5:28 To save anyone else the pain Ive had. Please be aware that if you throw your stuff at the entrance of the crypts with the intention to come back later and collect it, you are risking losing it all. All the dungeons reset periodically. You will know when they reset as the yellow mushrooms grow back. Anything you had dropped in that dungeon will be removed as part of the reset. I lost a ton of iron scrap in this way, when I stopped one irl evening and came back the next morning with the intention of picking up scrap, and other items, I had left in two crypts. It was all gone. I would suggest instead going outside and dropping the items you cant carry down in the swamp biome as it should then remain in the world until you can come back later.

[@93ChristopherC]

I left an old death totem and used it as an extra storage. Lots of room to put other loot and have just what you need for maximum carry capacity!

[@Ironbuket]

​@@93ChristopherC Ive never died in the swamp. Wouldnt like to kill myself on purpose to run naked back just to create some storage. There's skill loss to consider also unless you modded that out. The way I handle crypt farming is as follows: Take small amount of wood and stone + resources for a portal 1. Arrive at crypt 2. Place wood steps on the back edge of crypt (opposite end to door) 3. Use steps to get onto crypt roof 4. Put down workbench 5. Put down portal 6. Go in to crypt 7. Drop campfire near entrance for buff (inside crypt) 8. Farm crypt 9. Take all non-metal items back through portal 10. Throw metal on floor outside crypt entrance 11: When crypt complete, pickup as much iron as you can from floor and run back to base/boat (temp base on edge of swamp prefferable) 12: Use portal to get back to crypt roof 13: Repeat step 11 until all metal picked up and moved to base/boat 14: Portal back to crypt roof, dismantal portal, steps and workbench 15: Goto next crypt 16: Keep going back to step 1 until you get bored or run out of crypts

Tip for gathering iron: Take longship and the mats to make a portal, leave a portal at your base unconnected and named whatever you want. Go explore your world map, drop down your portal twin when you need to repair or drop off loot at base. My brother and I did this for farming iron. We would put the workbench behind the crypts, this allows you to climb up and jump on top of the crypt and put the portal on the roof where it's safe and out of the way from enemies. We were able to dump all loot that could go through portals at home and put only the scrap iron on the longship. 30 (stack of iron) × 18 (slots on longship) = 540 iron. It was so satisfying to bring that haul home. Also the bronze pickaxe is worth upgrading to max level (4) because the durability allows you to clear a crypt with a back up antler pickaxe and a buddy doing the same, sometimes we would finish a crypt without finishing our bronze pickaxe durability. Currently I run a level 4 bronze pickaxe with a level 3 iron pickaxe. I treat the bronze pickaxe as my general purpose one and the iron for silver and obsidian exclusively. The less often you repair, the more time you save, the more you get done.

[@Rouxkat]

Cave and crypt tip: Always turn in the same direction, eg. when you get to an intersection, always take the left turn, you will make your way through every room, if you are halfway and want to exit, just turn around and turn right in every direction, you can't get lost this way.

[@Rouxkat]

@ToxicBox Gaming the only exception is if there is pillar type chambers where it's not connected to the outside wall. However Valheim's cave and dungeon sprites don't spawn that way, the same as real life caves in nature. It only really happens in human made mines (which one should never enter anyway) or if a designer intentionally design a maze that way. But lucky works in Valheim

[@metasense7032]

quicktip: After you defeat the Bonemass you get wishbone wish enables you to locate muddy piles in the swamp biome outside of the crypts where you usually go for iron.

[@JohnA...]

Couple tips for the crypts and metal gathering. The sledge hammers damage goes through walls, so you can actually kill the enemies through doors and scrap piles without risking any damage from the enemies on the other side. Its takes a little bit of time for them to be close enough to the door/pile, but with the blunt damage it does kill off the skeletons/slimes/drauger quite effectively. The boats have limited storage on them, especially the Karve with only 4 slots... however you can actually fit a cart on them and travel around with all that extra storage. One fits nicely on the Karve on the rudder side, and you can get 4 easily on the long boat (though thats almost overkill there). You do have to be careful with storms though as they can toss the carts off the boats. The only things that don't go though the portals are the ingots and ore, so you can post a portal near (or on top) the crypts to transport everything else you get in them so you are only carrying the ore/ingots on your boat. This also gives you quick repair access for your tools. When you are done you only have to break the portal down and move it to the next location.

