Unfortunately, to truly progress in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/valheim\">Valheim<\/a>, you need a solid amount of these cores. Smelting Bronze or creating Coal requires Surtling Cores so it&rsquo;s up to you to head out and search for them.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Luckily for you though, there are set areas where you can find this crafting item. Also, there&rsquo;s one area where you can farm an infinite amount of cores. Here, we&rsquo;ll show you exactly where to find and farm Surtling Cores.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/valheim\/valheim-how-to-create-shoot-fireworks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to create and shoot fireworks in Valheim<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Finding and farming Surtling Cores in Valheim<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/rWQB_41MreHC43EbI3LVAZr-X0wRRY5zsZ6Uy63Ry-8\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzL3N1cnRsaW5nX2NvcmVzX3ZhbGhlaW1fMi5qcGc\" alt=\"surtling_cores_valheim_2\" width=\"512\" height=\"262\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Surtling Cores are a hot commodity in Valheim (Picture: Iron Gate)&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The most basic way of finding Surtling Cores is in burial tombs. These are found within the Black Forest and contain a minimal amount of cores along with valuable items you can sell to Haldor the Merchant later on in the game.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To locate the cores in the tombs, you need to go through every doorway and search for small rooms that house the item. They&rsquo;ll be perched on holders for you to simply take and add to your inventory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While this is an easy way of obtaining the cores, an even better method exists. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/valheim\/valheim-biome-guide-resources-monsters-items-and-more\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swamp biome<\/a>, there are Surtling spawn points that are identified by a large fire spout. Here, you&rsquo;ll find 3-4 Surtlings that drop 1-2 cores each. If you keep searching, you&rsquo;ll find multiple spawn points and that means more cores.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What&rsquo;s great about this method is that you can keep returning to the spawn points and more Surtling will pop up. While it&rsquo;s not a quick way of obtaining an infinite amount of cores, you&rsquo;ll likely never run out of the item.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of your first big tasks in Valheim is finding Surtling Cores so you can build a Smelter, Kiln and Portals.
