Where and how to find obsidian.
As I mentioned, the specific ore is only located in the Highlands region, which is one of the last biomes in the game. A harsh environment alongside tough wildlife and monsters will definitely hamper your search, but you should now have an understanding of the mechanics of the game and how you can survive it all. After finding a way to deal with the Freezing Debuff, either with Campfires, Frost Resistance Meads, or Wolf Armor, you need to prepare for a hike.
You can easily browse the map on foot, running to find many items and secrets, but obsidian is very difficult to locate. Although it is quite different from the snow it sits on, it is quite small to see, so you need to be careful everywhere you look. It is usually found in "bundles", with 3-4 rocks at a time, making it at least a worthy find every time.
Don't get frustrated if you can't seem to find this ingredient in massive amounts, as expected. Being one of the endgame materials, it's only natural that this is so rare. Just keep looking for mountain peaks and don't bother looking for it anywhere other than snowy areas. Unlike Silver, the Obsisian is on top of these cliffs, instead of underground. Also, obsidian is the main requirement for making high end arrows, like:
- Frost arrows
- Obsidian arrows
- Poison arrows
Frost Arrows in particular are very good to make, as they can help immensely in Bone mass Boss, providing an easy way to beat him. With the ingredients that you can collect from him, you can create the Poison Arrows, and so on. Either way, obsidian is something you should be looking for later in the game.
Valheim is now available via Steam Early Access.
