How to craft the Stagbreaker hammer.
To start, you have to beat the very first Boss in the game to get to the second biome, Black Forest. Then, as you normally would, set up a base with a base workshop and whatever is needed to survive. When you are up and running, you need to start cultivating the materials needed for the hammer. You need the following:
- Corewood x20
- Deer Trophies x5
- Pieces of Leather x2
Starting with the Core wood, it can be obtained via Fir and pine flora. The moment you get your first pile of Core Wood, the Stagbreaker Hammer blueprint unlocks.
Regarding Deer trophies come on, you should have realized by now that some animals sometimes leave certain trophies, after you hunt them down. These are no exception, so of course you have to hunt a certain number of deer to get them. Leather scraps can be found in any animal like wild boars and the like, so hunt down a few to get them. Also, Meadows is the best place to start growing these.
Having all of these, you can start crafting your awesome hammer. Please note that you also need a level 2 crafting table, so be sure to upgrade it, as you should of course continue. I can't even stress how useful it is when facing waves of enemies like the Gray Dwarves, so be sure to abuse this weapon as much as possible. If you need a remote alternative to hunting wildlife, here's how to create the Finewood Bow early on.
Valheim is now available via Steam Early Access.
