In Valheim, players will come across more dangerous foes as they stray further from their starting point. While players can upgrade weapons, specialize in certain weapon types, and create armor, players may wonder what weapon configurations are possible in Valheim.

Since there are a variety of metal swords that players can forge, and also repair, in Valheim, players may be looking to dual wield iron or bronze swords or knives in each hand to deal the most possible damage. Unfortunately, while this seems to be a common question on Reddit, there is not currently a way to dual wield swords or daggers in Valheim at this time.

Players shouldn't worry, however, since Valheim is still in early access and Iron Gate and Coffee Stain studios seem to be ready to roll out regular updates, players may get dual wielding soon. There are other weapon configurations that players can use that can still pack a punch.

For those looking to do an immense amount of damage, they'll want to start looking into the huge hammers and two-handed weapons that can really pack a punch. The Stagbreaker is a fairly early-game weapon that can really smackdown on enemies. Players will need an upgraded workbench at level 2, 20 Valheim Core Wood, 5 deer trophies, and 2 Leather straps. While not on par with what a couple of Blackmetal swords might deal if Valheim ever gets dual wielding, this two-handed basher is very good at flattening out enemies.

Players can also wield sword-and-shield or dagger-and-shield combinations. This will be for those who are more cautious in battling against some of the dangerous creatures and secret bosses found in Valheim. While Blackmetal swords are probably the most powerful weapons in the game, players can deal more damage to enemies by discerning their weaknesses through trial and error and exploiting them. For example, surtlings can be killed without any battling at all by leading them to water. They will walk into the water and die without a single swing on the player's part.

Every enemy in the game appears to have a weakness to some weapon or other, and players should use that to their advantage in order to deal the most possible damage. Here are some more examples of enemy weaknesses:

• Blobs are weak to Blunt weapons like Clubs
• Skeletons are weak to Blunt as well
• Trolls are weak to piercing damage

Valheim is available now in Early Access on PC.
