Between the two damage types, it is one of the top weapons in the game already just based on raw numbers, but also being one-handed and cheap almost makes the game too easy if you go for it early. This massive ball of spikes on a stick deals both blunt and piercing damage and is remarkably fast to swing for its size.

OK, so this weapon doesn’t have the most intimidating name of all time, but the Porcupine lets its stats do the talking. You’ll need 20 Chitin, four fine wood, and two leather scraps. The Abyssal razor is also one of the cheaper weapons on this list. If you pair it with some armor that buffs your stealth, you can become more of a Viking assassin than Eivior from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. If you can sneak up on a foe and hit them with a backstab, the Abyssal razor will deal 10 times as much damage. Yes, the normal damage looks like it wouldn’t be worth much even when you factor in how fast knives attack, but this blade is ideal for all you stealth players out there. The other Abyssal weapon might seem like a step down since it is just a knife, but the razor is much more powerful than you might expect. Ymir Flesh has to be purchased from the merchant Haldor in the Black Forest, while freeze glands and silver must be collected in a mountain biome. What’s the downside? This bad boy is considered the most expensive weapon to make in the entire game, but as an end-game goal, it will be worth all the time it takes to get.įrostner needs 30 silver, five Ymir Flesh, 10 ancient bark, and five freeze glands. Between the damage of the initial hit, the frost dealing damage over time, and the stagger it causes, there are very few enemies that can stand up to the might of Frostner. It does a nice amount of blunt damage, but the real use of this weapon comes in it also inflicting frost and spirit damage, as well as causing a ton of knockback to any enemy unlucky enough to get hit by it. It is classified as an axe but is as big and thick as a hammer. The Frostner axe is basically the most Viking weapon in the entire game. Chitin is collected by mining abyssal barnacles out in the ocean near islands. It pairs great with a stronger melee weapon too if you use it to pull in a target and then switch.Ĭrafting the Abyssal harpoon costs 30 pieces of Chitin, eight fine wood, and three leather scraps. It isn’t the strongest weapon in terms of pure damage, but we find it the best overall due to its range, utility, and just how fun it is to harpoon something and drag it around. This is perfect for hunting any creature that has a tendency to run away, dragging sea creatures out of the water to die on dry land, or if you’re working on your Scorpion impression from Mortal Kombat. It is a one-handed weapon that you throw at your target and can then draw back toward yourself, almost like a certain axe from another Norse-inspired game. What we consider to be the best weapon in all of Valheim is also the only harpoon the game has to offer, at least at the moment. Here are all the best weapons you can get in the game, and what materials you’ll need to find in order to make them. These will cost you some of the rarest materials you can find in Valheim but are the only ones worthy of a true Viking. The best of the best are special weapons with their own unique names and abilities, but that kind of power isn’t just handed to you. There are several different types of weapons - such as axes, swords, and bows - but they are far from equal in terms of power.