[@julienelson6506]

You make getting iron sound easy. We had a couple of our best fighters go out to get iron and after an hour one said they are not playing the game anymore after fighting several drauger and an abomination but never actually finding a crypt. I am ready to just offer to trade menial labor items for a few scrap iron :) They have me scared

[@michaelsick2564]

thanks for the guide. after searching for 2 days in the swomp and many videos, you the first one that actually explains how to get stuff correctly

[@Nathrezim1453]

Pro tip; make a portal near your boat at the swamps, drop off the iron in the boat and port back to repair the pickaxe. Obviously this is more useful when you have unlocked the Longboat which has tons of storage room. So, you can teleport back and repair the pickaxe, come back and keep mining until the Longboat is full.

[@bt70a9]

That's the most stupid thing i've heard.. Why not just build a forge where you need it? porting back and forth seems like what a noob would do, wtf.

[@Nathrezim1453]

​@@bt70a9 cause with that, you need to build an actual mini-base/outpost and then upgrade the forge to be able to repair your gear. But, if you just pop up a portal, that's it. port through, repair everything, restock on food etc., empty your inventory of any other loot (coins, treasure, entrails, blood bags) if needed and pop back out. As I said, it's a pro tip - plebes won't get it initially so all is good

[@gursh3605]

no the real pro tip is to make a new world pick everything up go the other world then drop it there log into main world go back to home base or keep mining and stock pile all loot in other world, once done on main world go to home and then bring everything from other worlld back to you in maion soorry im drun,k

[@Aldarandir]

Make yourself troll armor. This has a bonus for sneak. Usually, anytime I hear the sound of a creature in a new place I drop to a crouch. Bring a bow with you and many arrows. It is easier to snipe than to melee fight. Never get into a melee fight with a blob, their acid damage lasts about 15 seconds and is a quick way to ruin your day. In the swamp keep to the islands and fallen logs. Leeches are excellent for their blood bags, so killing them on sight is a must. In my game, a water area only has two, maybe three at once time. If you're worried about one sneaking up on you, just keep to land as much as possible. They can't reach you. Finally... If you see a wraith. Never melee it. Keep running away and shoot it with your bow the way you would with a troll.

[@brightstar3197]

I've done a number of crypts where it is easy to get lost. In some crypts you can build cheap post lights, campfires or bonfires. You can also build those lights that go on the walls. I usually bring wood and resin with me. They are so easy get. The lights make it easy to find your way.

@@jbird8808 Couldn't other Vikings have been sent there by Odin too, though? It makes perfect sense to have NPCs.

[@SekiberiusWelkesh]

@@jbird8808 If you are sent there to defeat the bosses then why couldn't others, they don't even need to be human NPC's. I think it would fit, they could offer you services and send you on tasks to do certain things that upon completion can reward you with new recipes, building options and items. They could possibly even be able to help you by farming for you albeit at a slower rate. They could even make it more like terraria's NPCs by having them be able offer different things based upon which biomes they are in. all in all I think it would add a lot of replayability because it would give you another reason to explore, go back to places you otherwise wouldn't, build homesteads in places you wouldn't have and would just give you something else to do. Like for example, imagine you are wondering the plains and you come across a Fuling shaman being attacked by a group of other Fulings, you save it and you offer it to stay at your homestead and it agrees but it's very vengeful and tasks you to destroy those who wronged it in return for offering you Fuling based technologies and items, like items that can do Fuling shaman magic.

To make the process a LOT easier: Go farming for iron on a different world than your "main" one. Be in your base on the main world. Once you've collected so much that you can't carry any more (or your pickaxe is broken): Simply log out, log in to your main world and you'll be standing in your base with a shitload of ore. No carrying, no sailing and way faster.

These guides are awesome!! I am literally still following the Kingdom Come Deliverance guides even after beating the game several times. Every time I start a new game, the first thing I do is follow the treasure chest guides lol Keep up the great work!!!

