, it’s time to place a bed. This is not just useful for skipping the night; it’s also your custom Valheim respawn point. You can find the building recipe by equipping the hammer and then clicking the ‘furniture’ tab.

There’s just one problem though: you need a campfire close to your bed, but the bed is inside your wooden base and the campfire can’t be placed on wood. The solution? Place the campfire next to your bed, but outside your base. It doesn’t matter if there’s a wall between them!

Your character is probably hungry by now. Luckily, the raspberry bushes, mushrooms, and animals in Valheim are not that hard to find. There is just one tricky thing that you should know about; you can’t eat the same food type twice in a row.

Apparently Vikings care about a varied diet, so you can eat 1 raspberry and 1 mushroom at the same time, but not 2 raspberries. You will have to wait until the food icon in the lower left corner of the screen starts flickering or has disappeared. This means you can eat the food again.

If you want to advance in Valheim, you need to defeat the bosses. The first boss, Eikthyr, is located near your default spawn point. After finding his location, you must offer a deer trophy to summon him.

It is not wise to battle Eikthyr right away. Make sure you have decent weapons first, such as an upgraded bow or flint knife. You should also equip leather armor. Killing boar and deer will get you the required materials. Finally, make sure you’re fully fed, healed, and rested. After you defeat Eikthyr, you can bring his trophy to the default spawn point to get better stats.

Here are a few final things you should keep in mind when you start your Valheim adventure:

• Falling trees can kill you. As soon as you notice that a tree is going to fall, step away.
  
• A quick way to gather lots of wood in Valheim is by placing a workbench next to an abandoned building and dismantling the foundations. You will get a big stack by just a few clicks.
  
• Always repair your items before you leave your base. If you click on the workbench, you can repair your items for free (no additional resources required).
  
• Using roll-dodge will help you win many difficult battles.Just hold right mouse button to block and when you hit space you do a dodge roll.
  
• Skills are upgraded by simply using the ability (running, swimming etc.), but can be diminished by dying.
  
• Boars don’t run away, but deer do. So start by hunting boar for leather scraps with a melee weapon; then use them to make a bow and start hunting deer for their leather.
  
• Those aren’t arrows flying at you, it’s just the wind.

And that’s all. You’re as ready for the Viking world of Valheim as you’ll ever be.

• Viking Graveyard - Rock formation in the shape of a Viking ship
  
• Rune Stone - big rock with red runes written on one side of it, which contains Lore.
  
• Stonehenge- a place surrounded by five or so boulders.
  
• Abandoned house - ruined structure made of wood. Sometime containing a random chest with loot.
  
• Glade - little area with dirt covered ground and a stump in a middle surrounded by trees.
  
• Abandoned outpost - ruined tower made of stone. Often got some Draugrs outside and inside, and crows flying around. Usually contains a chest with loot.
  
• Little ruins - a ruins of stone house with a chest of loot inside protected by Draugrs.
  
• Tower - a structure of stone with two torches and a chest with loot on top.
  
• Tomb - a tomb-like structure with entrance to dungeon-instance. Often surrounded by Draugrs. Dungeon-instance also contains a lot of Draugrs and chests with loot.
  
• Camp ruins - small circular area surrounded by walls with some clutter and a chest with loot inside. It is also a place of Forest Troll spawn.
  
• Crypt - Brick structures found in the Swamp with green torches in the front. Require a Swamp Key to open.

You can build using a Hammer within the working area of a workbench.

Press [1-7] to use the hammer in the hotbar slot.
Press [F] to switch category
Press [Q/E] to switch item
Press [LMB] to place
Press [Middle Mouse Button] to remove
Scroll the mouse to rotate the item
There are various crafting stations required to be nearby to you to place certain items such as:

The Workbench, required to place most building items you have unlocked from the beginning or early on, and some late items.

The Forge, required to place most building parts containing metals.

The Stone cutter, required to place building parts created out of stone, such as the stone walls some abandoned buildings are made out of.

The Artisan Table, required to build some crafting stations that as of Patch 0.142.6, are at the end of implemented progression.

The building parts such as wall, roof, floor, beam, and pole can snap to each other on the same height.

However, you can't make a perfect alignment to natural spawn buildings. It may appear crooked.

If wooden building parts are not covered during rain or connected to a roof or are submerged in water they will decay down to a maximum of 50% durability, changing appearance to look rotted until repaired. The stake wall does not decay when exposed to rain but the wooden gate does.

Uncovered wooden parts in The Plains will not decay as there is no raining in that biome. (it is possible this may be inaccurate)

Building parts can be damaged by player, monster, and creature attacks. Wooden spikes will also take small amounts of damage while dealing damage to entities that touch them.

Hostile monsters are attracted to and aggressive to all light sources and crafting stations and will attempt to break them if not attempting to attack a player.

