Valheim Deep North Update News: 67° Roofs and Crafting Mystery

The latest Valheim Deep North update news confirms two big things: steeper 67° roof pieces are coming for both thatch and darkwood, and the devs teased an unexplained set of metal molds tied to crafting in the icy biome. Here’s what’s confirmed, what’s speculative, and how to get ready without overreading the clues.

Confirmed: steeper 67° roofs in the Deep North update

Iron Gate says the 67° roof pieces will be 4 meters high and available in both thatch and darkwood. They specifically called out that these steeper roofs are part of the Deep North work. That means higher spires, tighter A-frames, and more dramatic silhouettes without awkward filler pieces.

• Better peaks and longhouses: 67° pieces let halls feel taller without stacking extra walls.
• Mixed styles: both thatch and darkwood variants keep building themes consistent across biomes.
• Less gap filling: fewer half walls and ladders to fake height.

Teased: a Deep North crafting mystery

The post showed four foldable metal molds with pins. The team didn’t explain them—only that they relate to “the crafting process in the Deep North.” Community guesses include armor plates, shield fronts, or decorative plaques, but nothing is confirmed beyond “they’re for crafting.” Treat any deeper interpretation as speculation until Iron Gate shares more.

• What we know: metal molds; part of the Deep North crafting loop; no recipe or material details yet.
• What’s speculative: armor/shield casting, wall plaques, or a new casting station. Consider these possibilities, not promises.

Merch and deals from the announcement

• Grimfrost plushie deal: two plushies for the price of one (Black Week promo).
• Cantrip Candles: Valheim-themed scented candles (Black Forest, Ocean, Campfire) with labels by Mats Minnhagen, currently discounted.

Build of the Month shoutout

How to prep for the Valheim Deep North update

1. Plan steeper roofs: Sketch updated peaks for your bases to use the 67° pieces once they drop.
2. Save black metal and fine wood: Handy for darkwood variants and any late-game roof flourishes.
3. Leave forge space: If the molds tie into a new crafting station, reserve a slot near your blast furnace/artisan table.
4. Stay tuned to official news: The crafting details aren’t final—wait for the devs before stockpiling specific materials.

Source and next steps

All confirmations come from the official post “Word From the Devs: Through the Roof”. We’ll update when the Deep North crafting pieces are fully explained. If you want a fresh world ready for release day, spin up a server at Supercraft Host so your group can test the new 67° roofs the moment they arrive.
