Zil is a Plains Monsters creature in Valheim with 2,400 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.

Zil FAQ

How do you kill Zil in Valheim?

No effect: Chop, Spirit, Pickaxe. Health is 2,400, so the right damage type matters more than raw weapon damage.

What does Zil drop in Valheim?

It drops Hildir's Bronze Chest (100%), Zil Trophy (100%). Chances shown are for a plain kill; starred variants multiply both the amount and the chance on anything that scales.

Where does Zil spawn in Valheim?

It appears in Not placed by the spawn system. Valheim worlds are seed-generated, so there is no fixed location. The biome and its spawn conditions are what is fixed.

Can you outrun Zil in Valheim?

Yes. Zil runs at 2 against your 7, so a straight sprint loses it as long as your stamina holds — which is the real limit, not its speed.

Can Zil 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.
