The Valheim Fenris armor set can make your Viking move faster, resist fire, and do more damage with unarmed attacks. That’s three great reasons to gather the resources needed to craft it, but there are other important reasons: it looks extremely cool and unlike any otherarmor set in Valheim.
Don’t you want your character to have glowing, icy blue eyes under a dark hood? Yes, I think you do.
The Valheim Fenris set arrived courtesy of the frost cave update, which added procedural dungeons in the Mountains biome. Finding a cave takes a good amount of exploration on the icy slopes, but it’s worth the work. There are new enemies in the frost caves and new resources to gather that will allow you to build the Fenris set.
