Where can you find dragon tears for advanced forge crafting?

Dragon Tears are a rare and essential resource in Valheim, required for advanced forge crafting, specifically to build the Artisan Table. This table unlocks high-tier crafting recipes, including the ability to craft powerful items like the Draugr Fang bow and Padded Armor. To obtain Dragon Tears, you must defeat Moder, the fourth boss in Valheim, located in the Mountain biome. Moder is a dragon-like creature and one of the most challenging bosses in the game, so preparation is key.\n\nTo begin your journey to acquire Dragon Tears, you must first locate Moder''s summoning altar. Moder''s Vegvisir (boss rune) can be found in Mountain biome structures, such as Frost Caves or stone ruins. These runes will mark the location of Moder''s altar on your map. Once you have the location, you will need to gather three Dragon Eggs to summon Moder. Dragon Eggs are heavy (200 weight each) and can be found scattered around the Mountain biome, often guarded by Drakes or other hostile creatures.\n\nBefore facing Moder, ensure you are well-prepared. Craft Frost Resistance Mead to survive the freezing temperatures of the Mountain biome. Equip yourself with high-tier weapons like the Draugr Fang bow or a Silver Sword, and wear Wolf Armor or Padded Armor for maximum protection. Bring plenty of healing meads, stamina meads, and arrows, as Moder is a flying boss with devastating attacks. Additionally, building a small shelter near the altar can serve as a respawn point and storage for supplies.\n\nOnce you have the Dragon Eggs, place them on the altar to summon Moder. The fight will be intense, as Moder uses ranged ice attacks and can summon blizzards. Focus on dodging her attacks and using ranged weapons to deal consistent damage. After a long and challenging battle, Moder will drop Dragon Tears, which you can collect and use to craft the Artisan Table at your base.\n\nA common challenge players face is transporting Dragon Eggs to the altar due to their weight. To solve this, use a Cart or Longship to carry the eggs more efficiently. If you are playing solo, consider making multiple trips or enlisting the help of friends to speed up the process. Another tip is to clear the area around the altar of enemies before summoning Moder to avoid distractions during the fight.\n\nIn summary, Dragon Tears are obtained by defeating Moder in the Mountain biome. Prepare thoroughly with the right gear, potions, and strategies to ensure success. Once you have the Dragon Tears, you can unlock advanced crafting options and continue progressing through Valheim''s endgame content. Good luck, Viking!
