How do you find and farm Dragon Eggs in the Mountains?
Finding and farming Dragon Eggs in Valheim''s Mountain biome is a challenging but rewarding task. Dragon Eggs are essential for summoning Moder, the fourth boss, and are found exclusively in the Mountains. These eggs are large, purple, and emit a faint glow, making them somewhat easier to spot in the snowy terrain. However, they are heavy (200 weight each) and require careful planning to transport.\n\nTo locate Dragon Eggs, you must first explore the Mountain biome. Look for large stone structures called Dragon Egg Nests, which are often guarded by Drakes, the flying ice creatures. These nests are typically found near the peaks of mountains or in elevated areas. Use the Wishbone, obtained by defeating Bonemass, to help locate buried eggs, as some may be hidden underground. Be prepared for cold weather by crafting Frost Resistance Mead or wearing Wolf Armor to avoid freezing.\n\nOnce you find a Dragon Egg, you’ll need to transport it to the Moder summoning altar. Since each egg weighs 200 units, you cannot carry more than one at a time unless you use a cart or a Longship. To transport eggs efficiently, clear a path from the nest to your ship or cart, removing obstacles like rocks and trees. If you’re using a cart, be cautious of steep slopes, as the weight of the egg can make it difficult to control. Alternatively, use a Longship to carry multiple eggs across water, as it has a larger inventory capacity.\n\nA common challenge is dealing with Drakes and Wolves while transporting the eggs. Drakes can attack from the air, and Wolves are fast and aggressive. To mitigate this, bring a strong weapon like a Draugr Fang bow or a Frostner mace, and consider bringing healing items like Health Mead. If you’re playing with friends, assign roles—one person can focus on combat while the other handles transportation.\n\nDragon Eggs do not respawn once collected, so you’ll need to explore multiple Mountain biomes to gather enough eggs for summoning Moder. Each summoning requires three Dragon Eggs, so plan accordingly. If you’re struggling to find eggs, consider exploring further into the map, as larger Mountain biomes tend to have more nests.\n\nFor efficient farming, mark the locations of Dragon Egg Nests on your map. This allows you to revisit areas if you need additional eggs later. Additionally, consider building a small outpost near the Mountain biome to store supplies and rest between trips. This can save time and reduce the risk of losing progress due to death.\n\nIn summary, finding and farming Dragon Eggs requires preparation, exploration, and careful transportation. Equip yourself with Frost Resistance gear, clear paths for carts or ships, and be ready to defend against hostile creatures. By following these steps, you’ll be well-prepared to summon Moder and progress further in Valheim.
