Flint is used to crafting some of Valheim’s more powerful weapons. For example, you’ll need six bits of flint to make the flint axe, which is more durable and powerful than the basic one. The other tools you’ll be able to craft with flint are:

  • Flint Knife – Requirements: Two Wood, Two Flint, and Four Leather Scraps
  • Flint Spear – Requirements: One Wood and One Flint
  • Flint Arrow – Requirements: Five Wood, Ten Flint, and Two Leather Scraps

You’ll also need the material for crafting the Chopping Block and Tanning Rack, both of which are upgrades for your workbench.

Once you find some, with it often in groups of between two and four, press E to pick one of them up once you have it highlighted. Any you pick up will then be added to your inventory to be used in crafting at a later date.
