Where to Find the Sulfur in Valheim

We all know that the new Ashlands biome in Valheim contains several new resources that are exclusive to this land and are used to create new weapons, armor pieces, items, and structures.

Some of the new resources that are essential for creating various items is sulfur. This is a natural resource found in Ashlands but can be difficult to find, especially if you don't know where to look. But don't worry, with this guide you can find it easily.

Where to Find the Sulfur in Valheim

Geographical Context:

Your search for Sulfur should be concentrated within the perilous Ashlands biome. This volcanic region, characterized by lava flows and treacherous terrain, harbors the coveted deposits.

Identifying Sulfur Deposits:

Scattered throughout the Ashlands are colossal, arch-shaped structures. These landmarks, often found in proximity to lava flows, serve as the primary source of Sulfur. Look closely for the telltale yellow deposits clinging to the undersides of these arches.

Harvesting Techniques:

Two primary methods exist for acquiring Sulfur:

Direct Extraction: Utilize a sturdy Pickaxe to dismantle the arch, causing the Sulfur deposits to crumble and become harvestable. While this method is efficient, it diminishes the number of available Sulfur deposits within your world.

Strategic Construction:  For a more sustainable approach, construct rudimentary wooden platforms situated directly beneath the arches. This grants convenient access to the Sulfur deposits, allowing for repeated harvesting without permanent environmental alteration.

Alternative Acquisition:

While the aforementioned methods are the most reliable, a secondary source of Sulfur exists.  Lava Blobs, the fiery inhabitants of the Ashlands, have a minor chance of dropping Sulfur upon defeat. However, the primary reward from these foes is Proustite Powder, another valuable resource used in crafting explosives.  Due to the low drop rate, this method should be considered a supplement rather than a primary means of acquiring Sulfur.

With the strategies described above, you will successfully obtain the sulfur necessary for your alchemical endeavors. Remember a sustainable approach to collecting sulfur from arches ensures a continuous supply of this vital resource for your Viking expeditions.
