Flametal Mace

The Flametal mace is a late-game blunt weapon that focuses on heavy single-target hits and crowd control. It has a three-hit primary combo, with the third strike dealing double damage, and a slower alternate attack that swings from behind after a wind-up. That alternate attack deals 2.5 times the normal damage and stuns the enemy, making the weapon especially effective when you can land the opening.

At base quality, the Flametal mace deals 135 blunt damage with 150 durability. Upgrading it increases both its durability and damage: quality 2 raises it to 141 blunt damage and 200 durability, quality 3 to 147 blunt damage and 250 durability, and quality 4 to 153 blunt damage and 300 durability. Each upgrade requires additional materials, with Flametal being the main resource alongside Charred Bone, Sulfur, and Asksvin Hide.

To unlock the recipe, you must have every required crafting material in your inventory at least once. The weapon also requires a level 3 crafting station to make it. Once unlocked, it follows the usual Valheim weapon progression, rewarding players who can gather endgame materials and invest in further upgrades.

The Flametal mace can also be enchanted with special stones. Enchanting it resets all previous improvements, so it is worth deciding on a final setup before spending those materials.
