![]() ![]() Again, you’re just looking for convenience. Be close to the water, but don’t worry about waterfront property.Placing your camp near woods means you have access, but don’t have to clear all those trees before you start building. You’ll be cutting down a ton of trees for building, firewood, and crafting. Look for somewhere open, but near trees.You’ll get tools to adjust terrain soon, but less work is always better. Look for a relatively level patch of land.Other things to consider while picking a camp location include: Once you’ve found water (and, more importantly, a source of flint), you can decide where to build your workbench (which we’ll do in the next section), which will serve as the foundation for your camp. Don’t worry about chopping down full trees just yet. Take out any enemies or animals you happen across, pick up any food, branches, and stones that you spot. Trees are important because they’re full of wood.(Also, picking up your first flint unlocks the next set of crafting recipes.) You’ll need a lot of flint a little later, so pick it up. It looks like a stone, but it’s more oblong and whiter. Flint is available whenever you’re near water.Water is important because flint only appears near water.Pick a location with access to water, flint, and trees. The exact location isn’t super important, but convenience is. Ultimately, you’re looking for a location to build your camp. With your tools in hand, spend a few minutes exploring the area around the Sacrificial Stones, filling in your map. Spam it to fix anything you’re carrying that’s degraded.

You can repair tools, weapons, and armor at a workbench. We haven’t told you to build a workbench yet, but let’s answer a question you’re probably going to ask: Yes, you can repair tools. Note: You can repair your tools at a workbench With the hammer, you’ll build things like a workbench and structures to start your camp.īefore you build your workbench and start settling down, though, let’s explore a little more to find a good location. The club is a better weapon for fighting the greylings that harass you (it deals more damage and saves the wear and tear on your axe). The stone axe lets you get through trees and logs (and enemies and animals) much faster than your bare fists. For the hammer, you’ll need 3 wood and 2 stone.For the stone axe, you’ll need 5 wood and 4 stone.Once you pick up a piece of wood and a stone, you’ll get recipes for your first set of tools: the stone axe, club, and hammer.

Step 2: Make a stone axe, club, and hammer Picking up new resources unlocks new crafting recipes. Watch for those areas and keep your eyes on the ground. It seems like you’ll find stones literally anywhere, but they tend to cluster around exposed dirt and rock. ![]() There should be a few scattered around your spawn point - the Sacrificial Stones you landed next to at the beginning of the game - ready to be collected. Once you craft a stone axe, you’ll be able to cut down beech trees and saplings, but anything else will be, as the game says, “ too hard.” Find and collect stone (Technically, you can punch a full-grown tree until it drops a lot of wood, but you don’t need to waste that much time just yet.) Punch a beech sapling a few times, and it’ll drop wood. Your first few pieces of wood come from branches on the ground (just pick them up - that’s free wood) and beech saplings. Image: Iron Gate Studio/Coffee Stain Publishing via Polygon Look for branches on the ground for no-hassle wood. To find wood, look for trees (obviously), and head that way. You’ll need them to craft tools and build structures.Īt this early stage, let’s collect (at least) 14 wood and 6 stones. Step 6: Making flint tools, weapons, some pants, and a shieldĪfter spawning and marking the Eikthyr altar location on your map, the first thing you need to do in Valheim is start finding stone and wood.Step 4: Building a workbench and starting your camp.Step 3: Finding a base location (with water, flint, and trees).Step 2: Crafting a stone axe, a club, and a hammer.Summoning Eikthyr is a microcosm of Valheim as a whole, and this guide will lead you through crafting your first tools, building your first fire and shelter, gathering materials, and crafting the tools, weapons, and armor you’ll need to defeat grow strong and defeat Valheim’s first boss. Right from the beginning, you’ll know that your task is to hunt your first prey Eikthyr - a huge, lightning-antlered stag. It’s much less clear about how you’re supposed to do that. Valheim is good at telling you what you’re supposed to do next. ![]()
