Why Thor Is In Valheim (& Where To Find Him)

Since it released in Steam Early Access, Valheim has become a major hit. The survival game from Iron Gate Studio is full of fantastical monsters and creatures, and steeped in Viking folklore. Because of this, there’s plenty of Norse mythology incorporated into the game as well. Now, players have noticed Thor appearing in Valheim too.

There are already a lot of Norse mythology allusions in Valheim, including the branches of Yggdrasil that stretch across the sky. While the World Tree’s appearance is certainly worth noting, it’s the Norse gods who players have been even more excited to find. While these gods don’t necessarily affect gameplay (at least, for now), they’re more like easter eggs for players to discover on their own.

Many players have noted a mysterious stranger in Valheim, who’s always lurking from afar and will disappear if players get too close. This is presumably Odin, the Allfather in Norse myth, who is watching players’ actions to see if they are really worthy of Valhalla. In myth, Odin often appeared to humans as a cloaked old man with a walking stick, which is likely why this mysterious figure appears this way in-game. However, players have also now spotted Thor, another Norse god, streaking across the skies in Valheim.

Where To Find Thor In Valheim

Because Valheim is so deep-rooted in Norse myth, it makes a lot of sense for Thor to appear. As the God of Thunder, Thor’s chariot – which is pulled by rams – will appear in-game during some of the most violent thunderstorms. This ties in nicely with Norse myth, but Thor won’t appear very often during the early stages of the game. Instead, players will need to wait until near the end of the current content for a better chance to actually see him.

For players who are looking to find Thor in Valheim, the easiest way to do this is to wait until after Moder, the game’s fourth boss, is defeated. After this happens, Thor has a much higher chance (about 50%) of appearing during thunderstorms. When he appears, Thor will summon a streak of blue lightning to announce his arrival. While this doesn’t really change much in terms of gameplay, it does look really cool.

Future updates of Valheim are on the way, and the game is still in early access, so even more Norse gods may appear eventually. For now, discovering Odin and Thor in-game is a lot of fun and a nice way for developers to reference the myth that’s inspired Valheim.