Over time ANY wooden structure or craft station WILL degrade to 50% health if placed in water.

You can repair building parts that seem to be decaying or damaged with a Hammer. This does not cost any resources, but does consume stamina, and needs a Workbench to be placed within range of the building part.

These structures are a type of POI that can be found in the naturally occurring in the world. The size, layout, and materials these structures are made of can vary greatly as each is generated from random templates.

There are different types of abandoned structures such as Abandoned Cabins, Abandoned Towers, Abandoned Farms just to name a few.

These abandoned and generated structures can contain things such as chests with items specific to the biome, monsters (usually Skeletons), and monster spawners, and Vegvisirs to mark the nearest boss altar for that biome.

In the meadows biome they can also contain naturally spawning Beehives, which will drop a Queen Bee and sometimes Honey when destroyed.

Being a survival game at its core you always have to make sure your character is always well rested to face the world in Valheim. The best way to do this is to increase your comfort level. Many players find difficulty in doing this when they venture outside their base or even when they are in other biomes. Being comfortable and well-rested even gives you “Rested Buff“. So let’s look at how to increase the comfort level in Valheim.
The Rested buff allows you to regain health 50% faster and regain stamina 100% faster for a while. Your Comfort level increases your buff duration, helping you to return to full health and stamina quickly. You can increase your comfort level by having a well spacious house with furniture and a ventilated indoor campfire.

Increase your Valheim Comfort level by building a spacious Shelter filled with comfortable furniture, rugs, banners, a brazier, and a well-ventilated campfire. Items can provide comfort in a radius of 4-6 times around them. So keep the items together around the campfire to maximize your comfort level.
To get maximum comfort level you need to keep your banners, braziers, chairs, Deer Rugs, Dragonbed, Lox Rug, Raventhrone, and Wolf Rug with a radius of 4-6 tiles around your campfire. You can refer to the below cells to understand how much extra comfort bonus they will provide once you are in the vicinity.











Note that Deer, Lox, and Wolf rugs can be stacked together. So you can take all three rugs and stack them together up to 5 of each around the campfire. This will give you an additional conform bonus.

Description
Eikthyr is the first boss of Valheim. He is a large stag, wrapped with chains and with electrified antlers.

Attacks
Eikthyr has three different attacks:

A forward striking, ranged Lightning Attack.
A large AoE lightning attack.
A melee lunging attack with his antlers.

Location
At spawn, left of Eikthyr's Sacrificial Stone, is a small glowing rock. Interacting with this rock presents a new icon on the map indicating the location of the nearest one of Eikthyr's summoning altars.

Multiple altars can be found in the Meadows biome.

Techniques
Eikthyr can be easily defeated with a starting Wood shield and Flint spear. His attacks are easily blocked, and poking him with the spear in between attacks allows the player to whittle him down in under three minutes. Alternatively, he can be kited relatively easily with a Crude bow and wooden or flint arrows.

Eating a good meal of three different foods (e.g. 1 cooked meat, 1 grilled neck tail, and 1 raspberry or mushroom) is recommended, for maximum health and stamina. It is also recommended to gain the Rested Effect by sleeping in a bed the night before summoning Eikthyr

Forsaken Power
Upon Killing Eikthyr, his trophy will be dropped. Bringing this trophy to spawn will allow you to mount it on the hook hanging from his respective stone. (You must activate the hook, not the stone it is hanging on.) This enables the player to activate Eikthyr’s forsaken power by pressing F. While the power is activated, the player will have 50% less stamina drain when running and jumping for 5 minutes. This ability has a 20 minute cool down period.

Drops

Eikthyr trophy,Hard antler ×3



Description
The Elder is the second boss of Valheim. It is a large bipedal creature that takes on the appearance of a large tree.

Summoning
The Elder can be summoned by obtaining three Ancient seed and burning them at sacrificial altar in the Black Forest. The altar is the quadratic stone monument with the fire bowl in the middle, it has a rune stone also, that reads: "Burn their young".

Attacks
The Elder has three attacks:

• Close range stomp
  
• Ranged vine attack in a straight line directed at a target player if no player is in close range
  
• Occasionally, The Elder will raise an arm to the air to summon Roots in a large area. These Roots will persist for some time and deal damage if the player gets close. Roots can be attacked and destroyed.
  

Location
The Elder's summoning spot is found in the Black Forest. His location can be found when visiting Burial Chambers, where a Rune Stone will reveal its exact summoning location on the map.

Drops

• Swamp Key
  
• Elder Trophy

Forsaken Power
Upon killing The Elder, you can return to the spawn. Mounting The Elder’s trophy upon his respective stone will allow you to claim his Forsaken Power. Activated with F, this ability will allow you to chop down trees faster.

