How to make bronze in Valheim
Here are the basic steps for crafting bronze in Valheim.
- Collect the copper and tin ore.
- Melt the ore into ingots.
- Combine ingots in a forge to make bronze.
To craft bronze in Valheim, you need a foundry and a smithy. A foundry can be crafted using 20 stones and 5 surtling cores. The stone can be found everywhere, but Surtling's Cores can only be found in burial chambers in the Black Forest biome. You won't be able to access this area until you defeat the game's first boss, Eikthyr. A forge can be crafted using 6 brass, 10 wood, 4 stones, and 4 coals.
Once you have built a foundry, you need to gather additional materials to create bronze. Bronze is made by combining copper and tin, so you will need to do some mining. You will need an Antler Pickaxe for this process, which can be crafted using Eikthyr Coins. With your pickaxe in hand, go in search of copper and tin ore. Copper is found in the Black Forest biome and has a greenish color. Pewter is found near water and has a very shiny appearance.
Bring the raw ore back to your base and dump it in your smelter to create copper and tin ingots. When you smell the two ingots for the first time, you unlock the bronze recipe. Once the recipe is unlocked, you can combine the two metals from your forge to make bronze. A Bronze Ingot requires two Copper Ingots and one Tin Ingot, so be sure to stock up on these materials while in the Black Forest.
Valheim is now available on PC. The game is currently in Early Access on Steam and will remain in Early Access for at least a year.
