How To Mount Your Trophies in Valheim

Did you know that in Valheim, you can display your defeated enemies as mounted trophies? This feature allows you to showcase your achievements throughout your Viking adventure. Whether it’s a trophy from the fearsome Abomination or any other boss, mounting trophies is a straightforward process once you know what you need. Follow this guide to learn exactly how to mount your trophies and decorate your base with your greatest victories.

Crafting the Item Stand

To mount your trophies, you’ll first need to craft an item stand. This requires three key materials:

Fine wood

Bronze nails

Access to a workbench

Gathering Your Materials

Fine wood is obtained by chopping down birch trees. Bronze is created by combining tin and copper at a smelter. Once you have bronze, head to your workbench and craft bronze nails—this is a crucial step that many players overlook. You must specifically make the bronze nails before you can craft the item stand itself. After unlocking the bronze nails, you’ll then be able to unlock the item stand recipe at your workbench.

Mounting Your Trophy

Once you have your item stand crafted and placed, mounting a trophy is simple. You can either find trophies by defeating enemies and looting their drops, or spawn them in if you’re in creative mode.

Step-by-Step Mounting Process

Obtain or loot a trophy from a defeated enemy

Place the trophy into a usable hotbar slot—for example, slot six on your usability bar

Approach the item stand you’ve placed in your base

Press the corresponding hotbar key (such as 6) to attach the trophy to the stand

Pro Tips for Trophy Mounting

Keep in mind that item stands aren’t limited to trophies alone—you can attach any item to them. However, the most common use is displaying trophies from your adventures. The key thing to remember is to prioritize crafting bronze nails as soon as you have bronze, since this is the step that typically confuses players. Don’t assume that simply having bronze will let you make the item stand; you need to craft the nails first.

Conclusion

Mounting trophies in Valheim is an easy way to commemorate your victories and add personality to your base. By gathering fine wood, creating bronze nails, and crafting an item stand, you’ll have everything you need to display your hardest-won achievements. Remember the one common stumbling block: always make sure to craft those bronze nails before attempting to build the item stand itself. Now get out there, defeat more enemies, and decorate your Viking hall with pride!