Trivia
The Elder is the second boss of the game.
The altar provides a few hints on what items are used to summon him. First, the altar reads "Burn their young" referring to Ancient seed. In addition, the top of the columns are topped by statues that look similar to Ancient Seeds in shape.
It is recommended to bring a stack of health potion to the battle. It is recommended that you have at least 100 HP before you fight the Elder.
Because of the Elder's location in the Black Forest, additional enemies such as Trolls or Greydwarves may join the battle and increase the difficulty significantly.
The Elder does not despawn if players run away or all die, and will continue to chase players across considerable distances.


Bonemass is one of the bosses found in Valheim.

Summoned using 10 Withered Bones at the skull altar in the swamp.
Strategy
Bonemass is weak to Blunt damage.

It is HIGHLY recommended to use iron maces or other forms of melee blunt damage.

A list of effective weapons, from most to least:

• Iron Mace
  
• Iron Sledge
  
• Bronze Mace
  
• Wooden club (yes, seriously)
  
• Stagbreaker

Do not use bow and arrow besides to standstill its health regen- it is extremely ineffective. One fully upgraded wooden club would out-dps a Huntsman bow with ironhead arrows.

If you can make it to mountain biomes with an iron pick, mine obsidian to make frost arrows. Frost arrows make it very easy to take this boss down from a distance!

USE POISON RESISTENCE MEAD!!!

This boss is next to impossible without making poison resistance meads. It is recommended to bring MANY- without an iron mace, one will not be enough. Everyone should have 4-5 in case of deaths.

Stagbreaker is great for dealing with the ADS skeleton + slimes when they are bunched up. If you have multiple people, have the guy taking aggro focus on dodging swipes with rolls. Lay into him with blunt damage while he's doing all attacks until he uses the poison AOE. You may walk through the poison, just don't stay in it. If you are low health avoid being poisoned so you can regenerate health.

Building a structure, out of his reach, on top of a Sunken Crypt is useful to take the aggro away from the player.
Drops
Bonemass drops a Wishbone, which is used to find treasure and Silver ore.

Bonemass also drops his trophy, Bonemass Trophy.



Description
She is a large Wyvern with black scales, white hair and patagium.

Summoning
Moder is summoned by obtaining three Dragon eggs and placing them at the sacrificial altar in a seed-determined specific Mountain biome.

The altar is made of stone and is circular. Within the structure is an executioner's block. Behind which are three offering bowls to place in the required Eggs.

The entire structure glows red and is adorned with black runes around the edge. It depicts two Wyverns flying atop a mountain, as well as four humanoid figures carrying three assumed sacrificial victims. (See Gallery)

Attacks & Abilities
Moder has the ability to fly but will also choose to land, alternating between the two.

When airborne she will fire projectiles that turn into crystalline formations upon impact that will later explode.

While grounded, she will perform a swipe attack with either claw or choose to let forth her blizzard like breath. She may sometimes roar, which opens her up to be attacked.

Either of her cold attacks will slow your animation speed significantly for 15 seconds, making you vulnerable to further attacks.

Trivia

• Moder's granted forsaken ability is "Always tailwind while sailing".
  
• Despite needing dragon eggs to summon her, Moder is, in fact, a Wyvern.
  
• Because the Eggs themselves weigh 200, it would take several people, or trips, in order to fulfil the requirement.
  
• "Moder" translates to "Mother" in Swedish.

Description
He is a large Skeleton with only the upper half as his body.

Summoning
Yagluth is summoned by obtaining five fuling totem's and placing them at the sacrificial altar in a seed-determined specific Plains biome. There are stones which give the location of the altar.
The alter can be found within four giant stone pillars. Within the pillars is a small altar that has five small circle's for wich you can place the totems in.

There is a red tablet in front of the alter that can be used once the totems are placed to complete the sacrifice, once done the boss will be summoned.

The Pickaxe is one of your core tools in Valheim, but unlike the other core tools you're unable to craft it with just the basic materials you can find by scavenging around the starting Meadows biome. The first Pickaxe you can create is the Antler Pickaxe, and to make it you need a Hard Antler.

The only way you can obtain a Hard Antler in Valheim is by defeating the first boss, Eikthyr. This giant deer is a formidable foe, so you'll want to spend some time gathering the best possible starting gear, weaponry, and food, before attempting to defeat it. But once it's dead, it'll drop three Hard Antlers that you can use to craft the Antler Pickaxe at a Workbench.

The Antler Pickaxe is tough enough for you to mine Copper and Tin, but it's far from the best Pickaxe available in Valheim. Here's what you have to do to craft the higher tiers of Pickaxe:

• Gather 3x Core Wood from Pine Trees in the Black Forest.
  
• Gather 5x Surtling Cores from chests or Surtlings in Swamp biomes, and craft a Smelter.
  
• Mine and Smelt 6x Copper to craft a Forge.
  
