In the mythical and perilous lands of Valheim, winning fights is all about how you fill your Viking belly. As you can’t level your character, food plays a significant role in boosting your character’s stamina and health stats. While munching on a few berries or mushrooms can lightly satisfy your appetite, true champions eat like champions. To have an edge in combat, you’ll need to eat the most effective foods that provide robust and long-lasting buffs. One of the best of these is the Valheim sausage. Seasoned with a bit of thistle and a hint of Draugr guts, these high-cholesterol links of meat guarantee you an advantage over your enemies even in the “wurst” situations.
Valheim Sausage Cooking Guide
(Updated on July 29, 2024 – updated images and guide steps)
You don’t need mods to cook sausages in Valheim, just a Cauldron. You can craft one out of 10 Tin ingots smelted at your Forge. After placing a fire beneath it, you’ll need to gather the ingredients for the sausages. Here’s what you’re looking for:
- Thistles x 4 (found in the Black Forest and Swamp biomes)
- Raw meat x 1 (harvested from deer, boar, or wolves)
- Entrails x 2 (harvested from Draugr in the Swamp or Meadows biome)
Thistles aren’t difficult to spot, and they emit a blue glow at night, increasing their visibility and making them even easier to collect. Entrails are another matter, as the undead Draugr can pack a serious punch if you enter their territory unprepared. After collecting all three ingredients, head back to camp to cook up some savory sausages. The following are stat bonuses you can expect to receive from eating one sausage:
- Max Health: +55
- Max Stamina: +18
- Duration: approx. 25 minutes
- Healing: 3 HP per tick
That’s all you need to know to start cooking sausages in Valheim! Time to take a bite out of something savory and get ready for the battle against Eikthyr.
