The Meadows and Eikthyr Guide

Full of Resources to Get you Started

The Meadows are beginner-friendly biomes that feature serene forests and evergreen landscapes. This is where players drop into after they create a server or jump into an existing server for the first time!

This particular biome is a great source of Raw Meat, Deer Hides, and Leather Scraps due to the abundance of Boars and Deer that roam almost every corner of the Meadows. Necks can also be hunted for their Neck Tails near bodies of water.

Queen Bees are used to build Beehives for your base and can also be obtained in the Meadows by destroying their original beehives inside abandoned structures and houses.

The Meadows is also home of Valheim's first boss, Eikthyr. Click the button below for more information:
