The primary goal is to create an Abyssal Harpoon, a hunting tool made out of Fine Wood, Chitin and Leather Scraps.

Take this advantage away, however, and sea serpent encounters will be trivialized. Their mobility will be far greater than that of any Viking boat that isn’t riding the wind or the waves. Sea serpents have the home advantage over players in the Ocean. These monsters can only be encountered in the Ocean biome, and due to how sailing works in the game, fighting sea serpents can prove to be challenging at first. Abyssal harpoons require Chitin, a material that can only be found on KrakensĪmong the many creatures in “Valheim,” the sea serpents are the more difficult ones to deal with.

#VALHEIM ABYSSAL HARPOON USE HOW TO#
How it works How to use the abyssal harpoon Once you have the required resources, the abyssal harpoon can be crafted at a level 2 workbench. Once the Leviathan wakes up, you have about 20 seconds before it submerges beneath the water. Make sure your ship is close by so you don’t drown. The danger here is that it will submerge all the way, leaving you to swim, which will quickly sap your stamina. Once you start mining each barnacle, there is a 10% chance the Leviathan will wake up and begin dramatically submerging itself into the water. You can mine abyssal barnacles with any type of pickaxe, but be warned.

Chitin is a resource only found on Leviathans, which are small green islands that you’ll randomly find while sailing across the Ocean biome. Leather scraps come from boars, and fine wood can be gathered while chopping down birch and oak trees in the Meadows using a bronze axe or better. How to craft it How to get the Valheim abyssal harpoon Just get out into the world and explore, and you’ll eventually, probably, figure it out. So, if you want to keep everything in the game fresh, you might want to simply skip this whole thing. How do you get the Valheim abyssal harpoon? It’s an item you craft, though explaining how to craft it is a big spoiler for one of Valheim’s most enjoyable surprises. There are practical uses for the weapon-slash-tool as well, like harpooning sea serpents and dragging them to shore (so their scales don’t sink when they’re killed) or pulling animals like boars into breeding pens. If you’ve been watching Valheim videos, you’ve probably seen players using the Valheim abyssal harpoon for fun experiments, like flinging each other into orbit (not really) or pulling monsters through the air.
