Quick Answer
Northern Vengeance is a Valheim 1.0 Blood Magic staff that creates a retaliatory Vengeance Sphere. It is crafted through the same late-game pattern as other Deep North staves: make Cast: Northern Vengeance at a Galdr Table, then finish it at a Frost Foundry with Liquid Frost available.
The main search bottleneck is Mould: Northern Vengeance. Current databases place the mould in Deep North location loot, including Memorial Place / North Memorial Place, Morkhalla, and Winding Tunnels sources. Avoid relying on any single run as guaranteed.

What Is Northern Vengeance?
Northern Vengeance is a Deep North Blood Magic staff added in Valheim 1.0. It is not a direct projectile staff like Echo Spike. Its main job is to apply a Vengeance Sphere effect.
Think of it as a high-cost defensive retaliation tool: you cast before danger, then the effect answers incoming damage instead of asking you to aim every hit manually.
How To Get Northern Vengeance
- Progress into the Deep North and loot late 1.0 locations.
- Find Mould: Northern Vengeance.
- Gather Ice, Nornathread, a Hexen Trophy, and the mould.
- Craft Cast: Northern Vengeance at a Galdr Table.
- Use a Frost Foundry with Liquid Frost available to finish Northern Vengeance.
If you have the materials but no mould, keep clearing Deep North locations. The mould is not optional.
Where To Craft Northern Vengeance
Northern Vengeance has a cast step and a finishing step. The cast is made at a Galdr Table. The finished staff is made by processing that cast at a Frost Foundry.
That two-step flow is why players often search "where to craft Northern Vengeance" after collecting some materials. Check the station first, then check whether you are missing the mould or the Frost Foundry step.
Northern Vengeance Mould / Mold Location
The item is spelled Mould: Northern Vengeance in current databases, though players often search for "mold." Current location data points to Deep North loot sources such as Memorial Place / North Memorial Place, Morkhalla, and Winding Tunnels.
Do not treat those locations as guaranteed one-and-done farms. Clear containers and loot points carefully, then move to another Deep North location if the mould does not appear.
Northern Vengeance Materials
Current item databases list the cast recipe as:
- 10 Ice
- 5 Nornathread
- 1 Hexen Trophy
- 1 Mould: Northern Vengeance
After crafting the cast, use the Frost Foundry finishing step with Liquid Frost available. If you are still building out Deep North progression, keep Bloodgold, trophies, moulds, and thread organized in separate chests.
Northern Vengeance Stats
Current item data lists Northern Vengeance as a two-handed Blood Magic staff with a high Eitr cost and a current-health cost. The key listed cast values are 100 Eitr, 40% current health, and an ally area around the caster.
The same current data lists the Vengeance Sphere as shared with allies within 5 m, lasting 60 seconds per quality level.
Because the cost includes health, do not cast it casually while already under pressure. Get food, spacing, and protection sorted before spending a large health chunk.
Northern Vengeance Damage And Effect
Northern Vengeance applies a Vengeance Sphere effect. Current data describes the retaliation as frost-focused damage when affected players take hits, rather than a normal aimed projectile. The listed base retaliation is 75 frost and 2 true damage, with additional frost by quality.
That means "Northern Vengeance damage" is not best understood as a simple swing number. Its value depends on when you cast it, who is inside the effect, and whether enemies actually trigger the retaliation window.
Northern Vengeance Upgrades
Normal upgrades use the Galdr Table and late materials such as Ice and Nornathread. As a staff, Northern Vengeance also sits near the weapon-side 1.0 upgrade conversation, so keep the Battle Idol and Forge of Potential system in mind before spending rare resources.
The mould is for the initial cast, not a repeat upgrade material by itself.
How To Use Northern Vengeance
Cast Northern Vengeance before a dangerous exchange, not after you are already scrambling. The health cost makes panic-casting risky.
In group play, use the effect when allies can stay close enough to benefit. Solo, use it before a fight where you expect unavoidable hits, then switch to your main damage plan while the retaliation effect is active.