• Mine and Smelt 10x Bronze out of 20x Copper and 10x Tin, and craft a Bronze Pickaxe out of the Bronze and Core Wood.

• Craft a Bronze Axe and chop down 25x Fine Wood to craft a Forge Cooler and upgrade your Forge to Level 2.
  
• Use the Bronze Pickaxe to mine Muddy Scrap Piles for Scrap Iron.
  
• Smelt enough Scrap Iron for 20x Iron, and craft an Iron Pickaxe out of the Iron and 3x Core Wood.

Much like the jump from a Stone Axe to a Flint Axe, the Iron Pickaxe can't mine anything the Bronze Pickaxe can't mine, but it simply mines everything faster and has greater durability.

So why is the Pickaxe so useful a tool in Valheim? Well, it's the only thing that allows you to mine the various naturally-occurring ores found across the map, including Copper, Tin, and Iron. Without access to these materials you can only progress so far in Valheim.

But you can also use the Pickaxe to break down those pesky rocks and pebbles encroaching on the otherwise flat terrain around your base. And what's more, you can use the Pickaxe to dig out chunks of ground, which is useful for levelling stubborn and hilly areas of terrain, or for digging inside stone circle areas to find the treasure buried beneath!

Getting Copper in Valheim is a pretty straightforward process as long as you've beaten the first boss. You'll have to travel to the Black Forest; simply head away from the starting zone until you notice the name of the zone change on the map.

The Black Forest is a much more challenging region. The Greydwarfs are tougher than the enemies you've been fighting and the outside of Burial Chambers are protected by even tougher Skeletons. It is a good idea to build a small base near the Black Forest so you can make it back to where you died a lot faster.

Thankfully, Copper in Valheim is very easy to find — it will be part of a massive green rock that's covered in moss. The rock also has a few veins on it. Hover your mouse over it — if it says "Copper Deposit," you're good to start mining!

One final note on Copper and ores — they're very heavy. You will only be able to carry back 20 or so pieces of Copper on you at a time, so take it back to your main base little by little to store it away for later.
Getting Copper will let you make a handful of useful items — you're also going to need to find Tin. Tin can be combined with Copper to make Bronze, and that's where you're going to have your first real set of metal tools and armor.

Tin can be found near water in the Black Forest; look around for silver-colored rocks. As with Copper, remember that you can only carry 20 or so Tin Ore at once before you become overencumbered!

Getting Bronze requires you to smelt Copper and Tin and then combine them in a Forge. You don't have a Forge yet, though — so you're going to have to craft one!


The Valheim smelting system is pretty similar to how it works in most other games — you'll have to put ore into a Smelter to get bars, and then you use those bars to make items. Here's the entire process from start to finish:

• Get a Pickaxe.
  
• Mine Ore.
  
• Gather some Wood.
  
• Put Wood in your Charcoal Kiln to make Coal.
  
• Put Coal and Ore into your Smelter to make Bars.
  
• Use the Bars at a Forge to make metal items.

Sounds simple enough, right? Well, there's a little more to it than just that. To start, you're going to need 10 Copper bars to build a Forge. You'll probably need a lot of Copper and Tin, actually, so it's not a bad idea to get as much of both Ores as you reasonably can.

The more challenging part, however, is building the Charcoal Kiln and Forge. These require 5 "Surtling Core" items apiece — and the only way to get them is to dive into a deadly dungeon.
The Surtling Core is an important item in Valheim for the next evolution of building. Finding it will be a challenging experience — you're going to be fighting some very tough enemies.

You should have the following before you head out:

• A full set of Leather Armor
  
• As much HP as you can get from food
  
• A sturdy melee weapon
  
• A Crude Bow and 50–100 Arrows
  
• A Torch

Head back into the Black Forest and run around until you encounter Skeletons. Skeletons are a good sign that you're probably near a Burial Chamber; you can enter this underground structure by looking for a doorway that heads into the ground. Enter the doorway and be prepared for a close-quarters fight.

Surtling Cores can be found in one specific room inside the Burial Chamber. The safest and smartest thing to do is to defeat all of the Skeletons one at a time and destroy any Skeleton spawners you may find. You may encounter Ghosts, too — regardless, you want to clear the entire place of enemies before you try to loot anything. You really don't want to be trapped in a tiny room because you got ambushed.

You will need 10 Surtling Cores in total to start making metal items — 5 for the Charcoal Kiln and 5 for the Smelter. Surtling Cores are used for a lot of items, though, so you're probably going to want to find more later. Burial Chambers also have a fair amount of treasure in them, too!


Now that you've built a Charcoal Kiln, Smelter, and Forge, you're going to want to pick your first metal item to make. You probably won't have enough metal to make everything you want at first (unless you've done a lot of mining) — what should you pick?

The first metal item you make should be the Bronze Axe — no question about it. The reasoning here is simple: the Bronze Axe can be used to chop down Birch Trees and that opens up a lot of new crafting and building recipes. Best of all, it doubles as a weapon.

Chances are, if you've been following our guides on the Viking survival crafting sim, Valheim, you've been seeing item descriptions and online discussions about teleportation and portals. Considering just how dangerous and large this game's map can get, you wanna know how to make one of these for yourself to cut down on trips. Look no further, this is the guide for you.

First, you'll need to collect the following items:

• 2 Surtling Cores. These can be found in Burial Ground dungeons. Watch out and be ready for a fight, they're usually crawling with skeletons.
  
• 20 Greydwarf Eyes. These are dropped (naturally) by Greydwarves. They frequently pop up in the Black Forest. Be careful, they fight in groups.
  
• Some Fine Wood. Only certain trees drop Fine Wood, and they can only be cut down by bronze tools. If you need help on how to craft these tools, please consult our Smelting Guide.

Once you've assembled all of these items you should be able to build a portal. Once you build the portal, you'll have to tag it with a simple word. Once you do that, make a second portal in a different location and tag it with the exact same word. This will link the portals.

Keep in mind that these tag words are case sensitive. If you tag one portal with the word “Cave” and the other with the word “cave” they will not be linked. Keep in mind spacing, capitalization, and character placement. Only two portal can be linked together.

Furthermore, portals cannot be built in certain areas or instances. You can't build them in troll caves or burial grounds for example, and anything that is warded with ancient runes appears to be off-limits as well.


Otherwise, there appears to be no maximum distance on how far these portals can connect. If you really wanted to, you could set up a connection across the map, through biomes, and right into your fortress. If you put in the effort, a portal network can make travel a breeze.

Being a Viking is Alright to Be
Valheim is a game that's all about Vikings and, as such, you're able to sail the high seas. While a Longboat is a later option, the Valheim Raft will be the first vessel you can build — but driving it isn't so easy.

You'll have to build your Valheim Raft before you actually set sail! Thankfully, it's a pretty easy project. (Actually using the raft is another matter, but we'll get to that a bit later.)

Here's how to build a Raft in Valheim:

1.Craft a Hammer.
2.Build a Workbench near some water.
3.Collect the following items:

• 20 Wood
  
• 6 Leather Scraps (from killing Boars)
  
• 6 Resin (from killing Greylings)

4.Stand near the water, select your hammer, and build your Raft! It will plop down into the water.
Building a Raft is relatively easy compared to some of the things in the game. It makes sense, too — you might need to cross a lake or ocean to get to the game's first boss. Getting this thing moving, however, is another thing entirely.
Using the Valheim Raft doesn't seem intuitive at first, but it will all make sense once you understand the underlying concepts. To start, you can move the Raft forwards or backward using W and S. You can also turn the rudder left or right using A or D. This is all represented on the HUD as shown above.
The problem, however, is that the Raft is largely powered by the wind. If the wind is blowing in the direction you want to move, you're going to be going nowhere fast.
In the above image, you can see the wind direction is going to the left. The Raft obviously isn't facing that way, so the best-case scenario is that it will move very, very slowly. In many cases, however, it won't move at all!

When you're at 33% forward (1 arrow up) and in reverse (1 arrow down) speed, you'll be using the rudder to propel your raft. You may not be able to move forward very fast (or at all) if you're pushing into the wind. At 66% forward power and 100% forward power, you'll deploy the sails and the wind will push you forward.


You can still get stuck in some spots, though. What do you do? The same thing you'd do if your car stopped moving on the road: get out and push.
If your Raft isn't moving, dive into the water and swim towards the Raft to push it so that the wind will properly push the Raft. If you beach the Raft on the land, you might also need to push it out into the water and turn it around before you can get sailing again.
Unfortunately, it will take several hours of gameplay before you can unlock a better boat. For now, you at least know how to use the Raft in Valheim!

Taming wild animals, specifically boars, wolves, and lox in Valheim is one of the more interesting things that you can do in the game. Valheim lets you tame, and even breed wolves,lox and boars for your own interests. The piggies are a good source of food and leather, while the wolves can become pelts, but the way cooler option is to have them fight by your side. However, as everything else in the game, you have to put in some serious work to get your pets. To help you out, here’s our Valheim Taming Boars, Wolves, Lox guide.

To tame boars in Valheim, you have to build a pen, attract them into it, close them in, and provide food from then on. There are several ways to do this. You can build a pen from Roundpole Fences, and then leave a hole or build a door. Then, you have to lure the boar in, either with food or by provoking them into attack and then let them chase you into the enclosure. If you’re feeling especially adventurous, you can literally build the fence around you and the boar while dodging its attacks.

