Before we begin looking at how to get a Horn of Celebration in Valheim, it’s worth briefly introducing what this unique item is. At its core, the HoC is a unique variant of the basic tankard. The item was introduced following Valheim’s first year anniversary as a means for players to celebrate the game’s successes and early accomplishments. The Horn of Celebration resembles a hollowed-out silver or blue horn with a gold handle and trim and allows players to drink mead and celebrate in style.

What Does the Horn of Celebration Do in Valheim?

Given its name, largely focusing on its celebratory nature, it perhaps shouldn’t surprise that the Horn of Celebration in Valheim primarily serves as a cosmetic item. This makes it an excellent item to use in your game if you’re playing in multiplayer mode with friends and want a new way to party together (and show off).

Of course, while having a Horn of Celebration is definitely a great way to show off your progress in the game, there are many other things that may be more impressive - such as launching your Valheim MP on a dedicated private server. This not only allows a much more stable gaming experience, but it also allows you full control to your server and its settings, helping customize your Valheim game to your needs. In addition to its aesthetics, the Horn of Celebration can be technically used as a weapon; with that said, it isn't particularly effective in combat. It can deal 4x backstab damage and has a knockback effect of 30, but this largely pales in comparison to many other weapons. Thus, the Horn of Celebration should largely be used as a fun addition to the game rather than a serious weapon.

How to Craft a Horn of Celebration in Valheim

By now, we’ve considered what the Horn of Celebration is - however, you may still be wondering about how to craft a Horn of Celebration in your next Valheim game. The good news is, this is pretty simple, provided you have the following basic materials:

• X2 Bronze
• X2 Troll Hides
• X2 Iron

The Horn of Celebration has a crafting and repair level of 1 each. As such, it’s incredibly easy to make at a Workbench. This then allows you to use the Horn to drink mead, which offers boosts to both your stamina and health. Don’t forget, though; a tankard or Horn of Celebration isn’t strictly necessary to drink mead.
