How To Get Drake Trophies

Drake Trophies, like all other trophies in Valheim are found by killing the enemy of which the trophy is. So, in this scenario, you'll be hunting for Drakes. They can be found in the Mountain biome so you'll need to make sure you're prepared, entering this area without doing so is pretty much a waste of time as it can be extremely dangerous. Your main concern will be not freezing to death, so be sure that your armour will suffice. As drakes can fly, it's vital to have a ranged weapon, any bow should do but if you want the best odds, get yourself a Draugr Fang Bow.

To actually find a Drake you'll need to head to the top of one of the mountains in this biome, they should be around there somewhere up high, if you don't see one initially, head to another peak. If you have a decent aim and some quality arrows this shouldn't be too much of a challenge, the real difficulty is getting the trophy itself. Drake Trophies have a much lower drop rate in comparison to most other trophies within the game, so you'll likely have to kill a few before you get your hands on a trophy unless you're lucky.
