Finding Iron in the Valheim game is indeed a lot of challenges. The first thing you need to do, of course, is to do Pickaxe crafting first.

The problem is the key that you can only find when you beat the second Boss of the Valheim game. This boss has the name Elder Boss. To do Spawning you have to defeat Greydwarf brutes, Greydwarf shamans, and destroy Greydwarf nests. After that you have to look for Burial Chambers in the Black Forest area. And lastly, you will use the red runes to find the Elder’s altar and destroy 3 Ancient Seeds.

When you defeat the Elder Boss you finally have the key to enter Sunken crypts. When you enter, you will have an adventure in the labyrinth area. You can mine the iron using Pick Axe. Every time you see a black mound of mud, that’s where you can pick up these irons. This mound is quite easy for you to find in every corner of the maze. But you must also be prepared with enemy attacks in the form of Slimes and Draugers.

The bigger the mound of mud, the more iron we get. We will have to process this iron further before we can finally use it as raw material for weapons.