Once you have them in the enclosure, that’s when the Valheim boar taming actually begins. You have to feed your piggies blueberries, raspberries, regular mushrooms and/or carrots regularly. You don’t have to do it daily, but don’t let them starve for too long, either. All you have to do is throw the food on the ground in the enclosure and step away for the boar to start eating. Different foods have different rates of taming, with carrots doing the most. Also, don’t go too far off, or the taming will go dormant.

After you’ve tamed a boar, you can then pet it, which is nice. More importantly, if you tame more than one boar and then put them in the same enclosure, they will breed after you feed them carrots. You do have to have a big enough pig pen, though; they stop breeding after there’s too many of them. I recommend keeping the boars in separate, small enclosures while taming them, however. You can later build a bigger space and just push them inside once they’re tame; just get into a block stance to do so.

To tame wolves in Valheim, you essentially need to follow the same blueprint as with the boars. However, there are some changes that you’ll have to implement in order to account for the fact that wolves can mess you up bad in seconds. First thing’s first, you have to go where they spawn, which is in the freezing Mountain biome. So, make sure to have an anti-frost potion handy, or build a path of campfires.

Next up, build a pen out of Stakewalls; regular fences are not gonna hold a wolf for long, if at all. Once that’s done, you can use raw meat to lure a wolf into the enclosure, or you can use yourself as bait. If you choose to do the latter, you madlad, make sure to have at least a bronze shield, like the buckler, to defend yourself. When the wolf comes into the pen, quickly slam the last bit of wall down.

With the wolf trapped, make sure to feed it raw meat regularly. Also, repair the walls of the enclosure, because the beast will start thrashing around as soon as you come near. And, yes, after you throw the meat inside, make sure to walk away so it isn’t scared. You might have to build a platform to throw the meat from.

Once the wolf is tamed, you can breed it as you would boars, which is fun. More importantly, if you pet a tamed wolf, it will start following you around. If you two (or three, or more, however many you’ve tamed) run into an enemy, your pets will absolutely attack and fight by your side. It. Is. Awesome.

Lox in Valheim are probably the most difficult animals to tame in the game. They are exceptionally strong, so fencing them in is largely useless. Instead, your best bet is to sneak up to them, throw down some food (barley and / or cloudberries), and then sneak away. Or, you know, run for your life if it gets mad. Rinse and repeat until the lox is tamed. Incidentally, you might die. Probably more than a few times, if we’re being perfectly honest. When you do eventually manage to tame one of these furry dinosaurs, then you can build a pen and throw some more food in. Wait for the lox to shuffle inside and close the gate.

In a survival game like Valheim, you should know the process of farming and planting seeds of multiple varieties to survive. Unlike other games, you can’t directly farm in Valheim. Yes, the game requires you to get a tool called Cultivator to get the farming done.

There are certain things that you will need to farm in Valheim. As we have mentioned above, farming in this survival game is a bed of roses. The first thing that you should keep in mind that you can’t start farming in Valheim just after starting playing the game.

Make sure to have enough Copper and Tin before start farming in the game. You will require to have a seed that you want to be planted. Once you have accumulated all the said things, you will have to find a farmable land to begin farming.

Once you have obtained a Cultivator, equip it from the inventory. Once equipped, open up the action menu by using the Right-Click button and select what you are going to do with Cultivator. You will be shown a bunch of options depending on the variety of seeds you have.

Selecting’ Cultivate’ option will till the soil and create a land where you can plant things. Once selected, left-click on the ground to turn it into formable soil. The next thing that you need to do is to create grass. The following options will pop up on the screen depending on things that you have in your inventory.

Once you have placed the seeds that you want to be planted in your tilled dirt, you would not need to water the seeds that you want to grow. Yes, they will grow on their own and take enough time to be ready to pick. Make sure to keep enough space between all the seeds.

That’s everything you need to know about how to farm in Valheim.

Unlike other survival crafting sims, Valheim doesn't have a hunger or thirst management system. Instead, food functions more as a means of health management. You can eat up to three pieces of food at a time, and depending on what you eat, your maximum health will increase and you will heal over time. Eventually these bonuses go away, even ones that affect your maximum health, but these edible helpers can boost you for ten to twenty minutes at a time if you're lucky. That can be the difference between victory and defeat in mid-to-late game scenarios.

Generally, there are three different categories of food. They are divided up in how easy they are to obtain, how easy they are to prepare, and how effective they are. We'll start with....


This category you will be getting very familiar with when you're just starting out. As the title implies, you can simply find these items in the wild as you are scavenging and heal well enough.

These include blueberries, raspberries, carrots and mushrooms. These pop up naturally in places you'd expect. Raspberries grow in the Meadow, blueberries grow in the Black Forest, mushrooms can be found in the Meadows and Forest. There are also yellow mushrooms that pack a lot of health and stamina bonuses, but they only grow in Burial Grounds so collect those at your own peril. Carrots are more involved than the others since you can only collect seeds in the Black Forest and will have to grow them yourself.

