First of all, we need to consider what the Staff of Embers is in Valheim; after all, it’s not exactly the most obvious of weapons to understand at a glance. Fortunately, the Staff of Embers isn’t too tricky to understand. At its simplest, the Staff of Embers is a type of Elemental Magic weapon that resembles a large wooden staff with a burning core. It is also the most powerful type of Elemental staff, dealing a massive 120 blunt damage and 120+ fire damage. Compared to the other types of Elemental staff, this makes the Staff of Embers exceptionally powerful overall. The Staff of Embers gives out orange-red light and is a two-handed weapon, meaning you won’t be able to use a shield alongside the Staff of Embers.

How to Craft the Valheim Staff of Embers

The Staff of Embers in Valheim is crafted at the Galdr table from twenty Yggdrasil wood, four Surtling cores, and sixteen refined Eitr. These aren’t the easiest materials to find in the game, so this is definitely worth keeping in mind while you explore the world of Valheim, and critically within the Mistlands biome.

Indeed, Yggdrasil wood can only be obtained from the Yggdrasil shoots that grow in the biome. Meanwhile, Surtling cores are primarily found dropped by Surtlings, which are found within the Swamp biome. Finally, you’ll need sap and soft tissue to craft refined Eitr; this can be found within the Mistlands biome, usually.

How Does the Valheim Staff of Embers Work?

The Staff of Embers works using 35 Eitr, releasing a fireball that arcs around the caster and either deals direct strike damage or explodes and results in an area of effect. This makes it an incredibly useful tool for tackling foes, in particular for taking on large groups at once; however, it may be a little less useful against individual foes as the fireball isn’t the easiest to aim.
