One of the many crafting stations players can build in Valheim is the fermenter. The fermenter in Valheim allows players to brew potions to help them in their quest to defeat the five bosses. Most of the potions are named after exactly what they do, like the Frost-Resistance potion and Minor Healing potion, but there is one odd one out: the Tasty Mead.
Making Tasty Mead
Tasty Mead base is one of the first bases players learn to brew once they create the cauldron. Players can make the cauldron and the fermenter after defeating Valheim's first boss called Eikthyr and turning one of its antlers into a basic pickaxe. After that, players will have access to tin, copper, and bronze; 10 tin is needed to make the cauldron while the fermenter is built with 30 Fine wood, five Bronze, and 10 Resin.
Tasty mead is made with 10 Honey, which can be gotten from Valheim's honey bees, five Blueberries which can be picked in the Black Forest, and 10 raspberries which can be picked from bushes in the Meadows. Combine these ingredients, then put the base into the fermenter for 2 in-game days. Once the mead is done fermenting, players will get stack of 6 of Tasty Mead potions.
What Tasty Mead Does
Tasty Mead lowers a Valheim player's health regeneration by 50% for 10 seconds while simultaneously raising their stamina regen by 300%. After the 10 seconds is up, players can immediately use another Tasty Mead, unlike most of the other potions which have cooldowns.
This is a great tool for getting out of sticky situations; players can use the stamina boost for swimming long distances, out running dangerous enemies, or in situations where stamina is needed and the player's health is not in danger, like planting a garden, mining, or building a house in Valheim. This potion is also great for the last few minutes of a fight where the player just needs a tiny burst of stamina to win.
While it is not the most useful potion in the game, players will love having it around for those specific situations where stamina is more important than anything else. Tasty Mead is easy to make with ingredients that are fairly plentiful in the world. If players are looking for a pure stamina refill without the downside however, they can make themselves some stamina potions from a similar recipe: 10x Honey, 10x Raspberries, and 10x Yellow mushroom. These potions, however, do have a cooldown time of 2 minutes.
Valheim is in Early Access for PC.
