Hexen hunts you. Once it spawns it walks towards you rather than wandering, so distance alone will not lose it.

Hexen is a Deep North creature in Valheim with 800 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.

Hexen FAQ

How do you kill Hexen in Valheim?

Weak to: Fire. Health is 800, so the right damage type matters more than raw weapon damage.

What does Hexen drop in Valheim?

It drops Nornathread (100%), Hexen Trophy (10%), Intricate Key (10%), Mould: Robes of the Caller (5%), Mould: Headdress of the Caller (5%), Mould: Trousers of the Caller (5%). Chances shown are for a plain kill; starred variants multiply both the amount and the chance on anything that scales.

Where does Hexen spawn in Valheim?

In -1 the game rolls for one every 500 seconds with a 100% chance, up to 2 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 Hexen in Valheim?

Yes. Hexen runs at 4 against your 7, so a straight sprint loses it as long as your stamina holds — which is the real limit, not its speed.

Can Hexen be staggered?

Yes. Landing 50% 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.
