Status Effects
The harmful status effects in valheim. Wet, Cold, Freezing, Burning, and Poison explained.
- Cold
- -50% HP regen
- Freezing
- Stops HP regen
Several environmental status effects punish unprepared Vikings in valheim. Wet (rain or water) blocks the Rested buff, Cold cuts health regen by 50% and stamina regen by 25%, and Freezing in the unprotected Mountains halts natural healing entirely. Burning and Poison deal damage over time and also block Rested, which is why Frost and Poison resistance meads matter so much in their biomes.
