The Nidhögg the Bleeding is a sword in Valheim, dealing 135 slash. At 135 total damage it is 10th of the 15 swords, so it is a step on the ladder rather than the top of it.

How to Craft

Crafted at Black forge, station level 4.
Costs 1x Nidhögg, 6x Flametal, 1x Bloodstone at quality 1.
Materials can be found in the Ashlands biome.

When to Use It

Late game. Flametal is in the Ashlands, the furthest south the map goes and, until 1.0, the hardest biome in the game.

Upgrades

Upgraded 3 times after crafting, each level wanting the station built one step further up than the last. Every figure quoted elsewhere on this wiki is quality 1, so this is the ladder your own copy is somewhere on:

Quality	Crafting Station	Slash	Durability	Resources
1	Black forge (Level 4)	135	200	1x Nidhögg 6x Flametal 1x Bloodstone
2	Black forge (Level 5)	141	250	6x Flametal 1x Bloodstone
3	Black forge (Level 6)	147	300	12x Flametal 2x Bloodstone
4	Black forge (Level 7)	153	350	18x Flametal 3x Bloodstone

Properties

It pays you for being hurt. Bloodstone adds 0.2% damage for every point of health you are missing, not the target. 100 health down is 20% more damage, which is real, and is also the state the Ashlands kills you in.

The gamble is the build. It asks for the opposite of the food and Rested discipline the rest of the game rewards, so it fits a player who blocks and parries well enough to fight at half health on purpose. If that is not you, the Thundering variant asks nothing.

Notes

The bonus is flat 135 slash plus a percentage, so it scales with quality level and with the Swords skill rather than replacing them.