But the big daddy of this natural splendor is honey. Honey heals you a lot and heals you quickly. It is Valheim's superfood and fantastic for any early game player still trying to get leather armor crafted and a roof over their heads. As expected, you can find this golden sticky delight inside beehives. You can find beehives hidden either in old abandoned buildings or in tree branches in the Meadows biome.

You could just destroy these things until you have enough, but much like boar taming, there's a more economical solution. If you get a Queen Bee from the beehive remains, you can create your own private beehive and get your own honey for free. Bear in mind that beehives need wide open spaces to grow and expand properly, so it won't be good to just tuck it away in a corner in your hideout.


On the second tier is the delicious meat that comes from tracking it down and killing it yourself. Before you get down to it, you will need a Cooking Station built over a fire at your base. The materials are quite basic, some wood and stone, so you should be fine. Generally speaking, these succulent dishes last much longer compared to the scavenged materials and provide stamina bonuses, allowing you to fight longer and travel greater distances. The best combo you can possibly have at this stage would be mushrooms, honey, and some freshly cooked meat for maximum healing and durability.

The food found in this category is generic raw meat. You get it from killing boars and deer. There's much else to it, it's meat. Next are neck tails, and they are dropped from lizard monsters called Necks. They chill out near the shores of large bodies of water and can be taken out pretty quickly. Finally, while you're near some water, you might want to check out our guide for a fishing rod and catch yourself some lunkers to throw on the fire as well.

As for how the Cooking Station works, it's similar to how the Monster Hunter series handles cooking meat. Put two raw items on the cooking rack then wait. After about twenty seconds, or just wait for the sizzle sound effect, take the items off the rack. Congratulations you have some cooked protein. However, if you leave your dish on the cooking rack too long, it will eventually burn up into charcoal. Unless you need some emergency fuel for some metalwork, it's generally a good idea not to let this happen.


Finally, the highest tier of delicious dishes come from the kind of Viking who knows how to really cook, not just put raw meat over a fire.

First, you need a cauldron. This will take a while since you'll have to smelt some tin for the raw materials. If you need help there, please consult our Smelting guide. Much like the Cooking Station, you'll need to put it over a fire for it to work properly.

Once the cauldron is built, you can cook more elaborate dishes. Unlike the Cooking Station, these dishes will be ready instantly once you have the ingredients. The first of these is Queen's Jam, which is made up of eight blueberries and raspberries. It's the simplest of these recipes to pull off and really helps give these wild fruits more punch.


The second of these meals is carrot soup. The ingredients for a bowl are quite simple: some mushrooms and carrots. If you need tips on how to grow some carrots, please consult our Farming guide. If you want the biggest boost to your stamina and some stellar health regeneration, this is the dish to aim for.


Finally, there are delicious sausages. You get four of them every time you make them, they're lightweight and give you the largest health bonus and fantastic regeneration all on its own. If that all seems too good to be true, it's because you don't know the ingredients yet.

Making some sausages require a bit of raw meat, four bundles of thistle, and two lumps of entrails. The raw meat is obvious, and thistle grows all over the place in the Black Forest, easily identified by it glowing green. The big hurdle is going to be getting entrails since it is only dropped by Draugr, which only show up in the Swamp biome. If you're struggling to get to a Swamp, we have you covered there as well.

Valheim is a game that's largely about survival and crafting. You may have encountered Gold, Rubies, or Amber at some point in the game; these items do indeed have a purpose. Valuables can be sold for money, but you won't be able to do much until you find the Merchant.
As with most things in this game, the Valheim Merchant is located at a specific location depending on your map seed when you generate the world. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to find him — you're going to have to look around.



It's not that bad, thankfully. In the few maps I've seen, the Merchant is typically not that far away from the center of the map. The icon for the Merchant (seen above) will appear when you are relatively close to him. Although the Merchant has a cart, he doesn't ever appear to move from his position.

One important note about the Merchant: a series of four Runes surround his camp. These aren't like the Runestones that you can read in the world; rather, these Runes ward off any and all enemies. Enemies won't attack you or follow you into the Merchant's area, so you never have to worry about a Troll smashing your head in while you're shopping.


Selling items to the Valheim Merchant is as easy as pushing a button. Pushing that button will sell all of the salable items that you have in your inventory. Don't worry about accidentally selling any of your equipment or anything like that, either — the Merchant is only interested in vendor trash.

Where Do You Find Items to Sell to the Merchant?

You can't sell anything without finding it first! The Valheim Merchant buys Amber, Amber Pearls, and Rubies. These can be found in a few different locations in the game world:

• Chests in abandoned buildings
  
• Burial Chambers in the Black Forest
  
• Troll Caves in the Black Forest
  
• Crypts in the Swamp

Troll Caves are especially good sources of loot. You can also fight and kill a Troll in the open world — while you aren't likely to get any treasure, you will get some Gold.


