How do I craft and use the Obliterator?

The Obliterator is a unique and useful crafting station in Valheim that allows players to destroy unwanted items and convert them into coal. This is particularly helpful for managing inventory clutter and obtaining a valuable resource for smelting and cooking. To craft and use the Obliterator, you must first unlock its recipe by obtaining the necessary materials and progressing through the game.\n\nTo craft the Obliterator, you need to gather the following materials: 8 Iron, 4 Copper, and 1 Thunder Stone. Iron can be obtained by mining Muddy Scrap Piles in the Swamp biome or by smelting Scrap Iron in a Smelter. Copper is found in large deposits in the Black Forest biome and must be mined with a Bronze Pickaxe or better. The Thunder Stone is a rare item dropped by the Stone Golem in the Mountain biome. Once you have all the materials, you can craft the Obliterator at a Forge.\n\nOnce crafted, the Obliterator must be placed in a suitable location. It requires a flat surface and enough space around it to function properly. After placing it, you can interact with the Obliterator by opening its interface. To destroy items, simply drag and drop them into the Obliterator''s inventory slots. When you activate it, the items will be destroyed, and you will receive coal in return. The amount of coal generated depends on the type and quantity of items destroyed.\n\nOne common challenge players face is deciding which items to destroy. It''s important to prioritize items that are easy to replace or have little value, such as excess weapons, tools, or low-tier resources. Avoid destroying rare or hard-to-obtain items, as they may be useful later in the game. For example, destroying extra wooden arrows or basic leather scraps is a good way to free up inventory space while gaining coal.\n\nThe Obliterator also has a unique visual effect when activated, emitting a burst of lightning. This makes it a fun and immersive addition to your base. However, be cautious when using it near flammable structures, as the lightning effect can cause fires. To prevent accidents, place the Obliterator in an open area or surround it with non-flammable materials like stone.\n\nIn summary, the Obliterator is a valuable tool for managing inventory and generating coal in Valheim. By crafting it with Iron, Copper, and a Thunder Stone, you can efficiently dispose of unwanted items and keep your base organized. Use it wisely to maximize its benefits and avoid destroying rare or useful items. With proper placement and careful use, the Obliterator can greatly enhance your survival experience in the Viking world.
