Sunken Crypt Tips and Strategy

Valheim - Sunken Crypts
Sunken Crypts are ruined underground dungeons that are usually filled with water and debris. These incredibly dangerous dungeons can only be accessed by unlocking their entrances with a Swamp Key, obtained by defeating The Elder.

Exploring Sunken Crypts for their highly valuable loot takes a bit more preparation than Burial Chambers and Troll Caves.

Bring Poison Resistance Mead

Craft the Mead Base in the Cauldron Place the Mead Base in the Fermenter

Aside from Draugrs, Sunken Crypts are also inhabited by poisonous monsters such as Blobs and Oozers. Always bring Poison Resistance Mead with you at all times!

Bring Pickaxes

Muddy Pile Scraps can block your path inside Sunken Crypts and can be only destroyed by Pickaxes. These blockades are great sources of Scrap Iron, Leather Scraps, and Withered Bones — Make the most of your time inside these crypts by bringing multiple Pickaxes!
