Valheim: How to Get Obsidian | Game Rant
In Valheim, players need to scour the purgatory wilderness in order to find the materials to stay alive. After making and starting to upgrade a workbench in Valheim, players will also need better tools and weapons. A material necessary for making the best arrows is obsidian.
In order to find obsidian, players will have to venture to the snowy mountain Biome. The obsidian ore will show up as a jagged black rock against the snow, making it somewhat easy to see. Unfortunately, it is very rare to come across in the wild, so players will have to keep an eye out while wandering the mountains for every scrap of obsidian they can find. Also, the Valheim wolf armor that stops players from freezing can also be helpful for this venture.
In order to mine obsidian, players will need to find iron in Valheim and forge an iron pickaxe. This black rock cannot be mined with anything less durable than iron.
Players can make three different types of arrows with obsidian. First, they will need to upgrade their workbench to level 3 by adding two of the following: the Chopping Block, the Tanning Rack, the Adze, or the Tool Shelf. These can be added in any order, and each one adds an additional level to the Workbench.
- The first is Frost Arrows, which deal cold damage to enemies. This can be helpful in fighting against Surtlings, perhaps while collecting Surtling Cores. These are made with eight wood, two feathers, four obsidian, and one freeze gland, which are loot drops from fights with drakes. This makes twenty frost arrows.
- The second type of arrow is strong and durable obsidian arrow. Players will need eight wood, two feathers, and four obsidian to make twenty of these as well. While these don't have any special stats, they are stronger than normal arrows and will deal more damage.
- Last are poison arrows, and twenty can be made with eight wood, two feathers, four obsidian, and a single ooze. These devastating arrows have 26 pierce, 52 poison, and 10 knockback. Players can collect ooze to make these arrows by defeating blobs and oozers in the Swamp Biome in Valheim.
Even after the first update to Valheim, which came out just a few days ago, there doesn't appear to be any other recipes that require obsidian at this time. However, there may be more in future updates to this Early Access game.
Valheim is available now in Early Access on PC.
