How To Break Rocks

    In the Viking-inspired adventure of Valheim, breaking stone is a crucial task for crafting and building.

 

Boss’s Loot

 

    To break rocks, you will need to get a Pickaxe. The first one you can make is the "Antler Pickaxe," which requires deer antlers obtained by defeating the first boss, Eikthyr.

 

 

Craft a Hammer and Workbench

 

    To craft a pickaxe you will need to create a Hammer. To make this tool, you'll need 3 wood and 2 stones. Open the crafting menu by pressing Tab on your keyboard.

 

 

Craft a Workbench

 

    Equip your hammer and open the crafting menu, then select the workbench option and place it. To protect your workbench from the elements, consider placing it inside a shelter.

 

 

Equip a Pickaxe and Find the Rocks

 

    You'll need a pickaxe to effectively break rocks. Now you can explore one at the workbench.

    Rocks can be found scattered throughout the game world. They are typically grayish and often have a round, boulder-like appearance.

 

 

Swing the Pickaxe

 

    Approach the rock and use your pickaxe to swing at it. You can do this by left-clicking on your mouse or using the corresponding control on your gamepad.

 

 

    As you hit the rock with your pickaxe, it will break into smaller pieces. You can collect resources such as Stone, Flint, and sometimes ore like Copper or Tin from the broken rocks.

 

Conclusion

 

    Now that you've mastered the art of breaking rocks in Valheim, you can clear the way for your Viking adventures and construction projects. Whether you're seeking valuable resources or transforming the landscape, these techniques will serve you well.
