How to Find Silver in Valheim

Silver is a valuable resource in Valheim that you’ll need for crafting and progression. However, locating silver veins isn’t straightforward — it requires defeating a specific boss and using a special item to track down deposits. This guide will walk you through the exact steps to find and mine silver efficiently.

Defeat the Bone Mass Boss

Before you can search for silver, you must defeat the Bone Mass boss. This is a mandatory step in your silver-hunting journey. Once you’ve defeated Bone Mass, he will drop an item called a Wishbone.

Use the Wishbone to Locate Silver

After obtaining the Wishbone from Bone Mass, equip it in your inventory. Travel to a mountain biome and the Wishbone will activate, surrounding you with green, glowing lights when you’re near a silver vein. This mechanic works similarly to a “hotter or colder” game — the closer you get to silver, the more intense the glow becomes.

As you move closer to the silver deposit, you’ll eventually hear a loud alarm sound, indicating you’ve found the exact location of a vein.

Mining Silver with Your Pickaxe

Once you’ve located a silver vein using the Wishbone alarm, equip your pickaxe and begin digging downward. Silver veins can be quite large and extensive, so be prepared to excavate a substantial hole to fully extract all the silver ore.

Continue mining through the vein until you’ve collected all available silver ore from the deposit.

Best Locations for Silver Deposits

An important tip: focus your search on larger mountains in the mountain biome. Smaller peaks and mountains are less likely to contain silver veins, so prioritize exploring expansive mountain ranges for better success rates.

Summary

Finding silver in Valheim requires a specific sequence: defeat Bone Mass to obtain the Wishbone, equip it while exploring large mountains, listen for the alarm sound to pinpoint vein locations, and mine with your pickaxe. Remember to explore larger mountain formations for the best chances of discovering silver deposits. With patience and the right tools, you’ll have plenty of silver for your crafting needs.
