hello it's ricardo and welcome back to valheim
the viking survival game that has you running around hitting things with sticks
we're all talking about the iron age now and how to get into the iron age you want some iron armor
an iron sword well there's a writer passage you're gonna have to go through and it's not easy
dragging yourself into the iron age in valheim needs you to go through a certain number of
steps these steps are quite simple although quite hard to do kill boss one and then get the antler
pickaxe kill the elder that's boss two and then get the swamp key then you're gonna have to go and
find the swamp biome which usually means you're gonna have to build a craft where it's a curve
or a raft of some sort i would say a carve because you stand the chance of not dying when
you get there the swamp biome are these dark brown areas you can see on the map
you're also going to stock up on some food so don't go in there empty-handed either going to
the swamp means you're going to need supplies get your best armor on make sure your weapons
are nice and sharp and make sure you've stocked up on good food stuffs that are going to give
you an awful lot of hit points i'm talking about sausages so you have to go and defeat some draeger
i'm talking about cut meat so go deer hunting and some royal jelly so go and collect some berries
you're also going to need some materials in particular fine wood and some bronze nails to make
yourself a decent ship like a curve and then when out on the ocean waves you're gonna be able to see
the different biomes whether they be the plains or forest black forests or meadows
from the sea and the swamp well i'll tell you what it's looking a little bit like this
you will you cannot mistake the swamp biome for anything other than what it is and that
is a whole nasty swamp and don't be surprised if you're not attacked or chased by wraiths as well
they're not the only things that are living in this little biome this biome of terror will have
draeger it'll have circlings fiery creatures it'll have these wraiths and also skeletons
once you land your craft on the shores of the swamp you know it's a place of foreboding you're
going to encounter circlings now surtlings are fiery creatures and when you kill them
you guessed it they're going to drop circling calls they're going to throw fireballs at you
and they emanate around these massive plumes of fire coming up from the base of the swamp
keep your wits about you because not only will they be there but also skeletons
and the draeger now we've all encountered them by now to get you to this point especially if you've
got the sausages if you don't know how to make sausages check my video in the description link
about how to make sausages in valheim but enough of all the perils how do you actually get iron
well you're looking for these big green sort of little fort crypt like objects and for this you're
gonna need the swamp key right and that's done by killing the elder as i mentioned earlier on
going in it's all glowing with this lovely green glowing light you're in for a right
battle but you're also going to need pickaxes now the antler pickaxe you get when you kill the first
boss the great big stag like creature right at the beginning of the game so make sure you got as many
of those as you can possibly get your hands on or unless you've fashioned some more sturdier weapons
a torch is also good news as well to take in there because it's gonna be dark
you've got the nice big green glow and some glow afforded you by the yellow mushrooms that
are also around looking around the entrance chamber you're looking for the ones that say
you got it muddy scrap piles some may be open some maybe clothes but to gain access give it
a good going over with your pickaxe of choice this is where you're gonna get your iron from
dead simple you're gonna get leather scraps you're gonna get long bones as well all these sort of
like warty horrible bones and also you're gonna get iron ore also look out for chests as well
there you can see i found the chest i've got scraps of leather bit of wood some bones and some
iron ore as well and this is how typically you go and get it but be warned when exploring these
sunken crypts because you're gonna get draga you're gonna get blobs sometimes you're gonna
get skeletons as well all these are gonna stand in their way when you're after your iron
just like as we explored the burial chambers and there'd be a video description in the comments
these particular crypts or burial chambers have got their own problems but the amount of iron you
can get out here is nobody's business typically i got away with about 40 to 50 units of iron
with not even trying so when you're clearing down these muddy scrap piles and releasing the iron
make sure you get all the bits and bobs and all the little remnants of muddy scrap pile um rocks
all around these entrance ways also check around the outskirts as well of the rooms for any other
piles or muddy piles right that's going to give you your iron also when you gain access to some
chambers yes there's going to be some people in there trying to stop you getting them but there's
going to be chests in there as well and those chests will also hold their own bounty and rewards
now once you've got enough iron you're going to have to get back to your main base or wherever
it is you've built your forge this is why having at least the carve as a motor transport is great
when getting away from the swamp with all your ore at the moment in the game the devs are undecided
on whether you can transport or at the moment in this level of the alpha in valheim you cannot
go through a portal with any sort of metal or iron included so you've got to transport it out
the old-fashioned way or build a forge in a base of operations in the swamp area and
there's plenty of old buildings that you can repurpose once you've got your iron ore and you
put it through the old smelter then you're going to have a whole new tree of items unlocked for
you not only is it going to be things like iron gates iron standing torches but the good stuff
like the armor like the weaponry so providing you've got enough iron ingots
and you could have to do a few trips here right and you've got your forge and your bellows set up
then you're going to be spot on for crafting all those things to get yourself into the iron age now
armor for me was a priority and then weapons but all the rest of it is particularly up to you hope
you've enjoyed this video and how to get yourself into the iron age i've really enjoyed making
