So, without further ado, allow me to get started with the Valheim Iron Location Guide and make sure to stay put until the end.
Valheim Iron Locations
Locating iron ore in Valheim is of no use if you don’t have Antler Picaxe or Bronze Picaxe to mine it. Hence, the first thing you have to do is make sure you have access to either of the one Picaxe if you don’t want your efforts to go in vain. You can spot the iron deposits in the swamps. Grab the Picaxe, locate the Swamp closer to you on the Valheim map, and make your way to it. Once you reach the swamp, you look for scrap iron at two places, In the chests – Chests are found in the Sunken Crypts i.e. the dungeons of the swamp. By mining Muddy Scrap Piles – You can search for Muddy Scraps Piles either in the doorways of the Sunken Crypts or buried underneath any ground fields of Swamp. Note: You can locate the buried Muddy Scrap Piles by taking the help of the Wishbone.
Smelting Iron Process
Sunken Crypts are incredibly dangerous, and you could lose your life if you’re not constantly on your toes. Therefore if you survive amidst gathering enough iron scrap, then kudos to you buddy, you’ve successfully completed the rocky part of the journey. After collecting iron scraps, the next part is to scrap them in the ingots using the smelter (stone x20 and surtling core x5). Also Read | How To Tame Wolf In Valheim?