[@leezensmith775]

something that I learned after trying an Idea, is that you can make the Karve and a cart too where you can put that cart at the front end if the boat { may flip upside down] and use it's inventory instead (18 slots) apposed to the ships inventory (4 slots) Plz like so more people can see this and not be in pain of the multi trips with just the Karve

[@michaeljoynt2836]

these dungeons are also procedurally generated and not always huge. The first two I found were insanely tiny with only 3 rooms, then one with 4 rooms, and yes, I did mine up all the piles of goo, maybe they changed the coding since Feb but still, I love it

[@_lucidxo]

You can also use a cart here efficiently. Bring ~30 wood and 10 bronze nails and drop them by the front. Clear the dungeon of mobs, and start mining all the iron. Drop it all at the entrance whenever you get over-encumbered. Once you’ve mined it all, grab the wood and nails and walk outside to create a cart by the door. Make a few trips of over-encumbered transferring and you’ve got yourself a cart with a tanks worth of iron. Bring to boat, unload, break cart (you get the nails back) and repeat. EDIT: Good luck with the water though lol.

@@dizzyfist7 smash it then lol. When it breaks, even from enemies, it drops the items, wood and nails.

instead of the bow you also can use the stagbreaker do clear the rooms before you remove all of the scrap pile. specially if they hide right around the corner. its very safe.

You can build a base right next to the swamp though. In a meadow biome. That way, you are safe and you can make the gear on the spot. You can teleport gear, but not the minerals themselves.

[@mastershake1876ify]

Pro tip. If you don't want to use a boat to haul it to base. Log out with it in your inventory. Load into another world you have setup so you log in near a chest. Put the ore in a chest then log back into your main world. Telenor back to your main base the repeat the logging method to pull the ore back to your home base.

[@minexer]

This is a so much easier and safer way to transport valuables that cant be teleported

[@MasthaX]

I usually just stack the first chest I find in the crypts full of the Iron I get and pick it up after I cleared the entire thing. And yes, be sure to take about 4 pickaxes, preferably upgraded. If you already have found the trader it's highly recommended to buy and use the megingjord (weight carry from 300 to 450) it just makes things so much easier.

[@Arkalius80]

Draugr are not weak to blunt damage... if they were, you'd see yellow numbers when you damage them with the mace. You see white, which means it's neither a resistance or vulnerability. They have no particular resistances or vulnerabilities (though they seem invulnerable to poison).

[@fortusvictus8297]

True Draugr are not weak or strong against anything, but they are nearly always WET which means they are resistant to being set on fire and weak to frost weapons which do double damage to WET status.

[@corpsyman]

After 2 swamps with no crypt, I found a swamp that had 3. Playing solo I didn't really want to be making constant trips, especially since the location was such that I couldn't put a house and portal all that close, so I built a tiny house attached to the front of each crypt with a fire, workbench and some chests. This way, I could step outside to get my resting bonus back, drop off loot, and repair the antler pickaxe (which for whatever reason, is almost as good as the copper one at digging in mud). When I finished them all, I gathered the ore to one of the crypt-houses and cheesed them back home through a second world. I could have carried them in multiple runs to the boat-house, but I was paranoid about over-encumbering myself onto the boat with it all and possibly getting killed on the water.

Nice, more quality tutorials coming from you! Super useful .. thanks a lot! Small note, there is a useful trinket that adds to carry capacity .. might be useful when hauling lots of ore

Mine the top and use bow for clearing the crypt, specialy when they are respawning also. Best tip off the weekend. Made the Swamp worked out fine for me. Thx. :)

[@voteZDLR]

I am pretty sure the swamp never spawns on the island you start at. Meaning a boat is 100% necessary, if so. Luckily I didn't have to go too far in mine to find it, like the trees are a dead giveaway. It's usually gonna be attached to a Black Forest biome which honestly looks like a normal forest compared to the Swamp biome. In the Swamp, all the trees look like Halloween decorations. That's really the best clue you can have to locate it. Also it might help if you aren't really necessarily looking for it to begin with, for instance I was out looking for Chitin actually when I found my first Swamp biome.

[@gr33dl0cknein3]

Bring materials for a portal and place it right outside the Crypt. This way you can go back to base to repair and resupply. Park the boat as close as possible to the crypt in order to shorten the time of hauling all your iron, because you WILL do several trips back and forth to and from the boat to transport all the iron from the crypt. But make sure the boat itself is several meters away from the shoreline so Draugr and skelies can't destroy it. Which is another reason to bring a portal, in case the boat does get destroyed you aren't completely screwed. Finally I recommend throwing out the iron scraps right before the entrance whilst inside the crypt and hauling it all at the end, after you've completely cleared out the crypt.

