Where to get materials for Blob Bombs in Valheim
Image via Coffee Stain PublishingThe trophies and other materials mostly come from defeating specific enemies:
- Blob Trophy comes from regular Blobs
- Growth Trophy is dropped by Growths
- Stone Golem Trophy comes from Stone Golems in the Mountains
- Sulfur and Proustite Powder are found in the Ashlands
- Resin and Tar are easier to gather and found all over the world
To farm Blob Trophies and Ooze, some players suggest triggering swamp raids or fighting Bonemass repeatedly. When you spawn Bonemass or get hit by the “foul smell from the swamp” event, a lot of Blobs show up. That’s a good time to gather materials fast.
Best ways to use Blob Bombs in Valheim
Image via Coffee Stain PublishingSome players like using Poison Blobs by throwing them through doors or tight spaces. It spreads poison damage without needing to enter the room. Tar Blobs are good when you want to slow down fast enemies, and Lava is nice when you want to keep enemies burning while you focus on blocking or healing.
