How to Get a Stonecutter in Valheim

In Valheim, the path to survival is paved with sturdy structures, and while wooden buildings provide a good starting point, stone constructions offer enhanced resilience.

 

 

Advancing Through the Bronze Age

 

To delve into stoneworking in Valheim, you must first gain access to metal tools, a process that involves several essential steps.

However, obtaining it requires you to acquire Iron, a valuable resource found in the Swamp biome, and is closely tied to defeating the first two Valheim bosses – Eikhtyr and the Elder.

 

 

Conquering the Swamp Biome

 

Once you've unlocked the ability to forge Bronze, it's time to venture into the treacherous Swamp biome.

Your primary objective in the Swamp biome is to locate Sunken Crypts, dungeons that house valuable resources. To access these crypts, you'll need a Swamp Key, an item acquired by defeating The Elder, the boss of the Black Forest biome. Refer to our guide on facing The Elder, whether you choose to go solo or team up with fellow Vikings.

 

 

Inside the Sunken Crypts, you'll discover Muddy Scrap Piles, large black obstructions that block doorways. Armed with your trusty Pickaxe, you can break these piles to uncover Scrap Iron, a vital resource for crafting the Stonecutter.

 

 

Crafting the Stonecutter

 

Once you have obtained Scrap Iron, you're ready to craft the Stonecutter. Gather the necessary materials:

- x10 Wood

- x2 Iron

- x4 Stone

 

 

With these resources in hand, follow these steps:

1. Open your Inventory and select the Hammer.
