A new update is available for Valheim! See the patch notes below.
This is a guide to Sunken Crypts, one of the available dungeons in Valheim. Read on to learn general information, possible enemies, available loot, strategy for Sunken Crypts, and more!
List of Contents
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.

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!
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!
List of Pickaxes
Sunken Crypts are located in the Swamp and can be distinguished by their lit entrances that resemble mausoleums. These entrances can only be unlocked with a Swamp Key from defeating Valheim's second boss, The Elder.
