New to Valheim and searching for the best starting seeds?InValheim, every world is procedurally generated from a starting seed. This means that no two randomValheimmaps are ever quite the same; and not all worlds are created equal, as you’ll soon discover. This doesn’t need to be a problem, though, since you’ll be able to control where you spawn using this guide.

Find the perfect starting place for your new adventures with our list of thebest Valheim seedswe’ve found, covering everything from safety to danger, from Swamps to Mountains, and much more besides.

Best Valheim seeds list

Below you’ll find various different Valheim seeds, each of which offer a completely unique experience. To use a seed, just copy the “Seed” text of the world you want, and paste it into the seed input field just below your world name when creating a new world.

Here’s our list of the best Valheim seeds we’ve found:

Beginnersto Valheim will find this relatively safe starting seed quite welcome. A large Meadows biome gives you plenty of room to build and explore, but with such a large starting island you’ll still come across Swamps, Mountains, and Black Forests with enough exploring - and you’ll find that theElderandBonemassbosses aren’t too far away.

#3: Early Trader spawn

Beginning your journey next to a gigantic lake is a lovely way to start, and you’ll also find plenty of building space near spawn here. The seed also provides you with a forbidding Mountain to the south, alongside a gigantic Black Forest biome to get lost inside. And, perhaps best of all,Haldor the Tradercan be found on the southernmost tip of the island.

#4: Massive Swamp & Bosses

Everything you need is to the west in this Valheim seed. Across the lake you’ll find a Trader startlingly near spawn. Next up is a massive swamp filled withSunken Crypts for mining Iron; and across the water to the south-west you’ll find the Elder, Bonemass, and Moder ripe for the slaughtering.

#7: Follow The Path North

I recommend you do just what the title says with this seed: follow the path north. This island winds its way upwards and leads you to a spectacular triple-combo of Plains, Mountains, and Swamps ripe for the conquering. You’ll also find Bonemass waiting for you there.

#8: Giant Winding Island

Another particularly winding and snaking island will become your home if you pick this starting seed. You’ll start right next to the coast and a river, for easy access to Flint and Neck Meat. Bosses one to three are found on this starting island alone, so you won’t need to travel far for a long time.

#10: Limited Starting Island

For those after a more languorous journey, this seed plonks you down on a fairly small starting island, with just Meadow, Black Forest, and Mountains to keep you company. You’ll be forced to embrace the Viking ways and sail the open seas if you want to find the rarer biomes. At least Haldor the Trader isn’t too terribly far away.
