In Valheim, players will encounter different biomes, each more dangerous than the previous one. But each biome of Valheim has its own secrets and hidden places. A great hidden item in the swamp biome is the Swamp Key.

Swamp key

In the swamp biome, players will encounter a variety of creatures and materials that they can use to create bigger and better tools and housings. Players can find Valheim Iron and Swamp Iron in this biome, as well as sunken crypts that are locked and cannot be restored. Unless players have at least a Swamp Key.

Swamp Key unlocks all locked vault doors in the Swamp Biome, giving players access to treasure and mud piles that can be mined from iron, skin, and withered bone. They also include tough fights; in the crypts players will find Blobs, Draugr and Draugr Elites.

Where to get it

Ironically, the Swamp Key cannot be found in the Swamp Biome. Instead, players will need to travel to the Black Forest biome where there is copper ore in Valheim. Once there, players will have to face the Grays and Shamans and collect three Ancient Seeds from them. Then, players must find the location of the Black Forest Temple; Since the locations in Valheim are procedurally generated, the exact coordinates of the player's altars will vary depending on their seed.

Then place three Ancient Seeds on the Black Forest Altar and this will summon one of the secret bosses in Valheim: the Elder. The elder is an Ent-like tree that brings many friends to battle. The elder and his servants are enemies hard to defeat, and they won't fall down easily, even to those with the best equipment and weapons. However, in this co-op game, players can bring some help; they will also want to bring some of their friends to make sure they don't get overrun by a group of evil tree peoples.

When the Elder and his buddies are defeated, the Swamp Key is loot. This allows Valheim's Viking-themed co-op fighters to celebrate their victory by collecting loot from the swamp crypts. Crypt dungeons aren't easy, but players who can defeat the Elder must be able to face elite enemies.
