Spirit Damage is one of the four elemental damage types found in weapons of Valheim. The Spirit Damage allows players to fight undead enemies like Skeletons, Fenrings and Draugrs.

Spirit Damage is especially helpful when you’re dealing with a Skeleton Spawner or a bunch of Draugrs. Weapons made out of Silver generally have added spirit damage in them. But, we’ll get to that later. First, you need to know how spirit damage works.

Spirit Damage is used for fighting undead enemies. Once equipped, a weapon with Spirit Damage does not only deal a good amount of damage, but it also unleashes a blue fire to burn enemies like Wraiths etc. and continues to cause damage overtime.

Spirit Damage is indeed a handy elemental type you can use for fighting. But only a select few weapons have inbuilt Spirit Damage capabilities. So, you might want to take a note on the ones that do.

3. Weapons with Spirit Damage

There are a total of three weapons that have the added Spirit Damage in them. They are: Frostner, Silver Sword, and Silver Arrows.

Anicent Barks can be found by chopping Ancient Trees near the swamp with a Bronze axe. Whereas, Silver can be smelted from silver ores found in the mountain biomes.

II. Silver Sword

Silver Sword is also a powerful weapon in the game. It deals 20 Spirit Damage and has a Slash Damage of 75, making it quite the force to be reckoned with.
