How do you unlock the recipe for the Jotun Bane, and where do you find Jotun Puffs?
The Jotun Bane is a powerful two-handed sword in Valheim, known for its high damage and unique abilities. To unlock its recipe, you must first defeat Moder, the fourth boss located in the Mountain biome. Moder drops Dragon Tears, which are essential for crafting the Artisan Table, a key workstation required for advanced crafting. Once you have the Artisan Table, you can unlock the Jotun Bane recipe by obtaining and processing Jotun Puffs, a rare resource found in the Mistlands biome.\n\nTo find Jotun Puffs, you must venture into the Mistlands, a late-game biome filled with dangerous enemies and dense fog. Jotun Puffs are glowing blue mushrooms that grow on the ground, often near large rock formations or ancient ruins. Due to the biome''s low visibility, it is recommended to bring a Wisplight, crafted from Wisp materials obtained in the Swamp biome, to navigate the Mistlands more effectively. Once you locate Jotun Puffs, harvest them using any tool or weapon.\n\nAfter collecting Jotun Puffs, you need to process them into Refined Eitr at the Eitr Refinery. To build an Eitr Refinery, you must first gather Black Cores from Infested Mines in the Mistlands. These mines are guarded by Seekers and other hostile creatures, so ensure you are well-equipped with strong armor, weapons, and healing items. Once you have Black Cores, craft the Eitr Refinery at the Artisan Table using Black Cores, Black Marble, and Yggdrasil Wood. Place the Jotun Puffs into the refinery to produce Refined Eitr, which is a key ingredient for crafting the Jotun Bane.\n\nTo craft the Jotun Bane, you will need the following materials: 30 Refined Eitr, 15 Iron, and 5 Black Metal. Iron can be obtained from Muddy Scrap Piles in the Swamp biome, while Black Metal is dropped by Fulings in the Plains biome. Once you have all the materials, use the Artisan Table to craft the Jotun Bane. This weapon is particularly effective against Mistlands enemies, as it deals bonus damage to creatures weak to spirit damage.\n\nA common challenge players face is surviving in the Mistlands due to its high difficulty and limited visibility. To overcome this, ensure you have fully upgraded armor, such as Carapace Armor, and bring plenty of healing mead and stamina-restoring items. Additionally, using the Wisplight is crucial for navigating the biome safely. If you are struggling to find Jotun Puffs, explore areas near large rock formations or ancient structures, as these are common spawn points.\n\nIn summary, unlocking the Jotun Bane requires defeating Moder, crafting an Artisan Table, and gathering Jotun Puffs from the Mistlands. Process the Jotun Puffs into Refined Eitr using an Eitr Refinery, then combine it with Iron and Black Metal to craft the weapon. With its high damage and spirit-based abilities, the Jotun Bane is a valuable tool for tackling the challenges of the Mistlands biome. Always prepare thoroughly before venturing into dangerous areas, and use the Wisplight to navigate the dense fog effectively.
