Valheim: Get the Wolf Cape & Cape of the Caller

To get the Wolf Cape (often called the moose hide cape) in Valheim, you must defeat the Mountain biome boss, Moder, and then craft it at a level-2 Workbench using 1 Wolf Pelt, 1 Wolf Trophy, and 10 Silver. The Cape of the Caller is a different item—it’s a unique cape found in the Mistlands, not crafted, and you get it by defeating the Seeker Queen and opening her treasure chest. This guide covers both capes in detail, including stats, materials, and step-by-step acquisition paths.

Wolf Cape (Moose Hide Cape) Overview

The Wolf Cape is a chest armor piece in the Mountain tier. Despite the nickname “moose hide cape,” it’s made from wolf pelts and a wolf trophy, not moose hide. It provides 6 armor and grants the Frost Resistance effect, which reduces damage from freezing in the Mountains and during the Moder boss fight. This makes it essential for exploring the Mountain biome without needing to constantly eat frost-resistant foods or carry a campfire.

How to Craft the Wolf Cape

Follow these steps to craft the Wolf Cape:

1. Defeat Moder – Moder is the Mountain biome boss. You must summon her using 3 Dragon Eggs at the Moder altar, which is located at the highest peak of a Mountain. Defeating her drops the Moder’s Dragon Tear, which unlocks the Artisan Table.
2. Build an Artisan Table – The Artisan Table (not a Workbench) is required to craft the Wolf Cape. Place it inside a shelter.
3. Gather materials – You need 1 Wolf Pelt (dropped by wolves in the Mountains), 1 Wolf Trophy (rare drop from wolves), and 10 Silver (mined from Silver veins found in the Mountains, using an Iron pickaxe or better).
4. Craft the cape – At the Artisan Table, select the Wolf Cape from the crafting menu and craft it.

Note: The Wolf Cape is a heavy armor piece, so it reduces your movement speed slightly. It also takes up the chest slot, so you cannot wear a chest piece with more armor, but the frost resistance is unique.

Cape of the Caller: Location and Acquisition

The Cape of the Caller is a Mistlands-tier cape with 10 armor and a unique set bonus: it increases your Eitr regeneration (mana for magic). Unlike the Wolf Cape, it is not crafted—it is found in a chest inside the Seeker Queen’s lair. To get it:

1. Defeat the Seeker Queen – She is the boss of the Mistlands biome. You summon her using 3 Seeker Queens’ eggs at a sealed altar in the Mistlands.
2. Open the treasure chest – After defeating her, a large chest appears in her lair. Loot it to get the Cape of the Caller.

This cape is a light armor piece, so it doesn’t slow you down, and it’s excellent for magic users because of the Eitr regeneration bonus.

Comparison: Wolf Cape vs. Cape of the Caller

• Armor: Wolf Cape 6, Cape of the Caller 10.
• Weight: Wolf Cape is heavy (reduces speed), Cape of the Caller is light.
• Special effect: Wolf Cape grants Frost Resistance; Cape of the Caller grants +25% Eitr regeneration.
• Biome: Wolf Cape is Mountain-tier, Cape of the Caller is Mistlands-tier.
• Acquisition: Wolf Cape is crafted; Cape of the Caller is looted.

Choose the Wolf Cape for Mountain exploration and the Moder fight, and switch to the Cape of the Caller once you reach the Mistlands and need better armor and magic sustain.

Common Mistakes and Troubleshooting

• Not having an Artisan Table – The Wolf Cape requires the Artisan Table, not a Workbench. Many players try to craft it at a Workbench and fail. Make sure you’ve built the Artisan Table after defeating Moder.
• Wolf Trophy drop rate – Wolf Trophies are rare (about 10% drop chance). If you’re unlucky, you may need to kill many wolves. Use a bow or a high-damage weapon to farm them efficiently.
• Silver mining – Silver veins are often hidden underground in the Mountains. Use the Wishbone (obtained from Bonemass) to find them, and dig down to expose the vein.
• Mistlands boss difficulty – The Seeker Queen is very hard. Bring a group or at least maxed-out gear. Also, the Mistlands is full of deadly enemies, so be prepared.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Wolf Cape worth crafting?

Yes, if you plan to spend time in the Mountains. It provides frost resistance, which is essential for exploring without constantly eating frost-resistant food. However, once you progress to the Plains and Mistlands, you’ll want better armor, so it’s a temporary but very useful piece.

Can I upgrade the Wolf Cape or Cape of the Caller?

Yes, both capes can be upgraded at a Workbench (for Wolf Cape) or a Black Forge (for Cape of the Caller) using the same materials. Upgrading increases armor and durability. For the Wolf Cape, you need more Wolf Pelts and Silver; for the Cape of the Caller, you need more Mistlands materials like Black Cores and Soft Tissue.

What is the best cape in Valheim?

The best cape depends on your stage. The Cape of the Caller is the highest armor cape currently, but the Linen Cape (from the Plains) is also popular for its light weight and looks. For magic users, the Cape of the Caller is the best due to its Eitr regen bonus.

Can I get the Wolf Cape without killing Moder?

No, you must defeat Moder to unlock the Artisan Table, which is required to craft the Wolf Cape. There is no other way to craft it.

How do I get wolf pelts fast?

Wolves spawn in the Mountains, especially at night. Go to a Mountain biome at night, and you’ll find many wolves. Use a bow to take them down from a distance, and be careful of the freezing. Bring frost-resistant mead or a campfire.

Does the Cape of the Caller have any hidden effects?

No, the only effect is the Eitr regeneration bonus, which is clearly stated in the tooltip. It does not provide any other resistances.
