Eyescream in Valheim: The Level-3 Cauldron Food With the Mountains' Highest Stamina Gain
Eyescream is the wiki's own "Crispy cool and creamy" entry in Valheim's food list — a Mountain-tier dish cooked only in a level 3 Cauldron, built from Greydwarf eye x3 and Freeze gland x1. Eat one and the source lists 21 health, 65 stamina, and a 1,500-second duration, plus a line the wiki doesn't hedge on: it's "the highest stamina gain in the Mountains at 65." Here's exactly what the source documents about the recipe, the numbers, and what still isn't stated anywhere in it.
What Eyescream Is
The article's own intro line calls it plainly: "Eyescream is a Mountain-tier food." Its in-game description, quoted verbatim from the infobox, is "Crispy cool and creamy." Beyond flavor text, the infobox documents it as:
- Type: Food
- Source: Cauldron (level 3)
- Usage: Eating
- Weight: 0.5
- Stack size: 10
- Teleportable: Yes
That weight and stack matter together: a full stack of ten costs 5.0 total inventory weight (10 × 0.5). The infobox also flags Eyescream itself as teleportable — the source doesn't say anything about portal rules for other items, so this article only claims what's stated for Eyescream: you can carry it through a portal.
The Recipe: Cauldron Level 3, Two Ingredients
The recipe itself is short and the source is specific about the station tier required:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Greydwarf eye | 3 |
| Freeze gland | 1 |
Cooked in a Cauldron upgraded to level 3 — not level 1 or 2. The page doesn't say what a level 1 or 2 Cauldron can or can't make, only that Eyescream specifically requires level 3, so treat "needs level 3" as the one hard gate the source confirms rather than a broader claim about every recipe on that station.
Where either ingredient drops is undocumented in this source. The Eyescream page itself doesn't name a creature, biome, or method for farming Greydwarf eye or Freeze gland — it only lists them as recipe inputs — so don't treat any specific farming route as confirmed by this page.
Health, Stamina, and Duration by the Numbers
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Health | 21 |
| Stamina | 65 |
| Duration | 1,500 (seconds) |
| Healing rate | 1 hp/tick |
The duration figure is worth converting: 1,500 seconds ÷ 60 = 25 minutes of active buff per eat. The infobox lists healing as 1 hp/tick, but the source doesn't state how long a "tick" is here, so the total number of ticks over that 25-minute window — and therefore how the 21 health total gets delivered — is undocumented rather than something this page lets you calculate.
The one comparative claim the source does make explicitly, quoted rather than paraphrased: Eyescream provides "the highest stamina gain in the Mountains at 65." That's a stated ranking against other Mountain-biome foods, not a guess.
Where the Numbers Point
Put the documented facts together and Eyescream reads as a stamina-first pick rather than a healing-first one: 65 stamina against 21 health is a lopsided split, and the source's own note about it topping Mountain-food stamina gains backs that reading up. At 0.5 weight and a 10-item stack, carrying enough for a long Mountain trip costs little pack space, and being teleportable means you can portal a batch out to a Mountain outpost instead of walking it in. Beyond that split, the source is quiet: it names no cook time for the Cauldron itself, no comparison to non-Mountain foods, no portal rules for anything besides Eyescream itself, and no ingredient sourcing — so this article sticks to what's actually printed on the page rather than filling those gaps with a guess.
Practical tips
- Upgrade your Cauldron to level 3 before you queue Eyescream — the source lists no lower-tier option.
- Bring both ingredients, not just one: Greydwarf eye x3 and Freeze gland x1 are both required per the recipe.
- A full stack of 10 weighs only 5.0 total (10 × 0.5), so it's cheap to overpack for a Mountain trip.
- It's teleportable, so restock through a portal instead of carrying it overland.
- Treat it as the stamina pick for the Mountains — the source names it the top stamina-gain food there, not the top healing food.
Running your own Valheim server
A 25-minute buff and a 1,500-second Mountain trip both assume a world clock that's still running when you log back in. A gamever Valheim server keeps that clock — and your Cauldron — persistent around the clock, so a cooking session started before you log off is still there when you're back.
Conclusion
Eyescream is a Mountain-tier food cooked at a level 3 Cauldron from Greydwarf eye x3 and Freeze gland x1, delivering 21 health, 65 stamina, and a 1,500-second (25-minute) duration at 1 hp/tick. The source calls it out by name as "the highest stamina gain in the Mountains at 65," which is the article's one confirmed comparative claim. What the page doesn't say — where either ingredient drops, how long a healing tick actually is, how a level 1 or 2 Cauldron compares, or what portal rules apply to anything besides Eyescream itself — is left undocumented here rather than guessed at. What is documented: at 0.5 weight, a 10-stack, and teleportable status, it's a light, portable stamina food built specifically for the biome its own tier name points to.
