Needle Arrows deal the most instant damage to summoned bosses and enemies in Valheim. The materials to make them can only be found in the Plains biome.
Fighting from a distance with bows and arrows in Valheim is often one of the easier and more reliable ways to take out the many enemies and creatures in the tenth Norse world, and as players progress into more difficult territory they will need to build stronger. ammo to keep up. There are currently 10 different types of arrows in Valheim, each of which deals piercing damage. Some of the stronger arrows also deal elemental damage, including fire, frost, and poison. However, the arrow with the most piercing damage is the Needle Arrow, which players won't be able to unlock until they reach the Plains biome.
Needle Arrows are easy to craft and have a powerful impact, dealing 62 piercing damage and 15 knockback. While Frost Arrows and Poison Arrows technically do more damage, that damage happens over a longer period of time. Needle Arrows deal instant damage to end fights with various creatures more easily. The Vikings in Walheim discover the recipe for needle arrows when they first defeat the mosquitoes of death and collect their needles. Mortal mosquitoes can be difficult to fight because they are small and fast, but once players have perfected the timing of their attacks, these critters will die in one hit. This is fortunate, because one or two direct hits from a deadly mosquito can be enough to kill the player. Here's how to craft needle arrows and when to use them for the best results in Walheim.
Defeat Death Mosquitoes to craft Needle Arrows in Valheim
For this recipe, players will need to wait until they reach the Valheim's Plains biome. This is usually the last biome the player will encounter and is the only place where players can pick up Fuling Totems, which are used to summon the current final boss, Yaglut. Since the Plains is a high-level area, players are advised to wait to travel to this biome until they get upgraded high-level gear, including the wolf armor set and the Frostner or Silver Sword.
- 4 needles
- 2 feathers
They can get Feathers from seagulls, which can be killed primarily with a bow or javelin. They can also be obtained from chests in the Meadows and Black Forest biomes, from chests in the Burial Chambers, and when chopping beech trees.
Like most other specialty arrows, players can craft needle arrows at a level 4 upgraded workbench. Each batch produces 20 Needle Arrows, and since these are the best all-around arrows to have on hand in difficult biomes, players should try to create as many arrows as possible.
Needle Arrows will be useful against most creatures in all Walheim biomes, including Foulings. Fulings of various classes tend to attack mobs in the Plains biome and gain defensive barriers that must be destroyed before the player can start dealing damage. They can also be useful when fighting Lox. However, players may choose not to use Needle Arrows in the Yaglut fight. While Yaglut is easiest to fight from a distance, he is very resistant to piercing damage. It's best to craft Ice Arrows or Silver Arrows to use against this particular boss.
