Blood Pudding in Valheim: A Plains-Tier Food for 25 Health and 75 Stamina

 

    Blood pudding is a Plains-tier food in Valheim, cooked at a Cauldron rather than found or foraged. The wiki's own flavor text calls it "bloody tasty," and the numbers back that up: +25 health, +75 stamina, and a 2 hp/tick healing bump, all for a 3-ingredient recipe that needs an upgraded kitchen to unlock. Here is exactly what it costs, what it gives, and what the source material leaves unstated.

 

What Blood Pudding Is

 

 

    The wiki classifies blood pudding plainly: "Blood pudding is a Plains-tier food." Its item ID is BloodPudding, its type is Food, and its usage is listed simply as Eating — the source data lists no other usage field for this item. It is produced at a Cauldron (level 4), meaning the base Cauldron alone is not enough; the recipe only appears once that station has been upgraded to its fourth tier. The source material does not specify which particular upgrade structures are required to reach level 4 — that detail is undocumented in this record, so don't assume a specific building order without checking the Cauldron's own upgrade path.

 

The Recipe

 

 

    The wiki states the recipe directly: "Blood pudding is produced at a level 4 Cauldron with: Thistle x2, Bloodbag x2, Barley flour x4." That's eight total items per pudding (2 + 2 + 4 = 8) for one unit of food. The source data does not say where Thistle or Bloodbags are obtained, nor how Barley flour is milled — those sourcing chains are undocumented here, so treat them as separate lookups rather than assuming a single gathering trip covers all three ingredients.

 

The Numbers It Delivers

 

 

    The infobox lists four stat fields: health 25, stamina 75, duration 1800, healing 2 hp/tick. The duration field is given in seconds, so 1800 ÷ 60 = 30 minutes of active buff per meal. The wiki's own notes section adds a specific claim worth quoting directly rather than paraphrasing: "Blood pudding provides the highest stamina gain in the Plains at 75." That's a category claim (highest among Plains-tier foods specifically), not a claim about every food in the game, and the source does not list the competing Plains foods' stamina values for a side-by-side check — so treat "highest in the Plains" as the wiki's own stated ranking, not something independently re-verified here.

 

Weight, Stacking and What Isn't Documented

 

    Blood pudding weighs 1.0 per unit and stacks to 10 in an inventory slot, so a full stack is 10.0 total weight — light enough to carry alongside gear without eating into carry capacity. It is also flagged teleportable: Yes, meaning it can pass through a portal without the restriction that blocks certain raw ores and metals. Two fields the source leaves blank deserve an explicit callout rather than a guess: the infobox has no buy or sell value populated, so whether blood pudding can be traded with an NPC merchant is undocumented in this record; and the effect field is empty too, meaning there is no listed secondary status effect beyond the health/stamina/healing numbers already covered above. Don't read either blank as "zero" or "none" — they mean the source simply didn't record a value.

 

Practical tips

• Cook at a level 4 Cauldron — the base Cauldron won't show this recipe.
• Recipe: Thistle x2, Bloodbag x2, Barley flour x4 — 8 items per pudding.
• +25 health, +75 stamina, 2 hp/tick healing, 30-minute duration (1800s ÷ 60).
• The wiki calls its 75 stamina the highest stamina gain among Plains foods.
• Weighs 1.0, stacks to 10 — a full stack is 10.0 total weight.
• Teleportable: Yes, so it travels through portals without restriction.
• Buy/sell price and any secondary effect are undocumented in the source data.

 

Running your own Valheim server

 

    A level 4 Cauldron, its ingredient chain, and a stack of blood pudding are exactly the kind of progress that a bad crash or an unstable host can erase. A gamever Valheim server keeps that kitchen and the world it's built in running around the clock, with one-click backups so an upgraded Cauldron setup is never rebuilt from scratch.

 

Conclusion

 

    Blood pudding is a Plains-tier Valheim food cooked at a level 4 Cauldron from Thistle x2, Bloodbag x2, and Barley flour x4 — eight ingredients for one unit. It delivers +25 health, +75 stamina, and 2 hp/tick healing for 30 minutes (1800 seconds), and the source wiki singles it out as the highest stamina gain among Plains-tier foods. It weighs 1.0, stacks to 10, and passes through portals without restriction. What the source doesn't cover — its buy/sell price, any secondary effect, and the exact path to a level 4 Cauldron — is worth checking elsewhere before you plan around it.
