How to Use Harpoon in Valheim
Crafting the Abyssal Harpoon,
To craft the abyssal harpoon, you'll need the following materials:
- Chitin x30
- Fine wood x8
- Leather scraps x3
Most of these materials can be obtained relatively easily. Leather scraps can be acquired from boars, while fine wood can be gathered by chopping down birch and oak trees in the Meadows biome using a bronze axe or better.
Now, here's the tricky part: Chitin. This valuable resource can only be found on Leviathans, which are small green islands scattered throughout the Ocean biome. When you come across a Leviathan, sail close to it and climb onto its surface. You'll notice abyssal barnacles on its back.

Use any type of pickaxe to mine these abyssal barnacles. But beware, there's a 10% chance that the Leviathan will awaken and submerge dramatically into the water. Ensure your ship is nearby, so you don't drown while dealing with this underwater giant.
Once you've gathered the required materials, head to a level 2 workbench to craft your very own abyssal harpoon.

Using the Abyssal Harpoon

The abyssal harpoon is not just your typical weapon; it's a multipurpose tool. Here's how you can use it effectively:
Equip the abyssal harpoon in your weapon slot. Click the attack button to throw the harpoon like a spear. When it hits a creature or even a player, it acts as a leash, connecting you to them.

When you harpoon a creature, it can't escape because the weapon brings it back to you.

The connection between you and the harpooned target can be broken in several ways:
- Attacking the creature with the harpoon again or with another weapon.
- Moving too far away from the leashed target.
- Running out of stamina while keeping the creature leashed.
- Attempting to drag the target through impassable terrain or structures.

Utility in Valheim
The abyssal harpoon's utility extends beyond combat. Here are some practical applications:
Relocating Creatures: Use it to move creatures like boars into pens or desired locations.
Drag Sea Serpents to land after defeating them, making their valuable drops accessible.

Finally, the Abyssal Harpoon is not an everyday weapon; this item can be considered as a universal thing for any player. The presented item demonstrates great variability and utillity that makes it irreplaceable in this game.
