Are you looking for a specific resource? To make different tools, weapons, equipment and all kinds of objects you will need to know how to find and mine each ore in Valheim. In this guide we will teach you how to get copper, iron, tin, silver, obsidian, and black metal in the game.

How to find copper in Valheim

To find copper in Valheim You will have to direct your steps to a Black Forest biome, where you will find large rocks covered with moss. There you will also find small areas of copper on the rock that you can extract using a horn / antler pick or better.

You will know that you have found the correct rock type because the “copper deposit” message will appear.

You will also receive stone when you try to get the copper (because that is what it takes to chop a rock). Keep in mind that sometimes the copper can be found quite deep, so we recommend that you keep digging around the area until you are sure that there is nothing else left.

How to find iron in Valheim

To be able to get iron in Valheim you will need an antler pick or a bronze pick to extract it, and you will only find this mineral in the interior of the swamp biomes.

You can obtain iron in Valheim by following two methods. The first is to search the Swamp for this resource having the Wishbone equipped, an object that you will obtain after defeating the Bonemass boss.

As you explore the swamp, use the Wishbone effect and watch the noise grow louder and faster. This will lead to loads of these hidden iron piles that can be mined like any other resource.

Alternatively you can find iron in Valheim inside the Sunken Crypts.
