Valheim - List of Biomes.png
This is a comprehensive guide on Biomes (Zones) in Valheim. Read on to learn all there is to know about the different Biomes in Valheim!

What are Biomes?

Regions of Valheim

The land of Valheim is split into different regions called biomes. These biomes have their own visual design that will help you differentiate them from each other. You can see your current biome in the map on the upper right.

Have their Own Creatures and Resources

Not only do the biomes look different from each other, they also have different content waiting for you inside. Each biome will contain their own creatures and resources that can only be found in that biome. Each biome you go through will become more dangerous so you will want to craft better gear before venturing into a new one!

Ocean

Valheim - Ocean Biome.png
The Ocean, as the name suggests, is the large body of water that covers the vast majority of Valheim's map. These biomes can be explored by building Rafts, Karves, and Longships.

Those brave enough to sail through these Serpent-infested waters may spot a particular creature called a Leviathan. These island-looking creatures are currently the only source of Chitin in Valheim, without resorting to cheats. There are plans for future updates to expand this biome, comback soon for any updates!

The Deep North is a barren wasteland of rock and ice. Currently, there is nothing that inhabit these lands — not even trees.

Ashlands

The Ashlands are fiery wastelands that are currently inhabited by Surtlings only. This particular biome seems to be the only place to obtain Flametal Ores without cheats.

Mistlands

Valheim - Mistlands Biome.png
The Mistlands are especially spooky biomes that seem to be perpetually covered in darkness.

Gigantic spider webs are spotted within this biome — which suggests the addition of an arachnid-type boss or monster once Valheim's fourth planned update arrives!
