Resources in Valheim are key to progressing further and they are all linked together. Today, we will have a look at the resource Chain. The Chain is used for various things in the game such as Black Metal Shield, Black Metal Tower Shield, Wolf Chestpiece, and as a resource to upgrade Forge.

However, the resource is not easy to come by. Keep scrolling and we will show you how to get Chain in Valheim.
How to Get Chain in Valheim
To get Chain in Valheim, you have to kill the mobs that drop the resource or get it from chests in the Sunken Crypts. Wraiths are the mobs that are known to drop Chain when killed.
Chain Dropped by Wraiths
Wraths are ghostly creatures you can find the Swamp biome in old and abandoned houses. They aren’t that difficult to kill with the right weapons. You can find these creatures in the Swamps. They appear as hooded ghosts with only the upper part of the body. At the end of the body, there are Iron Chains hanging. You can easily kill these will arrows. They are slow and don’t have any ranged attacks. Once you kill a Wraith, they will drop the chain.
Chains in Sunken Crypts Chest
If you don’t know how to access the Sunken Crypt, you can refer the above linked guide. In a nutshell, you will require the Swamp Key, which is dropped after defeating the second boss.
