In Valheim there are many different materials that you need for building weapons, armor, and tools. One of them is Obsidian. How to find and mine it, we will show you here.
Where to find Obsidian? You can find Obsidian in the “Mountains” area. You can recognize the place by its icy mountains and the frozen, snowy landscape. Visit the location and keep an eye out for special rock formations on the ground. Obsidian can be found in large stone blocks. Check the surrounding rocks and “inspect” them. At some point, the name “Obsidian deposit” will pop up when you see one of these stones.
How can you mine Obsidian? To mine Obsidian, you only need an iron pickaxe. Use it to mine the material.
Unfortunately, there is a problem, because in the icy area you receive frost damage and slowly lose your energy. If you do not have armor with frost resistance, you should brew a “mead with frost resistance.” For this, you need:
- 10x Honey
- 5x Thistle
- 2x Bloodbag
- 1x Dandelion
Drink this before you venture into the dangerous area. Also interesting is that you can transport Obsidian, unlike other metallic materials, through a portal.
What do you need Obsidian for? With the volcanic glass, you can craft many useful things. These include:
- Workbench upgrade to level 5
- Obsidian arrows
- Poison arrows
- Frost arrows
Does Obsidian respawn after mining? No, if you have completely exhausted a deposit, they do not respawn. Theoretically, you could free your entire world of Obsidian this way. However, since the world of Valheim is huge, it is rather unlikely that this will happen.
