How do you craft a Draugr Fang bow and what materials are needed?

The Draugr Fang is one of the most powerful bows in Valheim, offering high damage and the unique ability to deal poison damage to enemies. To craft this bow, you must first progress through the game and gather specific materials from various biomes. The Draugr Fang requires a Forge to craft, so ensure you have one built and upgraded to at least level 3. This bow is ideal for mid-to-late-game players who are exploring the Swamp and Plains biomes, as it provides a significant advantage against tough enemies like Draugr, Fulings, and even bosses.\n\nTo craft the Draugr Fang, you will need the following materials: 10 Ancient Bark, 20 Silver, 10 Guck, and 2 Deer Hide. Ancient Bark is obtained by chopping down Ancient Trees in the Swamp biome. These trees are large, dark, and have a distinct appearance, making them easy to identify. Silver is mined from Silver Veins in the Mountains biome, but you will need a Wishbone (dropped by Bonemass, the third boss) to locate these veins. Guck is a green, glowing resource found on trees in the Swamp biome, and Deer Hide is a common drop from Deer in the Meadows biome.\n\nOnce you have gathered all the materials, head to your Forge. Ensure the Forge is upgraded to level 3, as this is a requirement for crafting the Draugr Fang. Open the crafting menu at the Forge and locate the Draugr Fang in the weapons section. If you have all the required materials, you can craft the bow. The Draugr Fang has a base damage of 47 and adds 10 poison damage over time, making it highly effective against enemies with high health pools.\n\nOne common challenge players face is locating Silver in the Mountains biome. To make this easier, defeat Bonemass in the Swamp biome to obtain the Wishbone. Equip the Wishbone and explore the Mountains biome; it will emit a pulsing sound and green particles when you are near a Silver Vein. Use a Pickaxe to mine the Silver, but be prepared for Frost damage and attacks from Wolves and Drakes. Bring Frost Resistance Mead or wear Wolf Armor to mitigate the cold.\n\nAnother challenge is gathering Guck, as it is found high up on trees in the Swamp biome. To collect Guck, you can either build a ladder or platform to reach it or use a Hoe to level the ground beneath the tree. Be cautious of enemies like Draugr and Leeches while collecting Guck. For Ancient Bark, ensure you have a Bronze or Iron Axe, as lower-tier axes cannot chop down Ancient Trees.\n\nThe Draugr Fang is a versatile weapon that excels in both single-target and crowd-control situations. Its poison damage is particularly useful against enemies with high health, such as Trolls, Fulings, and even bosses like Moder. Pair the Draugr Fang with high-quality arrows, such as Frost or Poison arrows, to maximize its effectiveness. Frost arrows are especially useful in the Plains biome, as they slow down Fulings and Lox, giving you more time to deal damage.\n\nFor new players, focus on progressing through the game and defeating bosses to unlock the necessary resources. Experienced Vikings should prioritize upgrading the Draugr Fang at the Forge to further enhance its damage and durability. Always carry a backup weapon, such as a melee weapon or a secondary bow, in case you run out of arrows or need to switch tactics mid-fight.\n\nIn summary, the Draugr Fang is a powerful bow that requires materials from the Swamp, Mountains, and Meadows biomes. Gather Ancient Bark, Silver, Guck, and Deer Hide, then craft it at a level 3 Forge. Use the Wishbone to locate Silver, and be cautious when collecting Guck in the Swamp. Pair the Draugr Fang with high-quality arrows for maximum effectiveness, and always be prepared for the challenges of Valheim''s biomes.
