Trinkets in Valheim were added as part of the Call to Arms update. These items give you temporary buffs using something called Adrenaline. You collect Adrenaline by fighting, blocking, and using Forsaken Powers. Once you have enough, you can activate a trinket to get a boost for a short time.
There are 13 trinkets in total, each with a different effect. Some are great for fighting, some help with swimming, and others give you magic boosts. Here’s a simple look at all the trinkets and what they do.
