In Valheim, after defeating the first boss, Eikthyr, players can begin to craft Bronze. Using the Hard antler, players can make an Antler pickaxe, the first step in obtaining Bronze equipment. This should be the first priority since the next phase of the game will be exceedingly difficult without better equipment. Also, the Bronze axe becomes an integral part of the game, being the piece of equipment required to harvest Fine wood and advance the crafting station.
The question remains for new players though. How do you create Bronze?
What You’ll Need
Making Bronze in Valheim is a relatively simple process. With the antler pickaxe in hand, players can now gather the requisite ores. The first of which is Copper ore, which can be mined from large deposits in the Black Forest region. In addition, players will need Tin ore, which is mined from the Black Forest but specifically found near bodies of water (rivers or beaches). Take your newly found ore to a Smelter and refine them into bars. Finally, you combine Tin and Copper into Bronze at a Forge using a two to one ratio; two Copper for one Tin.
While you can take the Cart with you to collect ore, groups may find it easier to simply ferry the items back and forth to their main compound considering the limitations of the Cart in rough terrain.
What Bronze Makes
- Bronze ategir
- Bronze axe
- Bronze buckler
- Bronze helmet
- Bronze mace
- Bronze nails
- Bronze pickaxe
- Bronze plate cuirass
- Bronze plate leggings
- Bronze spear
- Bronze sword
- Bronzehead arrow
- Cultivator
As you can see, there is a surplus of excellent items to be made from Bronze, but players should forego some items in favor of others. We suggest prioritizing the Bronze axe first and Bronze nails to get started on building a boat. Afterward, players can move on to building armor and weapons.
Other Valheim Guides
This guide should have equipped you with all the knowledge necessary to build Bronze items. With these in hand, the next phase of Valheim should be more accessible. We suggest that players get an entire set before attempting to defeat The Elder. If this guide helped you share it along so we can help others.
