Valheim dedicated server with crossplay: step-by-step setup for 1.0
Want a world that keeps running while the host is asleep, with friends joining from PC, Xbox, PS5 and Switch …
Valheim guides for the 1.0 release from 9 September 2026, from the Meadows to the Deep North. Every boss has its own guide: how to summon it, what to bring and what it drops. You summon Eikthyr with two Deer Trophies, Bonemass takes ten Withered Bones and a mace rather than a sword, and Moder needs three Dragon Eggs that cannot go through portals. Then come The Elder, Yagluth, the Queen and Fader with three Bells from the Black Forge. At the very end waits Kall Fimbulbringer, reached with three Intricate Keys.
Not sure where to go next? The biome order lists the key materials, dungeons and boss of every biome. Separate guides cover the mist and Seekers of the Mistlands, sailing a Drakkar across boiling seas into the Ashlands and the new Deep North with its Winding Tunnels and Mörkhalla dungeons.
Away from the fights you’ll learn how food works with its three slots, your gear progression from bronze to Nord, building with stability and a chimney, taming animals, the traders Haldor, Hildir and the Bog Witch and what can’t go through a portal. Playing with a friend? Read Valheim for two, see how crossplay works across PC, Xbox, PS5 and Switch 2 and set up your own dedicated server. Mods, FPS settings, console commands and supported languages have their own guides too.
