Serpent Stew is the best food in Valheim. It provides the highest base stats in the game and is accessible much earlier than other high-tier foods. It’s tough to keep a steady supply of the Serpent Meat required for serpent stew, but well worth it.
You can head out to the Ocean and chase down a few Sea Serpents to get literally hours of satiety. One serpent will drop around 5 serpent meat and then you’ll just need some honey and mushrooms. Serpent stew is the perfect food for boss fights and you should definitely cook some before attempting Bonemass or Moder.
Fun Fact: Cooked Serpent Meat weighs 10 units, but Serpent Stew only weighs 1 unit. Makes me wonder, where does it all go?
