Muckshake in Valheim: The Swamp-Tier Smoothie for 50 Stamina

    Valheim's Swamp biome is stamina-hungry work — swinging at Draugr, wading through Muck, and dodging Leeches all drain the bar fast. Muckshake is a Swamp-tier food that adds 16 health and 50 stamina for 1,200 seconds, cooked from three ingredients most players are already hauling out of the Swamp anyway. The wiki's own in-game description is blunt about the point of it: "Wakes you up!" This article breaks down exactly what that wake-up costs to cook and what it delivers once it's down.

 

What Muckshake Is

 

Card listing Muckshake's full infobox stats.

 

    The wiki states plainly that "Muckshake is a Swamp-tier food." It's made at a Cauldron, its usage type is listed as Eating, and its infobox flags it as teleportable: Yes. It weighs 1.0 per unit and stacks up to 10 in a single inventory slot, so a full stack tops out at 1.0 × 10 = 10 weight of carried food — identical carry cost to most other Cauldron-made foods.

 

The Recipe: Ooze, Raspberries, and Blueberries at Cauldron Level Two

 

Card showing the three ingredients required to cook Muckshake.

 

    The wiki is specific about the cooking requirement: "Muckshake is produced in a level 2 Cauldron with: Blueberries x2, Ooze x1, Raspberries x2." A base-tier Cauldron won't cut it — it needs the one-time upgrade first. The full ingredient list is:

 

  • Ooze x1
  • Raspberries x2
  • Blueberries x2

 

    That's five items total per batch, split two-two-one across the berries and the Ooze. The Muckshake wiki page doesn't state where to farm Ooze, Raspberries, or Blueberries — that's undocumented by this source, so check each ingredient's own page before planning a Cauldron run around it.

 

The Numbers: Health, Stamina, Duration, and Where It Ranks

 

Card breaking down Muckshake's health, stamina, duration, and carry stats.

 

    The infobox lists a duration of 1200, which the wiki records in seconds. Converting that: 1200 ÷ 60 = 20 minutes — a full 20-minute buff window from one shake. Alongside that duration, Muckshake adds 16 health and 50 stamina, plus a listed healing rate of 1 hp per tick.

 

    That healing figure is where the source runs out of detail: the wiki gives the rate as "1 hp/tick" but doesn't state how long a tick lasts, so the total passive healing delivered across the full 20-minute duration is undocumented here — there isn't enough information in this source to multiply it out honestly. What the wiki does spell out is where the stamina number ranks: "Muckshake provides the second highest stamina gain in the Swamps at 50, second to Turnip stew at 55." That's a five-point gap from the top Swamp-tier stamina food, quoted directly rather than paraphrased since it's a specific ranking claim. The same weight of 1.0 and stack size of 10 covered above apply per-serving regardless of how the buff plays out.

 

Quick reference

  • Swamp-tier food, cooked at a level 2 Cauldron.
  • Recipe: Ooze x1 + Raspberries x2 + Blueberries x2.
  • Adds 16 health and 50 stamina.
  • Duration is 1200 seconds — 1200 ÷ 60 = 20 minutes.
  • Healing rate is listed as 1 hp/tick; tick length is undocumented, so total healing delivered isn't calculable from this source.
  • Wiki ranking: second-highest Swamp stamina food, five points behind Turnip stew's 55.
  • Weight 1.0, stack size 10, and it is teleportable.
  • Ingredient farming locations for Ooze, Raspberries, and Blueberries aren't covered on this recipe page.

 

Running your own Valheim server

 

    A level 2 Cauldron, the ingredients stacked up for it, and a Swamp run planned around a stamina food like this are exactly the kind of progress a bad crash shouldn't be able to wipe out. A gamever Valheim server keeps that Cauldron, its unlocked recipes, and your full pantry intact for up to 10 players, with one-click backups so a stocked kitchen survives a restart the same way it survives a Draugr ambush.

 

Conclusion

 

    Muckshake is a Swamp-tier food cooked at a level 2 Cauldron from Ooze, Raspberries, and Blueberries. It trades toward stamina over health, adding 16 health and 50 stamina for 1,200 seconds (20 minutes) — the wiki's own ranking puts that 50 as the second-highest stamina gain in the Swamps, five points behind Turnip stew's 55. It carries a 1 hp/tick healing rate whose total output isn't spelled out, weighs 1.0, stacks to 10, and is teleportable. What the recipe page doesn't cover is where to actually farm the three ingredients, so budget a separate check on each one before you plan a batch around it.
