Bonemaw Meat in Valheim: Where It Drops, the Cooking Recipe, and Full Stats

Bonemaw meat is a guaranteed drop from the Bonemaw, a serpent found in the boiling waters of the Ashlands, and the wiki's own item description calls it plainly: "A tasty, white fish meat. Very good for your bones!" Cooked at an Iron cooking station over a lit Campfire, it turns into Cooked bonemaw meat — a food that delivers 90 health, 30 stamina, and 1,500 seconds of duration (that works out to 25 minutes, shown below) at 6 hp/tick healing. Here is every stat the source data records for both the raw and cooked forms, where the raw meat drops, and what the source does and doesn't cover.
Raw Bonemaw Meat: Item Stats
Straight from the item's infobox, with nothing added:
- Item ID:
BoneMawSerpentMeat - Type: Material
- Description: "A tasty, white fish meat. Very good for your bones!"
- Source: Bonemaw
- Used at: Iron cooking station
- Weight: 10.0
- Stack size: 50
- Teleportable: Yes
That weight and stack size combine into a heavy full load: 50 items × 10.0 weight each = 500 total weight for a maxed-out stack of raw Bonemaw meat — this item's own fields multiplied together, nothing borrowed from any other food. The source's own notes flag exactly this: Bonemaw meat "is very heavy, it is best to avoid carrying unnecessarily too much of it."
Cooking It Into Cooked Bonemaw Meat

The source is explicit about the process: it "can be cooked on an Iron cooking station over a lit Campfire to obtain Cooked bonemaw meat, or Coal if overcooked." The recipe uses 1x Bonemaw meat per Cooked bonemaw meat. Its flavor text changes once cooked, too: "The boiling sea did nothing to this meat, but grilling it over the fire has given it a delightful crisp."
The cooked item's recorded stats:
- Item ID:
CookedBoneMawSerpentMeat - Type: Food
- Health: 90
- Stamina: 30
- Duration: 1500 (seconds, per the source field) — 1500 ÷ 60 = 25 minutes, shown as computed rather than just restated
- Healing: 6 hp/tick
- Weight: 10.0
- Stack size: 50
- Teleportable: Yes
The cooked item's own teleport flag is Yes, same field as the raw item — that's this item's own recorded value, not a general claim about any other food.
Where Bonemaw Meat Drops

The source's availability table records a single row: the Bonemaw creature drops 6–7 Bonemaw meat per kill. That's the only tier the drop table lists — no separate star-level breakdown is given, so any scaling by creature star level is undocumented in this data set.
The intro text places the source directly: Bonemaw meat "is a guaranteed drop from Bonemaws located in the boiling waters of the Ashlands. After slaying the serpent, the meat will float for a considerable time" — worth knowing before you swim off, since a kill's yield needs collecting rather than being handed straight to your inventory.
Multiplying the drop count by the item's own weight shows what a single kill is worth carrying: 6 × 10.0 = 60, and 7 × 10.0 = 70 total weight from one Bonemaw, before it's even cooked.
Usage, Weight, and What the Source Doesn't Cover

The source's usage list for raw Bonemaw meat records exactly two outcomes:
- Cooked bonemaw meat (at an Iron cooking station)
- Coal — but only "if left on an Iron cooking station for too long," per the source's own wording
The source's own notes also state plainly: "Bonemaw meat is not used for any crafted foods." Despite feeding into a high-healing cooked dish, the raw item itself doesn't appear as an ingredient anywhere else in the source data used here. Where else the Bonemaw itself can be found beyond "the boiling waters of the Ashlands," and whether it has star-level variants at all, are both undocumented in this data set.
Quick reference
- Raw Bonemaw meat: Material, weight 10.0, stack 50, teleportable.
- A full raw stack weighs 50 × 10.0 = 500 total.
- Cooked at an Iron cooking station over a lit Campfire — 1x raw meat per cooked meat.
- Cooked bonemaw meat: 90 health, 30 stamina, 6 hp/tick healing, 1500-second (25-minute) duration.
- The Bonemaw drops 6–7 meat per kill — 60–70 total weight before cooking; no star-tier breakdown is given.
- Raw Bonemaw meat isn't used in any other crafted food, per the source's own notes.
- Left too long on the cooking station, it turns to Coal instead.
Running your own Valheim server
Tracking a heavy stack like this matters more once a group is hauling it home together instead of one player alone — a persistent world keeps everyone's cooking stations, stored stacks and Ashlands runs intact around the clock instead of tied to whoever's hosting that night. A gamever Valheim server gives your group of up to 10 players an always-on world with one-click setup, so nobody has to leave their own game running just to keep the Iron cooking station fed.
Conclusion
Bonemaw meat is a heavy Material item — weight 10.0, stack 50, teleportable, 500 total for a full stack — that turns into a 90-health, 30-stamina Food item with 6 hp/tick healing over a 1500-second (25-minute) duration once run through an Iron cooking station over a lit Campfire. It's a guaranteed drop from the Bonemaw in the boiling waters of the Ashlands, at 6–7 meat per kill (60–70 total weight before cooking), and the source's own notes confirm it isn't used in any other crafted food. Star-level drop scaling and any other Bonemaw locations aren't broken out in the source data used here.
