Where to Find Marble in Valheim?

While the ground of the new Mistlands biome appears to be made of Marble, using a pickaxe on this will only give players stone. Instead, players need to search around this dangerous biome for the Petrified Bones because these are the key to harvesting Marble. These remains spawn randomly throughout the area and will likely have at least one of the dangerous enemies nearby and so players need to be on their guard when mining.

Similar to metal ores inprevious biomes inValheim, Marble requires a pickaxe to be mined. As part of the new Mistlands update, the developer’s have added in a Black Metal Pickaxe for players to craft and this is what is needed to collect Marble. Fortunately, part of what differentiates this material from metals is that it can be transported through portals.
