Barka is a Deep North creature in Valheim with 2,200 health. The numbers above are the ones the game never shows you: how fast it moves against your own speed, how much damage inside one window it takes to stagger it, whether smoke and fire do anything to it, and the spawn rule behind the biome — an interval, a chance and a cap per zone.

Barka FAQ
How do you kill Barka in Valheim?
Weak to: Fire. Health is 2,200, so the right damage type matters more than raw weapon damage.
What does Barka drop in Valheim?
It drops Barka Trophy (10%), Frozen Branch (100%). Chances shown are for a plain kill; starred variants multiply both the amount and the chance on anything that scales.
Where does Barka spawn in Valheim?
In Deep North the game rolls for one every 1,000 seconds with a 12% chance, up to 1 alive in a zone at once. Valheim worlds are seed-generated, so there is no fixed location: the rule is what is fixed, not the place.
Can you outrun Barka in Valheim?
Not in the water, which is where you meet it. Barka swims at 4 against your 2, so it closes on a swimmer the whole way and there is no version of that swim you win. Get back on a boat or onto land — on a boat you outrun it easily; in the water you do not.
Can Barka be staggered?
Yes. Landing 30% of its maximum health inside one window staggers it, which is the opening a parry is for — parry damage counts towards that figure, so the two combine.
Where do starred Barka spawn?
More than 2,000 metres from the centre of the world. Inside that radius this rule only ever spawns the plain version, which is why a long-settled first base never sees starred ones.
