How do you craft a Frostner using Silver and Ymir Flesh?
Crafting the Frostner, a powerful frost-based weapon in Valheim, requires careful preparation and resource gathering. This weapon is particularly useful in the Mountain biome, where its frost damage can slow down enemies like Wolves and Drakes. To craft the Frostner, you will need Silver, Ymir Flesh, and other materials, as well as access to a Forge.\n\nFirst, you must gather Silver, which is found in the Mountain biome. Silver veins are buried underground and can only be detected using the Wishbone, an item dropped by Bonemass, the third boss. Equip the Wishbone and explore the Mountains until you see a pulsing effect, indicating a Silver vein. Mine the Silver using an Iron Pickaxe or better. You will need 30 Silver to craft the Frostner.\n\nNext, you need Ymir Flesh, a rare material sold by Haldor, the merchant. Haldor can be found in the Black Forest biome, but his location is randomized. Once you locate him, purchase 5 Ymir Flesh for 120 coins each. Coins can be obtained by selling Amber, Amber Pearls, or other valuables to Haldor.\n\nIn addition to Silver and Ymir Flesh, you will need 10 Ancient Bark and 5 Freeze Glands. Ancient Bark is obtained by chopping down Ancient Trees in the Swamp biome, while Freeze Glands are dropped by Drakes in the Mountain biome. Drakes are flying creatures that can be challenging to defeat, so bring a bow and arrows to take them down from a distance.\n\nOnce you have all the materials, head to a Forge. The Forge must be upgraded to at least level 3 to craft the Frostner. To upgrade the Forge, you will need additional resources like Iron, Copper, and Fine Wood. Place the required materials in your inventory and interact with the Forge to craft the Frostner.\n\nThe Frostner is a versatile weapon that deals both blunt and frost damage. Its frost effect slows enemies, making it easier to manage groups or tough opponents. This makes it particularly effective in the Mountain biome, where enemies are fast and aggressive. Additionally, the Frostner is useful against Bonemass, as it deals spirit damage, which is effective against this boss.\n\nOne common challenge players face is locating Haldor, the merchant. To find him, explore the Black Forest biome thoroughly, especially areas you haven''t visited before. Haldor''s icon will appear on your map once you get close enough. Another challenge is surviving in the Mountain biome, where freezing temperatures can quickly drain your health. To counter this, craft a Wolf Fur Cape or Lox Cape, which provide frost resistance.\n\nIn summary, crafting the Frostner requires Silver, Ymir Flesh, Ancient Bark, and Freeze Glands. Gather these materials by exploring the Mountain and Swamp biomes, and locate Haldor in the Black Forest to purchase Ymir Flesh. Upgrade your Forge to level 3 and craft the Frostner to gain a powerful weapon for cold environments. Use it to slow enemies and deal significant damage, making your adventures in Valheim''s harshest biomes much more manageable.