The Valheim Merchant only buys a handful of treasures that you can find in the game world; this is the only purpose for these items, so there's no reason not to sell them unless you want to use them to decorate.

The items the Merchant sells, however, are much more interesting. You can get a magical flashlight on your head, a fishing pole, or even a special item that increases your carry weight!

Item Name Price Description
Amber 5 Valuable. Only purpose is for selling.
Amber Pearl 10 Valuable. Only purpose is for selling.
Ruby 20 Valuable. Only purpose is for selling.
Item Name Price Description
Yule Hat 100 A festive cosmetic hat.
Dverger circlet 620 A circlet that projects a light in front of you that never runs out.
Megingjord 950 Increases your carry weight by 150.
Ymir Flesh 120 Crafting material. One of the pieces of the two-handed Iron Sledge.
Fishing Rod 350 Allows you to fish.
Fishing bait x50 10 Required for fishing.

Making Valheim Potions and Mead is a pretty simple affair once you've met the basic requirements. To start, you're going to need to be able to make metal — that means you're going to have to get your hands on a Pickaxe by beating the game's first boss Eikthyrnir.

You should also bear in mind that the workstations and tools alone are not enough — you also must have picked up every single ingredient in a Mead Base recipe before you can actually make it. (A list of all of the Valheim Potions and Mead recipes we've found so far are at the end of this guide.)


You're going to need some Beehives as noted in the above list. Look around the Meadows for abandoned buildings and listen for the characteristic buzzing sound of bees. If you find a nest, all you have to do is shoot the nest down or destroy the building around it so that it collapses. You'll get a bit of Honey for your trouble, and more importantly, you'll get a Queen Bee.

That Queen Bee can be used to make a Beehive, providing you with a renewable source of Honey — an important ingredient in most Potions and Meads. Beehives need to be placed outdoors and they also need a certain amount of open space around them; interacting with the Beehive will tell you one of the following messages:

• The bees are happy – Your bees have enough open space and are producing Honey.
  
• The bees need more open space – Self-explanatory; there isn't enough open space around the bees. Place the Beehive in a more open area or put it on top of a wooden pole.
  
• The bees are sleeping – It's nighttime and the bees are asleep.

A Beehive can store a maximum of 4 Honey before it won't produce anymore. Make sure to collect it regularly! That's the main reason you're doing all this work — many common recipes require Honey.


Making Valheim Potions and Mead is easy once you've got the setup done! The only downside is that it takes time for the Potions and Mead to ferment in the Fermenter; it may be worthwhile to build multiple Fermenters

Each Potion or Mead has its own specific crafting ingredients. You can't get started without the items to make it, after all! Some ingredients such as Blueberries, Dandelions, and Honey are easy enough to get; other ingredients, however, can be more challenging to acquire.

One of the most important ingredients for Tier 2 Potions and Mead is a Bloodbag; you can get this item as a drop from Leeches, a waterborne creature that can be found in the Swamp Biome.


The Cauldron is where you'll make your Mead Base — this is the precursor to actually making Potions and Mead. Like most crafting stations, the Cauldron will make things pretty much instantly.

Your final step is to take your Mead Base and put it in the Fermenter. It takes roughly a couple of in-game days for the process to complete. Once it's done, you can interact with the Fermenter to pick up your finished Mead! Again, it may be a good idea to have multiple Fermenters if you plan on using Mead regularly.

This is a list of all Valheim Potions and Mead that we've found. This list will be updated as new Potions and Mead are discovered.

The Valheim Fishing Rod is only sold by the Merchant. You'll have to find the Merchant before you can buy it; you'll also need 350 Gold to buy it.


Once you've found the Merchant, acquiring the Fishing Rod is simply a matter of purchasing it. Make sure to buy some Fishing Bait, too — you're going to need it to catch your dinner!


Fishing in Valheim is a fairly straightforward process. Naturally, you'll need to have your Fishing Rod equipped and some Fishing Bait in your inventory. Once you're all set up, it's time to find some water and get to fishing!

Here's how to Fish in Valheim:

• Stand near water and look for Fish.
  
• Hold down the left mouse button to charge up your cast.
  
• Release the left mouse button to cast your line.
  
• Tap the right mouse button to bring the line in.
  
• Once you hook a fish, you have to mash the right mouse button to reel the fish in. Keep in mind that this uses up your Stamina!
  
• You can press E to pick up a Fish once it gets close enough.

If your luck is poor (or you're not finding any Fish), you're going to have to cast your line and try again. Catching a Fish will get you raw meat that needs to be cooked on a Campfire.

Unfortunately, the Valheim Fishing Rod is not quite a true "tool" like other things in the game. The upside is that it won't break after being used too much. The downside, however, is that you cannot upgrade it in any way to improve its performance.