[@pcp2522]

Or you can save scum with transfer heavy iron. Start a new game, make a quick lean-to with a chest. You can be overweight, go to your second server drop everything in a chest then go back to your base and server swap to transfer the heavy stuff. As a solo it saves alot of time. I know it's cheese 🧀 but I like grind save.

@@Mattaruu95 The reason they don't have this is to make the game feel more immersive, it is supposed to be risk vs reward kind of scenario.

ESO i got a pro tip for you, its a bit of cheese and people might not like it but you should make a second world, create a small house only for a workbench, a forge and a lot of chests. if you did this and place your character here you can do the following: 1. bypass walking with ores and risking encumberd, you place them in a chest and teleport back 2. extend your resource gattering trips with an infinite amount since you repair tools and store items in the other world 3. people might not get burned from grinding ores

Sooo, you can kinda use the portal with that stuff. Stuff character inventory with what you want to move. Log out and log into a different world where you are close to a bunch of chests. Dump inventory into chests, log back out. Log back in to the main world (repeat to move more stuff) then walk through the portal, log out then back in grab stuff and log back out then log back into main world. Now you have just moved through a portal and you can also move crazy high amounts of heavy stuff. Using another world as just a store house in between things like this, is a lot of effort to lessen the experience and goes against the spirit of the game, at that point may as well just use console commands.

While that works, a lot of players I've heard see it as an exploit to get around a designed system in the game. Like ya you can, but it feels cheap and not in the spirit of the game.

[@georgwarhead2801]

@@andr05s85 absolutly right, at this point, you can just turn on god-mode...

amazing foolproof guide, thanks for your work

[@RQUKOfficial]

Love this game but restricting items from being teleported just feels like a bad move. Considering how random things happen (sea monsters attacking, etc) in the game, it's an arduous task. I know you can inventory glitch the items but that's a bit meh. Perhaps they could introduce a craftable device that enables resource teleportation or make the resource nodes available in all areas. For a game that hits so many sweet spots for me, this is definitely a bum feature IMO.

[@longjohnson139]

I like to build chest outside of the crypt and workbench. You can mine iron with antler pick. Easy to run outside and repair. If there are more then 1 crypt i leave the chest where it is and do same for next one. When i have cleared all crypts, i make wagon and carry them all to base.

[@hzebruh1443]

If you want to be really exploity to use a portal you can save and logout and go on a different words with a chest, log back in to the swamp world and use a portal back to your base, then go back to your chest world and grap your iron.

[@MattRigidBear]

Really good and clear guides! Thank you

[@coltonbucholz6278]

Highly recommend getting the Megingjord from the trader before doing ANY kind of big mining expo. It grants an extra 150 in carry weight and doesnt take up an armor spot. Just an Inventory space.

[@wilsondiscgolf00]

Yeah it's nice but i have spent ~30 hours in my solo world, have 2 chests full of valuables and still can't find him. I will not let a merchant that i can't find prevent me from progressing.

[@coltonbucholz6278]

@@wilsondiscgolf00 ugh procedural generation can suck. I would start a new seed then use your character to transfer all the valuables over. OR just use the second seed to sell/buy everything from a close by trader and transfer all that back to your main world.

SOME of these crypts are huge and you can get you a lot of scrap iron not all of them since they're procedurally generated. The large crypts seem to be the exception and not the rule.

armor should be first priority since most will skip bronze to rush iron.

Sometimes you can find Scrap iron in the swamplands itself. Thats how our duo made Longship before killing the elder lol.

[@daveyfrancy3118]

Instead of transporting iron by boat you can make a new world to store your items, then go back to your base on your main world with portal. Then you grab your items from the separate world and bring them home. Easy peasy.

[@kennethken8974]

The first item to craft after getting iron is an iron pickaxe, to get more iron faster

For people trying to transport iron, make a new world and drop it in a chest, then go home and go back and grab the iron again

rule #1 in dungeons / mazes : decide for one direction - left or right. Take the turn in that direction whenever possible. This way you will automatically explore the complete dungeon (or escape any maze).

Pro tip: just log out and login to another world where your character is at your main base so you can fast travel to smelt ores. Then when you are done you can log back in to mine and explore again without being encumbered and skip all that pesky traveling.

I’ve find one in two different swamp biomes. Very frustrating. I think it’s a BIT to hard to get iron simply because of how scare the crypts are. Not to mention how small and far away Swamp biomes are.

How quickly do the crypts respawn? I guess that's a general question for all respawns in the game.
