Posted on by
The Swamp Key in Valheim allows players to access dungeons called the Sunken Crypts in the swamps. These locations are filled with danger and important loot like Chain, Ruby, and Withered Bone. So, we’re here to help you get this key and access those dungeons (and their treasure).
The Valheim Swamp Key is only obtainable by defeating The Elder, the game’s second boss. You can find this boss in the Black Forest biome. Search the area for The Elder’s Forsaken Altar and place 3x Ancient Seed on it. If successful, The Elder will appear. Pay attention to this boss' three main attacks, which are the following:

Using the Swamp Key
As mentioned earlier, the Swamp Key’s only use is to open the Sunken Crypts in the Swamp biome. Note that the key won’t disappear after using it to open the locked door of one Sunken Crypt. Also, the opened Sunken Crypt will permanently remain accessible after using the Swamp Key. Tip: Gain maximum comfort before entering a Sunken Crypt to increase your health and stamina regeneration. The Sunken Crypt is an excellent place to farm Draugrs and their Elite variants. These locations also typically contain various chests containing various items, such as the following:- Amber
- Amber pearl
- Ancient bark
- Chain
- Coins
- Entrails
- Ironhead arrow
- Ooze
- Poison arrow
- Ruby
- Scrap iron
