Valheim: How to Craft Fenris Armor

This article is over 2 years old and may contain outdated information.

One of the best and arguably sleekest-looking gear sets in Valheim is the Fenris Armor Set, a collection of light armor pieces that boosts Movement Speed, Fire Resistance, and Frost Resistance. This set also has an enchant for increased Fists Damage, which bolsters the DPS dealt by Flesh Rippers or unarmed strikes. Accordingly, if you want to create a boxing-berserker build for your character, this is undoubtedly the gear set for you. Most of the materials required to craft the Fenris Armor Set are acquired from the cold Mountains region. Therefore, you will need to stock up on Frost Resistance Mead or Wolf Armor pieces before searching for the resources.

The four primary materials required to make the Fenris Armor Set in Valheim are Leather Scraps, Wolf Pelts, Fenris Hair, and a Cultist Trophy. By the time you are ready to explore the Mountains, you should have a decent stockpile of Leather Scraps, which are acquired from Boars, Bats, or random Loot Chests found in the Meadows.

Wolf Pelts for the Fenris Armor Set in Valheim are evidently dropped by slain Wolves, wild canines that inhabit the Mountains. A Wolf’s bite can deal from 70 points of damage to 140, depending on the enemy’s number of stars. Therefore, before sure you are well-armored before taking on these fierce predators. If Wolves are sparse near your home base, consider taming them using Raw Meat from Boars. Once you have bred enough Wolves, farming Wolf Pelts for armor sets and other recipes should be no problem.

The third resource required to craft the Fenris Armor Set in Valheim is Fenris Hair, a bundle of thick, rough hair obtainable from the Frost Caves of the Mountain biome. According to YouTuber Alessio, you can find clumps of Fenris Hair atop pedestals or by slaying the Wolf-like Ulvs in the Frost Caves. The final material is a single Cultist Trophy, a rare drop from the Cultist, another mob that inhabits the Frost Caves. These Fenris worshippers can spew fire, so avoid fighting these fiends in tight spaces or narrow corridors. To summarize, here is a list of materials needed to make the Fenris Armor in Valheim:
