Food fills your HP and stamina pools — without it your health bar shrinks to almost nothing. Cook meat, berries and vegetables at a Campfire or Cauldron and combine a health, stamina and balanced dish to triple your effective health before any serious fight.

No. Metal ores and ingots cannot pass through portals, only smelted bars and crafted items can. The classic workaround is to build a smelter near the mine, sail the bars home, or use a cart and a boat to ferry heavy loads back to your main base.

Follow the Forsaken order: Eikthyr in the Meadows, The Elder in the Black Forest, Bonemass in the Swamp, Moder on the Mountain, Yagluth in the Plains, The Queen in the Mistlands, Fader in the Ashlands and finally Kall Fimbulbringer in the Deep North. Each trophy unlocks a Forsaken power and the next biome's gear tier.

Drop the animal's favorite food near it and stay out of sight while the taming bar fills. Boars eat mushrooms and berries, wolves eat raw meat, lox eat cloudberries or barley and askvin eat eggs or meat. Once tamed you can breed them and, for lox and askvin, ride them.

Read the support color: blue means grounded, green means strongly supported, yellow is weak and red will collapse. Use core wood poles and stone pillars to reach height, and never build a roof span longer than the material can support without a post.

World modifiers are difficulty settings you can set per world: passive enemies, no raids, combat difficulty, and even Hardcore where your tombstone and items are lost on death. You can change them anytime from the main menu on the world select screen, and they apply to everyone on the server.

Yes. Valheim supports up to ten players, and you can host a world for your friends, join someone else's server, or run a dedicated server. Progress, building and boss trophies are shared, and 1.0 added full crossplay across PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Switch 2.
