Biomes

9 Valheim pages in Biomes.

• AshlandsThe Ashlands is Valheim's eighth biome, a lava-scarred crescent of land at the southern edge of the world, added in May 2024. It is home to the Charred, their besiegeable fortresses, the Flametal metal, gem-augmented weapons and the seventh boss, Fader.
• Black ForestThe second biome of Valheim: dark pine forests where copper and tin start the Bronze Age, Burial Chambers hold Surtling Cores, trolls and bears roam, Haldor trades, and the Elder waits at his altar.
• Deep NorthThe Deep North is Valheim's ninth and final biome, a frozen land beyond the Ocean added by the 1.0 release on Sep 9, 2026. Snowstorms, deep snow and cracking ice guard two dungeons, the Jotun Invasion loop and the Aesir Passage that leads to the last boss.
• MeadowsThe green starting biome of Valheim, home to the Sacrificial Stones, Eikthyr's altar, wood, flint, berries, deer and boar, and since 1.0 the Rocky Birch Meadows edge variant.
• MistlandsThe sixth biome of Valheim, added in December 2022: a fog-bound land of black crags, Dvergr outposts and insectoid Seekers where the player unlocks magic, black marble and the boss fight against the Queen.
• MountainThe fourth biome of Valheim, a snowbound highland where the Freezing effect drains health, wolves and drakes hunt the slopes, silver lies buried under the snow, Frost Caves hide a wolf cult, Moder waits at her altar, and the 1.0 Forge of Potential spawns nowhere else.
• OceanThe Ocean is the sea that separates every other biome of Valheim. It holds Serpents, island-sized Leviathans and deep-water fish, turns boiling around the Ashlands and frozen at the Deep North, and was left unchanged by the 1.0 release.
• PlainsThe fifth biome of Valheim, a wide, sunlit grassland ruled by Fuling tribes and their dead king Yagluth. Source of black metal, barley, flax and tar, home to lox, deathsquitos and Hildir's Sealed Towers.
• SwampThe third biome of Valheim, a rain-soaked bog of ancient trees, draugr and poison. Its Sunken Crypts hold the scrap iron that carries a Viking into the Mountains, its boss is Bonemass, and since 2024 the Bog Witch trades from a hut in its depths.
