Valheim Seekers are the new insect-like creatures found only in the Mistlands biome. There are two different types, one of which has wings and can fly short distances, making it easy for your Viking to be ambushed unconsciously. Fortunately, this variety stays mostly on the ground, so you’re more likely to see them coming.
These enemies are often found in pairs, so you’ll need to be on your toes if you hope to survive exploring the new biome. Knowing the weakness of the Valheim Seeker is essential if you want to defeat them, so I’ll explain what you need to know to make your Mistlands adventures less deadly.
Valheim Seeker Weakness: How to Defeat Them
If you try to attack a Seeker head-on, you’ll quickly find that they don’t take much physical damage. You can parry their attacks, but the damage you do in return is not great. You can do the best get behind them and attack them from there, although you should try to keep their legs from touching the belly.
They have a weakness for elemental damage so the Staff of Embers (opens in new tab) or the frost staff will really come in handy here. If you don’t have access to magic yet, the Frostner hammer is a great alternative, and will also help by slowing them down, potentially making them easier to handle.
It is also possible to poison them. The feather cape (opens in new tab) is also recommended because some of their attacks have a big recoil, and since the Mistlands has a lot of treacherous drops, you don’t want to drop dead while fighting.
What do Seekers drop that make them worth fighting for? Both types fall Carapaceused to make the Mistlands level armor, and Seeker Meat which can be used in several Valheim food (opens in new tab) recipes. The Seeker Soldier – the non-winged variant – also releases a Lower jaw, which allows you to craft two of the new weapons. Both also have a chance to drop their respective trophies.
