One of the more striking things about the new Mistlands biome in Valheim is its impressive peaks and valleys. While other areas have their own unique atmospheres and geography, not even the game's mountain biome can match the dramatic look of the Mistlands. Coupled with the mist that obscures large parts of this area, getting around the Mistlands can be a real challenge.
Fortunately, the developers of Valheim have added in items to make life easier. One of the most essential of these is the Feather Cape, an item that can make climbing much easier. For those players looking to unlock this cape and craft it, this guide is here to help.
How to Create a Feather Cape in Valheim?
The Feather Cape's recipe calls for 10 Feathers, 5 Scale Hides, and 20 Refined Eitr and can only be constructed at the new Galdr Table in Valheim. The first ingredient is one of the easier ones to find and can be collected as drops from birds and randomly in chests. Scale Hides are drops from the Hares that have been added through the Mistlands update. These animals can be found all over the Mistlands biome.
Refined Eitr is what makes this cape a challenge to gather. This resource is the product of placing Sap and Soft Tissue in an Eitr Refinery, an item that costs 20 Black Marble, 5 Black Metal, 10 Yggdrasil Wood, 5 Black Cores, and 3 Sap to create. Sap can be extracted from Yggdrasil roots, while Soft Tissue is most commonly found within the skulls of Ancient Remains in the new Mistlands biome.
How to Use a Feather Cape?
Once a Feather Cape has been built, players can equip it similarly to other capes in Valheim and pieces of armor. At its base level, the Feather Cape weighs 4 units, adds 1 armor, and features resistance to frost. The unique ability that makes this cape worthwhile is its Feather Fall. This limits a player's fall speed to 5 m/s and completely eliminates fall damage.
This becomes especially important for those players exploring the Mislands because of how vertical this biome can be. With the Mistlands being the most difficult biome in Valheim to date, being able to completely negate fall damage and glide away will easily come in handy.
Valheim is available now for PC. It will be released in early 2023 for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
