Across your time spent in Valheim, you tend to come across various items that you don’t have any idea what to do with. <\/p>\n

In the Black Forest Crypts, you pick up Amber, Ruby and Coins that seemingly have no value or use at first. However, as the game progresses, you learn that The Merchant<\/a> accepts these items and rewards you with other items you didn’t even know existed. <\/p>\n

However, unlike the other valuables in the game, players are stumped when it comes to Crystals. There’s seemingly no use for them but they are dropped by a creature in a late-game biome, leading to questions and speculations from the Valheim community. <\/p>\n

Finding Crystals in Valheim<\/h3>\n

If you’ve wandered into the Mountains biome in Valheim, you may have come across the huge, hulking rock formation that is the Stone Golem. <\/p>\n

These creatures are dormant until you walk past them but also blend in with the region as they’re shaped like common stones you find on the ground. Anytime you don’t notice one and it starts attacking you can be pretty frightening. We’ve previously covered how to fight them. <\/p>\n

If you do manage to defeat a Stone Golem, you’ll notice they drop a Crystal most of the time. This item is shiny and looks to be worth a pretty penny at first glance. However, upon picking it up for the first time, it doesn’t unlock any crafting recipes like other items in Valheim. <\/p>\n
