To endure the frigid temperatures of the Mountains in Valheim, adventurers will need Frost Resistance, a status effect provided temporarily with a particular Mead brew or permanently with Wolf Armor. This four-piece armor set is the next tier of wearable equipment after the Root Set and Iron Armor. As its name implies, the Wolf Armor Set is made from the pelts of Wolves, an aggressive beast native to the Mountain biome of Valheim. These creatures can be hunted down, or players can tame and breed them in their base camp to farm their pelts. However, they will need a steady source of raw meat to keep the wild canines fed.
Unlocking the Wolf Armor Set in Valheim involves collecting all the necessary materials for the armor pieces and crafting them at a Workbench. The six materials required to craft the entire set include Silver, Wolf Pelts, Wolf Fangs, Drake Trophies, a Wolf Trophy, and a Chain.
The first resource, Silver, is a Metal Ingot forged from Silver Ore at a Smelter. Silver Deposits can commonly be encountered in areas of high elevation in the Mountain biome. Drakes will spawn typically spawn near these nodes.
Crafting the Wolf Armor Set in Valheim
Likewise, Wolves can also be found in the Mountains of Valheim and are not too challenging to kill as long as players are adequately equipped to fight. For instance, if newcomers attempt to find and kill Wolves after defeating Eikhytr will likely have a hard time due to their lack of proper gear.
However, those who instead lure two wolves into an enclosure, tame them with raw meat, and breed them will have a much easier time farming the Pelts, Trophies, and Fangs needed for the Wolf Armor Set in Valheim. Nevertheless, this approach will involve setting up a Boar farm for meat and produce farm for feeding the Boars.
Needless to say, Drake Trophies are acquired from Drakes, which spawn randomly across the Mountains or near Silver Deposits. Players are encouraged to have a mid-tier Bow to take down the aerial creatures, as melee is less effective for flying opponents. If adventurers are struggling to scale slopes while searching for Drakes, YouTuber 04AM recommends using a Pickaxe to level the ground to prevent sliding.
The final resource needed to craft and unlock Wolf Armor in Valheim is the Chain. This rare object can be acquired from killing Wraiths or looted from Sunken Crypts within the Swamp biome. To conclude, below is a list of all items needed to craft the entire Wolf Armor Set:
- Silver ×64
- Wolf Pelt ×18
- Wolf Fang ×4
- Drake Trophy ×2
- Chain ×1
- Wolf Trophy ×1
