Start Temple generates in Meadows, within 10,000 m from the centre of the world, with 1 placement attempts per world. Worlds are seed-generated, so that band is the answer to "where" — it holds for every seed, which a marked map does not.
How it is placed
Start Temple is on your map from the moment you wake up — you do not have to find it.
Start Temple only generates inside forest cover, which rules out the open ground between the trees.
The count is placement ATTEMPTS per world, not a guarantee: the generator gives up on a spot that fails the biome, altitude or spacing test, so a cramped world ends up with fewer.
Where Start Temple can generate
- Start Temple: within 10,000 m
Start Temple is placed by the world generator rather than built, so there is no coordinate to give you — but the rule behind it narrows the search considerably. It belongs to Meadows, has to land within 10,000 m from the centre of the world, and the generator makes 1 attempts at it. Sail out along the band rather than sweeping the map, and check the biome first.

Where to find Start Temple in Valheim
Where is Start Temple in Valheim?
In Meadows. There is no fixed position — worlds are generated from their seed — and this one carries no distance restriction, so it can turn up anywhere the biome does.
How many Start Temple are in a Valheim world?
The generator makes 1 attempts. Each one can fail the biome, altitude, spacing or terrain check and be thrown away, so that is a ceiling rather than a count — a world short on the right biome ends up with fewer.
Does Start Temple show on the map?
Yes, from the moment you wake up. It is marked on your map before you have been anywhere near it.
Which biome does Start Temple spawn in?
Meadows. Biome is only half the rule though: this one also has to sit between 3 and 1,000 in altitude, so the right biome at the wrong height produces nothing. That is why a location can feel absent from a region you have walked end to end.
Why does Start Temple appear in different places?
Because its placement rules number 1, and each one can name its own biome, distance band and altitude range. The world generator tries them in turn, so two copies of the same location can sit in terrain that looks nothing alike — they matched different rules, not the same one twice.
