How do you craft a Frost Arrow using Obsidian and Feathers?

Crafting Frost Arrows in Valheim is a crucial step for surviving and thriving in cold biomes like the Mountains. These arrows deal frost damage, slowing enemies and making them easier to handle. To craft Frost Arrows, you will need three key ingredients: Obsidian, Feathers, and Freeze Glands. Obsidian is found in the Mountain biome, Feathers are dropped by birds, and Freeze Glands are obtained from Drakes, which also inhabit the Mountains.\n\nFirst, you need to gather Obsidian. Obsidian nodes are black, shiny rocks found scattered across the Mountain biome. To mine Obsidian, you must have an Iron Pickaxe or better. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to venture into the Swamp biome to gather Scrap Iron and craft it at a Forge. Once you have the pickaxe, head to the Mountains and look for Obsidian nodes. Be cautious of the cold; equip Frost Resistance Mead or Wolf Armor to avoid freezing damage.\n\nNext, collect Feathers. Feathers are a common drop from birds, which can be found in Meadows and Black Forest biomes. You can hunt birds with a bow or simply pick up Feathers they drop when flying near the ground. Feathers are also occasionally found in chests or as random drops in the world. Stockpile at least 20 Feathers for a decent supply of Frost Arrows.\n\nFinally, you’ll need Freeze Glands. These are dropped by Drakes, flying creatures in the Mountain biome. Drakes are aggressive and will attack on sight, so come prepared with a strong bow and arrows. Frost Resistance Mead is highly recommended to mitigate their frost attacks. Once you’ve defeated a Drake, it will drop 1-2 Freeze Glands. Collect at least 20 Freeze Glands to craft a full stack of Frost Arrows.\n\nWith all the materials gathered, head to a Workbench to craft Frost Arrows. Each Frost Arrow requires 4 Obsidian, 2 Feathers, and 1 Freeze Gland. Open the crafting menu at the Workbench, navigate to the ammunition section, and select Frost Arrows. Craft as many as you need, keeping in mind that they are highly effective against enemies weak to frost damage, such as Fulings and Lox in the Plains biome.\n\nOne common challenge is surviving the Mountain biome while gathering materials. To overcome this, always carry Frost Resistance Mead, which can be brewed at a Fermenter using Honey, Thistle, Bloodbag, and Greydwarf Eyes. Alternatively, equip Wolf Armor, which provides innate frost resistance. Additionally, bring plenty of food and healing items to sustain yourself during combat with Drakes and other Mountain enemies.\n\nFrost Arrows are particularly useful for slowing down fast-moving enemies, giving you time to reposition or deal additional damage. They are also effective against bosses like Moder, the Mountain biome boss, as they can slow her movements and make the fight more manageable. Always keep a stack of Frost Arrows in your inventory when exploring dangerous biomes.\n\nIn summary, crafting Frost Arrows requires careful preparation and resource gathering. Focus on mining Obsidian, hunting birds for Feathers, and defeating Drakes for Freeze Glands. Equip frost resistance gear and bring ample supplies to survive the harsh Mountain biome. Once crafted, Frost Arrows will become a valuable tool in your arsenal, helping you conquer even the toughest enemies in Valheim.
